  1. Achieving Hybrid Cloud Mobility with OpenStack and XCP Todd Deshane, Ewan Mellor, and Paul Voccio

  2. Who are we? • Ewan Mellor • Director of Engineering, OpenStack at Citrix Systems • Member of the OpenStack Project Policy Board • Member of the Xen.org Advisory Board • Paul Voccio • Sr. Development Manager, CloudServers at Rackspace • OpenStack Developer, Ozone Manager

  3. What is Hybrid Cloud? Public Datacenter Private  Datacenter

  4. State of the project • Under development • Proof of concepts • Scale coming

  5. Why Hybrid Cloud? Public Datacenter Private  Datacenter

  6. Hybrid Cloud Challenges • Networking • Nodes on the public cloud should look like they are on the private network • Local and remote capacity, configuration • Hardware life cycle management dependent on: • hypervisor versions and families  • disk and image formats • Where does the data live?

  7. Enabling Technologies • OpenStack - Orchestration • Open vSwitch - Network Virtualization • Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) and XenServer

  8. Federation and Zones • A Zone is a container for compute resources • Zones can have any number of hypervisors

  9. Simple Zone api scheduler database queue compute network

  10. MultiZone zone0

  11. MultiZone zone0 zone3 zone1 zone2

  12. $ MultiZone $ $

  13. Challenges with Zones • Inconsistent sizes (flavors) of offerings • Different network topologies may not work for all apps • Allows for specialization (GPU, high cpu, network, etc)

  14. Quantum and Open vSwitch • Network as a Service used by Nova • Currently under heavy development • Isolation from neighbors

  15. OVS and XCP      quantum OVS linux bridge OVS linux bridge

  16. Static Network Config      Public Service

  17. Dynamic Network Config      Public OVS OVS OVS Service Private

  18. Dynamic Network Config      zone2 OVS zone1 OVS zone3 OVS

  19. Solved Problems and Demo • Current Progress • XCP/XenServer + OpenStack Virtual Appliance • Seamless management of private and public cloud • Demo

  20. Current and Future Issues • Hybrid Networking • Maintaining network connections during hybrid cloud move • Open vSwitch implementation expected in Diablo • Hybrid File Formats • Maintaining backing storage during hybrid cloud move • Open Virtualization Format (OVF)

  21. Conclusion • Reasons behind success • Open Source • Open Standards • Collaboration • incredible ecosystem around a real open cloud project • How you can get involved • OpenStack - openstack.org • XCP - xen.org
