SDDC2370 - VMware Integrated OpenStack - VMWorld 2014

In this session, we will provide a comprehensive overview of how vCloud Suite components are integrated to greatly simplify deployment and operations of OpenStack. We will explore how vSphere, NSX and VSAN provide an enterprise grade foundation for the OpenStack cloud. Additionally, we will learn how management tools such as vCenter, vCOPs and LogInsight are integrated with OpenStack to greatly simplify daily operations such as diagnosis, monitoring, patching etc. We will highlight how customers can leverage existing VMware investments and expertise to not only deploy but also easily operate OpenStack without additional expertise.

5. VMware + OpenStack
6. OpenStack Delivers Cloud-Style APIs & Services for Developers CONFIDENTIAL 6 Application DevOps team provision code update scale up/down Scripts / code API calls OpenStack IaaS Cloud app mgmt tool or Workloads Targeted for OpenStack • Primarily new workloads, or “repatriated” applications from a public cloud. Very few Tier-1 workloads (“IT Ops”) • Common examples: • Scale-out SaaS/Web applications, mobile back-ends • Dev/Build/Test, Continuous Integration • Research / batch-processing: data analytics, encoding, simulation, etc. Is OpenStack Interesting for your Private Cloud?
7. Hypervisor Network virtualization Storage Solution Infa Services: API + Driver Infra Consumption Tools Virtualization Technologies 7 Cloud Operations + Managemnet Hardware Technologies Cloud Management Application Mgmt, Financial Reporting… Cloud Operations Monitoring, Diagnostics … Closer Look at OpenStack in Private Cloud OpenStack Needs • Underlying SW/HW Infra Products • Cloud Operations, Mgmt Products Private Cloud Web Portal Compute Services Network Services Storage Services OpenStack APIs/ SDKs CLI Tools OpenStack Framework OpenStack Delivers • Developer Friendly, Cloud Style APIs • Vendor-Neutral Services
8. Hypervisor Web Portal Compute Services Network Services Storage Services OpenStack APIs/ SDKs/ CLIs Network virtualization Storage Solution Cloud Management (Application Mgmt, Financial Reporting …) Cloud Operations (Monitoring, Diagnostics …) OpenStack in VMware Private Cloud Best-of-breed VMware SDDC + OpenStack Cloud Style API & Services NSX ESX & vCenter VSAN/ vSphere Datastores OpenStack in VMware Private Cloud Application/ DevOps Team Cloud Infrastructure Team OpenStack Framework Cloud Management (vCAC, ITBM…) Cloud Operations (vCOPs, LogInsight…)

13. About TradeStation TradeStation Technologies, Inc. offers the TradeStation analysis and trading platform to the active trader and certain institutional trader markets. – The TradeStation platform offers electronic order execution and enables clients to design, test, optimize, monitor and automate their own custom trading strategies. • Equities • Options • Futures • Forex – Total Client Assets (2013) – $3,537,000,000
14. Our Public Cloud Usage Popular Public Cloud Provider • Value – Very little Friction(VM in minutes) – Quickly Scale – OpEx vs CapEx
15. Hosting an Internal IaaS Cloud • Deliver similar value • Increased Security • Engineering use Public Cloud • Power/Cooling per Rack U • SAN Infrastructure (SFPs, Cabling) • Storage per TB • VMware Licensing and Support per Core  Detailed Cost Benefit Analysis Private IaaS Cloud Deliver Similar Value in a Cost Effective Way on Private Cloud.
16. Evaluated Private Cloud Options “Engineering Cloud” – 3 Tier Applications (Web, App, DB) – API – Self Service – Orchestration compatibility with CloudFormation
17. OpenStack • OpenStack (Community Version) – Pros • Orchestration Compatible with CloudFormation – Cons • KVM Hypervisor is not HA – Cloud users should have no perceived downtime • Flat Networking – Applications reside in multiple network segments • No Enterprise Support – Full Stack Support is critical
18. OpenStack, vSphere, NSX • Enterprise Ready – Highly Available • HA/ DRS with vSphere – Rich Networking • Complex Networking Workloads with NSX – Fully Supported • Full Stack Support • One Number to Call Web VM App 1 VM DB VM App 2 VM Protect with HA Optimal Placement with DRS L3 Virtual Router L2 Networking Multiple Isolated L2 Segments
19. High Level Architecture 19 ESX Server • VLAN’s (transport zone) – OpenStack • MGMT – Compute Cluster Gateway VLANs • Internal • Load Balancer • Public Facing • Public IP Addressing – One to one NAT-ing • Nova Compute driver for VMware vCenter – Add capacity either simply add ESX host to cluster – Or add complete new cluster
20. After Deployment Operational Dashboard – Health, Uptime, Errors – Monitoring, Alerting, Response Times – Forecasting Usage, Metering Lease Times not included default in OpenStack – Eg Virtual Machine only exist for say 2weeks. CONFIDENTIAL 20
21. Summary 1. OpenStack is a Cloud Consumption Framework • Leverage Heat with CloudFormation description to build environments • Build VMs via Command line
