3 Introduction Blogger, Author, Geek, 20 year IT veteran Assisted in book sprint to produce OpenStack Architecture Design Guide Published 6 other books Focused on open source, cloud computing, networking, and virtualization Run OpenStack at home 3

4 Agenda Quick overview of VMware NSX Channels for deploying NSX in OpenStack environments Examples of customer deployments Some futures for NSX with OpenStack Q&A 4

5 Quick overview of NSX

6 Quick overview of VMware NSX Network virtualization solution leveraging a network overlay Distributed L2, L3 across multiple hypervisors Scale-out control plane More advanced network services in a pure vsphere environment Distributed firewall (full stateful firewalling) Logical load balancing Logical VPN 6

9 Channels for deploying NSX with OpenStack

10 Supporting choice in consumption OpenStack can be consumed via different channels Prepackaged/preconfigured appliances and/or OpenStack Powered services Through distribution packages from Canonical, Red Hat, SUSE, etc. Via Do It Yourself Similarly, NSX can be consumed via different channels Through VMware Integrated OpenStack (VIO) Through partnerships with OpenStack distributions Via Do It Yourself 10

11 VMware NSX and VIO Falls more in the prepackaged/preconfigured category VIO is a great choice for existing vsphere environments VMware can provide end-to-end support for hypervisor, storage, networking, etc. Nice OpenStack features like seamless upgrades (and rollback!) Very rich set of features for NSX in a vsphere-only environment 11

12 VMware NSX and OpenStack distributions/partners Various partnerships announced with a variety of OpenStack distributions Canonical Mirantis HP In discussions with other partners (all customer-driven) Partners may provide technical integrations as well as professional services and support Coordination of support between partner distribution and VMware 12

13 VMware NSX and Do It Yourself Some of our largest customers use this approach Many of these are very large non-vsphere environments Customers build OpenStack themselves Could be deploying from close to trunk Could be deploying via packages from a Linux distribution VMware supports NSX and the NSX integration into OpenStack 13

14 Examples of customer deployments Large retailer Using VIO with vsphere and NSX Running a large web presence in production Currently running about 5000 VMs A couple large financial institutions Working through partners At different stages of deployment Service provider DIY implementation in full production Large non-vsphere environment 14

15 A brief look at the future of NSX

16 Futures for NSX with OpenStack Improved multi-hypervisor support Scale-out management plane Control plane is already scale out High-performance logical-to-physical connectivity Dynamic routing support for Neutron logical routers 16

17 Improved multi-hypervisor support Will help address difference today between NSX with multiple hypervisors and NSX in vsphere-only environments One key example is Distributed Firewall (DFW) Future release will bring DFW to KVM (via OVS integration with connection tracking kernel module in upstream Linux) Looking at Hyper-V support (via OVS port to Hyper-V), not committed yet 17

18 High-performance logical-to-physical connectivity Clustered network gateways to provide logical-to-physical connectivity Both VM and bare metal form factors supported Intel Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) supported Equal Cost Multipathing (ECMP) supported 18
