WHAT IS OPENSTACK?

OPENSTACK CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE FOR CLOUD-ENABLED WORKLOADS

l Modular architecture

l Designed to easily scale out

l Based on (growing) set of core services

IS OPENSTACK A “CLOUD OPERATING SYSTEM”?

OPENSTACK

l  Needs to access x86 hardware resources

l  Needs an operating environment, hypervisor, services

l  Leverages existing code libraries for functionality

OPENSTACK

l  It is dependent on the underlying Linux...

RED HAT'S OPENSTACK LEADERSHIP

Just in, Red Hat is the leader once again in Ice House!

RED HAT'S OPENSTACK LEADERSHIP WHY DO THESE STATISTICS MATTER?

l  Proof that Red Hat has skills, resources to:

l  Support customers

l  Drive new features

l  Influence strategy and direction of project

l  Enable partner collaboration

l  Wide ranging participation, contrasts with most others who are more narrowly focused

l  RHEL-OSP is an enterprise-grade distribution with ecosystem, lifecycle, and support that customers expect from Red Hat

So back to the original theme:

The differences between OpenStack and a cloud management platform

l  Delivers an Open Cloud Management Platform that Supports Heterogeneous Private, Public and Hybrid Clouds

l  Enables Evolution from Proprietary Infrastructures to Open, Hybrid Clouds

l  Enables IT to Deliver IAAS and Broker Cloud Services, Optimize Resources and Reduce Costs

l  Manages Service Deployment across Hybrid Clouds Using Policies, SLAs and Cost

l  Provides Rich Integration into Existing Enterprise Management Systems and Processes

l  Eliminates Proprietary Cloud Management Tool Vendor Lock-In

AUTOMATING IT PROCESS Protect Environment – Stop VM if it Breaks Policy

Sample Rule: Every Windows VM must have McAfee v2.0 installed

l Users only see conforming VMs/Workloads l Non-conforming VMs preventing from running l Policy breach notifications sent automatically l Tagging certain items allows one to apply policies to only tagged items

CloudForms Integrations

Did you hear? Red Hat just announced that CloudForms has been open sourced

Why Open Source CloudForms?

●  It's Red Hat DNA – market expects open-source from Red Hat

●  Red Hat is first to open-source a Cloud Management Platform

●  Provides an alternative to traditional proprietary management platforms

●  History proves an enterprise acceptance of open source and is pervasive throughout IT architectures (RHEL, JBoss, Satellite, even RHEV)

●  Innovation in an open-source model can out pace proprietary vendors – more engineers, more partners = better code

●  Who do you expect to build better integration to other infrastructure components? – proprietary vendor engineers OR partner's engineers for those other infrastructure components (ie NetApp, Cisco, HP, Dell, ServiceNow...)

Open Source Community Structure
