OpenStack: Everything You Need To Know to Get Started (ATO2014)Mark Voelker
Slides for my talk at All Things Open 2014
OpenStack is widely recognized as a leading open source cloud computing platform and has attracted plenty of attention from developers, end users, IT companies, and media. As OpenStack continue to gain adoption, the audience of potential users continues to expand. Whether you’re building a public cloud service or private clouds for e-commerce, video/collaboration apps, sceintific research, NFV, or are simply looking for a more elastic model of infrastructure, OpenStack is an option to consider. This talk will serve as an extensive introduction for newcomers to OpenStack. We’ll discuss both the software itself and the makeup of the community of developers and users around it. We’ll learn how to contribute to OpenStack, who’s using it today, different deployment scenarios and use cases, and provide both online and local resources for learning more. We’ll also provide an introduction to incubated components, underpinning pieces, and pointers to installers and service providers who can help you get started.
OpenStack + VMware: Deploy, Upgrade, & Operate a Powerful Production OpenStac...Mark Voelker
In this sponsored session from the OpenStack Summit in Barcelona (October 2016), we discuss VMware Integrated OpenStack (VIO). We explain what VIO is and describe it's underpinning components, as well as how it solves real-world problems such as: how to make administering an OpenStack cloud easier, fast deployments and reliable, zero-workload-downtime upgrades, architectural decoupling of the control and data planes, and solving the "empty cloud" problem.
In this talk from the OpenStack Summit in Barcelona (October 2016), we explain the appetite for skipping OpenStack upstream releases in production deployments, talk about when skipping releases might or might not be right for your cloud deployment, and demonstrate how we successfully upgraded OpenStack clouds from IceHouse to Kilo (skipping Juno) and Kilo to Mitaka (skipping Liberty).
OpenStack: Toward a More Resilient CloudMark Voelker
Since it's inception over four years ago, OpenStack has become the most popular open source software for building many types of clouds in part due to the flexibility it provides. As more adoption increases, interest has increased in building OpenStack clouds on a highly available control plane infrastructure. In this talk we will provide an introduction to today's OpenStack community and software, then dive deeper into how to build more highly available, scalable OpenStack architectures. - See more at: http://www.percona.com/news-and-events/percona-university-smart-data-raleigh/openstack-toward-more-resilient-cloud#sthash.wicdUMdH.dpuf

Who Needs Network Management in a Cloud Native Environment?Eshed Gal-Or
(This talk was presented in OSS NA 2017 Los Angeles )
Network management (and virtual network in particular) is hard.
Cloud app developers find themselves dealing with too many options and too many settings, which make no sense.
This is because Cloud APIs evolved from legacy IT management.
Cloud-Native apps are revolutionizing how software is developed and deployed.
Why do app developers need to deal with those legacy network knobs and gauges?
Why do we even need to care about IP addresses, routers, or load balancers, in a cloud-native world?
In this presentation, we will explore some alternative approach and how we could go about implementing it *today* with K8S and Dragonflow (an open source virtual network management project), to provide a more stable, better performing and truly scalable cloud-native infrastructure.

(SCALE 12x) OpenStack vs. VMware - A System Administrator PerspectiveStackStorm
By Dmitri Zimine, CTO of StackStorm (www.stackstorm.com)
SCALE 12x Conference
February 22, 2014
Los Angeles, CA
VMware has achieved broad usage, with some studies indicating that 80% or more of enterprises now use some VMware products. OpenStack, on the other hand, has quickly become the most important OpenSource community since Linux itself.
What’s it like to use OpenStack for virtualization and private cloud? And how does that compare to VMware’s solutions?
Considerations for Operating An OpenStack CloudMark Voelker
My talk from All Things Open 2014
Over the past four years, OpenStack has become a widely adopted cloud operating system. Cloud computing has made many tasks like creating new servers and networks easy for end users by creating abstractions above the infrastructure. However, cloud operators need to maintain not only the cloud operating system itself, but all of the underpinning systems beneath it. The challenges of managing a set of distributed systems isn’t small, but with proper tooling is well within reach. This talk will discuss considerations for cloud operators such as logging, storage, monitoring, high availability, configuration management with a focus on OpenStack clouds with a focus on open source solutions for common issues encountered when operating an OpenStack cloud. We’ll consider data gathered from the community and discuss “day 1″ and “day 2″ concerns as well as established patterns and technology choices among OpenStack deployers today.
There is a growing trend today of enterprises leveraging both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and on-premise OpenStack-based private clouds. However, the default networking option in OpenStack remains broken and the plethora of confusing plug-ins makes networking in OpenStack mysterious and difficult to manage.
Enter MidoNet, the open source network virtualization solution from Midokura favored by DevOps cultures in web scale enterprises and service providers around the world. This session will present case studies from several end user deployments, showing how they use MidoNet to build, run and manage large-scale virtual networks in OpenStack clouds. The session will also discuss how transitioning from a public to private cloud enables organizations to accomplish much more with the same resources, without over-simplifying the inherent complexity of running an OpenStack cloud.
Comparing open source private cloud platformsOSCON Byrum
Private cloud computing has become an integral part of global business. While each platform provides a way for virtual machines to be deployed, implementations vary widely. It can be difficult to determine which features are right for your needs. This session will discuss the top open source private cloud platforms and provide analysis on which one is the best fit for you.

