Bridging The Gap: Explaining OpenStack To VMware Administrators
The document discusses the differences between OpenStack and VMware, emphasizing concepts of cloud principles, architecture comparison, and the benefits of using VMware technologies alongside OpenStack. It highlights the importance of treating cloud resources as disposable 'cattle' rather than cherished 'pets' and encourages automation and scaling out. Additionally, it addresses the challenges of adopting OpenStack, including the inevitability of chaos and the need for a cooperative approach between VMware and OpenStack.

- 40. 40 VMware is aCompany NOT a Product • VMware sells multiple technologies and products – vSphere – vCloud – End-user Computing • VMware is in co-opetition with OpenStack – Cooperation • vSphere with Nova • Nicira with Neutron • VSAN with Cinder – Competition • ESXi vs. KVM • vCloud Suite • vCloud Hybrid Service (vCHS)
- 41. 41 OpenStack Is NOTa Hypervisor • OpenStack Nova is a manager of hypervisors • OpenStack can manage multiple hypervisors – https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/HypervisorSupportMatrix
- 42. 42 So Why UseVMware with OpenStack? • Customers have sunk investments in vSphere • Customers have legacy workloads that may not be suitable for KVM with libvirt • Customers can leverage VMware Technologies • vSphere can provide an on-ramp to a true Cloud

Editor's Notes
- #14 A Cloud Computing platform sits above the virtual data center and provides both a control plane over and resource access to the virtualized data center. OpenStack, as a Cloud Computing platform, manages virtualized resources, such as virtual machines exported by a hypervisor, network overlays created by Software-Defined Network devices, and volumes exported by virtual storage arrays. OpenStack takes these data center resources and automates and orchestrates them so they can be accessed on demand and be scaled up and down as needed, turning these resources into consumable services.
- #16 The OpenStack platform is actually composed of multiple components, called projects. Each project is managed by a technical committee and the OpenStack Foundation decides which projects are ready to be included in the OpenStack core. These projects work together to provide the services required to deliver the Cloud. Nova – The compute project responsible for on-demand creation and termination of compute instances. Nova leverage a number of hypervisors, including KVM, Xen, Hyper-V, and vSphere. Glance – The OS image management project responsible for storage and management of images used to create compute instances with OSes installed, such as Windows and Linux. Quantum – The network project that provides network access and security services to compute instances. Quantum uses plugins to leverage virtual switches and SDN-enabled devices. Swift – The object storage project that provides a scalable repository for storing large quantities of objects such as files and media content. It can also be used as an repository for Glance images. Cinder – The block storage project that provides a virtual storage array that can export out iSCSI volumes. A Cinder/virtual storage array server can be a server with local storage or a server using an external storage array. Horizon – The interactive dashboard project that provides users and admins provisioning and management access to the OpenStack Cloud via a web GUI. Keystone – The identity management project that provides authorization and access security control for all the other OpenStack projects. New projects are being added with each release and as the OpenStack community calls for them. New projects underway include metering, application orchestration, and database-as-a-service.
