Brief History

• Data center solutions– Storage virtualization– Virtualization– Public cloud– Private and Public cloud

OpenStack

• According to OpenStack Foundation:– OpenStack is a global collaboration of developers and

cloud computing technologists producing the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds.

• Mission:– 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.

• Management– Horizon

OpenStack Components

OpenStack - Computing

• Nova : Compute component– Manage the Virtual machines– Control the hypervisor– Monitor the VM instances

• Glance : Image Store– The VM images are its babies– Manage the images and their hierarchy

OpenStack Storage

• Cinder : Block Storage– Export storage as a Volume which is a set of

Blocks.– Manage the volumes available and mapping to

VMs– Features like snapshots– Work going on for replication, enhanced

snapshots

OpenStack Storage

• Swift – Object Store– Stores objects– Abstract out the nitty gritty of the storage

subsystem

OpenStack Networking

• Neutron– Manage network namespaces– Manage the interconnects– Manage the bindings and Floating IPs

OpenStack Management

• Horizon– Called dashboard in popular culture

OpenStack Major Installation

• Rackspace• NASA• CERN• IBM – Plan to invest around a billion USD in few public

and private cloud infrastructure• Paypal• Ebay

OpenStack Ecosystem

• OpenStack Foundation:– Growing number of Individual members– Well defined development model and structure

• Sponsors– Platinum Members: 8– Gold Members: 19– Corporate Sponsors : 50+

• Developer, Tester, Documentation, UX developers

Self Promotion
