As OpenStack gains mainstream adoption, enterprises are looking for ways to unlock the value that a distributed, orchestrated IT infrastructure provides. Many are starting to introduce value-add platforms on top of OpenStack, in particular Platform as a Service (PaaS) solutions, that promise to turn the staid legacy development processes and methodologies into an agile software factory, abstracting developers from infrastructure so they can focus on what they do best - code awesome applications that bring value to the enterprise and their customers. But where should enterprises start? What are the dependencies and pre-requisites? What technology stack fits the current environment? Do skills need to be upgraded? Does the enterprise first have to transform processes and governance to take full advantage of the powerful combination of PaaS and OpenStack? And where do I start? The presentation will help to answer these and other questions related to developing and executing a PaaS strategy in legacy enterprise environments. Participants will understand: The main dependencies for deploying a successful PaaS Strategy The common pitfalls when deploying PaaS in a legacy environment How enterprises can move towards the creation of a "software factory" The importance of agile The KPIs that need to be tracked The critical success factors required to deploy PaaS in an OpenStack environment The synergies (and barriers) between PaaS platforms and OpenStack.

Creating Your Own Cloud Using OpenStack by Raghvendra V PrabhuRaghavendra Prabhu
Â
OpenStack is an open-source platform used to develop, build and deploy a private cloud IaaS platform. With OpenStack software installed on top of a virtualized environment, it is possible to form a cloud operating system to organise, provision and manage resources. It is even possible for individual users to use a management dashboard and OpenStack API to allocate resources such as storage, network and processing power themselves. Going deeper than merely storing data, it is an alternative for companies or individuals looking to provide a cloud platform as a service with a whole host of features such as lifecycle automation or user self-service, amongst others.
Business success increasingly depends on
the ability to apply new and innovative
business models and supporting IT solutions
more quickly than one's competitors can. In
short, it requires an agile enterprise. Recent
advancements in cloud computing can provide
an enterprise with the essential capabilities it
needs to become an agile enterprise
The cloud has come a long way since it was first introduced as a computing utility, being paid for only when and in the amount it was used.
While the cloud's future is wide open, but with the variety of workload types growing with no end in sight, the hybrid cloud is going to be the dominant option over the next couple of years.
This white paper discusses why open source is going to be a key component of cloud computing as a gateway to innovation.

In todayâs business environment, companies are constantly challenged
by fast-paced, ever-changing market conditions. Companies of all sizes,
in all industries, even capital-intensive and brick-and-mortar businesses,
may find themselves in competition with web-based companies.
Online companies like Amazon, Uber and Airbnb have changed the
way the world does business. To remain relevant and competitive,
enterprises must transform IT with online and mobile applications
that deliver secure, on-demand, self-service capabilities directly to
customers.
They must also enable and empower software developers who, through
their online lens, offer a unique understanding of the business from
the customersâ point of view. For developers to quickly react to the
constantly changing customer demands and market conditions, they
need an IT strategy and infrastructure that is cost-effective, flexible
and agile. OpenStackÂŽ provides an open and flexible framework that
many enterprises use as their underlying technology to drive business
transformation to a software-defined infrastructure and support their
business operations, including software development.
âNotable Fortune 100 enterprises like BMW, Disney, and
Walmart have irrefutably proven that OpenStack is viable

OpenStack provides the platform for rapid development, testing and
deployment of mission-critical and massively scalable applications.
Self-service access to IT resources on-demand offer developers the
freedom to innovate, while automated operations allow more control
and methodical capacity planning. The global OpenStack ecosystem
provides packaging, maintenance and support that enterprises expect
from a business-critical IT environment.
With open APIs and support from virtually all major IT vendors,
OpenStack offers freedom from vendor lock-in and the opportunity to
move workloads among private and public clouds based on business
criteria. And because it is designed and delivered openly, businesses
can contribute requirements and even code to ensure it fits their needs.
â..in trying to find something that would fill that niche of an
elastic, programmatic infrastructure, the choices there arenât
as numerous. Certainly there are public cloud options like
Amazon Web Services, but those donât really fit our needs.
We have a lot of data centers, and a lot of content needs to
stay inside of our network. So within those requirements,
OpenStack was the clear favorite.â
-- Matt Haines, Time Warner Cable2
This booklet is intended to help business executives and project
managers understand the benefits of cloud computing and OpenStack
though real-world use cases and an overview of the technology. It
covers the organizational and cultural impact of the evolution to agile
IT. Lastly, it will offer guidance on how to further evaluate and get
started with OpenStack. â
What is Cloud?
