Evaluating Vendors and Drivers in OpenStack Deployments with Rally OSProfiler
Everyone is excited about OpenStack these days, and while there's plenty of flavors of OpenStack for your datacenter, there is limited data for making decisions on the technology stack that runs OpenStack...

When Disaster Strikes the Cloud: The Who, What, When, Where, and How of OpenStack Disaster Recovery
Enterprise applications need to be able to survive large scale disasters. While some born-on-the-cloud applications have built-in disaster recovery functionality, non-born-on-the-cloud enterprise applications typically expect the infrastructure to provide disaster recovery support. OpenStack provides various building blocks that enable an OpenStack application to survive a disaster; these building blocks are being improved in Juno and Kilo...

OpenStack on a Silver Platter
Over the last months, we could see more and more OpenStack deployments running in production. Installing an OpenStack cloud that can scale does not only mean setting up packages and run your favorite automation tool to configure all the projects together...

Open Source OpenStack Provisioning Tools: What, Why, and How (Panel)

Setting up an OpenStack cloud in the production environment is not an easy task, but there are a number of open source projects to solve the OpenStack deployment problem, including Open Crowbar, Fuel, Compass, Forman, TripleO, etc. Why not just one project? Come listen to the developers who started these projects explain why they chose to build their tools, why they chose to make them open source, what their experience has been with production deployments, what the feedback has been from their users, and what lessons they have learned....

Ask the Experts: OpenStack-as-a-Service or as a Distribution (Panel)
This all-star panel discussion will focus on the merits and challenges of deploying OpenStack as either a distribution or as a service.

Developing OpenStack as a Framework for NFV
Communication service providers embracing Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are endorsing OpenStack as providing the common API Service Framework required to deliver their applications and services with a lower time to market. This desire for agility is in turn driving increasing pressure for OpenStack to meet the performance, reliability, and determinism requirements of this sector...

Using OpenStack Swift for Extreme Data Durability
OpenStack Swift is a very powerful object storage that is used in several of the largest object storage deployments around the globe. During this talk we want to give you an overview about the mechanism that are used within Swift to ensure data durability and availability...

Deploying and Auto Scaling Applications on OpenShift with Heat
This session's goal is to illustrate how DevOps can use Heat to orchestrate the deployment and scaling of complex applications on top of OpenStack. In this example, we'll use the example of deploying OpenShift Origin (a PaaS) with multiple Brokers & Nodes, MongoDB, DNS requirements - all of which can easily be deployed and managed using Heat....

Authors of the OpenStack Design Guide (Panel)
In July, 2014 The OpenStack Foundation brought twelve members of the OpenStack community together at VMware HQ in Palo Alto, California to produce the OpenStack Design Guide in just 5 days. This panel brings many of these authors together for an open discussion about how to architecture an OpenStack cloud...

Neutron Network Node High Availability

Today, you can configure multiple network nodes to host DHCP and L3 agents. In the Icehouse release, load sharing is accomplished by scheduling virtual routers on L3 agents. However, if a network node or L3 agent goes down, all routers scheduled on that node will go down and connectivity will be lost. The Juno release will introduce L3 high availability as well as distributed routing...

Transforming to OpenStack? A Roadmap to Work as a Service

Last summit I had the pleasure to present a talk which encountered some success. Are enterprises ready for the OpenStack transformation? This talk is a follow up on what are the best practices that are successful in operating the transformation...

Leveraging Existing Identity Sources for OpenStack Clouds
Keystone is the reference implementation of the Identity API in OpenStack. It needs to deal with traditional identity concepts such as users and groups as well as centrally managing authorization. This session will cover how Keystone can leverage existing identity sources for authentication and identity information...

Neutron Roundtable: Overlay or Full SDN?

Neutron offers multiple ways to implement networking. It's not only a matter of vendor choice, but also a choice of networking models. Should the tenants of your cloud be allowed to place requests that would directly modify the configuration of your hardware, or would you like them confined in virtual land? What are the limits of each models and can they be combined? Why would you need access to BGP/OSPF layers from Neutron...

Docker: All the OpenStack Services
Managing the lifecycle of OpenStack's services is no easy task. In this session users will learn about the lifecycle management challenges faced by enterprises deploying OpenStack including upgrading OpenStack's services, rolling back services, maintaining service isolation, maximizing use of resources by consolidating services...

Rethinking Ceilometer Metric Storage with Gnocchi Time-Series as a Service

When we started Ceilometer, we designed our metrics storage in a way that looked more like audit system that traditional metering tool. Recent evolution in OpenStack and Ceilometer pushed us to rethink how we should treat and store metrics...

OpenDaylight and OpenStack Developers (Panel)
OpenStack and OpenDaylight are two open source projects with a lot in common, including the same developers who work on both simultaneously. What makes these projects work so well together and how can you get involved? Ask the developers themselves in this panel discussing policy and control -- the point of intersection for the two projects -- and the pros and cons of uniting OpenStack's cloud with OpenDaylight's controller...

“Not Invented Here is not an Option”: The Importance of Cross-Community Collaboration
No open source project is built without incorporating the work of others. Even the smallest seemly insignificant python library can play a crucial role in the success or failure your project, even the choice of languages you use to implement your project can have a huge impact. No one can afford to build in isolation...

Taking the Long View: How the Oslo Program Reduces Technical Debt
In the fast-paced world of OpenStack development, we often focus on short-term needs like bug fixes and new features. The Oslo Program takes a longer view of the health and sustainability of the project. Our mission is to make OpenStack more maintainable by addressing cross-project code reuse and architectural issues. In this presentation we will cover the origins of Oslo and the processes and tools the team uses to improve OpenStack from the bottom up...
