Age of Formation:
Let’s Grow the Community!
Age of “Something for
Nothing”:
OpenStack gives me a
cloud for free!
Age of Pragmatism:
How can OpenStack drive
value in my organization?

(TBD)
Expectations vs. Reality

4. What Has Driven the Shift to the “Age of Pragmatists”?
4
“Free” Do-it-Yourself  Work with Vendor to De-risk
Primary Focus on “Free”  Primary Focus on “Developer Innovation”
Hire new team  Enable Current Team
• First-hand experience in a lab /
production
• Tales from operator meetups, blogs,
articles, analysts, etc.
Awareness of What Running
OpenStack Really Means
• No longer web-scale shops + SPs who
building out new team of developers to
maintain cloud.
• Have different expectations for
support, etc.
Enterprises are Growing
Percentage of Evaluators

5. Age of the Pragmatist: Focus on Developer Innovation
5
Businesses increasingly see software as a key differentiator
Automation enables their software developers to deliver software faster + more reliably.
OpenStack is a framework for providing developers with cloud-style APIs and
tools on top of your team’s choice of virtual infrastructure technologies.
Why?
How?

6. Ops Question: What is the Best Technology to Power OpenStack?
…scalability?”
…low total cost of
ownership”
…availability and
reliability?”
“What is the best
technology choice
for...”
… effective operations
and upgrade?”
... infrastructure
and app SLAs?”
… troubleshooting
and support?”
…advanced features?
…security?”

7. The Opportunity of OpenStack on VMware
7
…industry leading technologies that
deliver reliable and rich compute,
network, storage and management
Open and vendor-neutral APIs
and tools that help your
developers innovate…

8. Use vendor-neutral OpenStack APIs, CLIs,
and tools to provision + manage workloads
Use a robust platform and familiar tools to
operate and manage the cloud infrastructure.

10. VMware’s Opportunity: Making OpenStack Easy for Our Customers
10
• Announced as beta @ VMworld 2014
• VIO 1.0 went generally available in March 2015.
• FREE to vSphere Enterprise+ customers.
• Optional $200 / CPU / year for VIO support.

(95K lines-of-code in Kilo)
• Maintain VMware drivers,
assist with community efforts.
• Gives cross-project capability
of enforcing policy &
compliance.
• Newly accepted OpenStack
project.
• Serves as the foundation for
almost all open source +
vendor solutions for Neutron.
• OVN: new project launch early
in 2015. VMware + Red Hat.

“…an OpenStack installation does not make a cloud…
“These activities are bound to consume a significant amount of time and effort.”

16. Operations Example: Monitor, Troubleshoot, Remediate
16
vRealize Operations:
• Monitor / Troubleshoot OpenStack Control Plane
• Map from OpenStack Servers, Volumes, and
Networks down to virt + hardware layer.
vRealize Log Insight:
• Centralized log collection + analysis.
• Pre-built and extensible dashboards tailored to
OpenStack and other VMware products.

17. VMware NSX: Secure your applications with network virtualization
CONFIDENTIAL 17
Virtual Networking demos are cool….. Production-grade Virtual Networking is COOLER
And don’t forget about making sure the system is resilient to node failures, doesn’t
cause VM network downtime during upgrade, is easy to troubleshoot….
http://blogs.vmware.com/networkvirtualization/2015/05/journey-vmware-nsx-customers.html
400+ NSX customers

18. Operations Example: Security Patching
CONFIDENTIAL 18
• Allows VM “break out” to hypervisor, reach other
VMs and perhaps other hypervisors.
• A VERY scary bug in KVM / Xen (not VMware)
• You can’t patch fast enough… but are you
immediately going to take down every VM in
your cloud?
• These days, even GCE avoids patch reboots.
vSphere Maintenance Mode
& Update Manager
Automated, non-disruptive
hypervisor patching.

19. VMware Virtual SAN: Powerful Cinder & Nova Storage
19
Performance Policy: Go “all flash” or flexibly mix spinning disk & flash, on a per-workload basis.
Random Read:
7.4M IOPs
OLTP Mix:
2.2M IOPs
64-node vSAN Cluster.

/double-vsan-performance/
Simplicity & Ops: Enabled with a few clicks in vCenter, no separate storage sub-system to manage.
