  1. OpenStack Icehouse ReleaseApril 17, 2014

  2. “OpenStack has crossed the threshold and will become another de facto IaaS standard before the end of the year, when OpenStack compatibility will be a must, not a nice-to-have.”Source: Forrester Research, Inc., State Of Cloud Platform Standards: Q1 2014, March 2014

  3. OpenStack Icehouses Technology Themes • Testing for drivers and upgrades • Rolling upgrades with no downtime • Easier to manage, reliability and consistency across services • Innovation happening through the incubation process • Operator-Driven Updates Mature Integrated Release • Object Storage discoverability and replication options (s-sync) • Block Storage horizontal scalability • Data layer performance improvements for large deployments Efficiency at Scale • Boot process reliability across platform services • Consistency across services Tighter Platform Integration

  4. Key Themes Across the Community • Voice of the user continues to shape software • Users contribute code for real world use cases to solve issues they see day to day • New opportunities for users to influence roadmap • Many users finding the right path to adoption for their business • One size does not fit all: that’s why OpenStack is the right choice for so many • Vibrant ecosystem offers everything from escalation support and training to packaged distributions, turn-key deployment and public cloud services • Testing/Reliability requirements continue to rise • Rigorous testing now a requirementacross projects • Strict criteria to be part of the integrated release, need test coverage and CI

  5. How Icehouse Delivers What Users Want User requests Icehouse delivers

  6. Key Growth Stats

  7. New Features by Category

  8. Compute • Improved upgrade support • Rolling upgrades • No impact to user workloads • Testing requirements enhanced • All included third-party drivers fully tested • Upgrade testing for all contributions • Other updates • Improved scheduler performance • Boot process reliability across platform services • More features exposed to end users via API updates, such as ability to target machines by affinity • More efficient access to data layer; improves performance, especially at scale

  9. Storage • Object Storage • Discoverability: major update, ability to ask any Object Storage cloud what capabilities are available • New replication process significantly improves performance; data is more efficiently transported through new s-sync (instead of r-sync) • Major storage policies feature in progress and coming in Juno • Block Storage • Backend migration with tiered storage environments, allowing for performance management in heterogeneous environments • Testing for external drivers to ensure API consistency across storage platforms • Scalability improvements with fully distributed services

  10. Networking • Tighter integration with Compute • State managed across Compute and Networking provisioning actions • Improved consistency with instance creation • Driver testing and cross-service testing • Better functional testing for actions that require coordination between multiple services • Third-party driver testing ensures consistency and reliability across network implementations • Focus on scale and feature parity with nova-network • Both networking options still available

  11. Shared Services • Identity service: Federated authentication with the addition of Shibboleth • Orchestration: Ability to delegate full range of Orchestration capabilities to users; additional native autoscaling resources available; alignment of OASIS TOSCA standard with HOT Orchestration  • Telemetry:Rest API to access stored events implemented • Dashboard: Design updated and user experience improvements (e.g. in-line editing); now supports 16 languages with the addition of Serbian, Hindi and German in the Icehouse release • Database Service: New capability included in the integrated release, allows management of relational database services in an OpenStack environment

  12. Looking forward to the next release: Juno • The OpenStack model encourages innovation around a stable integrated release. Looking forward to Juno, coming in October 2014: • Incubated projects • Bare metal (Ironic) • Data Processing (Sahara) • Messaging (Marconi)

  13. AppendixOpenStack Cloud Platform Detail

  14. “Software is eating the world” - The Enterprise Shift • Software is now strategic to all companies. Successful enterprises must become tech companies regardless of industry type, or they’ll go the way of the dinosaur. • This changes everything. How software is produced & consumed, as well as the talent war, because you can’t buy strategy in a box. • Moving at the speed of cloud means minutes instead of months to provision app resources. • OpenStack is an enabling technology for the shift, but also is a diverse community with an open design process which welcomes users to set the roadmap. • The Icehouse release reflects this trend.

  15. OpenStack Cloud Platform

  16. OpenStack Innovation Model Greater OpenStack Ecosystem Incubated Projects Integrated Release Works with projects in greater Ecosystem Applied & Accepted by TC • On the road to the integrated release • Typically takes 18-24 months before being approved for graduation • Approved for Incubation by the Technical Committee • More stringent requirements for incubation approved by TC Graduation • The software is released every 6 months • Technical Committee managed + Release Manager & PTLs • Wide range of related open source projects • Some may apply for incubation • Many will never apply. Supporting Programs Shared infrastructure and resources for OpenStack projects 16
