2. 22 Agenda What is OpenStack? How does it fit into puzzle? Why are people interested in it? What are common misconceptions? VMware + OpenStack Deep-dive demo of OpenStack with vSphere and NSX What are VMwares future plans for OpenStack? 3. 33 Cloud Management Platforms (CMPs) Hardware Infrastructure Software Infrastructure Cloud Management Platform Enabled By: Self-service provisioning Automation via APIs Business Goals: Reduce costs Increase agility Applications 4. 44 Anatomy of a Cloud Management Platform Hardware Infrastructure Software Infrastructure API Layer CMP Logic (governance, workflow, placement) Driver Layer Web GUI CLI SDK Applications Cloud Management Platform Tools for self- service + automation, built on top of API Models available resources. Handles requests to create/ destroy/update and view current statusVaries greatly by CMP: determines whether a request is allowed, updates external systems, decides what part of underlying infrastructure will host the workload Communicates to software infrastructure to create/destroy /update the real resources backing the request Identity 5. 55 Anatomy of OpenStack Hardware Infrastructure Software Infrastructure Web GUI Linux CLIs Python SDKs Applications Compute & Images API Compute Logic (quotas, scheduling) Compute Drivers (vSphere, KVM) Network API Network Logic (quotas, scheduling) Compute Drivers (NSX, Cisco) Block Storage API Block Storage Logic (quotas, scheduling) Block Storage Drivers (vSAN, EMC) User authentication, authorization Nova / Glance Neutron (Quantum) Cinder KeystoneHorizon OpenStack CMP 6. 66 $ glance image-list +---------------------+-------------+ | ID | Name | +---------------------+--------------+ | a8f0eaa9-bb23-40a6-b70f | Ubuntu-12.04 | | 7b91c0d1-1619-4769-9cc4 | Windows-7 | | be102fab-0467-4c8f-b8ff | RHEL-6.3 | $ Example of Using OpenStack API Abstractions Dev1 10.0.0.0/24 webserver-1 10.0.0.3 webserver- 210.0.0.4 Glance Image Catalog $ neutron net-list +---------------------+-------------+ | ID | Name | +---------------------+--------------+ | a8f0eaa9-bb23-40a6-b70f | public-net | 18.0.72.0/24 $ neutron net-create dev1 $ neutron subnet-create dev1 10.0.0.0/24 $ neutron net-list +---------------------+-------------+ | ID | Name | +---------------------+--------------+ | a8f0eaa9-bb23-40a6-b70f | public-net | 18.0.72.0/24 | b3493f5e-7ffb-4fa2-b996 | dev1 | 10.0.0.0/24 $ Flavors Small 1-vCPU 2 GB RAM Medium 2-vCPU 4 GB RAM Large 4-vCPU 8 GB RAM $ nova flavor-list +--- +-----------+----------+--------+ | ID | Name | vcpus | mem | +----+-----------+----------+--------+ | 0 | small | 1 | 2048 | | 1 | medium | 2 | 4096 | | 2 | large | 4 | 8192 | $ nova boot webserver flavor 0 count 2 image a8f0eaa9-bb23-40a6-b70f nic net=b3493f5e-7ffb-4fa2-b996 $ nova list +---------------------+-------------+-------------------------+ | ID | Name | Networks | +---------------------+--------------+------------------------+ | 0b738e51-4c6c | webserver-1 | dev1=10.0.0.3 | cda4d7b4-42a6 | webserver-2 | dev2=10.0.0.4 $ $ cinder create 20 display-name vol-1 $ cinder create 20 display-name vol-2 $ cinder list +---------------------+-------- +--------------------+ | ID | name | size | status | +---------------------+---------+--------------------+ | 0b738e51-4c6c | vol-1 | 20 GB | avail | | cda4d7b4-42a6 | vol-2 | 20 GB | avail | $ nova volume-attach 0b738e51-4c6c 0b738e51-4c6c $ nova volume-attach cda4d7b4-42a6 cda4d7b4-42a6 $ cinder list +---------------------+-------- +--------------------+ | ID | name | size | status | +---------------------+---------+--------------------+ | 0b738e51-4c6c | vol-1 | 20 GB | in-use | | cda4d7b4-42a6 | vol-2 | 20 GB | in-use | 20 GB20 GB 7. 77 What Makes OpenStack Interesting? Hardware Infrastructure Software Infrastructure Horizon CLI SDK Applications Keystone Nova Neutron Cinder OpenStack CMP Self-service tools OK for simple use cases, lack richness. Power users often build their own. Basic run wild within quota governance. Simple placement, no workflows to integration with external systems. Meh. Neat! API Layer Scheduling & Quotas Driver Layer A vendor independent IaaS API Large set of vendors contributing drivers, etc. Your developers can write code to customize cloud behavior. 8. 88 But What About.. Free/open source CMPs are nothing new: Eucalyptus, OpenNebula, CloudStack are older, with similar capabilities It is never free to ensure smooth operation of complex software infrastructure Comes down to: Build up large internal team able to troubleshoot/fix OpenStack issues. But still need to find a way to support lower layers of software infrastructure (e.g., hypervisor, storage) Buy support from a vendor (e.g., use of enterprise distros with free Linux). Free!!! Free!!! Free!!! Free!!! Free!!! Free!!! Free!!! Free!!! Free!!! 9. 99 Misconception: OpenStack is a Product No, it is an open source codebase, managed by OpenStack Foundation Manages process around changes to the open source code base Provides marketing / promotion of OpenStack, manages trademark. OpenStack is/will be available in many different forms, including: Roll your own: Download framework source code, build internal team to do almost everything. Distro: Packaged framework code with install/config mgmt bundled with OS. Pay for support. Core+: Commercial product, uses OpenStack code and APIs, but often also include proprietary addons. API Compat: Existing product adds OpenStack API compatibility. Tradeoffs - Flexible / Customizable - Vendor Agnostic - Complex + resource intensive to operate. - Missing mgmt tools. - Less Flexible - Vendor Specific - Easier to adopt + operate - Includes mgmt. tools 10. 