• OpenStack: open source software for building highly scalable public and private clouds

• Designed as a set of services forming the basis of a cloud platform

• Evolving through community process in which all members may contribute

• Quantum is a community project to build a “Network Service” for advanced networking capabilities

+ Quantum

Open Source Is Where “Standard” Cloud Infrastructure Will Be Defined

Open standards [require] multiple providers, access to code and data, and interoperability of services.

The obvious solution is an open source reference model as the standard.

Potential examples of such would be the OpenStack effort.

-Simon Wardley, CSCFrom “A Question of Standards”

Current Cloud Computing model is great for application development, self-service, and automation, but is missing the potential programmability of the infrastructure

• Applications and infrastructure could interact with each other to provide the best performance, experience and reliability

• What is missing is the right mechanism to expose networking infrastructure capabilities without bringing all the complexity into the application layer

Compute service (EC2): virtual machines- Specify vCPU, Memory, Disk- Launch instance (image, mem_size, disk)- Suspend, clone, migrate

Storage service (S3, EBS): virtual disks- Specify storage amount, access rights- Store object- Create/attach block

• What to do about networks?

Networking is embedded inside of Nova compute, and un-accessible to application developers

Details and differences associated with network provisioning complicates a simple compute service

Difficult to track changes in networking as Software-defined Networking (SDN) comes into play

Servers are virtualized through partitioning

Storage through aggregation

Networks through slicing/tunnels/tagging…

Networks are a shared resource carrying traffic for all tenants across shared links

Network overlays and virtualization create private networks through tagging, routing, encapsulation (tunneling), and separation of control (openflow, etc.)- VLANS, NVGRE, VXLAN, STT, LISP

Quantum is designed to support private networks

Page 16: Quantum: What it is and Where its going Lew Tucker VP/CTO Cloud Computing Cisco Systems, Inc. @lewtucker.

Create multiple, virtual, isolated networks per tenant (FE-Net, DB-Net)

Multiple network interfaces per VM (in-line services)

Create ports on networks (QoS, profiles) and attach VM’s

Have control over your own “private” IP addresses

Access through a user-friendly CLI and GUI (Horizon)

Invoke additional capabilities through extensions

Support different underlying networking implementations (VLANS, L2/L3 tunnels, etc.)

Keep it simple - hide complexity while exposing capabilities

Provision their own, abstracted networking resources and topologies

Potential to create their own networking services

Isolation and non-interference

Ability to experiment while leveraging all that is provided by lower-level protocols

Purposely started simple with basic abstraction, but with many blueprints expect to see rapid innovation, while maintaining backward compatibility

More plug-in’s for other networking paradigms

Extensions for QoS, port profiles, etc.

Used in the development of new network services

Applied to create virtual data centers spanning multiple sites

New uses in network service provider networks, mobile networks, sensor networks, HPC networks
