Editor's Notes
- Intro Horizon in Action Overview of how Horizon works with other services in OpenStack Horizon architecture Horizon UI structure, features Interesting design patterns (work through an example) Pluggable settings Customization Advanced features How to contribute
- At metacloud we provide Openstack as a Service by creating and maintaining private openstack clouds on our customers premises.
- Public cloud experience Public cloud feel Self service Well documented and supported OpenStack and AWS APIs Instant provisioning of resources Application focus for administrators manage, govern, users groups and projects Full control of flavors, images and volumes Security policies and authentication Host aggregation settings Your users feel like they’re using a public cloud, and your administrators have complete control over users, projects, quotas, flavor sizes, virtual machine images, storage, network and more. Real time visibility gives you access to see what’s happening behind the scenes on your machines, while we deliver the OpenStack engineering and operations as a service.
- Our team becoms an extension of our customers’ team. We do all the engineering, set up, and ongoing operations for your OpenStack private cloud, so that our customers can focus on building and running your applications. After the initial delivery, we provide on going engineering and operations, upgrades, and patches, without our customers having to do anything. Metacloud OpenStack® is that platform, delivered in a SaaS model where we provide ongoing private cloud engineering and operations so our customers can focus on their applications. Full time 24x7 remote operations, monitoring and alerting from metacloud

- Our customers also wanted to see more historical data. We instrumented all of our nodes and push data into Graphite Very high performance and flexiblie time series tool Evolution of RRD Tool Graphite provides data over RESTful API, so we just pull that data and use it to populate these charts.. Easy access for the user (simply click on controller or hypervisor row and chart will drop down) Data from 1 hour range to 1 year range.. If you’re seeing isusued. Slow response time on Use cases…