Cloud computing has created a paradigm shift and become influential
in todayâs IT community. Increasingly business organizations are
utilizing cloud as a new platform for many business operations. Cloud
has been described from a number of different perspectives.
The most widely accepted definition is the one given by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), U.S. Department of
Commerce:
âCloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous,
convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool
of configurable computing resources (e.g. networks, servers,
storage, applications and services) that can be rapidly
provisioned and released with minimal management effort
or service provider interaction.â
The cloud model is comprised of five essential characteristics:
on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling,
rapid elasticity, and measured service. It includes three service
models: Software as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Infrastructure
as a Service. And it has four deployment models: Private, Public,
Community, and Hybrid3
.
3. www.openstack.com 76
To understand the differences between traditional and cloud
infrastructures, look at how they differ in design philosophy.
First, consider the traditional infrastructures that were built on
virtualization technologies. These technologies offered consolidation
on a smaller number of larger servers. The solutions worked
well because most servers hosted applications with monolithic
architectures, such as Oracle or MicrosoftÂŽ Exchange. Each instance
of this type of application is still encapsulated in a single virtual
machine and grows by scaling up on a single physical server.
Cloud platforms are designed to support different classes of
applications such as MongoDB and Hadoop, that are architected
to scale horizontally, and are resilient against virtual machines
shutdowns. Resources can be expanded by adding more application
instances and rebalancing workloads across those instances. These
distributed applications are responsible for their own resiliency and
are independent of the underlying infrastructure and advanced
hypervisor features. Although OpenStack is designed for the
scale-out cloud architecture model, it can also be used to support
traditional applications.
Cloud Trends
Cloud computing is quickly evolving with new technology
advancements at lightning speed. Containers, bare-metal and platform
services are constantly changing the cloud landscape. Organizations
bet on these technologies to stay competitive in their relevant industry.
To mitigate technology risks, enterprise IT requires an agile and open
cloud platform like OpenStack that incorporates new technologies, and
is supported by a wide commercial ecosystem.
OpenStackâs global footprint is expanding to industries such as
government/defense, film/media, telecommunications, banking, retail,
travel and transportation. According to an OpenStack user survey4
,
operational efficiency, faster innovation, time-to-market, cost-savings
and open platform are the leading business drivers for OpenStack
adoption. As organizations continue to accelerate their cloud journey,
a hybrid cloud strategy is a preferred choice for enterprise IT5
. The
OpenStack Powered6
interoperability program and federated identity
help organizations create an interoperable hybrid cloud platform.
Virtualization vs. Cloud
4. www.openstack.com 98
What is OpenStack?
OpenStack is a collection of open source software projects that allow
users to develop and manage a cloud infrastructure in a data center.
Rackspace Hosting and NASA jointly launched the OpenStack cloud
software initiative in July 2010 to help organizations offer cloud-
computing services on industry standard hardware. Four months later,
the first official release, code-named Austin, provided cloud compute
and object storage capabilities to support Infrastructure as a Service
(IaaS). The initial projects controlled pools of compute, storage, and
networking resources throughout a datacenter through a dashboard
that gave administrators control and enabled users to instantly
provision resources. The community committed to delivering releases
every six months as the projects evolved.
The OpenStack Foundation was formed in 2012 as an independent
not-for-profit organization to promote the development, distribution
and adoption of the OpenStack cloud software. The Foundation allows
for neutral third-party intellectual property management and shared
resources to level the playing field for all participants.
The OpenStack Foundationâs governance model consists of a board
of directors providing vision and governance, a technical committee
responsible for release management and cross-project needs, and a
user committee that supports user advocacy and feedback. Together
they have managed the phenomenal growth over the projectâs first
five years7
.
The broad OpenStack community operates under three principles.
⢠Open development model: Code reviews and roadmaps are public.
The code for OpenStack is freely available under the Apache
2.0 license.
⢠Open design process: Every six months the development
community holds a design summit to gather requirements and
write specifications for the upcoming release. The summit is open to
the public and attendees include users, operators, developers, and
upstream project personnel.
⢠Open community: OpenStack is dedicated to producing a healthy,
vibrant, and active developer and user community. Most decisions
are made by consensus. All processes are documented, open and
transparent.
