- 3. DIY Approach Followed By Some Of The Best
- 4. Today’s Architectural Battle Web Approach Scale-out Architecture Design for Failure Information-centric Commodity systems Open Source Enterprise Approach Vertical scaling HA failover model Transactional Application specific Infrastructure Commercial Software Applied Now to a Cloud IaaS Platform
- 5. Web Scale Cloud Computing Platform Customers want to avoid being locked Common platform offered by multiple vendors Standardization of the API Ability of move data and applications Cloud service provider needs Serve many tenants, over thousands of severs Easy to operate Allows provider to focus on support, reliability, availability… Need to be able to differentiate offerings and integrate additional services
- 6. Open Source Advantages Leverage the work of a growing community of developers Works across multiple hardware infrastructure Possible to deploy at service providers and on-premise Customized to fit individual needs or to add additional services
- 7. What is OpenStack? Originated at NASA, with Rackspace Driven by an open community process Three existing projects: OpenStack Compute OpenStack Image Service Open Object Storage Multiple hypervisors: Xen, KVM, ESXi, Hyper-V Releases : Austin: Oct 2010 Bexar: Feb 2011 Cactus: April 2011: Current Diablo: scheduled for Sept 2011 OpenStack Object Store (Storage) OpenStack Compute (VMs & VM Networks) OpenStack Image Service ( Image Library & Management )

- 14. Quantum – Network Service API gives ability to create interesting network topologies. Example: create multi-tier applications Provide way to connect multiple Openstack services. Example: Nova VM + Atlas LB on same private network. Open the floodgates to let anyone build services that plug into Openstack networks. Examples: VPN-aaS, firewall-aaS, IDS-aaS. Allows innovation plugins that overcomes common cloud networking problems Example: avoid VLAN limits, provide strong QoS
- 15. Quantum – Extensibility Quantum API Quantum Service L2 network abstraction definition and management Device and service attachment framework Does NOT do any actual implementation of abstraction Quantum Plug-in API API Extensions Vendor/User Plug-In Maps abstraction to implementation on physical network Makes all decisions about *how* a network is implemented Can provide additional features through API extensions
- 16. Open Stack: A Platform for Innovation “ I need a different VM placement policy” “ I’ll build in a way to share revenue with my customer’s” “ I want to report on my customers SLAs” “ My UI will be easier to use” “ I have a much better way to snapshot machine images” “ I let my customers span multiple clouds”
