8. BUSINESS AND INFRASTRUCTURE PRIORITIES
9
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
● Lines of Business want:
● Rapidly create and update applications
● IT to act as a service, not a bottleneck
● Turning to public cloud IaaS when infrastructure can't meet needs
● Infrastructure team priorities:
● Meet demands of business users faster
● Attain governance over entire infrastructure
● Gain insight into utilization
● Considering hybrid IaaS cloud to achieve these results
RED HAT CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE
9. WORKLOADS ARE EVOLVING
TRADITIONAL
WORKLOADS
● Typically resides on a single large
Virtual Machine
● Cannot tolerate any downtime
● Needs expensive high availability
tools found in VMware vSphere
● Application scales up rather than
out
RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX DOC144908 OPENSTACK PLATFORM
CLOUD
WORKLOADS
● Workload resides on multiple Virtual
Machines
● Tolerates VM failure – if one fails,
another quickly replaces it
● Fault tolerance often built into
workload
● Application scales out rather than up

38. RED HAT'S OPENSTACK LEADERSHIP
WHY DO THESE STATISTICS MATTER?
● Proof that Red Hat has skills, resources to:
● Support customers
● Drive new features
● Influence strategy and direction of project
● Enable partner collaboration
● Wide ranging participation, contrasts with most others
who are more narrowly focused
● Important to highlight our leadership in the whole stack
● Linux, KVM, libvirt, etc
● RHEL-OSP is an enterprise-grade distribution with
ecosystem, lifecycle, and support that customers expect
from Red Hat
RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX DOC144908 OPENSTACK PLATFORM
39. BUILDING A COMMUNITY
● RDO Project
● Community distribution of OpenStack
● Packaged/tested for *EL6 and *EL7 and derivatives
● Freely available without registration
● Easy to install

● Increased to 3 year lifecycle
● e.g., Support for Havana ends after “K” release
● Will continue to increase lifecycle over time
● Based on upstream stability and resources
RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX DOC144908 OPENSTACK PLATFORM
43. WHY RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX
OPENSTACK PLATFORM
● All benefits of community OpenStack and...
● Enterprise hardened code
● Co-engineered and integrated with Red Hat Enterprise
Linux
● Enterprise software lifecycle
● World-class global support
● Worlds largest OpenStack partner ecosystem
● OpenStack training and certification
● Integrated with trusted Red Hat stack
● Red Hat CloudForms
● Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
● Red Hat Storage
RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX DOC144908 OPENSTACK PLATFORM
44. THE IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRATION WITH LINUX...
● A typical OpenStack cloud is made up of at least 10
core services (Nova, Cinder, Keystone, Neutron,
glance, etc) + plugins to interact with 3rd party
systems – eg. storage arrays, network switches.
● These services run on top of a Linux distribution
with a complex set of userspace dependencies,
requiring tight integration
● A supported, stable platform requires integration
and testing of each of the components
RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX DOC144908 OPENSTACK PLATFORM
45. THE IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRATION WITH LINUX...
● Many of the most complex features are provided by
Linux with OpenStack providing management and
orchestration
● For example: virtualization provided by the KVM
hypervisor, with libvirt management interface, interacting
with Open vSwitch userspace switch, transitioning to the
kernel's networking stack to handle network namespaces
– Each potentially managed by different OpenStack
services.
● These components need to be engineered &
productized together
● OpenStack cannot be productized as a layered
product
RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX DOC144908 OPENSTACK PLATFORM
46. THE IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRATION WITH LINUX...
● Examples of RHEL optimized enablers for
OpenStack:
● Virtualization – guest performance, reliability, and
Windows
● Security - SELinux enforcing guest isolation
● Network – SDN/OVS performance optimized
● Storage – vendor plugins, performance, thin provisioning
● Ecosystem – certification of hardware, storage, and
networks
● The pairing of the Linux operating system and
OpenStack is so tight that Red Hat Enterprise Linux
OpenStack Platform is the only combination that
can most effectively support functionality,
performance, security, system-wide stability, and
ecosystem support