5. www.openstack.com 1110
This broad community consists of contributors, including:
⢠Software engineers who contribute to and review code for the
projects that form the OpenStack cloud platform.
⢠Writers who provide product and usage documentation
and translation.
⢠Application Developers who write applications that run on the
OpenStack Cloud Infrastructure.
⢠Operators/Users: People who deploy and operate an OpenStack-
based cloud infrastructure and use the applications that run on the
OpenStack cloud platform.
⢠Community Working Groups: Focused teams that gather user
requirements from particular segments and represent them (e.g.
Enterprise, Telco, etc.) to address a particular functional requirement
set (e.g. Logging, Monitoring, NFV, etc.).
⢠Commercial ecosystem: Cloud vendors and service providers that
provide tools, applications, packaging, services and support that add
value to the base software.
Since 2010, OpenStack has matured beyond the initial deployment and
management of compute, storage, and network resources to encompass
new services8
that enable a robust, scalable, and highly functional cloud-
computing platform. Project leadership is organized through Project
Technical Leads (PTL) who are highly active contributors in their project
communities and are responsible for the architecture, development, and
eventual release of the OpenStack cloud operating services.
OpenStack continues to maintain its six-month release cycle with three
milestones along the way. Each version includes one-year of community
support for back porting critical bug fixes, in addition to support from
OpenStack distribution vendors.
OpenStack has become a global community with more than 25,000
individual members, consisting of developers, corporations, service
providers, researchers, and users/operators across more than 165
countries and over 500 companies. It continues to grow at a rapid pace.9
OpenStack Benefits
The emergence of the software-defined economy is driving the
architectural transformation of the data center. IT organizations
must respond quickly to the demand for new services, while staying
compliant with regulations and protecting business and personal data.
A new software-defined infrastructure is emerging through OpenStack
that orchestrates the deployment and allocation of compute, network,
and storage resources for application needs at a competitive cost.
Speed and agility:
OpenStack accelerates time-to-market by providing business units
a self-service portal to access necessary resources on-demand, and
an API driven platform for developing cloud-aware applications.
Enterprises dramatically reduce provisioning times from weeks
or months to minutes with OpenStack, giving them a significant
competitive advantage.
âOur private cloud [based on OpenStack,] provides us
with the agility, availability, manageability, efficiency
and the foundation for innovation necessary to deliver
the best products and services.â
-- Sri Shivananda, Vice President, Global Platform
and Infrastructure, PayPal10
Optimized resources through interoperability and hybrid cloud:
OpenStack is an open and flexible platform that enables application
portability among private and public clouds, allowing enterprises to
choose the best cloud for their applications and workflows without
vendor lock-in. Products labeled with âOpenStack Poweredâ have
passed stringent API testing to ensure applications written for one
OpenStack powered cloud will run on other OpenStack clouds.
OpenStack software can also be integrated with a variety of key
business systems such as Active Directory and LDAP.11
6. www.openstack.com 1312
Vibrant commercial ecosystem:
OpenStack enjoys the support of major IT vendors, including every
significant LinuxÂŽ distribution, virtualization hypervisor, and public and
hosted private cloud provider, and plug-ins from all major networking
and storage vendors. Any environment an enterprise needs can be
built with strong commercial and community support. OpenStack
is also easily integrated with existing VMware-based virtualized
infrastructures.12
Open source and modular design:
OpenStack consists of a stable core and several complementary projects.
All are designed in the open with published specifications. Hundreds of
users contribute requirements and code back to the projects ensuring
the software meets their needs. OpenStack also allows for specific
customization and provides access to other open source technologies
as opposed to building similar functionality. For example, OpenStack is
building on the work of Docker and Kubernetes.
âAccording to Gartner, the modular architecture of OpenStack
provides extreme flexibility in terms of implementation,
particularly when compared with the fixed-function design
of many monolithic commercial CMPs.â13

What can OpenStack be used for?
OpenStack powers a large number of organizations to serve
different purposes. The following table gives real-life examples
of the most widely deployed use-cases and the benefits.
8. www.openstack.com 1716
Introducing OpenStack into an Organization
There is no single OpenStack implementation strategy. How OpenStack
is implemented depends on the organizationâs specific situation,
management philosophy, objectives, company culture, and employee
resources. OpenStack, however, continues to demonstrate benefits
and ROI.23
Consider Piloting
OpenStack is a collection of open source software projects that allows
enterprises to develop and manage cloud infrastructure in a data center.
