Meets Developer’s Needs!
Focus on app development, not
provisioning VMs, databases,
messaging servers, etc!
Agile development model!
Deploy and scale in seconds!
Cloud Foundry Overview
@Animesh Singh @Ferdy @ K_Bankole
!
Open Cloud Platform!
There is an increasing appetite for cloud-based
mobile, social and analytics
applications from line-of-business
executives - drives the need for a more
open cloud development platform!
Compelling Community !
Cloud Foundry has a compelling community
and emerging ecosystem as well as a mature
set of capabilities and robustness!

Cloud Provider Interface for OpenStack
• OpenStack CPI is an implementation of the BOSH CPI.!
• Leverages the Fog Ruby gem for OpenStack!
!
• OpenStack CPI gem (Ruby package), the OpenStack Registry and !
Agents all reside on the Cloud Foundry Bosh repository!

10. Before Deployment – What information we need from OpenStack
OpenStack Summit, Paris November 2014
@Animesh Singh @Ferdy @ K_Bankole
!
We need to get the following from OpenStack to enter in CF manifest!
!
!
!
Keypairs
Flavors
Networks
VM Subnet
DHCP IP
Gateway IP
Security groups
Should this be part of BOSH CPI ?!
!

11. Before Deployment - What all we need to setup on OpenStack?
OpenStack Summit, Paris November 2014
@Animesh Singh @Ferdy @ K_Bankole
!
We need to setup following on OpenStack (If it doesn't exist) :!
!
!
!
!
Create Keypair
Create Flavors
Router, DEA, Cloud
Controller, Service
Nodes
Create Security
Groups
Cf-private, cf-public
Setup tenant quota
Should this be part of BOSH CPI ?!
!

12. OpenStack Summit, Paris November 2014
Before Deployment – We need to create the manifest file
@Animesh Singh @Ferdy @ K_Bankole
!
We need to manually create the manifest file - hard and error prone!
!
!
!
Should this be part of BOSH CPI ?!
!

13. After Deployment – We need to handle lifecycle operations
OpenStack Summit, Paris November 2014
@Animesh Singh @Ferdy @ K_Bankole
!
Most of the lifecycle operations can be handled seamlessly, given that we understand the
current state of IaaS!
!
- Again the capability in BOSH to be able to query the IaaS in a live manner will help make
the transition from deployment to lifecycle operations much easier!
- Operations like changing the number of DEA instances, changing configuration sizes of
Cloud Foundry components, assigning new floating ips to components can all benefit
from a capability to query the live state of IaaS from a capacity perspective.!
- Some update operations do not work, for example assigning a new floating ip fails
because the old IP address needs to be detached first from a VM . We should either
provide an interface to detach floating ips, or a generic pluggable cleanup interface!
!
!

14. Summarizing Design Session Proposal - And Other Ideas ?
BOSH CPI Extension for !
- Querying OpenStack (IaaS) ?!
- Setting up OpenStack (IaaS)?!
- Generating Manifest ?!
- Cleaning up IaaS (e.g detach floating ips while assigning a new one) ?!
Other Ideas ?!
- CF on Docker containers in OpenStack ?!
- External CPI ?!
- Universal stemcell ?!
- Discover Services ?!
- Generate Service Broker templates ?!
!
