Introduction to Container Storage Interface (CSI)Idan Atias
Among the cool stuff we do at Silk, my colleagues and I develop the Silk CSI Plugin for customers who use our system as the storage layer for their Kubernetes workloads.
Before deep diving into the code and as part of my ramp-up on this subject I prepared some slides that cover some basic and important information on this topic.
These slides start by recapping some basic storage principals in containers and Kubernetes, continues with some more advanced use cases (including an "offline demo" of persisting Redis data on EBS volumes), and ends with a detailed information on the CSI solution itself.
IMHO, reviewing these slides can improve your understanding on this matter and can get you started implementing your own CSI plugin.
The main sources of information I used for preparing these slides are:
* Official CSI docs
* Kubernetes Storage Lingo 101 - Saad Ali, Google
* Container Storage Interface: Present and Future - Jie Yu, Mesosphere, Inc.

Turning object storage into vm storagewim_provoost
Object Storage is today the standard to build scale-out storage. But due to technical hurdles it is impossible to run Virtual Machines directly from an Object Store. Open vStorage is the layer between the hypervisor and Object Store and turns the Object Store into a high performance, distributed, VM-centric storage platform.
Getting it Right: OpenStack Private Cloud StorageNetApp
The benefits of cloud are indisputable. Storage, however, remains a complex, expensive aspect of setting up a cloud ― one you can’t afford to get wrong. When it comes to storage for OpenStack, one size doesn’t fit all, and you need to choose the right tool for the job.
Take a look at this presentation to learn:
* What workloads are best suited for performance-optimized block storage
* What storage features are critical to the success of your OpenStack cloud
* How and where to utilize complementary object storage
Turning OpenStack Swift into a VM storage platformwim_provoost
OpenStack Swift is the Object Storage project within OpenStack. Alas, due to technical hurdles (eventual consistency, blocks <> objects, …) it is impossible to run Virtual Machines directly on Swift. You need a layer in between Swift and the hypervisor which can overcome these hurdles. This is where Open vStorage comes in.
Open vStorage is an open-source VM storage router. It is a software layer (called the VM Storage Router) in between Virtual Machines and storage backends. It allows to abstract the backend from the Virtual Machine and creates a uniform, single namespace across multiple hosts. These VM Storage Routers (VSRs) operate like a grid leveraging local flash memory or SSDs and any storage back-end (S3 compatible object store, (distributed) filesystem, NAS) to provide an extremely high performance and reliable storage system.
One of the supported Object Stores is OpenStack Swift. Open vStorage is the only solution to turn OpenStack Swift into block storage for Virtual Machines. Through a Cinder Plugin it allows to create and manage volumes directly on top of OpenStack Swift. Combining Open vStorage with OpenStack Swift allows to create a scale-out, performing, VM-centric storage platform which neatly integrates with OpenStack.

Consolidate your enterprise workloads without creating new performance constr...NetApp
In this presentation by SolidFire's vExpert Jeramiah Dooley, you will learn about how consolidating workloads onto a single platform can be the crucial missing step as VMware customers transition from a legacy architecture into a Software Defined Data Center.
Storage has become the boat anchor of the modern, virtualized data center. Up until recently it has been slow, unpredictable, inflexible, required far too much operational overhead and was sized, deployed and managed using methods created in the 1980s. Worst of all, storage capacity and performance are often still locked together in fixed ratios, making it inevitable that even the best run storage environment will be wasteful and inefficient as you consolidate your applications.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. The technology and know-how exists to have storage be a predictable, flexible, and easily managed part of an overall virtualized platform designed to provide the performance and availability that today’s end user workloads demand.
Log-Structured File System (LSFS) as a weapon to fight “I/O Blender” virtuali...StarWind Software
A side effect of the massive server workload consolidation enabled by hypervisor-based virtualization has been the addition of 7 to 16 I/O ports per machine to handle the I/O requirements of the hosted apps. But, before the data can be sent to and from storage devices, virtualization administrators often confront a more challenging problem that some have taken to calling the I/O Blender Effect. The I/O Blender effect is seen when multiple virtual machines send their I/O streams at the same time to a hypervisor for processing, increasing random accesses and increasing latency. Some software-defined storage (SDS) architectures are actually making the problem worse by caching raw small logical block writes using flash memory devices, leading to accelerated wear of the device and contributing virtually no improvement in storage I/O performance.
In this presentation (originally presented to vExperts on March 31, 2015), you will learn about SolidFire’s technology preview showcasing integration with Rawlinson Rivera’s VMware’s vRealize Automation (vRA) project. As an automation solution for VMware, vRA provides a service catalog of application blueprints to build, move, add, and change application infrastructure resources. Enterprise organizations benefit from reduced administrative duties to service the needs of applications running in a Software Defined Data Center.
This tech preview will showcase application service catalog building of software defined infrastructure through VMware’s vSphere 6, vRA, and SolidFire’s all-flash scale-out storage system. You’ll see a database and other applications being built from a template that allows you to select from exposed SolidFire capabilities, such as Quality of Service, encryption, and even Site Recovery Manager (SRM) protection.