As users determine how to introduce OpenStack, they must consider
what sort of initial pilot will provide the best learning for developers and
operations, and how they will track costs and measure success.
One of the most powerful benefits of OpenStack is its ability to
automate infrastructure. Many organizations start with a self-service
environment to provision machines for development and testing.
This allows operations to gain familiarity with a basic OpenStack
cloud, and shortens the turn-around time for developers provisioning
resources. This capability enables agility, faster time-to-market, and
experimentation often resulting in new, valuable applications.
The organization is finding that it is more nimble with
experimental projects. The team was able to put in place the
infrastructure in a few hours for a mobile app that was created
by a small group of developers during a brainstorming session.
The app has now been launched globally and is proving highly
popular with customers and making an impact on
customer loyalty.
-- Director of Infrastructure, Global Enterprise [23]
Other organizations experiment with new greenfield applications,
rather than attempting to migrate existing mission critical applications.
This approach allows the IT team to experience managing an
OpenStack environment while developers learn how to take advantage
of the cloud architecture.
Employee Training
When deploying OpenStack, employee development and training must
be considered. Evaluate skills and develop roles and responsibilities for
the operations team to run and operate the environment. To overcome
a learning curve, the OpenStack community provides invaluable
support and training, including resources on the OpenStack web site.24
âThe [MercadoLibre] team was vigilant in educating their
development team and challenging them to adopt the latest
best practices for building cloud-ready applications. They sent
emails, held brownbag lunches and formal training sessions,
and ensured that the cloud environment was properly
documented.â25
Measuring Costs and Determining Value
To anticipate the cost of implementing an OpenStack cloud,
organizations must factor in the cost of hardware acquisition and
maintenance, operations training and vendor support. Although
OpenStack is open source licensed software, certain software
subscription or professional support fees may be necessary if the
organization is acquiring vendor-specific solutions. There are many
examples to help estimate costs. Forrester Consulting offers a view
of factors from a large global enterprise with an OpenStack-based
e-commerce solution26
. A global top-10 automaker offers their cost
comparison between an OpenStack big data/analytics solution and a
traditional legacy appliance27
. Enterprises continue to present at the
OpenStack Summits about building their business cases28
.

The shift to cloud computing is similar to the transition to client-server
computing and web-based clients in many ways â challenging but
providing tremendous value.
Also assign value to the intangible benefits, such as improvements in
operational efficiency and user productivity. For example, the ability to
automate routine administrative tasks enables organizations to re-focus
operational staff to more value-added activities. The on-demand self-
service model reduces demand on helpdesk support and allows users to
obtain what they need faster. The ability to provide a quick and easy-
to-setup proof of concept environment enables a culture of innovation
and software development agility. By improving software development
lifecycle times, organizations can bring products to market faster.
There is a direct correlation between concepts like developer
productivity and operational efficiency to time-to-market. Previously
bogged down processes trapped in endless approvals can be unleashed
by post-OpenStack workflows that provide cleaner handoffs between
teams and accountability without redundancy and expensive rework.
Culture and Organizational Changes
One of the greatest challenges to deploying an OpenStack cloud
involves organizational and cultural changes in IT and the business. To
facilitate a change in the company culture, senior leadership will need
to challenge the existing status quo and revise existing policies and
procedures. To properly align resources, many organizations begin
with a cross-functional team to make initial deployment decisions and
determine the optimal architecture. This team can expand slowly as the
enterprise gains experience and rolls out the new cloud to more internal
organizations. The experienced members of the OpenStack community
offer valuable soft-skills to help organizations successfully navigate the
transition.
Picking the Right Cloud Applications
OpenStack enables a new way to think about application development
and deployment. Weary of expensive software licenses, more
enterprises want to reduce their dependency on proprietary vendors
with open source alternatives.
OpenStack can help speed deployment of both cloud-aware and
traditional applications. Cloud-aware applications are resilient to failure
and latency. Theyâre service-oriented, elastically scalable, location
independent, and secure. Traditional applications require qualification
to determine fit for the cloud and may require migration planning.
OpenStack supports virtual machines, bare metal and containers
providing a flexible, robust platform for all types of applications.
With OpenStack, organizations can speed innovation, explore new
opportunities and create business value.
