3rd birthday of OpenStack and the first meetup of the Nairobi OpenStack user group. We talked about what IaaS, PaaS, SaaS are and generally about the concept of a 'service' and what the 'cloud' is according to the NIST definition
platform that will meet the needs of public and private clouds regardless of size, by being simple to implement and massively scalable. In other words, to provide Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to consumers whether they are business units within an enterprise or customers of a public cloud.
– Software that requires no specific host-based software (Dropbox, Gmail) • Platform as a Service (PaaS) – Programmable environment (Google App Engine, If This Then That, iCloud) • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – Consumer installs OS (Amazon Web Services, Rackspace Cloud, Hetzner VPS)
system, over which they have no admin control • Network access control is not possible (consumer cannot setup VPN) • API access is not available so control of the system cannot be made programmatic
They can be deployed privately in a corporate data center • Or they can be publicly available • They can even be deployed within a community like a school or research center
such as server time and network storage, as needed automatically without requiring human interaction with each service provider. * Next 6 slides from http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-145/ SP800-145.pdf
accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms (e.g., mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and workstations).
multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand. There is a sense of location independence in that the customer generally has no control or knowledge over the exact location of the provided resources but may be able to specify location at a higher level of abstraction (e.g., country, state, or datacenter). Examples of resources include storage, processing, memory, and network bandwidth.
some cases automatically, to scale rapidly outward and inward commensurate with demand. To the consumer, the capabilities available for provisioning often appear to be unlimited and can be appropriated in any quantity at any time.
by leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing, bandwidth, and active user accounts). Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported, providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service.
scripts and software packages which facilitate launching compute power and storage on simple servers • These services can be isolated between tenants (i.e. customers) for data security • OpenStack allows organizations to deploy their own Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas)
services to other server when hardware is failing • Can’t ‘add’ more memory or CPU capacity without an extended outage • You have to worry about parts and physical security (including environmental issues like cooling)
1-5%) • Compute power can even be enabled to bare metal • A multi-tenant cluster benefits from economies of scale (faster RAM, more cores, more spinning drives) • Economies of scale extend to management where engineers can focus just on low-level performance
where Ops people can focus on lower level security • Ops people can more easily manage networking ACLs, etc… via Software Defined Networking (SDN) • OS-level and logical security under the purview of the consumer as was the case before
Compute and Object Storage to Compute, Storage, Networking and Shared Services, with rich ecosystem of Integrated projects emerging ‣ OpenStack has public clouds in more cities than Amazon has regions ‣ Major private cloud users at Best Buy, Bloomberg, Comcast, Fidelity, PayPal and more ‣ OpenStack has become the center of cloud innovation – more than 1,000 developers, supported by major IT companies
OpenStack so successful • Open source is essential to unlock the value of cloud computing • Four opens: – Open Design – Open Development – Open Community – Open Source
focus on stability and maturity – Orchestration and Metering become integrated in Havana – DBaaS and Bare Metal currently Incubated projects • Focus on education and talent development – New Operations and Security Guides – Ecosystem and community discussions to accelerate training and certification • Reaching application developers