It hosted over 350 attendees, with 47 speakers holding technical talks, user stories, new features and integrations presentations and more.
In cloud computing environments, VMs require fast access to resources like storage and networking. The hardware that the VMs access is implemented in software and/or by passing through a dedicated hardware device. Software-based solutions consume extra CPU cycles, thus resulting in poor performance. Also, these require to expose a device-model to the guest, thus increasing the attack surface. Conversely, hardware passthrough provides better performance and security but can be expensive in terms of the number of physical resources, since each device is dedicated to a single VM. This talk focuses on how Vates is working on sharing hardware resources among VMs by relying on dedicated processors named Data Processing Units (DPU). More precisely, Vates work on offloading Xen hypervisor of storage emulation by relying on Kalray K200 DPU PCIe controllers, a hardware accelerator based on MPPA architecture.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Using next gen storage in Cloudstack
1. Using Next Generation Storage to
Improve Performance, Scalability &
Efficiency in your CloudStack
Infrastructure
Giles Sirett
CEO
Giles.sirett@shapeblue.com
Twitter: @ShapeBlue
2. Agenda
Key Design Considerations for a CloudStack IaaS Cloud
Primary & Secondary Storage
Scaling Storage
The IOPS Dilemma
Real World Storage Scenarios
Solidfire’s Next Generation Storage Platform
Demo of Solidfire / CloudStack Integration
Q&A
@ShapeBlue
5. About ShapeBlue
“ShapeBlue are expert builders of public & private
clouds. They are the leading global independent
CloudStack / CloudPlatform integrator &
consultancy”
@ShapeBlue
10. Secondary Storage
Configured at Zone level
Has to be accessible by Management Servers, Hosts and SSVMs
Stores all Templates, ISOs and Snapshots
Has to be NFS
Swift and S3 can be used to replicate data between Zones
Zones can have more than one Secondary Storage Volume
Public Templates & ISOs are copied to every store within a Zone
@ShapeBlue
11. Scaling Secondary Storage
Capacity determined by
Number of Public ISOs
Number of Public Templates
Data Consumed by Users
Volume Snapshots
Private ISOs
Private Templates
Uploaded Volumes
@ShapeBlue
12. Primary Storage
Configured at Cluster or Zone level
Stores all Disk Volumes and VM Snapshots for VMs
Options are:
NFS
iSCSI
FC
Local Storage
High Performance is critical
@ShapeBlue
14. Considerations for Scaling Primary Storage
Workload is a key factor
Optimal LUN Size for iSCSI ~ 500GB
Capacity required for each VM
Disk performance required for each VM
20 VMs per iSCSI LUN for optimal performance
Significant admin overhead to create and manage
Admins tend to create large LUNs for ease of management
Performance Suffers
Scale-Out is a manual process
@ShapeBlue
15. Cloud Scale Requires Automation
Cloud scale requires automation of all components
CloudStack can orchestrate
Hypervisors
Networks (SDN)
Network Appliances – F5, LB, Netscaler etc
Virtual Machines
Storage is a very significant piece of the infrastructure
Choose a storage vendor who integrates with CloudStack
@ShapeBlue
16. Scaling Primary Storage - Example
4 XenServer Clusters, each with 4 Hosts
28 usable cores (after Hypervisor overhead)
764GB usable RAM (after Hypervisor overhead)
Mapping of 6vCPU to 1 core
@ShapeBlue
17. Scaling Primary Storage - Example
Average VM Specification is 1vCPU / 4GB of RAM
Based on total host capacity
2528 Guest VMs
75,840 IOPs (30 IOPS per VM)
50.5 TB of Storage (20GB per VM)
1264 VRs
12640 (10 IOPS per VR)
2.5 TB of Storage (2 GB per VM)
@ShapeBlue
18. Storage Array IOPS vs Capacity - Example
What we need
What can a traditional storage array provide (real world figures)
53 TB capacity
88,480 IOPS
50TB Capacity
9,500 IOPS
Therefore we need 10 Storage Arrays
500TB Capacity
95,000 IOPS
10x the required capacity to
achieve required IOPS
@ShapeBlue
22. Other Factors Affecting Capacity
Linked Clones
Each VM within a LUN/Volume is linked to a ‘Template’ image
Template may have 20GB allocated but only 2GB on disk
Linked VMs only contain the differences – starts at 200MB
Thin Provisioning
Deduplication
Actual storage space required is much lower than you think!
@ShapeBlue
23. IOPS vs Capacity Problem
Total IOPS per Storage Array – not per VM
Traditional Multi-Tiered Storage has its limits
Forced to add excess capacity to achieve IOPS
Deduplication actually makes matters worse
@ShapeBlue
25. Key Primary Storage
Considerations
Guaranteed
Performance
Fine-grain performance
management with Guaranteed
Quality of Service (QoS)
Scale-out
Simultaneous scaling of both
capacity and performance
In-line
efficiency
In-line data reduction reduces data
footprint, requires less purchased capacity
High
Availability
RAID-less data protection maintains data
availability, security and performance
regardless of failure condition.
