 A disruptive innovation driven by two key industry trends

 Commoditized enterprise IT: hardware, software and

networks and standardized enterprise usage

 New Internet-based IT usage: new economic models to

absorb fluctuating or peak demands

Open source software is critical

for cloud computing openness

 While openness seems still a distant reality...

 Different meanings

 Proprietary core business

 Few consensus on standards

 ...Open Source Software is now critical for Cloud Computing ...

 General consensus on

reduction of costs and barriers to adoption

 Open APIs for pragmatic reasons

 OSS and open standards

 … but Cloud Computing is also a risk for OSS

 Openness not dependant on software exclusively

 OSS Cloud momentum

 Virtualization technologies:

Xen, KV, OpenVZ, VirtualBox, etc.

 Infrastructure management:

OpenNebula, Eucalyptus, Libcloud, etc.

 Platform environment:

Heroku, etc.

 OSS a unique proposition for

 Interoperability

 Sovereignty

 Transparency / Privacy / Security

 De facto open standards

An industry empowerment

strategy

 Furthermore, most consortia managing open source

development and marketing are based in the United States and

funded by US IT companies.

 If the cloud computing research aims at realizing a sustainable European economic opportunity as envisioned in 2010, this imbalance needs to be

addressed.

(...)

 The EC should promote the European leadership position in software through commercially

relevant open source approaches.

 Maintaining an open source

approach for research results and cloud infrastructure support tools ensures uptake and simplifies

adaptation to different environments. The European open source

movement should thereby work

strongly together with industry to

support commercial cloud based service provisioning.

Starting with a real-life business

case: Orange



Context:



Large-scale datacenters (+40,000 x86 servers)



JavaEE JOnAS middleware stack: +250 applications,

+1,000 application server instances



Static server consolidation (12/1) through virtualization:

• Utilization level increased from 20% to 75%



Next step: migration to a Cloud model



On-demand JavaEE server provisioning according to

demand fluctuations



Automation of the management of virtualized JavaEE

clusters: deployment, update, auto-scaling etc.



Open (source) cloud management stacks alternatives

The need addressed by the Initiative bedrock:

Self-sizing for Java EE PaaS



Goal : improve the platform efficiency



Performance



Energy cost



Challenges



Cluster growth/shrink capabilities according to

workload



Datacenter multi-tenancy with limited capacities

requires arbitration policies



Datacenter placement for minimizing the energy

consumption

OW2 OSC Initiative: Outlook



Priorities

1. Build awareness for the OW2 Cloudware Stack and attractiveness for new components, both OW2 and non-OW2 .

2. Foster evolution of OW2 projects so as to make open source cloud

computing the backbone of the OW2 code base.

3. Position OW2 as a key player:

- help define open cloud computing - partner with existing stakeholders - contribute to advocacy campaigns - participate in collaborative projects
