64. 64
Building a cloud
Things to think about before you make the jump
Authentication Backend
Hypervisor(s)
Storage
‒ Compute – on-node vs off-node, shared vs individual
‒ Block Storage - Local vs Network
‒ Object Storage – Ceph/Swift/none
Networking
‒ 1 GB vs 10 GB, bonded vs individual data paths
‒ How public is your cloud?
‒ HTTP vs HTTPS
‒ Determine appropriate subnets
65. 65
SUSE Cloud Identity
OpenStack “Keystone”
• Central directory of users for OpenStack services
• Common authentication system
• Integrates with existing directories like LDAP
‒ eDirectory, Active Directory
‒ openLDAP
• Supports multiple forms of authentication
66. 66
SUSE Cloud Image Service
OpenStack “Glance”
• Delivery service for the images
• Ability to copy, snapshot and store images
• Stored images can be used as a template
• Move images between object storage and compute
nodes
• API available to gather information about the
images
• One-click application deployment from SUSE Studio
67. 67
SUSE Cloud Compute
OpenStack “Nova”
• Hypervisor (KVM, Xen)
‒ As of SUSE Cloud 1.0 choosing more than one hypervisor is not supported.
‒ Hyper-V, VMware planned in future
• Device for nova-volume storage volume group
‒ Runs on Controller
‒ Make sure you have enough disk space
• Security Attributes (HTTP, HTTPS)
• Nova-multi-controller
‒ Distributing and scheduling the instances
• Nova-multi-compute
‒ Provides the hypervisor and tools needed to manage
instances
68. 68
SUSE Cloud Dashboard
OpenStack “Horizon”
• Graphical interface for administrators and users
• Provides
‒ Access
‒ Provisioning
‒ Automation
• Built to be extensible for third-party products
(billing, monitoring)
• Provides OpenStack API and EC2 compatibility API
69. 69
SUSE Cloud Storage Concepts
Ephemeral Storage
• Used for running operating system and scratch
space
• Accessed via a file system
• Accessible from within a VM
• Managed by SUSE Cloud Compute
• Persists until VM is terminated
• Sizing is determined by known flavors defined by
the administrator
• Typically you can have a 10GB first disk and 30GB
second disk
70. 70
SUSE Cloud Storage Concepts
Block Storage
• Used for adding additional persistent storage to a
VM
• Accessed via a block device, which can be
partitioned formatted and mounted.
• Accessible from within a VM
• Managed by SUSE Cloud Block Storage (Cinder)
• Persists until its deleted by the user
• Sizing is specified by user in initial request
• Typically you could request any size block device
for your use case
71. 71
SUSE Cloud Storage Concepts
Object Storage
• Used for storing data, including VM images
• Accessed via a REST API
• Accessible from anywhere
• Managed by SUSE Cloud Object Storage (swift)
• Persists until its deleted by the user
• Sizing determined by amount of available storage
• Typically you would have 10s of Tbs of dataset
storage
72. 72
SUSE Cloud Object Storage
OpenStack “Swift”
• Redundant storage system
• Objects and files are written to multiple disks
spread to different servers in the data center
• Scales horizontally
• Content replication to all active nodes
• Integrates with SUSE Cloud Identity, and works
with SUSE Cloud Dashboard interface
• Commodity / Inexpensive
73. 73
SUSE Cloud Block Storage
OpenStack “Cinder”
• Persistent block level storage
• Manages creating attaching and detaching of block
devices for VMs
• Integrated into OpenStack Compute allowing users
to manage their own storage from the Dashboard
• Supports a variety of storage solutions through
vendor provided plug-ins
• Provides snapshot management
• Also includes Ceph (Tech Preview)
74. 74
SUSE Cloud Object and Block Storage
Ceph Project
• Ceph Overview
‒ Unified cloud storage ‒ object and block in a
single system
‒ An alternative for Swift, integrated with SUSE
Cloud Block Storage (Cinder)
• SUSE Cloud and Ceph
‒ Native Cinder block provider for object, image
and volume storage
‒ Integrates with Nova for provisioning
‒ ReSTful API
‒ SUSE Cloud Technical Preview
75. 75
SUSE Cloud Object and Block Storage
Considerations
Your Choice
‒ Do my users need block storage?
‒ Do my users need object storage?
‒ Do I need to support live migration?
Object Storage (Swift)
‒ Unified authentication for compute and object storage
‒ Control your object storage with the dashboard
‒ More mature project
Ceph
‒ Greater flexibility of data distribution and replication strategies.
‒ Fast provisioning of boot-from-volume instances
‒ Manage your object and block storage within a single system
