Virtual data centers with OpenStack Quantum
Download as PPTX, PDF4 likes1,007 views
The document summarizes Quantum, an OpenStack networking service that aims to provide an API and abstraction layer for managing virtual networks in OpenStack clouds. It allows tenants to create isolated private networks and attach virtual machines. The Quantum service API is called by other OpenStack services and tenants. Quantum plugins map the API abstraction to specific network implementations. This allows Quantum to work with different network infrastructures. The goal is to provide networking capabilities similar to a physical data center but with less complexity. Quantum is still basic but evolving to support more advanced networking features.

Application, “I would like certain resources (of type …) certain virtual topologies, specific services” OpenStack Quantum Service Lower levels provision physical or virtual resources, setup configuration, and provide information back Network Service is very new – still lots to be done – and keep it simple • Span multiple data centers? • Best placement of VMs? • Network security, policies? • Quality of service? • Notion of a network container? • SLA guarantees? 25
- 26. • Advantages of cloud computing • On-demand virtualized resources, self- service, lower cost • Resources managed by others • Ability to create your own isolated private networks • Extensible • Challenge!! Quantum • Easy-to-use Network Service • Minus the complexity of the traditional data center • Work work with different networking infrastructure 26
- 27. • Incubation during this past period (Essex) • Voted to go into core with Folsom release • Publicly available implementations (plugins): • Open vSwitch, Linux Bridge, Cisco UCS/Nexus, Nicira NVP, Ryu OpenFlow • Still quite basic – but evolving quickly • L3 IP address management, subnets, routing, services • Extensions mechanism for exposing new capabilities • Stay for the following talks on Quantum • OpenStack Quantum for Cloud Operators • Panel on OpenStack Networking • http://wiki.openstack.org/Quantum 27
