1. Using OpenStack With Fog houston.rb 6/10/14
2. • @mwhagedorn (mwhagedorn) • github.com/mwhagedorn
3. employer • hpcloud.com • @hpcloud
4. what is OpenStack? • Open source cloud infrastructure • Broadly available • Runs on non proprietary hardware • Governed by the OpenStack Foundation • AT&T, Canonical, HP, IBM, Rackspace (others)
5. OpenStack birth “ Launched Nova. Apache-Licensed Cloud Computing, in Python. It’s live. it’s buggy, it’s beta. Check it out “ - Joshua McKenty blog post, summer 2010 @jmckenty (Joshua McKenty)
6. OpenStack birth • NASA Aimes CTO • Worked with Microsoft/Google on some NASA visualizations • Preferred Google’s approach • NASA needs a cloud! @kemp (Chris Kemp)
7. OpenStack birth • Rackspace spotted the blog post • They decided to collaborate
8. Philosophy “Why Do This?”
9. brief history of computing • PCs • Data Centers • Hypervisors • Hypervisor chaos
10. the vision OpenStack Hyper-V VMware Xen KVM
11. OpenStack projects • Nova (Compute) • Swift (Object Storage) • Cinder (Block Storage) • Quantum (Networking) • Horizon (Dashboard) • Keystone (Identity) • Glance (VM Images)
12. devstack.org • git clone https://github.com/ openstack-dev/devstack.git • cd devstack && ./stack.sh
13. trystack.org • sandbox for exploration
14. horizon demo
15. ok, why should I care? • Less than 2% of global compute workloads run on AWS • Large companies have public data concerns • Countries have security concerns
16. this stuff is too hard!
17. fog • ruby cloud services • fog.io • github.com/fog/fog • @fog • @geemus (Wesley Beary) • “gem install fog”
18. fog • portable • powerful • established
19. fog • libraries • knife • chef • bosh • carrierwave • paperclip
20. fog providers • set of adapters for specific cloud • aws, hp, rackspace.. etc
21. fog require "fog" require "ostruct" ! user = OpenStruct.new({ :access_key=>{ :access_key_id => "<MY_HP_KEYID>" :secret_key => "<MY_HP_SECRET_KEY>" }, :tenant_id => "<MY_HP_TENANT_ID>" }) ! @connection ||= Fog::Compute.new( :provider => 'HP', :hp_access_key => user.access_key[:access_key_id], :hp_secret_key => user.access_key[:secret_key], :version => "v2", :hp_auth_uri => "https://region-a.geo-1.identity.hpcloudsvc.com:35357/v2.0/tokens", :hp_tenant_id => user.tenant_id, :hp_avl_zone => "region-b.geo-1" )
22. fog flavors = @connection.list_flavors images = @connection.list_images server_response = @connection.create_server("my server", flavors.body["flavors"].first["id"], images.body["images"].first["id"]) server_id = server_response.body["server"]["id"] while(true){ response = @connection.list_servers(:status => "ACTIVE") active_ids = response.body["servers"].map { |s| s["id"] } unless active_ids.select { |item| item == server_id }.empty? break end sleep(2) } ! #do stuff now
23. fog collections module Fog module Compute class HPV2 class VolumeAttachments < Fog::Collection ! model Fog::Compute::HPV2::VolumeAttachment ! attr_accessor :server ! def all requires :server data = service.list_server_volumes(server.id).body['volumeAttachments'] load(data) end ! def get(volume_id) requires :server if data = service.get_server_volume_details(server.id, volume_id).body['volumeAttachment'] new(data) end rescue Fog::Compute::HPV2::NotFound nil end end end end end
24. fog models module Fog module Compute class HPV2 ! class AvailabilityZone < Fog::Model ! identity :name, :aliases => 'zoneName' ! attribute :zoneState attribute :hosts ! def available? zoneState['available'] end ! end ! end end end
25. fog requests • actual business logic for request def list_flavors(options = {}) request( :expects => [200, 203], :method => 'GET', :path => 'flavors', :query => options ) end
26. fog mocks • test data to return example API responses • requires no network connection
27. fog real • actual request implementation
28. the fog “stack” collections models requests cloud provider servers server list_servers
29. fog and OpenStack • fog/openstack-core is the official ruby sdk for OpenStack • Under active development
30. fog bin • fog <provider> • convenient way to explore with fog • uses .fog file in your home dir
31. demo
32. examples • developer.rackspace.com (rails) • http://goo.gl/HN78A3 • HP provider examples for compute (v2) • http://goo.gl/bJaO6O
33. getting involved • OpenStack • https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/How_To_Contribute • Fog • https://github.com/fog/fog/issues
