Hands-on Lab: Test Drive Your OpenStack NetworkPLUMgrid
Neutron is deployed in the majority of OpenStack clouds but it still constitutes one of the key areas of concerns for organizations world-wide. The transition from traditional hardware-centric networking to the software defined model takes time and learning and requires a mental shift as well as a change in workflows, procedures, tools and best-practices. In this session each participant will be provided with a personal sandbox OpenStack running a live Liberty-based environment and will work on common use cases and applications of SDNs in an OpenStack Cloud. The class will focus on test cases that will move beyond the basics of L2 and L3 and deploy VNFs such as NAT and security policies on top of a 3-tier application topology. The class will also go through exercises that are focused on monitoring and troubleshooting SDNs in an OpenStack cloud.

Networking For Nested Containers: Magnum, Kuryr, Neutron IntegrationFawad Khaliq
In the OpenStack ecosystem, containers were introduced as first class citizens recently with the project Magnum and the networking for containers has also evolved since then. Project Kuryr makes networking available to containers through Neutron. This all brings together how Neutron networking benefits containers like it does virtual machines. However, to make Neutron, Kuryr and Magnum cover all the use cases for containers, nested containers inside Nova VMs require networking to work as seamlessly as it works for virtual machines or bare metal containers. In this session, we will talk about Magnum, Kuryr, Neutron integration and how the problem of nested container networking has been solved in the OpenStack community, it's architecture, the design, current status and next steps.

You Can Build Your OpenStack and Consume it TooPLUMgrid
The power of the community is what makes open source initiatives extremely transformational—like OpenStack. On the other hand, enterprise users who are looking at adopting this solution need to go through a steep learning curve and deep transformation of their internal team structure. The power of OpenStack is actually greatly amplified by the ecosystem of vendors around it that look at important aspects like support and hardening as well as augmentation of specific aspects (e.g. scalability and performance) that are needed in production environments bringing the most value to users. Join Rackspace and PLUMgrid product specialists to learn how we jointly enable our Private Cloud enterprise users to consume OpenStack and Software Defined Networks (SDN) as ONE solution that brings comprehensive security, scalability and performance and a rich set of operational tools.
This presentation focuses on a set of problems that MidoNet intends to solve. For each problem, we describe the problem and explain today's capabilities as well as future improvements.

Software Defined Networking (SDN) with VMware NSXZivaro Inc
Combining SDN with VMware’s NSX can accelerate application deployment and delivery in a secure and virtualized network. No longer will your network create a bottleneck when trying to administer new applications. Key topics include:
- How SDN allows for innovative ways to use a virtualized network
- Why SDN creates greater span of control, network analytics and response
- What intelligence can be gained from a global view of the network
- How SDN and NSX together allow IT to treat their physical network as a pool of transport capacity that can be consumed and repurposed on demand

We have all heard about the Cloud and, in general, we understand its advantages and disadvantages. But what really happens behind the curtains?
More recently, the concept of Software-Defined Networks (SDN) began to interlace with the Cloud, especially on its IaaS strand (Infrastructure as a Service), for providing computer networks as a service, either as an end in itself or as a means for supplying other resources to be consumed (e.g. virtual machines or network functions).
Especially, but not exclusively, in the telecommunications operators sector, another concept emerged: Network Functions Virtualization (NFV).
NFV allows the use of Cloud, SDN and modern virtualization technologies in order to execute and manage services and network functions in standard servers, increasing homogeneity in data centers and reducing maintenance and operational costs.
At the end of this presentation, the audience will get to know the basics of these three concepts and some examples from the real world. They will know about the the present and a possible future.
Monitoring Security Policies for Container and OpenStack CloudsPLUMgrid
Container and OpenStack clouds often co-exist in data centers. Monitoring both environments require views into the underlay and overlay infrastructure, but infrastructure monitoring alone is no longer sufficient and needs to be paired with security policy views as containers and microservices are constantly reshaping data center traffic and flow patterns. A visualization GUI that correlates containers and VMs with security policy views provide a powerful tool for any operations team to detect security flow violations in real-time. Enterprises and cloud providers are adopting visualization and monitoring platforms in addition to OpenStack Horizon to keep their infrastructure running with 100% uptime. New tools that help with proactive remediation of issues are being deployed to quickly bring back the system to healthy conditions.

Midokura OpenStack Day Korea Talk: MidoNet Open Source Network Virtualization...Dan Mihai Dumitriu
OpenStack deployments for public or private clouds require overlay networking. Due to the scale and rate of change of virtual resources, it isn't practical to rely on traditional network constructs and isolation mechanims. Today's deployments require performance, resilience, and high availability to be considered truly production-ready. In this session, we deep dive into the MidoNet architecture, and process of sending a data packet across an OpenStack environment through a network overlay. A distributed architecture implements logical constructs that are used to build networks without a single point of failure, all while adding network functionality in a highly-scalable manner. Network functions are applied in a single virtual hop. By applying network services right at the ingress host, the network is free from unnecessary clogging and bottlenecks by avoiding additional hops. Packets reach their destination more efficiently with the single virtual hop. After this session, the audience will understand how distributed architectures allow efficient networking with routing decisions and network services applied at the edge. Also, the audience will understand how it is easier to scale clouds when the network intelligence is distributed.
Designed for IT professionals looking to expand their OpenStack Networking knowledge, “Navigating OpenStack Networking” is a comprehensive and fast-paced session which provides an overview of OpenStack Networking, its history, its predecessor (Nova Networks), its components and then dives deep into the architecture, its features and plugin model and its role in building an OpenStack Cloud.
Lisa Caywood and Colin Dixon's presentation at the 2017 Open Networking Summit.
OpenDaylight has become a nexus for open source integration, creating a new open networking stack and enabling a new generation of open source, agile IT infrastructure. The fifth “Boron” release provides new tooling and documentation to support application developers, as well as greater integration with industry frameworks from OPNFV and OpenStack to CORD and Atrium. Boron also brings a practical focus on two leading types of deployments: (1) direct control of virtual switches to provide network virtualization and NFV and (2) management and orchestration of existing networks to provide new features and automation. This talk will cover trends in open SDN and cloud networking, with a focus on Boron milestones. In particular, it dives into the architecture across OpenStack and OpenDaylight to enable OpenStack service function chaining support in OpenDaylight.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Challenges with OVS Plugin
9
Neutron Network Node is a SPOF
Need to use corosync, etc for active/standby failover.
Challenging at Scale
Since there’s a single network node, this becomes a bottleneck
fairly quickly.
Inefficient Networking
IPTables, L3 Agent, multiple hops for single flow are causing
unnecessary traffic and added latency on your physical network

• Static routes suck
• Provides HA out of the box
• Inbound distributed NAT, routing, L4LB,
and Firewalls
• Can provide VPC like multi-tenant BGP
capabilities
