Readiness ScorePilot: Idea and “skeleton” implementation

Functional: Key use cases and architecture in place

Feature-complete: MVP, set of use cases implemented, stable to try

Production-used: seen used in cloudsby “others”*

Readiness: • Contributed by Huawei in Jan 2014• Not seen used except Huawei

16

“An open source project designed to provide ‘deployment as a service’

to a set of bare metal machines.”

TripleO

Readiness: • Officially “Integrated”• Functional, but work in progress (?)• Part of HP Helion

“Installs, upgrades and operates OpenStack cloud using OpenStack own cloud facilities”

• DevStack: favorite for development and playing around with OpenStack

• PackStack: a utility that uses Puppet modules to deploy OpenStack parts pre-installed servers over SSH.

• Warm: provides the ability to deploy OpenStack resources from Yaml templates.

• Inception: OpenStack in OpenStack for testing and playing

• Anvil: DevStack in Python, by Yahoo.

Blazar (ex. Climate)

Readiness:• Early • Basic functionality in place

“OpenStack reservation as a service project”

Rubick

Readiness:• Functional and complete• Lacks buy-in from other OpenStack projects

“Rule basic diagnostic tool for OpenStack configurations”

Satori

Readiness: • New (started 2014)• In early development (first POC March ‘14)

“The open policy framework for the cloud”

Cross domain policy

Every network attached to a VM must be a private network owned by someone in the same group as the VM owner

Nova

Neutron

Keystone

Congress

Readiness: • Well thought out design• Basic implementation - not fully functional• Seeks buy-in from OpenStack services

“The open policy framework for the cloud”

Mistral

Readiness:• New - Pilot in Altanta ‘ 14• Main functionality in place, refactoring• Platform for other OpenStack services

“Workflow service for OpenStack cloud”

Summary• Cloud deployment - solved problem

• Workload deployment – few – many products and solutions outside of OpenStack

• Day 2 automation – emerging, many approaches, no winner yet
