Anatomy Of CloudStack • Management Server Farm • Management and provisioning tasks • Zone • Collection of pods, network offerings and secondary storage • Pod • Collection of clusters in the same failure boundary • Cluster • A grouping of hosts and their associated storage • Hosts • Servers onto which services will be provisioned • Primary Storage • VM disk storage • Network • Logical network associated with service offerings • Secondary Storage • Template, snapshot and ISO storage Zone CloudStack Pod Cluster Host Host Network Primary Storage VM VM CloudStack Pod Cluster Secondary Storage Wednesday, October 23, 13 

Primary Vs Secondary Storage • Random access read/write • Changes often • Zone Scoped • Focused on throughput • Write once/read many • Append only • Zone or Region Scoped • Focused on reliability Wednesday, October 23, 13

Anatomy Of Riak CS • S3/Swift API Proxy + Riak key-value store • Peer-to-Peer Design: Any node can service any read or accept any write request • Maintains multiple replicas (default 3) spread across multiple nodes • Ops Friendly Wednesday, October 23, 13 

Anatomy Of Riak CS • S3/Swift API Proxy + Riak key-value store • Peer-to-Peer Design: Any node can service any read or accept any write request • Maintains multiple replicas (default 3) spread across multiple nodes • Ops Friendly Horizontally scaleable storage on commodity hardware Wednesday, October 23, 13 

Riak CS Use Cases • Secondary Storage for VM snapshot and template data • Database Backup Storage • Serving Static Content • Application Log Storage Wednesday, October 23, 13 

Achieving Commodity Reliability • Create a zone per power source/backbone network connection • Establish independent primary storage in each zone • Utilize intra-datacenter block-level replication between zones • Distribute Riak CS nodes evenly across zones Wednesday, October 23, 13
