OpenNebula Conf 2014: Expanding OpenNebula´s support for Cloud Bursting - Emm...
The platform currently runs several solutions for Earth Sciences Researchers: Developer Cloud Sandboxes for scalable scientific processors integration, Virtual Archives federating distributed data repositories, Data Challenges for Earth Observation contests, and Digital Marketplaces for reproducible scientific experiments.
OpenNebula is also powering our Cloud development environment, that has been enhanced during the past year. Terradue’s Cloud development environment is both our laboratory to test the latest developments from OpenNebula, especially for the integration of our own OpenNebula extensions, and our Engineering team facility to provision servers supporting project-based software developments. OpenNebula provides the virtualization and management of hardware clusters, that we rent from commercial ‘bare-metal’ providers.
We have recently further developed several specific drivers for Multi-Cloud bursting, in order to provision virtual machines over public commercial clouds.
When their processor integration and validation phase concludes, our researcher users can seamlessly burst their applications at scale, leveraging OpenNebula drivers for on-demand processing tasks.
OpenNebula Conf: 2014 | Lightning talk: Managing Docker Containers with OpenN...
The document discusses managing Docker containers with OpenNebula. OpenNebula can orchestrate both virtual machines and Docker containers on the same host. Docker containers offer lightweight virtualization and fast provisioning. The document proposes integrating Docker containers into OpenNebula's infrastructure for tasks like networking, storage, monitoring and lifecycle management of containers.
OpenNebulaConf2017EU: FairShare Scheduling by Valentina Zaccolo, INDIGO
This document describes FairShare Scheduling (FaSS) for OpenNebula, a scheduling service that assigns task priorities based on initial weights, historical resource usage, and other factors. It operates as an asynchronous module that reorders the task queue and can kill pending or running VMs. The architecture includes FaSS, an XML-RPC interface, a queue module, and an InfluxDB database to store scheduling data. A performance test showed FaSS enforcing share limits, stopping instantiation of one user when it reached its configured share and resuming instantiation of all users.
OpenNebula Conf 2014 | State and future of OpenNebula - Ignacio Llorente

OpenNebulaConf2017EU: Transforming an Old Supercomputer into a Cloud Platform...
Currently, typical supercomputers have an expected useful life of 3 or 4 years. One way of another, after this time period, infrastructure is typically replaced or upgraded to face the increasing resource demand by users and companies. This always gives rise to the same question, namely, what should be done with the old hardware if it was replaced? Possible solutions come in the form of decommissioning, splitting up and using it for spare parts, or donating it, but in several cases, the hardware can still provide value when used for different tasks. In this talk we will describe how we have converted the old Tier1 Flemish supercomputer https://www.ugent.be/hpc/en/infrastructure/tier1 into a cloud platform using OpenNebula. During this conversion process, we faced several technical challenges. The first and foremost of these was how to recycle hardware that was designed for use in a classical HPC environment to use in a private cloud. We will describe which steps were taken to address isolating VM traffic through the existing InfiniBand interconnect using the VXLAN network technology. We will also address how we managed mapping our internal (university) and external (industry) users using the OpenNebula “remote” authentication plugin. Finally, we will discuss how we used the InfiniBand interconnect to share the Ceph storage backend and VM traffic in a secure manner. After a testbed phase, in which only pilot users are given access and provide feedback, the new UGent HPC Cloud platform called “Grimer” will be available in production.

OpenStack Journey in Tieto Elastic Cloud
This document summarizes Tieto's journey with OpenStack, beginning with initial proof of concept deployments using installer-based distributions like PackStack and Fuel. Tieto found these distributions difficult to maintain and customize. They later implemented tcp cloud using Mirantis OpenStack and OpenContrail, which provided better automation and configuration management. While this worked well initially, managing over 30 management VMs became challenging. Tieto is now moving to Mirantis Cloud Platform, which runs OpenStack services on Kubernetes for improved flexibility, lifecycle management, and reduced management overhead.
rOCCI – Providing Interoperability through OCCI 1.1 Support for OpenNebula
OCCI (Open Cloud Computing Interface ) [1] is an open protocol for management tasks in the cloud environment focused on integration, portability and interoperability with a high degree of extensibility. It is designed to bridge differences between various cloud platforms (or cloud middleware) and provide common ground for users and developers alike.
The rOCCI framework [2], originally developed by GWDG [3], was written to simplify the implementation of the OCCI 1.1 protocol in Ruby and later provided the base for a working client and server implementation targeting OpenNebula as its primary back-end cloud platform. The initial server-side implementation provided basic functionality and served as a proof of concept when it was adopted by the EGI Federated Cloud Task Force [4] and chosen to act as the designated VM management interface. This led to further funding from EGI-InSPIRE [5] and involvement of CESNET [6].
This talk aims to provide basic information about the OCCI protocol, introduce its implementation in rOCCI, describe and/or demonstrate some of the functionality provided by rOCCI client and rOCCI-server in concert with OpenNebula. It also briefly examines its use in the EGI FedCloud environment and explores the possibility of further integration with
OpenNebula as a part of the ON ecosystem or even as an integral part of OpenNebula itself in the future. All this with interoperability in mind.

