OpenStack and
Rackspace
AN AUSTRALIA PERSPECTIVE

2
Who am I?
•  New to OpenStack
•  Not new to Open Source
•  Project Team Lead (PTL) for the OpenStack Stable Branch Maintenance
–  I make sure that a released version of OpenStack doesn’t regress!

4
Who are we?
•  In numbers
– 15 Upstream developers
– 2 Project Team Leads (PTL)
– 10 ‘core’ contributors across 10 projects and many more repositories
– 1 ‘infra-root’ team member
•  More than numbers
– Simply put we are 15 developers that are committed Open Source, OpenStack
and our partnerships with our customers and the community

6
The conversation
•  Initial interest in our Rackspace
Private Cloud (RPC) product
•  Needed to support OnMetal (ironic)
deploys
•  Wanted Continuous Deployment (CD)
of the control plane
•  Needed a simple and safe rollback
strategy
•  Installation of the control plane itself
is out of scope
•  Application/workload can sustain a
degraded state temporarily.

7
What we did
•  Got very excited 😃
•  Partnered with the customer
•  Developed a semi-automated
Continuous Deployment tool
•  Side-by-Side - Blue/Green
•  Rolling Upgrade
•  Open test infrastructure (CI) that
doesn’t require ironic
•  We’re in the process of modifying
this infrastructure to augment to
OpenStack CI gate
•  From scratch under and Open
(Apache) license.

8
The scenario
•  A running workload which can’t be interrupted
•  A running OpenStack Control Plane (CP1) “in charge” of the nodes
•  A deployed the new OpenStack Control Plane (CP2) waiting for nodes

9
What it does – it’s simple said out loud
The ‘fork-lift’
1.  Notify workload manager that a
node will vanish
2.  Wait for workload on that node to
complete
3.  Save the meta-data about node
4.  De-enroll node from ironic in CP1
5.  Enroll node in CP2 with the meta-
data saved previously
6.  This will reboot the node
7.  Notify workload manager that a
node is available
8.  Monitor application/workload
stability
9.  Repeat

10
A few considerations
•  Add/Remove Control planes
•  Automated ‘one click’ migrate
Control plane now
•  Viewing the progress of the whole
process
•  We need to be able to ‘lock‘ the
system to prevent any fork-lifts
•  We need to be able to pause the
system to address application/
stability
•  The level of parallelism is limited by
the application/workload
•  The workload is upgraded outside of
the fork-lift
•  All using OpenStack APIs not product
APIs
•  Which endpoints do the OpenStack
APIs target?

11
Summary
•  Introduced our team and culture
•  Showed how we translate that culture into value for our customers
•  Described the OpenStack new tool we created
– The tool is destined for the OpenStack ‘big tent’
– Built using OpenStack principles and paradigms
– Built for OpenStack by an OpenStack team

Audience: Intermediate About: Developing a new product from scratch in a large business can be a time- and effort-consuming exercise. When Telstra started our journey on a new initiative developing a new platform to support bringing new products to market more quickly and cost-effectively, we knew that we would need to do things a bit differently. How can we build faster and cheaper? Can we do it without deploying any physical elements? How can we get closer to our aspirations for a Continuous Deployment model? How can we start small(ish) and grow rather than deploying everything up front? This presentation will talk about these questions and how they lead to our use of OpenStack for both application deployment and a Network Functions Virtualisation platform. Speaker Bio: Rik Harris – Cloud Technology Strategy, Telstra Rik is an experienced IT professional who has been working in corporate and government Australia for around 25 years. He has been with Telstra since 2003 in several roles, including running IT infrastructure deployment teams, managing engineering for Telstra internal shared infrastructure and currently responsible for technology strategy for Telstra’s Cloud business.

Mastering DevOps With Oracle

Kelly Goetsch

The DevOps model is rapidly transforming IT operations and development practices. But what are the precursors necessary to implement DevOps? To achieve an agile, virtualized, and highly automated IT environment, what technological requirements need to be in place? OpenStack has the potential to facilitate DevOps implementation and practices at several different layers in the data center. In this session we'll quickly discuss what DevOps is, then discuss many components that are logically required to move towards DevOps in your environment. Finally we'll explore in depth several ways OpenStack can provide these baseline components.

Presentation given at the OpenStack summit in Paris (Kilo) on Tue Nov 4th. Last summit I had the pleasure to present a talk which encountered some success "Are enterprise ready for the OpenStack transformation?" (also published on SlideShare) . This talk is a follow up on what are the best practices that are successful in operating the transformation. We will first focus on identifying the right use cases for a generic enterprise, then define a roadmap with an organisational and a technical track, to finish with the definition what would be our success criterias for our group. This will happen as a workshop summary based on the multiple engagements eNovance has been delivering over the past 2 years.

Pulsar is a great technology, but it is also a new, less well-known technology competing against incumbent technologies, which is always a bit of a tough sell. In this talk, we will go over the whole end-to-end process of how we researched, advocated, built, integrated, and established Apache Pulsar at Instructure in less than a year. We will share details of how Pulsar's capabilities differentiate it, how we deploy Pulsar, and how we focused on an ecosystem of tools to accelerate adoption. We will also discuss one major motivating use case of change-data-capture for hundreds of databases servers at scale.

