Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform and Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure provide cloud solutions for both traditional and cloud-enabled workloads. Red Hat brings support, stability, certification of hardware and software partners, and long lifecycles to OpenStack. Red Hat OpenStack Platform delivers the benefits of OpenStack with the enterprise qualities expected from Red Hat. It provides a path for customers to adopt OpenStack and hybrid cloud while continuing to run traditional applications on their existing infrastructure.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux allows us to sustain the performance and high level of service that we currently
provide to our students.
—MARK WEIGEL, Lead UNIX Team, Unviversity of Oklahoma IT Department

14. Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform
Why do these stasistics matter?
●
Proof that Red Hat has skills, resources to:
●
●
Influence strategy and direction of project
●
●
Drive new features
●
●
Support customers
Enable partner collaboration
Wide ranging participation, contrasts with most others who are
more narrowly focused
RHEL-OSP is an enterprise-grade distribution with ecosystem,
lifecycle, and support that customers expect from Red Hat

15. Where does OpenStack fit in?

16. HOW DO WE GET FROM
COMMUNITY OPENSTACK TO
RED HAT OPENSTACK?

17. OpenStack Progression
●
●
●
●
●
●
Open source, communitydeveloped (upstream) software
Founded by Rackspace Hosting
and NASA
Managed by the OpenStack
Foundation
Vibrant group of developers
collaborating on open source
cloud infrastructure
●
●
●
●
●
Software distributed under the
Apache 2.0 license
●
No certifications, no support
●
Latest OpenStack software,
packaged in a managed
open source community
●
●
Facilitated by Red Hat
Aimed at architects and
developers who want to
create, test, collaborate
●
Freely available, not for sale
●
Six-month release cadence
mirroring community
●
No certification, no support
Installs on Red Hat and
derivatives
●
●
Enterprise-hardened
OpenStack software
Delivered with an enterprise
life cycle
Six-month release cadence
offset from community
releases to allow testing
Aimed at long-term production
deployments
Certified hardware and
software through the Red Hat
OpenStack Cloud
Infrastructure Partner
Network
Supported by Red Hat
Installs on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux only

18. PRODUCT RELEASE CADENCE
●
RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX OPENSTACK PLATFORM
●
6 month cadence
●
Roughly 2 months AFTER upstream
●
●
Initially 1 year lifecycle
●
●
Time to stabilize, certify, backport etc.
Will increase lifecycle over time based on upstream
stability and customer requirements
Hardware and application certifications from RHEL carry
over to RHEL OpenStack Platform
●
Consistent ecosystem of partners

19. Why Red Hat OpenStack?
●
Red Hat brings what OpenStack really needs...
●
Supportability
●
Stability & Code Maturity
●
Certified Ecosystem
●
Lifecycle
●
Support for the entire stack from one vendor
●
●
Stable, mature and trusted Linux Operating System
●
Secure, high performance virtualisation
●
Storage
●
19
OpenStack Components
Software Defined Networking

20. Why certifications are important ? (1)
●
Users/Customers will run third party
applications & Softwares which will be
supported by their vendors only on Certified
OS :
●
●
20
MS Windows Server
Red Hat Enterprise Linux

21. Why certifications are important ? (2)
●
MS Windows Server & Red Hat Enterprise Linux
are supported by Microsoft and Red Hat only
on Certified Hardware and Hypervisors :
●
●
RHEV-H (Kvm)
●
21
VMware ESX/vCenter
Microsoft HyperV

22. Why certifications are important ? (3)
●
22
Certified Hypervisors (VMware ESX/vCenter,
RHEV-H (Kvm), Microsoft HyperV) are only
supported on Certified Hardware physical
Servers

23. Why certifications are important ? (4)
●
●
●
●
So if you run a non certified hypervisor with your
OpenStack, you will have no support from hardware
vendors, OS vendors, and Application & thrid party
software vendors !!
 select & use an OpenStack Platform with a Certified
Hypervisor
 RHEV-H (kvm) is certified on RHEL, MS Windows
Server, Physical HW Servers
 select RHEL OpenStack Platform which include
RHEV-H (kvm)
(and other certified Hypervisor support will be announced shortly...)

24. WHAT IF MY WORKLOADS ARE
MOSTLY TRADITIONAL?

25. VIRTUALIZATION AND CLOUD ARE CONVERGING
BARE METAL
VIRTUALIZATION BASED
PRIVATE CLOUD
CLOUD-ENABLED PUBLIC
AND PRIVATE CLOUDS
TRADITIONAL APPS
CLOUD APPS
CHASM
SCALE-UP ARCHITECTURE
SCALE-OUT ARCHITECTURE

26. BRING THEM TOGETHER WITH AN OPEN PRIVATE
CLOUD SOLUTION
UNIFIED CLOUD MANAGEMENT
TRADITIONAL APPS
CLOUD APPS
OPEN HYBRID CLOUD
SCALE-UP ARCHITECTURE
SCALE-OUT ARCHITECTURE
MULTIPLE HETEROGENEOUS RESOURCE POOLS
TRADITIONAL AND CLOUD APPLICATION MODELS

27. Three major issues with traditional architecture...
●
Our data is too large
●
●
●
We're producing vast amounts of data, exponentially!
Way past the ability of traditional systems &
applications
Service requests are too large
●
●
●
More and more client devices coming online
Much harder to maintain service to customers
Applications weren't written to cope with demand

28. A different kind of architecture...
TRADITIONAL WORKLOADS
●
●
●
●
●
Stateful virtual machines
Big VMs: vCPU, vRAM, local storage
inside VM
Application SLA aligned to VM itself
Relies on underlying HA technology to
meet SLA goals
CLOUD WORKLOADS
●
●
●
●
VMs scale up: add vCPU, vRAM, etc.
●
●
Applications not designed to tolerate
failure of VMs
●
Stateless VMs, application distributed
Small VMs: vCPU, vRAM, storage
separate
Application SLA not dependent on any
one VM
Many instances can provide application
availability
Applications scale out: add more VMs
Applications designed to tolerate
failure of VMs

29. Or an easier analogy...
PETS =
TRADITIONAL WORKLOADS
●
Pets are given names like
●
FARM ANIMALS =
CLOUD WORKLOADS
rover.internal.redhat.com
●
●
They are unique, lovingly hand
raised and cared for
When they get ill you nurse
them back to health
Credit : Tim Bell @ CERN Labs, Bill Baker @ Microsoft, and others
●
●
●
Farm animals have tag
numbers like
piggie242.redhat.com
They are almost identical to
each other
When they get ill you get
another one

30. Where does OpenStack fit in?
OpenStack provides an elastic
cloud platform for these new
workloads

31. Typical OpenStack Use Cases
●
Service provider offering
●
●
Internal cloud offering
●
●
Re-sell compute, networking and storage resources as a new
cloud provider to other organisations
“Infrastructure-on-demand” service for internal customers
Large-scale web applications or content farms
●
Dynamically scale based on load
●
e.g. Netflix, PayPal, eBay

32. OpenStack is not a replacement for
enterprise virtualisation

33. RED HAT CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE

34. MANAGE TRADITIONAL WORKLOADS ON
MIXED INFRASTRUCTURE
●
SCENARIO:
●
●
●
●
●
SOLUTION:
●
DEPLOYMENT:
Investment in VMware vSphere
Want to extend virtualization
footprint at lower cost
Want additional private cloud
functionality without locking in
to a single-vendor stack
Planning to use OpenStack in
future
