This 2nd major State of the Stack address is a complete refresh of the spring 2013 edition, broadcast live on BrightTALK from the OpenStack Summit in Hong Kong. (Replay: https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/10353/92159) Randy Bias, CEO and Co-founder of Cloudscaling examines the progress from Grizzly to Havana and delves into new areas like refstack, tripleO, bare metal server provisioning, the move from "projects" to "programs", and public/hybrid cloud compatibility. Check out the updated statistics on project momentum and look more closely at big upgrades in Havana, including OpenStack Orchestrate (Heat), which has the opportunity to change the game for OpenStack in the greater private and hybrid cloud game. We also discuss the "what is 'core'" debate and examine the idea that OpenStack is a kernel, not a complete cloud OS.

4. My Bias
I run an OpenStack product company
... opinions expressed here are mine
Not the foundation, not the community, just one POV
I believe the pioneers to emulate are:
I have run big data centers
100K+ sq ft, 1,000s of physical servers, 100s of switches

18. Regular Release Cycle
Every 6 months, we coordinate & integrate:
Thousands of patches & commits
Across hundreds of developers
While also increasing # of projects
In last 3 yrs: grew from 2 to 9 “integrated” or “core” projects
+4 more new projects in “incubation” as of Havana
No other related project is capable of this
No other related project has this many
capabilities or is this complex

53. Brief Word On the Architecture
Bi-furcated set of services
Some pluggable, some monolithic
Some distributed, some much less so
Some inherently HA, some not
Pluggable, distributed services use RPC
Internal RPC mechanism is (a)sync message passing
Allows remote method invocation (as expected)

Dan Sneddon (@dxs)
Joseph Glanville (@jpgvm)
54

57. Caveat Emptor
The focus for these diagrams was ease of
reading, not accuracy.
See Ken Pepple’s originals or the code if you need truth.
That being said, our team tried really hard for accuracy.
Blame me for any errors.

60. OpenStack Compute (Nova)
58

61. Compute Thoughts
Nova still runs best w/ KVM
Do we need another hypervisor? What’s the biz case?
ESX support is a mess
Multiple Availability Zones still not solved
Cells are for making one AZ bigger
complex, tight-coupling
We need a clean sharding mechanism for AZes
also what about Cinder and Neutron?
Cinder/Neutron integr. needs examining
More information needs to be able to be passed back
59

62. Compute (Networking) Thoughts
nova-network still required
Neutron has been L2 focused & L3 gap still exists
centralized “single-host” networking is #fail
decentralized “multi-host” is more #fail
nova-conductor security for hypervisor obviated
metadata-api, nova-network, or Neutron on all HVs?
security implications
reconciling Neutron and nova-network?
Neutron needs more L3 capability, but ...
do we always want Neutron in every deployment?
60

63. OpenStack Block Storage (Cinder)
61

64. Block Storage Thoughts
Default “nova-volume” func. is too minimal
When people think Block Storage service they assume:
Persistent, Network-based, & Performant - it isn’t
Cinder scheduler needs info from Nova
Assuming you want to do anything interesting
Point of lock-in since default isn’t useful
You have to place a bet on a block storage solution
These are expensive, experimental or proprietary
Rely on vendor not community to help w/ problems
62

65. OpenStack Networking (Neutron)
63

66. Networking Thoughts
Default networking functionality is minimal
The APIs have been L2-centric
L3 functionality is same as existed with nova-network
Same architecture, same basic layout, with all of the downsides
Needs a Neutron plugin for full func.
Can’t run more than one plugin at a time per function
Not clear how many production deployments there are:
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-operators/2013-September/
003584.html
Good news is that this area is hot
So hopefully this is unstuck soon
64

67. OpenStack Object Storage (Swift)
65

68. Object Storage Thoughts
Strength: massive concurrency, proven scale
Swift needs additional attention
Too much focus on Nova and Neutron as the “new shiny”
Container replication is a bad hack
Originally most mature of the projects; but has lagged
Good news: area has many new players
Seagate, SwiftStack, RedHat, IBM, eNovance, Mirantis, and HP all deeply involved
Major new features coming:
Global clusters for multi-site replication
Features for prioritized replication
Pluggability for support of DFS like GlusterFS (RedHat)
66

69. OpenStack Image Mgmt (Glance)
67

70. Image Mgmt Thoughts
Still not clear why this is standalone project
Really a sub-function of Compute
Semi-pluggable (but not really)
Uses different backends for image storage
To be really useful it needs more features:
P2V, V2V, and other image conversion
Ability to slipstream PV drivers into images
Convert from popular formats: OVF, AMI, etc.
68

71. OpenStack Identity (Keystone)
69

72. Identity Mgmt Thoughts
Mixed identity / schizophrenia
Verifies identity, authorization, AND service registry
Service registry is one of many
Nova, Cinder, et al have their own internal registries
Slows everything down
See LivingSocial presentation from Folsom Summit
Mitigated with memcache assuming you turn it on
OpenStack needed to reinvent wheel here?
Could have just been LDAP with a schema + caching
70

73. OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon)
Model
Updates
Manipulates
View
Controller
Uses
Sees
User
71

74. Dashboard Thoughts
It’s gotten waaay better!
Same UI for end-user and admin is bad idea
CloudStack did this and it was a mess
The workflows and views are too different
Security considerations exist
General lag: many things aren’t accessible
e.g. Heat, TripleO, Marconi, Trove, etc.
Can be a 6 month cycle time for new feature UI support
Need better docs on extending, w/o harm
Customers, product companies, SPs all want to modify
Allow for customizations, while supporting upgrades, etc.
72

75. OpenStack Metering (Ceilometer)
73

76. Metering Thoughts
Metering systems are hard
Bad or incomplete data for SPs is existential
Metering system should be *very* baked (is 1yr enough?)
No tokenized meter data
Instance hours not enough
How do you bill for Windows, Oracle, RHEL licenses?
Tokens stack: size of instance, OS and app licenses, etc.
Needs to get flow data from edge switches
Netflow and/or Sflow support for physical switches
Data from the vSwitches is not the best source in the real world
74

77. OpenStack Orchestration (Heat)*
* Source: http://www.slideshare.net/dbelova/openstack-heat-slides
75

78. Orchestration Thoughts
Huge potential
Adds additional AWS func: CloudWatch, CloudFormation
Provides clean templates for stacks, which means:
OpenStack on OpenStack (OoO) for testing, etc.
First primary project that rides “on top”
Clear differentiator over other projects
Initiative: Heat templates for Ref Arch
Vendors, customers, etc. could feed to prov systems:
Crowbar, Piston, Cloudscaling, etc.
76

79. SWOT: OpenStack
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
De facto winner
Incredible community
Mature SDLC
Mini-benevolent dictators in PTLs
Super flexible framework
Can build any kind of cloud
No single benevolent dictator
Interoperability will be difficult
Not impossible, *difficult*
Flexibility limits interoperability
Opportunities:
Threats:
Build an SQL92 base for cloud
compute (see Threats)
refstack
Public cloud compatibility as first
order initiative
AWS, GCE, and vCloud
Hybrid-first strategy
Splintering, fragmentation, and
customization
Customer DIY failures
Flexibility allows you to shoot
yourself in the foot easily
Forking or ivory tower thinking

2) Expand work on refstack & Tempest
Public cloud interoperability & hybrid cloud
3) Embrace & extend existing AWS tests
eutester, aws-compat, OpenStack tempest, NetflixOSS
