Cross-project collaboration is something OpenStack community has embraced for a long time. Common libraries like Oslo reduces the time and effort to build a new service. Another way this manifests is in new OpenStack services getting built using existing services to solve an higher level use-case.
In this talk we are present how the band of projects comprising of Mistral, Tacker, Neutron, Heat, TOSCA-parser and Barbican came together to build an industry leading ETSI NFV Orchestrator that leveraged the best of these projects. Each of these projects brought in critical functionalities needed towards the final product. You will learn how, when strung together, this solution follows the classic Microservices design pattern that the industry is rapidly adopting.
SDN and NFV integrated OpenStack Cloud - Birds eye view on SecurityTrinath Somanchi
Network security and reliability are the most challenging tasks in any cloud. With NFV and SDN in place, Network Functions are virtualzied and network traffic is managed in separated control and data planes. Thus reducing the operational and capital expenditure. Virtualized Network Functions are tied with Software Defined Networks to boost the power of virtualization.
This itself is challenging when Network services and security is a concern. While OpenStack is the best opted solution for IaaS, many service provides are moving towards best solutions to deal with service delivery and security challenges in SDN and NFV integrated OpenStack Cloud.

Distributed VNF Management - Architecture and Use casesTrinath Somanchi
Telco operators are on journey to discover what virtualization means for the network. Markets have believed that NFV architecture elements: NFVI and VIM, hold the complete responsibility in providing virtualized networks with carrier grade properties.
Telco operators have reached to a conclusion that VNFs must take their fair share of responsibility to realize NFV goals while meeting carrier-grade behavior in the entire NFV architecture. While the trend moves on, Cloud native VNFs are emerging best citizens of the cloud. Thus communication from EMS to VNFM is blurred and eventually may disappear in the future. This requires better understanding of, and agreement over the role of VNFMs and EMS for VNFs.
This presentation describes the evolution of Distributed VNF management, Architectural design considerations and Use-case scenarios. The following proposal is based on a comprehensive study on evolving cloud native VNF management.
OpenStack and Kubernetes - A match made for Telco HeavenTrinath Somanchi
With the advent of Containerization of Telco Clouds for NFV and SDN based deployments, OpenStack with Kubernetes is a best chosen option to solve the challenges is a better way to build a containerized Telco cloud. This involves, "Kubernetes in OpenStack", "OpenStack in Kubernetes" and "Independent OpenStack and Kubernetes". With this complementing collaboration, in the Stadium of OpenStack's Open Infrastructure, Telecom gaints are developing cloud-native solutions to best fit the next generation networking deployments. In this Presentation, we talk about Containerization and benefits, OpenStack and Kubernetes match making and we give a brief overview on Airship and Kata Container projects.

Customers are using NSX to drive business benefits as show in the figure below. The main themes for NSX deployments are Security, IT automation and Application Continuity.
Figure 3: NSX Use Cases
• Security:
NSX can be used to create a secure infrastructure, which can create a zero-trust security model. Every virtualized workload can be protected with a full stateful firewall engine at a very granular level. Security can be based on constructs such as MAC, IP, ports, vCenter objects and tags, active directory groups, etc. Intelligent dynamic security grouping can drive the security posture within the infrastructure.
NSX can be used in conjunction with 3rd party security vendors such as Palo Alto Networks, Checkpoint, Fortinet, or McAffee to provide a complete DMZ like security solution within a cloud infrastructure.
NSX has been deployed widely to secure virtual desktops to secure some of the most vulnerable workloads, which reside in the data center to prohibit desktop-to-desktop hacking.
• Automation:
VMware NSX provides a full RESTful API to consume networking, security and services, which can be used to drive automation within the infrastructure. IT admins can reduce the tasks and cycles required to provision workloads within the datacenter using NSX.
NSX is integrated out of the box with automation tools such as vRealize automation, which can provide customers with a one-click deployment option for an entire application, which includes the compute, storage, network, security and L4-L7 services.
6
Developers can use NSX with the OpenStack platform. NSX provides a neutron plugin that can be used to deploy applications and topologies via OpenStack
• Application Continuity:
NSX provides a way to easily extend networking and security up to eight vCenters either within or across data center In conjunction with vSphere 6.0 customers can easily vMotion a virtual machine across long distances and NSX will ensure that the network is consistent across the sites and ensure that the firewall rules are consistent. This essentially maintains the same view across sites.
NSX Cross vCenter Networking can help build active – active data centers. Customers are using NSX today with VMware Site Recovery Manager to provide disaster recovery solutions. NSX can extend the network across data centers and even to the cloud to enable seamless networking and security.

