Introduction of OpenStack cascading solutionJoe Huang
This document introduces Huawei's OpenStack cascading solution for integrating multi-site and multi-data center clouds. The cascading solution exposes a unified global OpenStack API while allowing each site/data center to run independently with different OpenStack distributions, instances, and versions. It addresses challenges of managing resources across regions like tenant quotas, IP addressing, security groups, and networking. The cascading solution works by having a "cascading OpenStack" that orchestrates multiple "cascaded OpenStacks." It propagates operations like launching VMs, creating volumes, and configuring networks to the appropriate underlying OpenStack.
DevStack: Learn OpenStack by Running OpenStackEverett Toews
The document discusses DevStack, which is a set of shell scripts that can be used to build a complete OpenStack development environment. It introduces DevStack and explains that it allows users to learn OpenStack by running the open source cloud computing platform locally on their own computer. The presentation then demonstrates setting up and using a DevStack environment to deploy an OpenStack test virtual machine.
Openstack is an open source cloud operating system that manages large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources. It consists of several components including Nova (compute), Neutron (networking), Glance (images), Keystone (identity), and Cinder (block storage). The major hypervisor options supported by Openstack are KVM, XenServer, and vSphere. Common deployment models include a basic 3 node architecture with separate controller and compute nodes, or a scaled compute-only environment.
This document outlines a project to create a single installer ISO that delivers a functional Xen hypervisor on CentOS without requiring a preexisting CentOS installation. The ISO would upgrade the kernel to match Xen repositories and configure networking and storage, allowing Xen to run out of the box. It would provide options for self-hosted or bridged networking and file-backed or LVM storage. The goal is to facilitate easy consumption of Xen and extensions like OpenStack or OpenNebula.
Do you think that Nova, Cinder, Heat, Ceilometer, and Neutron are all references to global warming and looming apocalypse? For all those who come to the OpenStack community and wonder what all the fuss is about, this quick introduction will answer your many questions.

An overview of OpenStack for the VMware communityAnthony Chow
- OpenStack is an open source cloud operating system that manages compute, storage, and networking resources. It was designed to run on commodity hardware.
- It provides infrastructure as a service (IaaS) capabilities and consists of several interconnected projects to provide services like compute (Nova), object storage (Swift), block storage (Cinder), and networking (Neutron).
- OpenStack can provide the essential characteristics of a cloud like on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, and measured service.
Running OpenStack on Amazon AWS: In this talk we will demonstrate how to create an exact replica of an on-premises OpenStack configuration in the public cloud (AWS/EC-2, GCE or HP Cloud) and spin multiple copies of this environment in a matter of minutes. We will technically elaborate how we use our own high performance nested hypervisor HVX, and software defined networking - to run OpenStack guests with KVM acceleration on top of any public cloud.
OpenStack is an open source software project that provides tools to build public and private clouds using standard hardware. It includes modules for compute (provisioning virtual machines), object storage (storing and retrieving objects), and an image service. The OpenStack community aims to produce an ubiquitous open source cloud platform that is simple to implement and massively scalable for both public and private cloud providers.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

2. Agenda Motivations and goal “reference”, “default” or “whatever” plugin Quantum-vlan-plugin blueprint Follow-up actions
3. Motivations Plugins currently available do not embrace the spectrum of hypervisors supported by Openstack Openvswitch: Xen/XenServer/KVM with Open vSwitch Cisco UCS: KVM with 802.1qbh It is important to have a Quantum plugin which: Can run on each hypervisor platform supported by Openstack Can run on ‘vanilla’ hypervisor with little to no changes to sw/hw configuration
4. Goal Build a Quantum plugin satisfying the following requirements: Works on Xen/XenServer/KVM/ESX and possibly Hyper-V Does not require any additional software or hardware component Can be used on mixed hypervisor deployments (e.g.: XenServer and ESX)
5. Terminology Reference The plugin will become the “reference implementation” of the API Basic The plugin adopts very basic technologies (e.g.: VLANs) Default The plugin is the default choice in quantum.conf Other proposals?
6. Implementation (1/2) Quantum-vlan-plugin blueprinthttps://blueprints.launchpad.net/quantum/+spec/quantum-vlan-plugin Porting of nova-network L2 components to Quantum libvirt for KVM XenAPI for XenServer VMWareAPI for ESX ??? For HyperV VLANs are possibly the only suitable way for implementing this plugin at the moment
