videos• Open Source News in

Cloud Computing• Focused on CloudStack

but not only• A resource for an “Open

Cloud” strategy

A bit of History

• Original company VMOPs (2008)• Open source (GPLv3) as CloudStack• Acquired by Citrix (July 2011)• Relicensed under ASL v2 April 3, 2012• Accepted as Apache Incubating Project April

16, 2012• First Apache release ACS 4.0 in November

2012

• CloudStack basics

IaaS Landscape

IaaS is really:

• A Data Center Orchestrator– Data storage– Data movement– Data processing

• That can:– Handle failures– Support large scale– Be programmed

What is CloudStack ?• Open source Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

solution.• “Programmable” Data Center orchestrator

• Apache Software Foundation Top Level Project (TLP)

Apache Software Foundation

Why ASF ?

• Citrix Open Sourced CloudStack to:– Build a community– Facilitate the building of an ecosystem– Faster time to market

• ASF highly recognized OSS foundation.• ASF clear processes• Individual contributions, companies have no

standing

A Community

ASF Pros & Cons• Pros:– Vendor neutral– No company affiliation– No vendor lock-in

• Cons:– Heavy processes ?– Weak marketing ?– Tad old-fashion ?– Developer centric

Company involvement

Multiple ContributorsSungard: Announced last

week that 6 developers were joining the Apache projectSchuberg Philis: Big contribution in building/packaging and Nicira supportSolidFire: New storage backend with QoS backendShapeBlue: User supportBasho: Support for RiackCS

• Build your Cloud with ASF software

Libcloud

• Python module that provides a Cloud Provider API abstraction

• Ability to write apps using multiple providers

• Now with an improved CloudStack driver

CloudStack + libcloud

from libcloud.compute.types import Provider

from libcloud.compute.providers import get_driver

Driver = get_driver(Provider.CLOUDSTACK)

conn=Driver(key=apikey,secret=secretkey,secure=True,host=host,path=path)

CloudStack Basic Zone

conn.list_locations()

images=conn.list_images()

offerings=conn.list_sizes()

conn.list_nodes()

conn.create_node(name='yoyo',image=images[0],size=offerings[0], extra_args={'keypair':’testkey'})

jClouds

• Under Incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF)

• Wrapper to multiple cloud providers

• Basis of many Cloud tools

Deltacloud

• Cloud Provider API abstraction

• Good way to get a DMTF CIMI interface

• Avoid lock-in for apps ?