It also reviews the technical state of NSX and looks forward to where network virtualization will head in the coming years.
Application and Network Orchestration using Heat & ToscaNati Shalom
The buzzwords Neutron, Heat, and TOSCA are spoken about quite often when it comes to the OpenStack - and many of us are still trying to make sense of the terminology and its place in the OpenStack world.
Where OpenStack Neutron provides APIs for creating network elements, OpenStack Heat provides an orchestration engine for automating the setup and configuration of OpenStack infrastructure, while TOSCA is a standard for templating and defining application topology and policies (that form the basis for Heat). In this context, it really makes sense to put these all together to achieve application and network automation for OpenStack on steroids.
In this session we will learn how we can use the robust combination of Heat and TOSCA to configure and control resources on Nova and Neutron in order to automate the network configuration as part of the application deployment.
The session will include a demo and code examples that show how you can configure virtual networks, attach public IPs, set up security groups, set up load balancing and automatically scale up/down and more. You will leave this session understanding where Neutron meets Heat and TOSCA.

Graspan: A Big Data System for Big Code AnalysisAftab Hussain
We built a disk-based parallel graph system, Graspan, that uses a novel edge-pair centric computation model to compute dynamic transitive closures on very large program graphs.
We implement context-sensitive pointer/alias and dataflow analyses on Graspan. An evaluation of these analyses on large codebases such as Linux shows that their Graspan implementations scale to millions of lines of code and are much simpler than their original implementations.
These analyses were used to augment the existing checkers; these augmented checkers found 132 new NULL pointer bugs and 1308 unnecessary NULL tests in Linux 4.4.0-rc5, PostgreSQL 8.3.9, and Apache httpd 2.2.18.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.
Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

clutter output with
extraneous
information
Design and build
software, even

ideally within
weeks. Don't
hesitate to throw
away the clumsy
parts and rebuild
them.
Use tools in
preference to
unskilled help to
lighten a
programming task,
even if you have to
detour to build the
tools and expect to
throw some of
them out after
you've finished
using them.

12. Mistral and Tacker
Network Service Descriptor (NSD)
• Mistral driver between NFVO and VNFM will
translate TOSCA template into workflow
which in turn instantiate a Network Service.
• Mistral Driver will call Mistral interfaces for
Network Service requests.
• Wait in PENDING_CREATE state for NS
until all VNFs goes to ACTIVE state.
• Decide to move forward/backward in case
of partial failure.
Scalable VNF Monitoring
• Mistral is an integral part of tacker system, a
long-live Mistral workflow action can be
used to do this kind of task.
• Tacker server will generate a VNF
monitoring workflow and execute it if there
is a VNF configured with monitor policies.
• When the workflow is removed, the VNFM
plugin will kill the mistral action via MSG
queue
Scalable VIM Monitoring
Long-live mistral workflow.
Tacker server will generate a VIM reachability
test workflow and execute it if a new vim is
registered.
The workflow and execution will be removed
once the vim is de-registered from tacker
server.
Tacker Server Mistral Workflow Conductor Server
DB
Mistral is a workflow service. Most business processes consist of
multiple distinct interconnected steps that need to be executed in
a particular order in a distributed environment.
One can describe such process as a set of tasks and task
relations and upload such description to Mistral so that it takes
care of state management, correct execution order, parallelism,
synchronization and high availability.
Mistral also provides flexible task scheduling so that we can run a
process according to a specified schedule (i.e. every Sunday at
4.00pm) instead of running it immediately.
We call such set of tasks and relations between them a workflow.

