Agenda

What is OpenStack?

Overview

• Cloud computing platform for public/private clouds

• Abstracts data centers into pools of resources

• Provides management layer for efficient, automated allocation of resources

• Empowers operators, admins, users via self service portals

• Provides APIs to develop cloud-aware applications

The OpenStack Community

• Over 25,000 developers

• Over 500 companies

• Over 20 million lines of code

• Designed and developed in an open collaborative fashion

• Releases every six months

• Most recent “Mitaka” release:

• 2,300 developers contributed

• 345 companies involved

• 34,000 merged patch sets

OpenStack Adoption Drivers

• APIs, APIs, APIs

• Speed

• Flexibility

• Cost

• Programmatic workflows

• Open and broadly interoperable

Containerized Deployment Using Kolla

Why Containers? Tech Used - Kolla

• Simplify a large complex distributed system

• Increase flexibility through modularity

• Speed of deployment

• Simplified management and troubleshooting

• Production-ready containers and deployment tools to operate OpenStack clouds

• Toolchain to build Docker containers of OpenStack components in a local Docker registry

• Ansible orchestration to deploy containers, validate deployment, and manage system after deployment

Kolla Workflow

Learning Lab Demo: Running OpenStack On Your Laptop

• Available for download from the Cisco DevNet Learning Labs

• Runs a VirtualBox Linux VM

• Inside that Linux VM, runs OpenStack deployed using containers

• Can customize and redeploy if interested in developing OpenStack

• Provides a local OpenStack cloud you can interact with as a developer / operator

Containerized VM Deployment

Prep VirtualBox Get OpenStack

• Download VirtualBox

• Download VirtualBox extensions

• Configure initial networks in VirtualBox

• Download OpenStack OVA

• Import into VirtualBox

• Validate network configurations

• Boot the VM
