OpenStack 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.

In other words, to provide Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to

consumers whether they are business units within an enterprise or customers of a public cloud.

Infrastructure as a Service?• Software as a Service (SaaS) – Software

that requires no specific host-based software (Dropbox, Gmail)

• Platform as a Service (PaaS) – Programmable environment (Google App Engine, If This Then That, iCloud)

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – Consumer installs OS (Amazon Web Services, Rackspace Cloud, Hetzner VPS)

GoDaddy is not IaaS

• Tenants share the same operating system, over which they have no admin control

• Network access control is not possible (consumer cannot setup VPN)

• API access is not available so control of the system cannot be made programmatic

Cloud?

• Cloud services include SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS

• They can be deployed privately in a corporate data center

• Or they can be publicly available• They can even be deployed within a

community like a school or research center

On-Demand Self Service

A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed automatically without requiring human interaction with each service provider.

Broad Network Access

Capabilities are available over the network and accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms (e.g., mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and workstations).

Resource Pooling

The provider’s computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand. There is a sense of location independence in that the customer generally has no control or knowledge over the exact location of the provided resources but may be able to specify location at a higher level of abstraction (e.g., country, state, or datacenter). Examples of resources include storage, processing, memory, and network bandwidth.

Rapid Elasticity

Capabilities can be elastically provisioned and released, in some cases automatically, to scale rapidly outward and inward commensurate with demand. To the consumer, the capabilities available for provisioning often appear to be unlimited and can be appropriated in any quantity at any time.

Measured Service

Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing, bandwidth, and active user accounts). Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported, providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service.

What Exactly Is OpenStack?• OpenStack is a set of scripts and

software packages which facilitate launching compute power and storage on simple servers

• These services can be isolated between tenants (i.e. customers) for data security

• OpenStack allows organizations to deploy their own Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas)

What’s the Point?

• Can’t I just install a server in a rack for my application?

• Won’t I lose performance if my apps aren’t running directly on the hardware?

• Security seems like a big issue, no?

Server in Rack

• Limited capacity to move OS and services to other server when hardware is failing

• Can’t ‘add’ more memory or CPU capacity without an extended outage

• You have to worry about parts and physical security (including environmental issues like cooling)

Won’t I lose performance?

• Hypervisors have overhead (some say 1-5%)

• Compute power can even be enabled to bare metal

• A multi-tenant cluster benefits from economies of scale (faster RAM, more cores, more spinning drives)

• Economies of scale extend to management where engineers can focus just on low-level performance

Security

• Economies of scale extend to security as well where Ops people can focus on lower level security

• Ops people can more easily manage networking ACLs, etc… via Software Defined Networking (SDN)

• OS-level and logical security under the purview of the consumer as was the case before

OpenStack is now 3 years old

‣ Expanded scope from Compute and Object Storage to Compute, Storage, Networking and Shared Services, with rich ecosystem of Integrated projects emerging

‣ OpenStack has public clouds in more cities than Amazon has regions

‣ Major private cloud users at Best Buy, Bloomberg, Comcast, Fidelity, PayPal and more

‣ OpenStack has become the center of cloud innovation – more than 1,000 developers, supported by major IT companies

Why are we succeeding?

‣ Successful platforms have three forces:‣ Technology

‣ Ecosystem

‣ Users

Core Values Remain

• We’re keeping sacred what has made OpenStack so successful

• Open source is essential to unlock the value of cloud computing

• Four opens:– Open Design– Open Development– Open Community– Open Source

On the horizon

• New projects & functionality, but also focus on stability and maturity– Orchestration and Metering become integrated

in Havana– DBaaS and Bare Metal currently Incubated

projects

• Focus on education and talent development– New Operations and Security Guides– Ecosystem and community discussions to

accelerate training and certification

• Reaching application developers
