OpenStack Quantum Network Service

Quantum:What it is and Where it’s going Lew Tucker VP/CTO Cloud Computing Cisco Systems, Inc. @lewtucker

+ Quantum• OpenStack: open source software for building highly scalable public and private clouds• Designed as a set of services forming the basis of a cloud platform• Evolving through community process in which all members may contribute• Quantum is a community project to build a “Network Service” for advanced networking capabilities

Open Source Is Where “Standard” Cloud Infrastructure Will Be Defined Open standards [require] multiple providers, access to code and data, and interoperability of services. The obvious solution is an open source reference model as the standard. Potential examples of such would be the OpenStack effort. -Simon Wardley, CSC From “A Question of Standards” http://blog.gardeviance.org/2011/04/question-of-standards.html

Current Cloud Computing model is great for application development, self-service,and automation, but is missing the potential programmability of the infrastructure I’m a Cloud. But I can help I don’t need (sigh) you! • Applications and infrastructure could interact with each other to provide the best performance, experience and reliability • What is missing is the right mechanism to expose networking infrastructure capabilities without bringing all the complexity into the application layer

 Compute service (EC2): virtual machines App Svr - Specify vCPU, Memory, Disk OS - Launch instance (image, mem_size, disk) VM - Suspend, clone, migrate Storage service (S3, EBS): virtual disks - Specify storage amount, access rights - Store object - Create/attach block Networking• What to do about networks?

 Servers are virtualized through partitioning Storage through aggregation Networks through slicing/tunnels/tagging… Networks are a shared resource carrying traffic for all tenants across shared links Network overlays and virtualization create private networks through tagging, routing, encapsulation (tunneling), and separation of control (openflow, etc.) - VLANS, NVGRE, VXLAN, STT, LISP Quantum is designed to support private networks

My Private Network

 Create multiple, virtual, isolated networks per tenant (FE-Net, DB-Net) Multiple network interfaces per VM (in-line services) Create ports on networks (QoS, profiles) and attach VM’s Have control over your own “private” IP addresses Access through a user-friendly CLI and GUI (Horizon) Invoke additional capabilities through extensions Support different underlying networking implementations (VLANS, L2/L3 tunnels, etc.)

Quantum API API Extensions: For controlled innovation and experimentation Quantum Service• Network abstraction definition and management• Does NOT do any actual implementation of abstraction Quantum Plug-in API Vendor/User Plug-In• Maps abstraction to implementation on physical network• Can provide additional features through API extensions

 Keep it simple - hide complexity while exposing capabilities Provision their own, abstracted networking resources and topologies Potential to create their own networking services Isolation and non-interference Ability to experiment while leveraging all that is provided by lower-level protocols

 Quantum 1.0 is available today for Essex as an incubation project - Supports isolated L2 networks - Multiple plug-in’s available Folsom release – moving into Core - Quantum V2 API (in development) - Support tenant-created subnets - Integrated with Horizon (dashboard) and Keystone (identity/token/policy) - Includes “Melange” IPAM for IP address management - Includes DHCP/Dnsmasq functionality

Purposely started simple with basic abstraction, but with many blueprintsexpect to see rapid innovation, while maintaining backward compatibility  More plug-in’s for other networking paradigms  Extensions for QoS, port profiles, etc.  Used in the development of new network services  Applied to create virtual data centers spanning multiple sites  New uses in network service provider networks, mobile networks, sensor networks, HPC networks