We recently teamed up with our good friends at SUSE to build a very high-performing and scalable storage landscape at a fraction of the cost than with traditional storage systems for the Swinburne University of Technology. The challenge that the IT team at Swinburne were facing is how to accommodate the ever-growing need for performance and capacity while sticking to a tight budget. With SUSE Enterprise Storage we have been able to deploy a compelling and affordable solution to support Swinburne’s storage needs. Their new storage platform is fast and flexible, meaning the IT team at Swinburne can support the needs of researchers more effectively. https://aptira.com/swinburne-university-technology/

Audience Level Intermediate Synopsis Today’s fast-paced development environment has changed the compliance landscape. Many software projects consist of more than 50% Open Source Software (OSS) components, but as much as 99% are undocumented, increasing the complexities of managing your company’s software compliance process. Of particular concern is “Zombie software”, or software that is outdated and contains vulnerable versions of certain components. Zombies can live in your code forever if you’re not aware of them. The acceleration of modern development lifecycles and the breakdown of an undocumented software supply chain have opened up new pathways for zombies to enter your software – leaving you exposed to security threats. This presentation discusses best practices for implementing an Open Source Software management strategy that covers common pitfalls and commercial licence issues as well as the optimal way to track and eliminate the risks associated with Zombies! Speaker Bio: Involved in and around IT development for over 20 years, starting as a web developer using NotePad in 1995 when the most exciting thing online was Sun’s animated Java coffee cup, through Numega Pre-Sales selling BoundsChecker and now into the brave, new World of Open Source and software composition analysis.

OpenStack

Audience Level Intermediate Synopsis The traditional user experience for High Performance Computing (HPC) centers around the command line, and the intricacies of the underlying hardware. At the same time, scientific software is moving towards the cloud, leveraging modern web-based frameworks, allowing rapid iteration, and a renewed focus on portability and reproducibility. This software still has need for the huge scale and specialist capabilities of HPC, but leveraging these resources is hampered by variation in implementation between facilities. Differences in software stack, scheduling systems and authentication all get in the way of developers who would rather focus on the research problem at hand. This presentation reviews efforts to overcome these barriers. We will cover container technologies, frameworks for programmatic HPC access, and RESTful APIs that can deliver this as a hosted solution. Speaker Bio Dr. David Perry is Compute Integration Specialist at The University of Melbourne, working to increase research productivity using cloud and HPC.

Audience Level Beginner Synopsis The Nectar Research Cloud provides an OpenStack cloud for Australia’s academic researchers. Since its inception in 2012 it has grown steadily to over 30,000 CPUs, with over 10,000 registered users from more than 50 research institutions. It is different to many clouds in being a federation across eight organisations, each of which runs cloud infrastructure in one or more data centres and contributes to a distributed help desk and user support. A Nectar core services team runs centralised cloud services. This presentation will give an overview of the experiences, challenges and benefits of running a federated OpenStack cloud and a short demonstration on using the Nectar cloud. We will also describe some current approaches that are looking to extend this federation to encompass other institutions including some in New Zealand, to extend the infrastructure using commercial cloud providers, and to move towards interoperability with the growing number of international science and research clouds through the new Open Research Cloud initiative. Speaker Bio Dr Paul Coddington is a Deputy Director of Nectar, responsible for the Nectar national Research Cloud, and also Deputy Director of eResearch SA. He has over 30 years experience in eResearch including computational science, high performance and distributed computing, cloud computing, software development, and research data management.

Audience Level Intermediate Synopsis Ceph – the most popular storage solution for OpenStack – stores all data as a collection of objects. This object store was originally implemented on top of a POSIX filesystem, an approach that turned out to have a number of problems, notably with performance and complexity. BlueStore, a new storage backend for Ceph, was created to solve these issues; the Ceph Jewel release included an early prototype. The code and on-disk format were declared stable (but experimental) for Ceph Kraken, and now in the upcoming Ceph Luminous release, BlueStore will be the recommended default storage backend. With a 2-3x performance boost, you’ll want to look at migrating your Ceph clusters to BlueStore. This talk goes into detail about what BlueStore does, the problems it solves, and what you need to do to use it. Speaker Bio: Tim works for SUSE, hacking on Ceph and related technologies. He has spoken often about distributed storage and high availability at conferences such as linux.conf.au. In his spare time he wrangles pigs, chickens, sheep and ducks, and was declared by one colleague “teammate most likely to survive the zombie apocalypse”.

Audience Level Intermediate Synopsis High performance computing and cloud computing have traditionally been seen as separate solutions to separate problems, dealing with issues of performance and flexibility respectively. In a diverse research environment however, both sets of compute requirements can occur. In addition to the administrative benefits in combining both requirements into a single unified system, opportunities are provided for incremental expansion. The deployment of the Spartan cloud-HPC hybrid system at the University of Melbourne last year is an example of such a design. Despite its small size, it has attracted international attention due to its design features. This presentation, in addition to providing a grounding on why one would wish to build an HPC-cloud hybrid system and the results of the deployment, provides a complete technical overview of the design from the ground up, as well as problems encountered and planned future developments. Speaker Bio Lev Lafayette is the HPC and Training Officer at the University of Melbourne.