13. Ceilometer and Tacker
Tacker
(TOSCA)
Alarm Framework Ceilometer
The Ceilometer project is a data collection service that provides the ability
to normalise and transform data across all current OpenStack core
components with work underway to support future OpenStack components.
Ceilometer is a component of the Telemetry project. Its data can be used to
provide customer billing, resource tracking, and alarming capabilities across
all OpenStack core components.

VNF
• ETSI MANO architecture describes to monitor the VNF to take appropriate action such as fault
management, performance management. Monitoring became an important aspect in MANO
architecture.
• Monitoring Policy in TOSCA template – for single and Multiple VDUs.
• Default backend actions : scaling, respawn, log, and log_and_kill.
14. Networking-SFC with Tacker - VNFFG
• Abstract VNFFG TOSCA definitions are rendered into
Service Function Chains (SFCs) and Classifiers.
• The SFC makes up an ordered list of VNFs for traffic to
traverse, while the classifier decides which traffic should go
through them.
• Similar to how VNFs are described by VNFDs, VNFFGs are
described by VNF Forwarding Graph Descriptors (VNFFGD).
• After creating a VNFFGD, a VNFFG is instantiated by a
separate Tacker command. This action will build the chain
and classifier necessary to realize the VNFFG.
Service Function Chaining Extension for OpenStack Networking
Fundamentally SFC is the ability to cause network packet flows to route
through a network via a path other than the one that would be chosen by
routing table lookups on the packet’s destination IP address.
It is most commonly used in conjunction with Network Function
Virtualization when recreating in a virtual environment a series of network
functions that would have traditionally been implemented as a collection of
physical network devices connected in series by cables.

Tacker
Tacker – uses OpenStack CORE
services to manage the VNFs. OpenStack
with its CORE services forms the VIM.
16. Barbican with Tacker
Designed for the secure storage, provisioning and management of
secrets. It is aimed at being useful for all environments, including
large ephemeral Clouds.
* Secrets API. It provides access to the secret / keying material stored
in the system, including Private Key/Certificate/Password/SSH Keys
* Secret Metadata API. It allows a user to be able to associate various
key/value pairs with a Secret.
* Containers API. It creates a logical object that can be used to
hold secret references.
* ACL API. It supports access control for secrets and containers.
* Certificate Authorities API. It is used as an interface to interact
with Certificate Authorities.
* Quotas API. It limit on the number of resources that are allowed
to be created.
* Consumers API. It is a way to register as an interested party
for a container.
Barbican ?
Why to collaborate with a OpenStack project that deals with Security?
Tacker supports registering VIM with credentials, which are used by NFVO and VNFM to operate resources in
NFVI. The credentials include username, password, and project information.
When Tacker Server is behind a load balancer, then the operation will fail if the request is not
fulfilled by the server node which created and stored the fernet key. We need a possible solution for syncing
the keys across multiple server nodes. This adds operational complexity for tacker administrators as they add
tacker-server instances for scaling.
Tacker uses Barbican’s Secrets API to restore the password of VIM. And in
future, we can use Barbican to support TLS in Tacker API
17. Oslo Libraries
Oslo – brings deployment and development experiences consistent across OpenStack projects.
•OpenStack projects share many common design patterns and implementation details.
•Early in the history of OpenStack this resulted in a lot of code being copied out of one project into another.
•The Oslo project was created to address this situation, and to provide a home for common code used by multiple other OpenStack projects.
•Adopting oslo libraries makes a project more similar to the rest of OpenStack, and that consistency in turn improves the Operator/Deployer experience.
Well known Oslo Libraries (not limited to) –
oslo.config : Provides tools for managing configuration option definitions, validation, configuration file
parsing, and command line option processing.
oslo.messaging: Implements common inter-process communication patterns such as notifications and
RPC. It includes drivers for different backends such as RabbitMQ, AMQP 1.0, and ZMQ. This pluggable
backend pattern is common across OpenStack as a way to provide options for deployers familiar with
different tool stacks.
oslo.log: Wrapper around Python’s standard logging tools, coupling them with oslo.config and applying
OpenStack-specific requirements.
