OPENSTACK – WHAT IS IT AND WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT!
Tristan Goode CEO, Aptira Board Director, The OpenStack FoundationCo-founder and organizer of the Australian OpenStack User GroupSupporter and sponsor of the Indian OpenStack User Group
Agenda…• What is OpenStack?
• Who is behind OpenStack
• Phenomenal growth of the project
• Relevance in Australia and internationally
• Massive job demand
• Q & A
OpenStack?What is
More than……cloud infrastructure software
…a global open source community
…a collaboration among technology vendors
The platform ecosystem for the cloud
‣ Different than other cloud software or services
‣ Creates the most value for users
Platform Eco-systems
‣ How do they work?

So let’s start with the software‣ What’s it all made of?
THE FUNDAMENTAL OPENSTACK CLOUD PLATFORM
IT’S COMPLICATED!
Compute Provision and manage large pools of on-demand computing resources
Object Storage Petabytes of reliable storage on standard hardware
Block StorageVolumes on commodity storage gear, and drivers for more advanced systems like IBM, EMC, HP, Red Hat/Gluster, Ceph/RBD, NetApp, SolidFire, and Nexenta
Networking Software defined networking automation with pluggable backends
Dashboard Self-service, role-based web interface for users and administrators
Shared Services Multi-tenant authentication system that ties to existing stores (e.g. LDAP), Image Service
OpenStack Capabilities
•Time-Based Release Cycle
•New software release every six months, with interim milestones
•Twice Yearly Design Summits
•Immediately following software release to plan next version Sessions led by developers and Project Technical Leads
•Broad Contributions
•1000 developers, from over 50 companies worldwide
•Elected Leadership
•Developers elect their own Project Technical Leaders

Diverse Use Cases
Bloomberg, Comcast, Best Buy
What’s the Mission?
To produce the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform that will meet the needs of public and private clouds regardless of size, by being simple to implement and
massively scalable.
OpenStack?Who is behind

From 10k lines of code to 1M in less than 3 years
Developer Interest = Rapid Innovation
• Open platform‣ Community-driven innovation‣ Technology accessible in many ways: hourly, appliance,
distribution, DIY‣ mandatory interoperability between all OpenStack clouds
• Empowered users and developers‣ Deep engagement from our users and developers‣ Users have more control of their destiny
• Broad, global support from companies‣ Not driven by a single company; no single source;‣ Aggregate investment is huge
OpenStack Goals
Expanded scope from Compute and Object Storage to Compute, Storage, Networking and Shared Services, with rich ecosystem of Integrated projects emerging, LBaaS, DBaaS, metering and billing etc
OpenStack has public clouds in more cities than Amazon has regions, and they are interoperable!
Major user adoption
OpenStack has become the centre of cloud innovation
3 years in – Report Card
AustraliaRelevance in
and internationally
• We are the most virtualised country in the world, but our cloud adoption is pedestrian (we can cut costs, compete globally)
• Build clouds free of proprietary (read US dominated) constraints• It provides the “primordial soup” which entrepreneurs feed on• Develop cloud computing technologies here and export skills• Reverse the “brain drain”• Organizations are realizing OpenStack is the only way forward to
“glue” their infrastructure together• Perfect for Government adoption & compliments Open
Government initiatives• No more puppies – just them cows – no more clickfails
OpenStack in Australia
• “Cloud for the rest of the world”• Lowers barriers of entry for emerging and developing nations• Democracy beats dictatorship in the Cloud!• Internationalisation helps level the cloud playing field• Data ownership worries (NSA etc), build your cloud on sovereign
soil, always retain control of your data!• October Summit will be the first outside of the US (in Hong Kong)• Huge surge in code contribution from outside the US• Most use cases are now outside the US• Creating jobs all over the world http://openstack.org/jobs
(More on jobs later)
The global impact of OpenStack
Dr. Liu Ming keynoted the inaugural APAC OpenStack conference in Beijing last August….He is the “Deputy Director of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Software and Integrated Circuit Promotion Centre”
“OpenStack will smash the monopoly of the western cloud providers!”
Possible future news headline…“China and USA sign peace accord at the 2016 OpenStack Summit”
China loves OpenStack!
A great analogy comes from the early days of the Internet…
…the transition away from fractured, proprietary flavours of UNIX toward open-source Linux.
An open cloud will provide the same benefits to cloud computing that the Linux standard provided to the server.
Why OpenStack will become predominant
Plus… it’s a lot of fun to be involved!
MASSIVEjobs demand
OpenStack eco-system has 0% unemployment!
