The document discusses OpenStack, a cloud computing platform that provides a management layer for efficient resource allocation in public and private clouds. It outlines key features, including its open-source nature, extensive community involvement, and various services and APIs that enhance flexibility and deployment speed. Additionally, it introduces Kolla for containerized deployment, along with resources and a tutorial for running OpenStack on a local machine.

Agenda

3. What is OpenStack?

4. Overview
• Cloud computing platform for
public/private clouds
• Abstracts data centers into
pools of resources
• Provides management layer
for efficient, automated
allocation of resources
• Empowers operators, admins,
users via self service portals
• Provides APIs to develop
cloud-aware applications

5. The OpenStack Community
• Over 25,000 developers
• Over 500 companies
• Over 20 million lines of code
• Designed and developed in an
open collaborative fashion
• Releases every six months
• Most recent “Mitaka” release:
• 2,300 developers contributed
• 345 companies involved
• 34,000 merged patch sets

6. OpenStack Adoption Drivers
• APIs, APIs, APIs
• Speed
• Flexibility
• Cost
• Programmatic workflows
• Open and broadly interoperable

9. Containerized Deployment
Using Kolla

10. Why Containers? Tech Used - Kolla
• Simplify a large complex
distributed system
• Increase flexibility through
modularity
• Speed of deployment
• Simplified management and
troubleshooting
• Production-ready containers
and deployment tools to
operate OpenStack clouds
• Toolchain to build Docker
containers of OpenStack
components in a local
Docker registry
• Ansible orchestration to
deploy containers, validate
deployment, and manage
system after deployment

11. Kolla Workflow

12. Learning Lab Demo:
Running OpenStack On
Your Laptop

13. • Available for download from the Cisco DevNet Learning Labs
• Runs a VirtualBox Linux VM
• Inside that Linux VM, runs OpenStack deployed using containers
• Can customize and redeploy if interested in developing OpenStack
• Provides a local OpenStack cloud you can interact with as a
developer / operator
Containerized VM Deployment

14. Prep VirtualBox Get OpenStack
• Download VirtualBox
• Download VirtualBox
extensions
• Configure initial networks in
VirtualBox
• Download OpenStack OVA
• Import into VirtualBox
• Validate network
configurations
• Boot the VM
