What is OpenStack?

3INTERNAL & CONFIDENTIAL

Modular Open Source framework Written in Python

Modular, with Multiple Projects

(GUI Portal is a project, Storage is a

project..etc...)

Supported by OpenStack Foundation

(Non Profit)

6 Month release Cycle (for all projects)

Alphabetical release naming (A)ustin(B)exar

…(J)uno(K)ilo

(L)iberty

Projects follow Lifecycle (Incubated, Integrated, Core)

Vendors provide the drivers for each project

(whenever applicable)

Main OpenStack Projects• Nova: OpenStack Compute (Similar to Amazon EC2 API)

• Swift : OpenStack Object Store (Similar to Amazon S3)

• Glance : OpenStack Image Store (Similar to Amazon AMI catalog)

• Cinder: OpenStack Block Storage (Similar to Amazon EBS)

• Keystone: OpenStack Identity, (Policy and Authentication service)

• Neutron: OpenStack Networking (Network as a service, routing, switching, etc. )

• Horizon: OpenStack Dashboard (GUI interface)

• Heat: OpenStack Orchestration (Similar to Amazon Cloudformation)

• Ceilometer: OpenStack Telemetry (Performance monitoring and analytics)

Why OpenStack on VMware?

CONFIDENTIAL7

Why OpenStack on VMware? (1/3)

OpenStack is as good as the technological foundation it runs on!

8

Reliability, Performance, Security, Scale, OpEx/CapEx reduction...

• Industry standard for security, stability, performance and reliability

• Rich Features, including vMotion, high-availability, fault tolerance, DRS, resource protections, low-latency, etc...

• Lower OPEX from advanced management and operation features

vSphere Compute(Nova)

• Advanced Security and Multi-Tenancy (Micro-Segmentation)

• Multi-hypervisor: ESX, KVM, Xen…

• Advanced NW services with massive scale & throughput (Routing, Load Balancing, QoS)

• Integration with 3rd Party network services (e.g.., Arista, F5, etc...)

NSX Network (Neutron)

• Work with any vSphere validated storage (Largest HCL in the industry)

• Advanced Storage Policies for multiple tiers of storage.

• Leverage Commodity Hypervisor-Converged Storage Nodes with Virtual SAN (performance study: http://www.principledtechnologies.com/vmware/OpenStack_VSAN_0614.pdf )

Why OpenStack on VMware? (2/3)

Cover Existing Gaps in OpenStack Management & Operations

9

• Single pane of glass for the entire infrastructure including Physical, Virtual, and OpenStack services

• Root cause analysis, dependency mapping for faster fault isolation

• Dedicated dashboards for• OpenStack Services (Nova,

Neutron, Keystone …etc..)• Tenants for easier capacity and

monitoring

vRealize Operations

• Consolidate and aggregate dozens of logs across all OpenStack services (i.e. Nova Service has more than 10 logs)

• Out-of-box OpenStack dashboardssuch as error rates, API response times etc...

• Troubleshoot and detect quickly using advanced machine learning-based intelligent grouping and search

vRealize Log Insight

• Get transparency on Cost, usage and quality of your cloud services

• Compare actual usage against planned and perform what if capacity analysis

• Provide per tenant show back/chargeback to LOB

• Benchmark your cloud against industry peers or other public cloud providers

Why OpenStack on VMware? (3/3)Leverage investments in Infrastructure, Skills and Tools

10

• Leverage your trusted, validated architecture across all your workloads

• Use your existing infrastructure to quickly reach production-grade OpenStack, can evolve in future.

Your Infrastructure

• Capitalize on your existing expertise to build, run and troubleshoot your OpenStack environment

• Save time and effort required to learn and master new hypervisor, network, storage

Your Skills & Expertise

• No need to add additional monitoring and management tools

• Utilize your existing troubleshooting tools and scripts
