OpenStack Overview

OpenStackOpen source software to build public and private clouds.

OpenStack Mission

“To produce the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform that will meet the needs of public and private cloud providers regardless of size, by being simple to implement and massively scalable.”

What is OpenStack?

OpenStack is a community of open source developers, participating organizations and users who building and running the open source cloud operating system.

OpenStack Participation‣ 60+ participating organizations

‣ Global Developers: 14 countries at our summit

‣ Global users groups: Japan, Silicon Valley, New York, Egypt, South Korea

‣ Code Releases: ‘Austin’ code release in October, ‘Bexar’ code release coming February 3

OpenStack Support

Why OpenStack?

‣ Control and Flexibility. Open source platform means you’re never locked to a proprietary vendor, and modular design can integrate with legacy or third-party technologies to meet  your business needs.

‣ Industry Standard.  More than 60 leading companies from over a dozen countries are participating in OpenStack, including Cisco, Citrix, Dell, Intel and Microsoft, and new OpenStack clouds are coming online across the globe.

‣ Proven Software.  Run the same software that today powers some of the largest public and private clouds in the world.

‣ Compatible and Connected. Compatibility with public OpenStack clouds means enterprises are prepared for the future—making it easy to migrate data and applications to public clouds when conditions are right—based on security policies, economics, and other key business criteria.

OpenStack Compute OpenStack Object Storage

OpenStack Image Service

OpenStack is an open source cloud operating system used to build massively scalable private and public clouds.

The OpenStack cloud operating system is designed to instantly provision Compute and Storage resources, and also features an Image Service to store frequently used images and share amongst users in a public image marketplace.

‣ Pluggable authentication for easy integration

‣ Wide variety of language bindings for integrating

OpenStack Object Storage

What is OpenStack Image Service? OpenStack Image Service provides discovery, registration, and delivery services for virtual disk images. The Image Service API server provides a standard REST interface for querying information about virtual disk images stored in a variety of back-end stores, including OpenStack Object Storage. Clients can register new virtual disk images with the Image Service, query for information on publicly available disk images, and use the Image Service's client library for streaming virtual disk images.A multi-format image registry, OpenStack Image Service allows uploads of private and public images in a variety of formats, including:

‣ RawMachine (kernel/ramdisk outside of image, a.k.a. AMI)

‣ VHD (Hyper-V)

‣ VDI (VirtualBox)

‣ qcow2 (Qemu/KVM)

‣ VMDK (VMWare)

‣ OVF (VMWare, others)

Image Service Key Features‣ Confgured to use standard command line and confguration option

processing, making use of paste.deploy confguration

‣ Registry database is under version control, with migration fles allowing upgrade and downgrade of the registry database.

‣ Versatile combination of "disk format" and "container format" felds, allowing more than just EC2-style image formats to be stored in the registry

‣ New command line tool that allows user to interact with Image Service -- add and update images and image attributes, see public images, delete images, etc.

‣ Support for checksumming images added to the server to verify image integrity

‣ Extensive logging functionality to both the API and Registry servers, including the ability to confgure logging separately from other options using Python's standard logging module confguration fles

‣ A functional test suite that starts and stops actual Glance servers and executes commands against those servers from the new command line client as well as a cURL client
