Platform
Web Scale Cloud Computing Platform
 Customers want to avoid being locked
• Common platform offered by multiple vendors
• Standardization of the API
• Ability of move data and applications
 Cloud service provider needs
•
•
•
•
Serve many tenants, over thousands of severs
Easy to operate
Allows provider to focus on support, reliability, availability…
Need to be able to differentiate offerings and integrate additional services
Open Source Advantages
 Leverage the work of a growing community of developers
 Works across multiple hardware infrastructure
 Possible to deploy at service providers and on-premise
 Customized to fit individual needs or to add additional
services
What is OpenStack?
 Originated at NASA, with Rackspace
 Driven by an open community process
 Three existing projects:
OpenStack Compute
OpenStack Image Service
Open Object Storage




Multiple hypervisors: Xen, KVM, ESXi,
Hyper-V
OpenStack Compute
(VMs & VM Networks)
OpenStack Image Service
(Image Library & Management)
 Releases:
•

•
Austin: Oct 2010
Bexar: Feb 2011
Cactus: April 2011: Current
Diablo: scheduled for Sept 2011

Quantum – Network Service
 API gives ability to create interesting network topologies.
 Example: create multi-tier applications
 Provide way to connect multiple Openstack services.
 Example: Nova VM + Atlas LB on same private network.
 Open the floodgates to let anyone build services that plug into Openstack
networks.
 Examples: VPN-aaS, firewall-aaS, IDS-aaS.
 Allows innovation plugins that overcomes common cloud networking
problems
 Example: avoid VLAN limits, provide strong QoS
Quantum – Extensibility
Quantum API
Quantum Service
• L2 network abstraction definition and management
• Device and service attachment framework
• Does NOT do any actual implementation of abstraction
Quantum Plug-in API
Vendor/User Plug-In
• Maps abstraction to implementation on physical network
• Makes all decisions about *how* a network is implemented
• Can provide additional features through API extensions
API Extensions
Open Stack: A Platform for Innovation
“My UI will be easier to use”
“I need a different VM
placement policy”
“I have a much better way to
snapshot machine images”
“I want to report on my
customers SLAs”
“I’ll build in a way to
share revenue with my
customer’s”
“I let my customers span
multiple clouds”
