34. BOOK OF THE
BEGINNING
PAINLESS INTRO TO OPENSTACK

35. OPENSTACK
“OpenStack is a free and open-source cloud
computing software platform. Users
primarily deploy it as an infrastructure as a
service (IaaS) solution. The technology
consists of a series of interrelated projects
that control pools of processing, storage,
and networking resources throughout a
data center—which users manage through
a web-based dashboard, command-line
tools, or a RESTful API.”

36. RIGHT, BUT AGAIN, WHAT IS
OPENSTACK?

37. Is not a software package, it’s a kit, a distribution

38. Becoming an ecosystem

39. You can define what components you want to use

40. ... and how you will configure them

41. WHY OPENSTACK?

42. Free, Open Source

43. A very active community with 6-month release cycle

44. Major companies contribute, shape and improve

45. Contributor-controlled, nobody “owns” the project

46. It works :)

47. OPENSTACK CORE COMPONENTS

48. OPENSTACK COMPONENTS

49. Telemetry
Orchestration (between cloud instances)
IAAS MANAGEABILITY ADD-ONS

50. Load Balancer as a Service (part of Neutron)
Trove - Database as a Service
Sahara - Data-intensive apps (Hadoop or Spark)
Zaqar - multi-tenant messaging service
INTEGRATED PAAS FEATURES

51. MINIMAL DEPLOYMENT

55. HIGHLY AVAILABLE

56. IS IT PRODUCTION
READY?

57. CERN
“The cloud infrastructure has now more
than 50000 cores and after the next
hardware delivers expected during the next
months, more than 35000 new cores will be
added most of them in the remote
Computer Centre in Hungary. Also, we
continue to migrate existing servers to
OpenStack compute nodes at an average of
100 servers per week.” -- March 2014

58. WALMART
“...@WalmartLabs is now running in excess
of 100,000 cores of OpenStack on its
compute layer. And that’s growing by the
day ... the technology that ran parent
company Walmart’s prodigious Cyber
Monday and holiday season sales
operations. If that’s not production, I’m not
sure what is.” -- Feb 2015

60. INSTALL OPENSTACK

61. IT’S COMPLICATED. TRY THE MANUAL INSTALL GUIDE :)

62. AND YOU’LL WANT TO DO IT MORE THAN ONCE
Development/Pre-Production/Production

63. REPRODUCIBILITY
Able to replicate issues from production in test
Requires environment alignment

64. SO, AUTOMATING THE PROCESS BECOMES CRITICAL

65. VERSION MANAGE THE CONFIGURATION/ORCHESTRATION

66. AUTOMATE, YOU SAY?

67. SCRIPT IT?
devstack

68. MANAGE IT AS A CONFIGURATION
Puppet, Chef, Saltstack, Ansible

69. MODULES AVAILABLE FOR CONFIGURING THE OPENSTACK
COMPONENTS

70. BUT
VARIABLES FOR YOUR DEPLOYMENT
ORCHESTRATION IS STILL REQUIRED

71. THE GOOD NEWS?

72. THERE ARE LOTS OF TOOLS OUT
THERE TO HELP YOU

73. THE BAD NEWS?

74. THERE ARE LOTS OF TOOLS OUT
THERE TO HELP YOU

75. ORCHESTRATION FOR OPENSTACK
INSTALL

76. MIRANTIS FUEL

77. RDO PACKSTACK

78. RACKSPACE PRIVATE CLOUD INSTALLER

79. Fuel and Packstack utilise Puppetlabs modules for
OpenStack
Puppet modules configure components
Fuel/RDO-Packstack provide user input and orchestration

80. WHATS OUR VIEW?

81. INSTALL OPENSTACK
WITH PACKSTACK

82. OPENSTACK ON ONE MACHINE

83. You deploy the components in just one machine

84. Usually a good idea for starters

85. Manual installation is lengthy and prone to error

86. Devstack / Packstack are good options

87. If you want to expand it, you can add other nodes later on

88. WE’LL USE PACKSTACK
“Packstack is a utility that uses Puppet
modules to deploy various parts of
OpenStack on multiple pre-installed servers
over SSH automatically. Currently only
Fedora , Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
and compatible derivatives of both are
supported.”

90. BOOK OF THE MIDDLE
DEPLOYING A WORKLOAD TO
OPENSTACK

91. IF THERE’S SOMETHING WORTH
REMEMBERING TODAY, THAT
WOULD BE...

92. SERVICE ARCHITECTURE
PETS TO CATTLE

93. PETS
THEY ARE UNIQUE, LOVINGLY HAND RAISED AND CARED
FOR
WHEN THEY GET ILL, YOU NURSE THEM BACK TO HEALTH

94. CATTLE
THEY ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL TO OTHER CATTLE
WHEN THEY GET ILL, YOU GET ANOTHER ONE

95. EVERYONE COMFORTABLE WITH
CATTLE CONCEPT?

96. DEPLOY AUTOSCALING APPS WITH
HEAT

97. ORCHESTRATION WITH HEAT

98. BASIC UNITS

99. A SIMPLE TEMPLATE
