AGENDA
● WHY OPENSTACK, AND WHY NOW
● RED HAT & OPENSTACK
● RED HAT VISION
● TO THE INFINITY…AND BEYOND
RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX OPENSTACK PLATFORM

I.T. CHALLENGES

WORKLOADS ARE EVOLVING
TRADITIONAL
WORKLOADS
● Typically resides on a single large
Virtual Machine
● Cannot tolerate any downtime
● Needs expensive high availability tools
found in VMware vSphere
● Application scales up rather than out
CLOUD
WORKLOADS
● Workload resides on multiple Virtual Machines
● Tolerates VM failure – if one fails, another
quickly replaces it
● Fault tolerance often built into workload
● Application scales out rather than up

CLOUD BENEFITS

● Agility & Control
● Reduce time to provision
● Ability to scale on demand
● Improve business decision by capacity planning and cost
impacts
● Cost savings
● Increased consolidation, utilisation and optimisation
● Reduce power costs
● Re-allocation of human resources to more productive
roles
● Reduce SW licenses
● Rapid innovation
● More rapidly upgrade for applications
● Decrease time to market for new apps

WHY RED HAT?

FREEDOM, CHOICE, FLEXIBILITY
● Needs to access x86 hardware resources
● Needs an operating environment, hypervisor, services
● Leverages existing code libraries for functionality

UNDER THE HOOD, THE HEART OF LINUX
● It is dependent on the underlying Linux...
LINUX

HOW DO WE GET FROM
COMMUNITY OPENSTACK TO
RED HAT OPENSTACK?

RED HAT LEADS THROUGH OPEN INNOVATION

OPENSTACK RELEASE CADENCE
Upstream RDO RHEL-OSP 5
Source code only
Deliver binaries for major
Enterprise Linux (RHEL, CentOS,
Fedora)
Subscription-based for RHEL
6-months cadence Follows upstream
Released every 6 months,
2-3 months after upstream
2 to 3 ‘snapshots’
including bug fixes
Follows upstream
>3 years support lifecycle (will
increase in time)
No more fixes after next
major release (no back port)
Follows upstream
Backporting of bug fixes and
improvements

HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM
READY FOR OPENSTACK?

VIRTUAL MACHINE WORKLOAD TYPES
TRADITIONAL
(RHEV)
CLOUD
(OpenStack)
MIXED/HYBRID
Big stateful VM Small stateless VMs Combination of Traditional
and Cloud VMs to provide
application. Database may
be hosted on traditional
workloads, web front-end
and logic layers on cloud
workloads.
1 Application → 1 VM 1 Application → Many VMs
Lifecycle in years Lifecycle hours to months
Scale up (VM gets bigger) Scale out (add VMs)
Not designed to tolerate
failure of VM, so you need
features that keep VMs up
If a VM dies, application kills
it and creates a new one, app
stays up
Application SLA requires
enterprise virtualization
features (migration, HA, etc.)
to keep applications
available
Application SLA requires
adding/removing VM
instances to application
cloud to maintain application
availability

WHAT'S COMING?

BEYOND CLOUD

DEVOPS + CLOUD = PaaS
DEVOPS PaaS CLOUD

DEVOPS? CONTINUOUS DELIVERY?
What is DevOps? - The application of software
development principles to the tasks of IT Operations, often
automating Operations tasks such as application code
deployment and promotion.
What is Continuous Delivery? – The automation of code
promotion through the application lifecycle so that code
changes can be pushed into production environments very
often.
PaaS is the PATH to DevOps SUCCESS

PaaS IN A BOX
● Multi-language
● Auto-scaling
● Self-service
● Open Source
● Enterprise-grade
● Secure
● Built on Red Hat
