Our mission:Build and manage Linux servers. Servers can
be traditional ones or using cloud ones from some cloud services such as Amazon AWS.
Main objectives:- Build servers (app, db or any kind of servers)
ready for deploy- Research methods to deploy source code to
servers- Monitor servers- Auto scaling
Session1: Build public or private cloud using
Openstack
● Difficulty: Hard● Applicable: Yes (but not trivial) ● Target environment: inside company to
support general developments (e.g. use as staging servers, QA test environment)

Agenda
The OpenStack Open Source Cloud Mission:
To produce the ubiquitous Open Source Cloud Computing platform that will meet the needs of public and private clouds regardless of size, by being simple to implement and massively scalable.
What is Openstack• Written in:
Python2• License: Apache
2.0• Founded by: NASA
& Rackspace on 2010
• Compatible with Amazon EC2 & S3
• Supporting: VMware, Xen, Hyper-V...
• Control and Flexibility • Scalability • Open Industry Standard • Openness and Compatibility • Flexible Technology

Why Openstack
• Service providers offering an IaaS compute platform or services higher up the stack (e.g. Rackspace)
• IT departments acting as cloud service providers for business units and project teams (any company)
• Processing big data with tools like Hadoop (NSA)• Scaling compute up and down to meet demand for web
resources and applications (service companies)• High-performance computing (HPC) environments processing
diverse and intensive workloads (CERN)
Use cases
Build QA test environment::Results• To provide isolation, each test environment runs in a separate tenant, or project. For
example, there’s one project for the test team, one for the consultant team, and so on.
• Heat templates enable rapid creation of new environments. The test team can create new Heat templates on its own.
• Self-service is provided with OpenStack CLI/Horizon and Heat templates.
• Total cost of the OpenStack solution is lower, because the company doesn’t have to pay for licenses, and can use commodity software and hardware.
• The test team owns their test environments. They can create and delete environments anytime they need to.
• OpenStack lets IT set up quotas for each project. OpenStack’s Ceilometer component can be used for monitoring resource consumption of cloud instances, as well.
Use cases (cont.)
Option 1: Use public clouds (e.g. tryStack.org for free)
Option 2: Using DevStack.org (mostly for Openstack development env)Option 3: Install by yourself
How to test/setup Openstack
Option 3: Install by yourself• Using Chef + Vagrant (with devstack
or multi-nodes) • Install directly (using official guides)• Using juju charms (ubuntu cloud
service) (ubuntu only) (https://jujucharms.com/sidebar/search/?text=openstack)
How to test/setup Openstack
Option 3: Install by yourself
• Using Chef + Vagrant with multi-nodes (try vagrantcloud.com!)
How to test/setup Openstack
• Setup Openstack (without Heat)• Manage Openstack services using
Ruby gem “openstack” (a.k.a ruby-openstack)
• Build sample Rails project that using Openstack Swift to store uploaded photos.
What we have done so far
• Setup Openstack (without Heat)Intel Core i5-2320 @ 3.0GHzRAM: 8GHDD: 500GBOS: CentOSVirtualization: QEMU
URL: http://192.168.1.107login: framgia/framgia
What we have done so far
Sample Rails app: Framgia Picture Show
Goals: Upload and store photos to Openstack Swift
• Rails 4• Carrierwave• Openstack Swift (via Fog gem)
Demo
- Laptop core i5 is too slow to run (but desktop with the same core is OK :( )
- Understanding the whole stack takes time!
Difficulties during research
• Implement Openstack frastructure is not trivial mission
• But it would be worthy in the future when we build large scale web apps
• So we hope to use at step by step, start from development environment
• Because future of IT would be in the... cloud