We will report how using the Application Jukebox application virtualization solution at the University of New Hampshire has saved time and simplified management of public and department-specific computer labs and our VDI environment. Traditionally, we used a combination of imaging and then various scripted deployments to install applications. With application virtualization, we have been able to move over a hundred Windows applications into virtual packages that can be "installed" by users on demand. We will discuss the general problem of managing large numbers of complex applications across a range of computer environments while also trying to be flexible and responsive to users.
Outcomes: Understand how application virtualization can overcome issues with deploying software * Appreciate the capabilities of Application Jukebox to be able to assess its utility to your campus * Obtain a model for evaluating a tool's potential savings

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

At the start of cloud computing at the end of the
first decade, Marius Zaharia - currently Cloud
Technical Manager at Cellenza - saw the enormous
potential of this technology, especially that of
Microsoft Azure.
Since then, his focus has been on setting up cloud
architectures and their corporate governance.
Marius has gained both professional developer and
infrastructure engineer experience, which allows him to
have a complementary approach and broad coverage
of project needs.
Passionate about the cloud, he is also an active
contributor to the Azure User Group France
community, organizer of community events and
speaker at local and international conferences.
9. The Story of a Customer
• Our Customer : a strategic actor of the public
transportation sector in France
• Established public company in France for ages
• Large national coverage
• At the root of most of the transportation networks in
France
• Now part of a consolidated group of companies
(thereby called The Group)
10. The Customer’s IT system
• The Customer’s IT system
• Large number of business or technical applications
• Includes many professions, mostly IT professional oriented
• Outsourcing different tasks
• managed services, operations, production, expertize, or
consulting
• Some services of the organization:
• Engineering Operations and Service (EOS)
• Technical Architecture (TA)
• Networking (NE)
• The Innovation Pole (IP)
• Information Security Service (ISS)
• Production Service Center
• Build Delivery Center…
11. The Customer’s Infrastructure
• Owns a number of Data Centers
• Two main regions (Lyon, Lille)
• Customer’s and Group’s
infrastructure networks got
interconnected
• However, various elements of the
infrastructure are different
• Also, there are differences in
governance and procedures
• Very important security concerns
and restrictions
13. The Challenge
• The Customer needs to encourage and
accelerate the pace of innovation via
experiments
• The projects want to move on the IT
infrastructure in a timely matter
• The actual internal (IS) and Group
organization and culture are not « agile »
enough for :
• More and more Innovation coming
• Time to Market and Cost Effective delivery
15. When the Cloud Comes into the Picture
• Looking closely to the advancements of the
main actors in the public Cloud : Microsoft
Azure, Amazon AWS
• It seems that the Cloud may be the gate
• « Let’s try and see how it works and how it
could help us »
• Key factors :
• Onboard the Information Security Service (ISS)
team from the very beginning
• Openness of the CIO
17. Opening Azure
• Azure subscription contracted
• At the Group level
• Used first by ISS team (fall 2016)
• Several basic deployments were made, and a site-to-site
VPN connection was tempted
• The first learnings :
• some projects interconnected with the SI
• others separated/isolated from it
• Then, the advancements and works slowed down
• Also, the VPN was malfunctioning
Note: the Group also
moved on Azure.
An ExpressRoute
connection was setup
at that level.
18. New Challenges
• How to fix the VPN, first ?
• How to organize and classify projects and environments ?
• How to protect our IS while being open to experiment ?
• How to give amplitude to the works in the Cloud ?
19. Moving to a Real Team
• The EOS engaged to initiate a dedicated Azure team
• Team directly attached to the chief of Technical Architecture
• The Azure Team will be the « the armed arm » of the Innovation Pole
• 2 people, Azure experts, with knowledge in infrastructure,
networking, security, and governance
• Not an easy task, but people were found - at
20. The First Real Works
• First thing first: the VPN was fixed
• Dead Peer Detection set at 10s in local Juniper
appliance
• Second thing : « security hole » detected (and solved)
• Force Tunelling setup missing in configuration
• Results:
• The team gains the Customer’s confidence
• The Networking team is also very cooperative
Azure VPN Gateway
21. New Challenge (and solution)
• The Customer envisions moving on in the Cloud
and eventually targeting production workloads
• Blocker : the Group strategy is not yet in phase
with the Customer’s one regarding the Cloud
• The Group warns about production responsability in
the cloud
• Result: agreement on an « experiment oriented »
scope for the Customer’s Cloud works
22. New Challenge (and Solution)
• VNET w/ VPN : all traffic in Azure has now to be
monitored and configured in local appliances
• The actual process of configuring the rules for projects
takes days or weeks
• Solution: a set of 2 Network Virtual Appliances
(Palo Alto) was configured and implemented in
Azure
• Routing, detecting and filtering traffic
• Configuration of the rules directly implemented by the
Azure team jointly with the ISS
23. More and More Steps
• A first draft of governance and management rules is defined
• The team is now ready to receive projects
• First internal communication (limited at this stage)
• First projects coming quickly
• The interest for the team’s services increases rapidly
• The team is reinforced on engineering and project
management sides
• ….

