Why OpenStack?

SUSE Cloud 2.0 Overview

• Based on OpenStack Grizzly‒ New features and fixes

• Mixed hypervisor support‒ Use existing infrastructure and lower costs

• Enhanced set-up and management capabilities

‒ Improves ease of use and installation

• Plug-in model for vendor integration‒ Storage: Ceph, NetApp, EMC

‒ Networking: Cisco, Open vSwitch, VLAN bridging

SUSE Cloud 2.0

SUSE Cloud Simplifies the Experience

SUSE Cloud Control

• PostgreSQL database

• Image service (Glance) for managing virtual images

• Identity (Keystone), providing authentication and authorization for all SUSE Cloud services

• Dashboard (Horizon), providing the Dashboard, which is a user Web interface for the SUSE Cloud services

• Nova API and scheduler

• Message broker (RabbitMQ)

SUSE Cloud Compute Nodes

• Pool of machines where instances run

• Equiped with RAM and CPU

• SUSE Cloud Compute (nova) service‒ Setting up, starting, stopping, migration of VM's

SUSE Cloud Storage Nodes

• Pool of machines providing storage

• Object storage provided by Swift‒ Optional

• Block storage provided by Nova Volume‒ Multiple backends

SUSE Cloud IdentityOpenStack “Keystone”

• Central directory of users for OpenStack services

• Common authentication system

• Integrates with existing directories like LDAP

‒ eDirectory, Active Directory

‒ openLDAP

• Supports multiple forms of authentication

SUSE Cloud Image Service OpenStack “Glance”

• Delivery service for the images

• Ability to copy, snapshot and store images

• Stored images can be used as a template

• Move images between object storage and compute nodes

• API available to gather information about the images

• One-click application deployment from SUSE Studio

SUSE Cloud Compute OpenStack “Nova”

• Hypervisor (KVM, Xen, Microsoft Hyper-V, Vmware ESXi)

‒ Customers can mix different hypervisors in a single cloud

• Device for nova-volume storage volume group

‒ Runs on Control Node

‒ Make sure you have enough disk space

• Security attributes (HTTP, HTTPS)

• Nova-multi-controller

‒ Distributing and scheduling the instances

• Nova-multi-compute

‒ Provides the hypervisor and tools needed to manage instances

SUSE Cloud Mixed Hypervisor Clouds

• Advantages of running multiple hypervisors‒ Workload optimization

‒ Licensing flexibility

• Cloud can simplify heterogeneity‒ Single control plane

‒ Schedule on any server

Mixed Hypervisor Use Case Dev/Test

• Development and test done on open source hypervisor

• Developers create, start, delete VMs as needed

• Move to proprietary hypervisor for production

• Seamless transfer of images

Mixed Hypervisor Use Case Workload Optimization

• Align workload with specific servers/hypervisors depending on:

‒ Application software certifications

‒ License agreement

• Seamless transfer of images Control Node

SUSE Cloud DashboardOpenStack “Horizon”

• Graphical interface for administrators and users

• Provides

‒ Access

‒ Provisioning

‒ Automation

• Built to be extensible for third-party products (billing, monitoring)

• Provides OpenStack API and EC2 compatibility API

SUSE Cloud Storage ConceptsEphemeral Storage

• Used for running operating system and scratch space

• Accessed via a file system

• Accessible from within a VM

• Managed by SUSE Cloud Compute

• Persists until VM is terminated

• Sizing is determined by known flavors defined by the administrator

• Typically you can have a 10GB first disk and 30GB second disk

SUSE Cloud Storage ConceptsObject Storage

• Used for storing data, including VM images

• Accessed via a REST API

• Accessible from anywhere

• Managed by SUSE Cloud Object Storage (Swift)

• Persists until its deleted by the user

• Sizing determined by amount of available storage

• Typically you would have 10s of TBs of dataset storage

SUSE Cloud Object StorageOpenStack “Swift”

• Redundant storage system

• Objects and files are written to multiple disks spread to different servers in the data center

• Scales horizontally

• Content replication to all active nodes

• Integrates with SUSE Cloud Identity, and works with SUSE Cloud Dashboard interface

• Commodity/Inexpensive

SUSE Cloud Storage ConceptsBlock Storage

• Used for adding additional persistent storage to a VM

• Accessed via a block device, which can be partitioned formatted and mounted

• Accessible from within a VM

• Managed by SUSE Cloud Block Storage

• Persists until its deleted by the user

• Sizing is specified by user in initial request

• Typically you could request any size block device for your use case

SUSE Cloud Object and Block StorageCeph Project

• Ceph Overview‒ Unified cloud storage ‒ object and block in a

single system

‒ An alternative for Swift, integrated with SUSE Cloud Block Storage

• SUSE Cloud and Ceph‒ Integrates with Nova for provisioning

‒ RESTful API

‒ SUSE Cloud Technical Preview

SUSE Cloud Block StorageOpenStack “nova-volume”

• Persistent block level storage

• Manages creating attaching and detaching of block devices for VMs

• Integrated into SUSE Cloud Compute allowing users to manage their own storage from the Dashboard

• Also includes Ceph (Tech preview)

SUSE Cloud Object and Block StorageConsiderations

• Your Choice‒ Do my users need block storage?

‒ Do my users need object storage?

‒ Do I need to support live migration?

• Object Storage (Swift)‒ Unified authentication for compute and object storage

‒ Control your object storage with the dashboard

‒ More mature project

• Ceph‒ Greater flexibility of data distribution and replication strategies.

‒ Fast provisioning of boot-from-volume instances

‒ Manage your object and block storage within a single system
