This document discusses Red Hat's OpenStack platform. It provides an overview of OpenStack and what it is used for. It then discusses why Red Hat is well suited to provide an OpenStack platform, including that it is optimized to run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and benefits from Red Hat's engineering resources and long term support. Key features of Red Hat's OpenStack platform are also summarized, such as performance, availability, security and manageability.

What is OpenStack?

3. 3
OpenStack: Framework for the Cloud
• Needs to access x86 hardware resources
• Needs an operating environment, hypervisor, services
• Leverages existing code libraries for functionality

4. 4
Am I Ready for OpenStack?
TRADITIONAL: SCALE UP
(RHEV)
CLOUD: SCALE OUT
(OpenStack)
MIXED/HYBRID
Big stateful VM Small stateless VMs Combination of traditional
scale-up and cloud scale-out
workloads.
For example: 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
