VMware + OpenStack: Better Together

….industry leading data center virtualization technologies that enterprise IT already knows how to operate.

An industry-wide APIs + tool ecosystem that cloud application developers love…

Our Opportunity as a Community + Ecosystem:

Use VMware as a vehicle to accelerate OpenStack adoption in the Enterprise.


Why is OpenStack Interesting?

Free?Freedom of Choice… • Choose different virtualization technologies

for compute, network, and storage.

• Choose different deployment models (do-it-yourself vs. vendor solution)

Confusion about OpenStack + VMware is often the result of misunderstanding of what makes OpenStack interesting to real end-users.

OpenStack: VMware’s Opportunity

• Choice of underlying technologies & deployment model.• An open process for defining industry standard APIs.

• Best-in-class “software-defined datacenter” technology, consumed as individual components or as an integrated software suite.

…with the innovation and reliability of VMware

A great way to enable customer choice & open standards…

Contribute:Participate in OpenStack community, integrating our products and improving the stability/functionality of the overall platform.

Differentiate:

Enable:Work with OpenStack community to make sure our customers have many options to deploy OpenStack with VMware technologies.

Help our customers understand why we believe that VMware technology helps you run the best possible OpenStack cloud.


ContributeParticipate in OpenStack community, integrating our products and improving the stability/functionality of the overall platform.


VMware OpenStack Pre-History July 2009: Nicira (now VMware) announces the Open vSwitch project.

July 2010: Nicira participates in the initial OpenStack “Austin” summit.

April 2011: Nicira helps create the OpenStack Networking project (now Neutron) at the “Diablo” summit.

Sept 2012: VMware joined the OpenStack Foundation as a Gold Member,

Oct. 2012: At “Grizzly” summit, VMware publicly commits to integrating its products with OpenStack.

Enable

Work with OpenStack community to make sure our customers have many options to deploy OpenStack with VMware technologies.


Customer Choice: Deployment Options

Tradeoffs- Limited config/driver options. - Easier to adopt + operate- Integrated mgmt. tools.- Simplified support.

- Flexible / Customizable- Complex + resource

intensive to built + operate. - Missing mgmt tools.

Do-it-Yourself: Download framework source code, potentially modify code, integrate with internal tools, self-validate,

Distro: Packaged + tested OpenStack framework code, often bundled with install/config tools.

Product: Tightly integrated solution across virt, cloud + mgmt layers. Provides standard APIs for interoperability.

OpenStack + VMware can be consumed in a variety of forms, based on a customer’s goals:


OpenStack Ecosystem Partnerships

!vSphere + NSX:Juju charm + Landscape installer support. .

!vSphere + NSX:RHOS support for vSphere. NSX in progress.

!vSphere + NSX:Available in SUSE Cloud 3

!vSphere + NSX:Mirantis Fuel support.

differentiated value in an OpenStack environment.

Why vSphere for Nova?

Technical:

• Purpose-built hypervisor platform provides unmatched combination of reliability, security, and performance.

• Availability features (vMotion, HA) and compatibility testing protect critical production workloads.

• Advanced resource management (DRS, SDRS) protects from noisy neighbors, better utilizes HW.

Operational / Organizational:

• Enterprise-polished solution simplifies adoption. • Enterprises already have the expertise. • Vast array of VMware + Ecosystem tools to manage

the infrastructure layer

VMware NSX

Network Virtualization Platform

Technical Capabilities:

• First and most production-hardened network virtualization solution.

• Doesn’t relay on physical network for VLANs, FW, etc. Works with gear from any vendor.

• Part of large prod OpenStack installs for 2+ years.• The technical “details” matter:

• Tunneling packet performance • High-availability + scale-out model. • “Distributed” network services.

Compatibility + Ecosystem:• Works on KVM, XenServer, and ESX. • Integrations with many HW Switch vendors to allow NSX

to manage physical workloads.

Operations:• Troubleshooting tools to view how virtual networks are

built, impact of physical network failures.

Why vSphere for Cinder and Glance?

Simple but Powerful:

• Single driver works with any vSphere validated storage (NFS, iSCSI, FC)

• Leverages huge validation efforts across many vendors.

• Includes VAAI array acceleration work for snapshot, clone, etc.

Enables VMware “virtual SAN”: • Provides shared storage leveraging

SSD/Hard-disks on the hypervisor. • Low-cost storage devices, but with

accelerated by local SSD cache.• SSD cache is configurable per-disk,

allowing extremely high IOPs for data intensive workloads.

Management Technologies with OpenStack

Application Management:• vCloud Automation Center (vCAC) 6.0

includes support for consuming from OpenStack clouds, in addition to other back-ends like vSphere, KVM, + AWS.

• Provides governance, policy, workflow, and costing, reclaimation, etc. which are not present in OpenStack.

Infrastructure Management: • vCenter and the NSX manager provide

core troubleshooting capabilities. • vCenter Operations Management

(vCOPs) provides advanced visibility into the relationships between different elements, health monitoring, anomaly detection, etc.

• Log Insight provides powerful log analysis capabilities.

Current Status and Plans– Initial POC successful with Open Stack controlling vSphere (through

VC)• Getting ready for pilot

– Enterprise App Platform (live migration, DRS, VMware HA, and future tech)

– What is working:• VM orchestration (create, destroy, start, stop) through Nova API/CLI/GUI• Storage volume create, attach, destroy via Cinder API to vSphere• VM Imports into OpenStack

– What we need:• Multi Datacenter per Virtual Center• Continued VMware support of open source control plane for industry• Federation Experience for multi platform Hybrid consumption model• OpenStack visibility into scheduling workloads onto trusted compute pools

Goal: Share our production results in Paris with all of you