1010 Misconception: With OpenStack API, lower layers dont matter. OpenStack is a framework. Always talk about "OpenStack on X". Your underlying infrastructure matters: Compute: issues with noisy-neighbors like AWS? Network: limited by VLANs? Storage: provide SLAs to guarantee IOPS? Management: proactively identify & quickly fix issues? Cloud Architects & Cloud Admins What infrastructure technologies meets my needs for advanced features, price, scale, reliability, monitoring, performance, SLAs, troubleshooting, etc? 11. 1111 Misconception: OpenStack Releases are like Product Releases Time-based releases, every 6 months. Inclusion in OpenStack is primarily based on code review + unit tests. Not functional testing, much less scale/performance/stress testing. Time-based release. More like an early beta. Users or distros do additional testing on what they care about, report/fix bugs, and decide when it is good enough Significant variations in the amount of testing, ranging from: well worn path of basic functionality with common drivers/configurations tested once by vendor who wanted checkbox of OpenStack compatibility Extends to things like documentation, upgrades, etc. Essex Folsom Grizzly Havana Icehouse 2012.1 2012.2 2013.1 2013.2 2014.1 12. 1212 Misconception: The OpenStack API is a Standard No. Today OpenStack is any cloud based on some variant of the OpenStack software. This provides: A vendor neutral API Shared knowledge/concepts and similar tools But is not a standard in terms of interoperability Relying on similar code allows for significant variation: API extensions lead to fragmentation (e.g., criticism of RAX + HP by the foundation) Running different OpenStack versions or services (nova-network vs. Neutron) Running with different configuration options Drivers may have subtle differences in implementation (e.g. L2 broadcast in Neutron) How to get closer to real interoperability? Some in community already pushing conformance testing, real API specifications Expect to see VMware get involved in these efforts moving forward The standard kilogram 13. 1313 Misconception: Choosing between OpenStack and VMware Reality: OpenStack can run on top of compute/network/storage/mgmt: entirely from VMware ecosystem entirely from other sources a mix of VMware ecosystem + other sources OpenStack can co-exist with other CMPs in the same VMware stack. Ex: Use OpenStack to give developers programmatic self-service access to a slice of your vSphere capacity Use vCenter or vCAC to manage IT workloads that require significant governance 14. 1414 Misconception: OpenStack is only for Service Providers Has roots in SPs, but some large enterprises act like SPs: View their cloud platform itself as a key point of competitive differentiation. Have their own large internal development teams building cloud software. See OpenStack as a flexible platform they can customize + use. SP roots & framework complexity can be stumbling blocks for majority of enterprises: focus on new cloud apps weak enterprise features (e.g., SLAs). Limited admin tools to configure, monitor, troubleshoot etc. Standalone design: no integration into existing enterprise workflows Very Linux-centric, with lots of different services to install/manage. Wider enterprise adoption will depends on integration OpenStack being integrated + sold as part of an enterprise-grade product. OpenStack on VMware: Devops + Enterprise IT on a single platform 15. 1515 VMware Philosophy on OpenStack SOFTWARE-DEFINED DATACENTER (SDDC) + CUSTOMER CHOICE VMwares Mission: Building best-of-breed technologies for compute/network/storage/mgmt to enable SDDC. Making sure customers have many ways to leverage VMware technology when designing their cloud architecture. VMware is Embracing OpenStack as: A flexible framework for building a cloud management platform from best-of-breed components. A promising potential API standard for developer-centric IaaS. 16. 1616 Best-of-Breed VMware Technologies and OpenStack Tenant-Side Admin/Operator-Side Benefits of OpenStack API & Framework Choice of best-in- class virtualization & management technologies Horizon ( Web Portal ) vSphere & vCenter CLI Tools & Scripts (DevOps Automation) vCAC Application Director Nova Neutron Cinder Glance NSX Datastores 3rd-party / vSAN vCenter templates Cloud Operator Tools (vCenter, vCOPs, Log Insight etc.) Third Party Operator tools (Puppet/Chef, scripts, nagios...)

Continued OpenStack contributions, focused on: Enabling more rich VMware functionality via OpenStack APIs. Helping community push toward a true API standard + validation. Expand OpenStack touch-points for VMware management stack: Including vCenter, vCAC, vCOPs, and Log Insight. Simplified options for leveraging OpenStack + VMware products: Ex: Canonical + VMware joint support for OpenStack + vSphere/NSX Make the vCloud Suite the best and easiest way to run OpenStack 20. 2020 Agenda What is OpenStack?
