OpenStack Icehouse Release
Open Marketing Meeting
April 9, 2014
“Software is eating the world” - The Enterprise Shift
2
•
Software is now strategic to all companies.
Successful enterprises must become tech
companies regardless of industry type, or they’ll
go the way of the dinosaur.
•
This changes everything. How software is
produced & consumed, as well as the talent war,
because you can’t buy strategy in a box.
•
Moving at the speed of cloud means minutes
instead of months to provision app resources.
•
OpenStack is an enabling technology for the
shift, but also is a diverse community with an
open design process which welcomes users to
set the roadmap.
•
The Icehouse release reflects this trend.

• Testing for drivers and upgrades
• Rolling upgrades
• Ops-driven features continue to make it
easier to manage and scale
• Incubation continues to drive innovation
• Object Storage replication options (ssync)
• Block Storage horizontal scalability
• Data layer performance
improvements for large deployments
• Boot process reliability across
platform services
• Consistency across services
Key Themes Across the Community
More users/operators continue to shape software
• Users contribute code for real world use cases to solve issues
they see day to day
• New opportunities for users to influence roadmap
Many users finding the right path to adoption for their
business
• One size does not fit all: that’s why OpenStack is the right
choice for so many
Testing/Reliability requirements continue to rise
• Rigorous testing now a requirement across projects
• Strict criteria to be part of the integrated release, need test
coverage and CI
10
New Features by Category
12
Compute
Improved upgrade support
•
•
Rolling upgrades
No impact to user workloads
Testing requirements enhanced
•
•
All included third-party drivers fully tested
Upgrade testing for all contributions
Other updates
•
•
•
•
13
Improved scheduler performance
Boot process reliability across platform services
More features exposed to end users via API updates, such as
ability to target machines by affinity
More efficient access to data layer; improves performance,
especially at scale
Storage
Object Storage
•
•
•
Discoverability: major update, ability to ask any Object
Storage cloud what capabilities are available
New replication process significantly improves performance;
data is more efficiently transported through new s-sync
(instead of r-sync)
Major storage policies feature in progress and coming in Juno
Block Storage
•
•
•
14
Backend migration with tiered storage environments, allowing
for performance management in heterogeneous
environments
Testing for external drivers to ensure API consistency across
storage platforms
Scalability improvements with fully distributed services
Networking
Tighter integration with Compute
•
•
State managed across Compute and Networking provisioning
actions
Improved consistency with instance creation
Driver testing and cross-service testing
•
•
Better functional testing for actions that require coordination
between multiple services
Third-party driver testing ensures consistency and reliability
across network implementations
Focus on scale and feature parity with nova-network
•
15
Both networking options still available
Shared Services
•
•
•
•
•
16
Identity service: Federated authentication with
Shibboleth
Orchestration: Additional native autoscaling resources
available, Configuration API for managing applications,
reduced dependence on administrative API
Telemetry: Rest API to access stored events
implemented
Dashboard: Design updated and user experience
improvements (e.g. in-line editing), three new languages
added
Database Service: New capability included in the
integrated release, allows management of relational
database services in an OpenStack environment
Looking forward to the next release: Juno
The OpenStack model encourages innovation around a stable
integrated release. Looking forward to Juno, coming in October
