What is OpenStack?
Cloud Infrastructure For Cloud-Enabled Workloads
●
Modular architecture
●
Designed to easily scale out
●
Based on (growing) set of core services
Why OpenStack?
●
Brings public cloud-like capabilities into your datacenter
●
Provides massive on-demand (scale-out) capacity
●
1,000's → 10,000's → 100k's of VMs
●
Removes vendor lock-in
●
Open source provides high-degree of flexibility to customize
and interoperate
●
Community development = higher “feature velocity”
●
Features and functions you need, faster to market over
proprietary software
●Top OpenStack Priorities
●44% Increased emphasis on certified hardware
●44% commercial OpenStack support
●43% integration with open source management initiatives

What Role Does OpenStack Have in Your Cloud
Strategy?
Why Red Hat?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform
●
Needs an operating environment, hypervisor, services
●
Leverages existing code libraries for functionality
●
It is dependent on the underlying Linux
●
Optimized and Co-Engineered with Red Hat Enterprise Linux
A typical OpenStack cloud is made up of at least 9 core services + plugins to interact with 3rd party systems
●These services run on top of a Linux distribution with a complex set of user space integration dependencies
●OpenStack cannot be productized as a stand alone layer
●A supported, stable platform requires integration and testing of each of the components
“If your Windows virtual machine hosted by a KVM hypervisor running on an IBM blade, connecting to an EMC storage array through an Emulex HBA has issues with storage corruption, who do you call?”
