  1. Cisco and OpenStack • Lew Tucker • VP/CTO Cloud Computing • Cisco Systems, Inc. • @lewtucker

  2. Today: “Builder phase” of Cloud Computingrelated to another well-known phenomena - DIY Homebrew Computer Club

  3. DIY Approach Followed By Some Of The Best

  4. Today’s ArchitecturalBattle Enterprise Approach Vertical scaling HA failover model Transactional Application specific Infrastructure Commercial Software Web Approach Scale-out Architecture Design for Failure Information-centric Commodity systems Open Source Applied Now to a Cloud IaaS Platform

  5. Web Scale Cloud Computing Platform • Customers want to avoid being locked • Common platform offered by multiple vendors • Standardization of the API • Ability of move data and applications • Cloud service provider needs • Serve many tenants, over thousands of severs • Easy to operate • Allows provider to focus on support, reliability, availability… • Need to be able to differentiate offerings and integrate additional services

  6. Open Source Advantages • Leverage the work of a growing community of developers • Works across multiple hardware infrastructure • Possible to deploy at service providers and on-premise • Customized to fit individual needs or to add additional services

  7. What is OpenStack? • Originated at NASA, with Rackspace • Driven by an open community process • Three existing projects: • OpenStack Compute • OpenStack Image Service • Open Object Storage • Multiple hypervisors: Xen, KVM, ESXi, Hyper-V • Releases: • Austin: Oct 2010 • Bexar: Feb 2011 • Cactus: April 2011: Current • Diablo: scheduled for Sept 2011 OpenStack Compute (VMs & VM Networks) OpenStack Image Service (Image Library & Management) OpenStack Object Store (Storage)

  8. OpenStack Community – 60+ companies

  10. Cisco’s Participation in OpenStack • Interest • Support customers interested in OpenStack • Contribute to and learn from the community • Advance the state of the art in cloud computing • What Cisco contributes • Networking expertise, internet experience • Industry support • Designs and Code • Work to date • OpenStack running on Cisco Unified Computing System • Networking Service blueprint • More to come

  11. Time To Let Developers Design Virtual Network Topologies Former SunCloud user screen

  12. Network Service as a peer to Compute and Storage Compute Service (VMs, Memory, Local Disk) Storage Services (Block, Massive Key-value store) Network Services (Subnets, Network Svcs, Security) Network APIs Networks Servers Disks Developer API User and System Admin

  13. Pre-summit OpenStack Networking Blueprints NetworkService Citrix/Rackspace/Nicira NetworkService Rackspace/Nicira NetworkServicePOC NTT/Midokura NetworkContainers Cisco NaaS Core Design Intel Unified Plan

  14. Quantum – Network Service • API gives ability to create interesting network topologies. • Example: create multi-tier applications • Provide way to connect multiple Openstackservices. • Example: Nova VM + Atlas LB on same private network. • Open the floodgates to let anyone build services that plug into Openstack networks. • Examples: VPN-aaS, firewall-aaS, IDS-aaS. • Allows innovation plugins that overcomes common cloud networking problems • Example: avoid VLAN limits, provide strong QoS

  15. Quantum – Extensibility Quantum API API Extensions • Quantum Service • L2 network abstraction definition and management • Device and service attachment framework • Does NOT do any actual implementation of abstraction • Vendor/User Plug-In • Maps abstraction to implementation on physical network • Makes all decisions about *how* a network is implemented • Can provide additional features through API extensions Quantum Plug-in API

  16. Open Stack: A Platform for Innovation “I want to report on my customers SLAs” “My UI will be easier to use” “I’ll build in a way to share revenue with my customer’s” “I need a different VM placement policy” “I let my customers span multiple clouds” “I have a much better way to snapshot machine images”
