1 Virtualization Management the ovirt way Alan Pevec Red Hat devconf.cz February

2 Agenda 2 What is ovirt? Where did it come from? What does it do? Architecture Roadmap What's next?

3 What is ovirt? Large scale, centralized management for server and desktop virtualization Based on leading performance, scalability and security infrastructure technologies Provide an open source alternative to vcenter/vsphere Focus on KVM for best integration/performance Focus on ease of use/deployment 3

4 How Does It Look? 4

5 Goals of the ovirt project 5 Build a community around all levels of the virtualization stack hypervisor, manager, GUI, API, etc. To deliver both a cohesive complete stack and discretely reusable components for open virtualization management Provide a release of the project on a well defined schedule Focus on management of the KVM hypervisor, with exceptional guest support beyond Linux Provide a venue for user and developer communication and coordination

6 Governance 6 Merit based, open governance model Built using the best concepts taken from Apache and Eclipse Foundations Governance split between board and projects ovirt Board Multiple projects under the ovirt brand

7 Governance (ovirt Board) 7 Initial board Red Hat, IBM, NetApp, Cisco, SUSE, Intel A few domain leaders from sub-projects Mentors There is no limit to the number of board seats Additional seats are voted based on merit

8 How to Start? Build from source Or, just install pre-packaged 8 yum install ovirt-engine engine-setup Add managed hosts from engine use ovirt-node registration/approve flow

9 Administration Console 9

10 Search Auto Complete 10

11 Search Results 11

12 Add Host As Simple As 12

13 Power Management 13

14 Configure Networks 14

15 Or Bonds 15

16 Without Scripts or Config Files 16

17 Configure Storage Once for Entire Cluster 17

18 Extend with More LUNs as Needed 18

19 Add Servers or Desktops 19

20 Even Windows via Sysprep 20

21 SPICE or VNC 21

22 Migratable or Not 22

23 Highly Available? 23

24 Control Allocated Resources (Disk, Memory) 24

25 Boot Devices 25

26 Advanced Options via Custom Properties 26

27 Assign Permissions to Objects by Roles 27

28 Define Your Own Roles 28

32 Management Features Feature Description High Availability Restart guest VMs from failed hosts automatically on other hosts Live Migration Move running VM between hosts with zero downtime System Scheduler Continuously load balance VMs based on resource usage/policies Power Saver Concentrate virtual machines on fewer servers during off-peak hours Maintenance Manager No downtime for virtual machines during planned maintenance windows. Hypervisor patching Image Management Template based provisioning, thin provisioning and snapshots Monitoring & Reporting For all objects in system VM guests, hosts, networking, storage etc. OVF Import/Export Import and export VMs and templates using OVF files V2V Convert VMs from VMware and RHEL/Xen to ovirt 32

33 Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Centralized management, security and policy enforcement Virtual desktops with user experience of a physical PC Multiple monitors HD quality video Bi-directional audio/video for VoIP or video-conferencing Smartcard support USB support Industry leading density of virtual desktops/server 33

44 Notification Service 44 ovirt allows registration to certain audit events The notification service sends s per audit message to relevant users Also monitors engine itself

45 ovirt Guest Agent 45 The guest agent provides additional information to ovirt Engine, such as guest memory usage, guest ip address, installed applications and sso. Python code, available for both linux and windows guests Communication is done over virtio-serial SSO for windows is based on a gina module for XP and a credential provider for windows 7 SSO for RHEL 6 is based on a PAM module with support for both KDE and Gnome

48 Hooks Hook mechanism for customization Allows administrator to define scripts to modify VM operation 48 eg. Add extra options such as CPU pinning, watchdog device, direct LUN access, etc Allows ovirt to be extended for new KVM features before full integration is done An easy way to test a new kvm/libvirt/linux feature

49 Hooks 49

50 Hooks Hook scripts are called at specific VM lifecycle events VDSM (management agent) Start Before VM start After VM start Before VM migration in/out After VM migration in/out Before and After VM Pause Before and After VM Continue Before and After VM Hibernate Before and After VM resume from hibernate On VM stop On VDSM Stop Hooks can modify a virtual machines XML definition before VM start Hooks can run system commands eg. Apply firewall rule to VM 50

56 Thin Provisioning Over-Commitment is a storage function which allows RHEV-M to logically allocate more storage than is physically available 56 Generally, Virtual Machines use less storage than what has been allocated to them Virtual Machine to operate completely unaware of the resources that are actually available QEMU identifies the highest offset written onto the logical volume VDSM monitors the highest offset marked by QEMU VDSM requests to the SPM to extend the logical volume when needed
