NFV enabler driven by Red Hat - Heat

§  OpenStack Heat: Service to orchestrate multiple composite cloud applications §  TOSCA:

§  Topology and

§  Orchestration

§  Specification for

§  Cloud

§  Applications

§  Standard to describe cloud services, the relationships between parts of the service, and the operational behavior of the services.

§  Auto scaling\Bursting

§  HA mechanism, different levels (services running inside an instance, individual instances, stacks)

§  Nested stacks

§  Led by Steven Dake (Red Hat); Corosync’s Quorum brainchild

Key NFV enabler driven by Red Hat

§  sVirt: Linux Virtualization with Mandatory Access Control §  Based on Red Hat engineered featured SELinux and cgroups

§  Provide highest level of security (FIPS-140) and multi-tenancy support

§  Integrated resources management