Editor's Notes
The IT department of the Customer encompasses the implementation and operation of a large number of business or technical applications
It includes many professions, mostly IT professional oriented : infrastructure engineers, architects, technicians, and so on
It relies pretty heavily on outsourcing different tasks like managed services, operations, production, expertize, or consulting to external companies (mostly via service and competency centers)
Some services of the internal organization:
Engineering Operations and Service (EOS)
Production Service
Information Security Service (ISS)
Infrastructure Project Management
Owns a number of Data Centers hosting currently the infrastructure the applications
The whole infrastructure is known as The Information System (IS)
As The Customer joined The Group, their infrastructure’s networks got interconnected
Today, a user from the IS is capable to connect to a service within the Group’s infrastructure, and viceversa
However, various elements of the infrastructure (like networking appliances, identity systems, tooling, and so on) are different
Also, there are differences in governance and procedures
For the Customer and for the Group, there are very important security concerns and restrictions (due to their strategic activity)
Looking closely to the advancements of the main actors in the public Cloud : Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS
It seems that the Cloud may be the gate
« Let’s try and see how it works and how it could help us »
Key factor : onboard the Information Security Service (ISS) team from the very beginning
This ensures there will not be [too many] blocking rocks on the road

Requesting an Azure agreement via The Group
An Azure subscription was provisioned
The ISS team was the one using an Azure Subscription (fall 2016)
Several basic deployments were made, and a site-to-site VPN connection was tempted
The first learnings :
some projects need to be interconnected with the SI
others need rather to be separated/isolated from it (risky or unknown stuff running)
Then, the advancements and works slowed down
Also, the VPN was malfunctioning
The EOS engaged to initiate a dedicated Azure team
Team directly attached to the chief of EOS
2 people, Azure experts, with knowledge in infrastructure, networking, security, and governance
Not easy task, but people were found (at Cellenza)
First thing first: the VPN was fixed
Not a big issue, the configuration was mostly good, but missing a « keep alive » option while no traffic (« Dead Peer Detection » set at 10s in local Juniper appliance)
Second thing (during the works for the first): « security hole » detected (and solved)
The « force tunelling » setup was envisioned but missing in configuration
Results:
The team gains the Customer’s confidence
The Networking team is also very cooperative
Enthousiastic of the advancement, the Customer envisions moving on in the Cloud and eventually targetting production workloads
Blocker : the Group strategy is not yet in phase with the Customer’s one regarding the Cloud
The Group warns about production responsability in the cloud
Result: agreement on an « experiment oriented » scope for the Customer’s Cloud works
VNET w/ VPN : Because of the Forced Tunelling, all traffic in Azure has now to be monitored and configured in local appliances (Palo Alto)
The actual process of configuring the rules for projects takes days or weeks
Solution: a set of 2 Network Virtual Appliances (Palo Alto) was configured and implemented in Azure
They now allow the configuration of the rules to be directly implemented by the Azure team jointly with the ISS
