#whoami

• Recovering Sysadmin

• F/LOSS contributor

• Committer on Apache CloudStack

Assumptions

• You have a need for an IaaS compute cloud platform

• You know what ‘IaaS’ and ‘cloud’ mean

Massively scalable

• Scalable - this is the easy part

• Massively - this part is much harder - getting to thousands of physical hosts is complex - getting to tens of thousands of physical hosts is a completely different magnitude of problem.

So I have some questions

Built for traditional enterprise apps & client-server compute

• Scale-up (pool-based resourcing)• IT management-centric • 1 administrator for 100’s of servers• Proprietary vendor stack

Designed around big data, massive scale & next-gen apps

• Scale-out (horizontal resourcing)• Autonomic management • 1 administrator for 1,000’s of servers• Open, value-added stack

Virtualization alone does not make a cloud

CloudStack Overview

• CloudStack is an open source Infrastructure-as –a-Service (IaaS) orchestration platform that enables users to build, manage and deploy compute cloud environments.

• CloudStack was recently donated by Citrix to the Apache Software Foundation and is currently undergoing incubation.

What is Apache CloudStack?

• CloudStack offers an administrator's Web interface, used for provisioning and managing the cloud, as well as an end-user's Web interface, used for running VMs and managing VM templates.

• The UI can be customized to reflect the desired service provider or enterprise look and feel.

Graphical User Interface

• CloudStack Web Services Query HTTP API is loosely based on the REST architecture and allows developers to create new management solutions or integrate existing systems with CloudStack. It supports output in both XML and JSON.

• EC2/S3 support (translation layer) is also present.

CloudStack Infrastructure - Overview

• CloudStack provides a number of ‘infrastructure’ pieces, external to the management server that provide scalable services.

• Secondary Storage (SSVM)

• Console Proxy (CPVM)

• Virtual Router (VR or domR)

Secondary Storage

• Secondary Storage - provides storage for machine images and snapshots

• Secondary Storage VM - provides stateless and scalable management and interaction with Secondary Storage.

Console Proxy• Hypervisors provide access to

the ‘console’ of a virtual machine generally via VNC.

• Accessing it requires direct access to the hypervisor - including credentials into the hypervisor directly.

• CPVM proxies access to the VNC session and provides access control so that others can’t get access.

• Automatically scales to handle demand of console sessions.

• Provides an AJAX interface that is usable on virtually any device.

Virtual router

• Lowest common denominator (so far) is a virtual machine.

• Provides a number of services

• DHCP

• Routing

• DNS

• Loadbalancing

• Firewall

• NAT

Deployment Architectures

Deployment Architecture

• The architecture used in a deployment will vary depending on the size and purpose of the deployment.

• From a small-scale deployment useful for dev/test and PoC deployments• To a fully-redundant large-scale setup for production deployments.

Making it all scale

Thinking about cloud orchestration at scale

• Host management• Capacity management• What host to use to deploy a

new VM• Failure handling• Security group propaga3on• Set a goal

CPU utilization while deploying 30,000 VMs on 30,000 hostsC

20,000

Deploy time from 25,000 to 30,000 VMsS

VM number: 25,000 plus X

Storage at scale

• Storage is cluster specific (typically 8-16 nodes)

• Scaling out with SAN typically doesn’t do a good job - some new gen stuff helps, but still a daunting problem to keep up IO when you get to thousands of nodes.

• Distributed filesystems - they are better...but....

• Local storage - failure prone, but cheap, and scales easily with the number of nodes.
