‣ Cooling reduce
‣ Fast provisioning
‣ Resource consolidation
‣ Reduced Data Center TCO
‣ Increased ROI of projects
Architecture
Authorization service
‣ Defines the polices to system access
‣ Each profile has a specific dashboard to:
‣ Physical resources management
‣ Business resources management
‣ Network resources management
‣ VM administration segmented per project
User requests
‣ Sync calls are used to get informations about:
‣ VMs and Hosts
‣ RRDs to create the performance graphs
‣ Async calls are used to request actions like:
‣ VM creation, shutdown, start, stop
‣ Add host and pool creation
‣ Interact with NetAPI to set LBs and Switches
Queuing engine
‣ Used to async processes
‣ The subscribers work in paralleling process to instance resources in the cloud
‣ The users receive real-time information about the queue consumption
‣ The users can manage the queue stopping, resuming and removing tasks
NetworkAPI
‣ Used to manage network physical resources
‣ Include VLANs in the switch port trunk
‣ Apply ACLs
‣ VIP and reals creation
‣ Maintain the relationship between server and switch ports
‣ Pluggable and vendor agnostic
XAPI Integration
‣ Layer to contact XCP servers
‣ Expose a VNC proxy with SSL and dynamic token authentication to hosts and VMs consoles
‣ Translates all rest-full calls to XML-RPC using xenapi.py
Roadmap
‣ Multi-datacenter support
‣ Integrate with OpenStack project
‣ Expose an API to integrate with internal PaaS and Data Center management system (Energy, Cooling, etc)
‣ Multi storage repository support
‣ Dynamic live-migration and host shutdown/start based in consumption
XCP evolution
‣ Better velocity in XAPI requests
‣ Today, doing many requests in a pool, the performance is harmed
‣ Pool ejection without restart the Host
‣ Inter-pool migration and storage repository shared between pools
‣ Link the object uuid to the task in an async call (need a new field to connect the objects)
‣ Ex: Async.VM.clean_shutdown(vm)
‣ In this case, the task for the async call, has a field with the Vm uuid
‣ Master recover decision enabled in XCP
Open Source
‣ All components used in project orquestra are open source
‣ After executing the roadmap, migrate the project to OpenStack and turn it open source
‣ Help the OpenStack project with our development force