OpenNebulaConf 2013 - rOCCI – Providing Interoperability through OCCI 1.1 Sup...
OCCI (Open Cloud Computing Interface ) [1] is an open protocol for management tasks in the cloud environment focused on integration, portability and interoperability with a high degree of extensibility. It is designed to bridge differences between various cloud platforms (or cloud middleware) and provide common ground for users and developers alike.
The rOCCI framework [2], originally developed by GWDG [3], was written to simplify the implementation of the OCCI 1.1 protocol in Ruby and later provided the base for a working client and server implementation targeting OpenNebula as its primary back-end cloud platform. The initial server-side implementation provided basic functionality and served as a proof of concept when it was adopted by the EGI Federated Cloud Task Force [4] and chosen to act as the designated VM management interface. This led to further funding from EGI-InSPIRE [5] and involvement of CESNET [6].
This talk aims to provide basic information about the OCCI protocol, introduce its implementation in rOCCI, describe and/or demonstrate some of the functionality provided by rOCCI client and rOCCI-server in concert with OpenNebula. It also briefly examines its use in the EGI FedCloud environment and explores the possibility of further integration with
OpenNebula as a part of the ON ecosystem or even as an integral part of OpenNebula itself in the future. All this with interoperability in mind.

OCCI - The Open Cloud Computing Interface – flexible, portable, interoperable...
The Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) specification set defines a general protocol and API applicable to many different cloud resource management tasks.
OCCI began as a remote management API for IaaS model based Services, allowing for the development of interoperable tools for common tasks including deployment, autonomic scaling and monitoring. It has since evolved into a general-purpose flexible RESTful API framework with a strong focus on integration, portability, interoperability and innovation while still remaining highly extensible.
OCCI is suitable to serve many other models in addition to IaaS, including e.g. PaaS and SaaS. The current release (v1.1) of OCCI has achieved a high degree of adoption and implementation in production in a wide variety of languages, projects, software products and application areas.
The OCCI working group is in the process of developing an update of the OCCI specifications as version 1.2 with improvements that result from nearly four years of successful field experience. This version will be backwards compatible with v1.1 and will include:
- A new JSON rendering to accompany updates to the existing HTTP and text renderings.
- Minor updates of current OCCI core infrastructure model and specification.
- New extensions that will include PaaS support, notifications support and SLA support.
?In addition, the OCCI group is considering best methods for support of additional features, including monitoring, key management and security, interdomain networking and direct interface support for popular batch systems through the Distributed Resource Management Application API (DRMAA) standard.

Accelerating TensorFlow with RDMA for high-performance deep learning
Google’s TensorFlow is one of the most popular deep learning (DL) frameworks. In distributed TensorFlow, gradient updates are a critical step governing the total model training time. These updates incur a massive volume of data transfer over the network.
In this talk, we first present a thorough analysis of the communication patterns in distributed TensorFlow. Then we propose a unified way of achieving high performance through enhancing the gRPC runtime with Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) technology on InfiniBand and RoCE. Through our proposed RDMA-gRPC design, TensorFlow only needs to run over the gRPC channel and gets the optimal performance. Our design includes advanced features such as message pipelining, message coalescing, zero-copy transmission, etc. The performance evaluations show that our proposed design can significantly speed up gRPC throughput by up to 1.5x compared to the default gRPC design. By integrating our RDMA-gRPC with TensorFlow, we are able to achieve up to 35% performance improvement for TensorFlow training with CNN models.

We've made our way into the world of open cloud — where each organization can find the right cloud for its unique needs. A single cloud management platform cannot be all things to all people. There will be a cloud space with several offerings focused on different environments and/or industries. The OpenNebula commitment to the open cloud is at the very base of its mission — to become the simplest cloud enabling platform — and its purpose — to bring simplicity to the private and hybrid enterprise cloud. OpenNebula exists to help companies build simple, cost-effective, reliable, open enterprise clouds on existing IT infrastructure. The OpenNebula Conference will be a great opportunity to communicate and share our vision and commitment, to look back at how the project has grown in the last 9 years, and to shed some insight into what to expect from the project in the near future.
OpenNebulaConf2019 - Building Virtual Environments for Security Analyses of C...
Computer networks are undergoing a phenomenal growth, driven by the rapidly increasing number of nodes constituting the networks. At the same time, the number of security threats on Internet and intranet networks is constantly increasing, and the testing and experimentation of cyber defense solutions require the availability of separate, test environments that best reflect the complexity of a real system. Such environments support the deployment and monitoring of complex mission-driven network scenarios, and cyber security training activities, thus enabling enterprises to study cyber defense strategies and allowing security researchers to evaluate their algorithms at scale.
The main objective is delivering to researchers and practitioners an overview of the technological means and the practical steps to setup a private cloud platform based on OpenNebula for the creation and management of virtual environments that support cyber-security activities of training and testing, as well as an overview of its possible applications in the cyber security domain.
In particular:
1. We describe our infrastructure based on OpenNebula
2. We overview our application, sitting on top of OpenNebula, as well as the technological tools involved in the management of its lifecycle (e.g., Ansible)
.
3. We show how the platform can support various examples of security research activities
