9. Infrastructure Stack : Networking Today (OpenStack)
§ (Nova-Net)
§ Original OpenStack Networking Code
§ Part of Nova (compute service)
§ VLANs for tenant isolation
§ Tenant private subnets cannot overlap
§ No advanced services (LBaaS, FWaaS, etc..)
§ Used by nearly all production OpenStack
deployments today.
§ Most customers and partners are moving towards
adopting neutron in the future.
§ (Neutron)
§ New Networking Code, independent project
§ Pluggable isolation methods (VLAN, VXLAN,
controller)
§ Totally independent tenant networks
§ LBaaS/FWaaS plugins
§ Maturity
§ Until Juno (Oct 2014), all Public/Private NAT
on dedicated server
• Single point of failure!
• Scalability bottleneck
§ Very little production use without a
proprietary overlay controller

10. Why Mirantis & Cumulus Networks : Use Cases
§ Underlay IP Ethernet Fabric for Networking
§ ToR Switches with either L2/L3 to the host
§ Cumulus Linux with SDN Controller (Network Virtualization
Overlay) with VXLAN support
§ VMware NSX
§ Midokura
§ Open Contrail
