Doctor Overview

• One of OPNFV Requirement Project (Identify requirement, Gap Analysis, Implementation Study)

• Goal

– Build fault management and maintenance framework for high availability of Network Services on top of virtualized infrastructure

– Valuable and acceptable framework for other industries

• Status

– Initial Requirement study, architecture design, Gap analysis : Done (See Document [link])

– Collaborative Development: Started (Blueprints are proposed to Nova and Ceilometer)

– Standardization Sync: On-going (by NFV member efforts, joint meeting)

AS-IS: OpenStack Kilo (1/3)

• How can you find faults as a tenant user?

– Keep-a-live check to each VM– Polling VM state to Nova API– Set alarm on metering service (e.g. CPU runtime)

13

AS-IS: OpenStack Kilo (2/3)

• How does the metering service work?

1. Resource controller such as Nova monitors usage of resource [Periodically]

2. Get samples from resource controller and register them to DB [Periodically]

3. Evaluate alarm definition on samples [Periodically]4. Raise alarm depend on result of the evaluation

AS-IS: OpenStack Kilo (3/3)

• Notification

– OpenStack components post events to messaging queue– Ceilometer collects, transform and publish those events which can be

used for billing
