3 RECAP -WHY VIRTUALIZE THE SERVER? DECREASE: INCREASE: Server sprawl Space and power Management inefficiencies Downtime Maintenance and support Hardware lock-in Service levels Hardware abstraction Agility and flexibility Server utilization Business continuity Staff productivity

4 WHAT IS OPENSTACK? OpenStack provides a massively scalable public cloudlike platform for managing and deploying cloud-enabled workloads Modular in nature, OpenStack is a combination of open source projects that control processing, storage, and networking resources, managed via a web GUI In OpenStack s two year history, more than 200 companies have joined the project including Red Hat in September 2011 In a recent CIO Quick Pulse survey, 64% of IT Managers are either deploying or considering OpenStack With tremendous momentum and industry backing, OpenStack is poised to become a major factor in the emerging cloud system software market. (IDC, July 2013)

7 WHY RED HAT OPENSTACK? Red Hat brings what OpenStack really needs... Supportability Stability & Code Maturity Certified Ecosystem Lifecycle Support for the entire stack from one vendor OpenStack Components Stable, mature and trusted Linux Operating System Secure, high performance virtualisation Storage Software Defined Networking

10 SERVICE MODELS / WORKLOADS TRADITIONAL WORKLOADS Stateful VMs, application defined in VM Big VMs: vcpu, vram, local storage inside VM Application SLA = SLA of VM SLA requires enterprise virtualization features to keep VMs highly available Lifecycle measured in years VMs scale up: add vcpu, vram, etc. Applications not designed to tolerate failure of VMs CLOUD WORKLOADS Stateless VMs, application distributed Small VMs: vcpu, vram, storage separate Application SLA not dependent on any one VM SLA requires ability to create and destroy VMs where needed Life cycle measured in hours to months Applications scale out: add more VMs Applications designed to tolerate failure of VMs

back to health FARM ANIMALS Farm animals are given numbers like vm0042.cern.

11 SERVICE MODELS / WORKLOADS PETS Pets are given names like pussinboots.cern.ch They are unique, lovingly hand-raised, and cared for When they get ill, you nurse them back to health FARM ANIMALS Farm animals are given numbers like vm0042.cern.ch They are almost identical to other farm animals When they get ill, you get another one Credit : Tim Cern Labs

12 TRADITIONAL VS CLOUD ENABLED WORKLOADS Traditional apps can take years to write, live for decades, are monolithic, need to be protected against failure at all costs Newer cloud-enabled workloads are different Failover and clustering designed for this purpose failure of these apps could lead to business disaster Disposable, stateless, modular Can adapt quickly to changes in external environment Examples: home grown customer facing apps, Netflix, Hulu, and many popular web-based games Organizations increasingly need to accommodate these two fundamentally different types of workloads
