Ruby (EventMachine, Sinatra, AMQP), RabbitMQ, Redis
Messaging oriented architecture. Messages are JSON
objects. (Pub/Sub)
Ability to re-use existing Nagios plugins
Plugins and handlers (think notifications) can be written in
any language
Designed with modern configuration management systems
such as Chef or Puppet in mind
Lightweight, less than 1200 lines of code
Why We Built It
 Highly




Elastic Infrastructure
Nodes are created (Spot Nodes)
Bootstrapped (With Chef)
Take and process work
Terminated (when prices increase)

All before they are discovered and monitored by Nagios

Nagios is:

Difficult to Extend
 Can not discover new services on its own
 Generally Unpleasant
Keep It Simple™
• The Idea:
• Schedule the execution of
remote checks
• Collect their Results
• “Checks” are:
• Is the server up?
• How hard is it working?
• Tied into Modern CM
• Chef
• Puppet
• Message Oriented Middleware
• RabbitMQ
• Securely Routing
Checks/Results
• Redis: Fast In-Mem K/V Store
Open Source = Community
• Early Development – Recruit Community Experts
• Help Test – Drive Early Roadmap
• Develop Puppet and Chef modules
• Release Day (Nov 1st 2011)
• Make Sensu Github Repo Public
• Open IRC channel on Freenode (#sensu)
• Blog posting and Twitter for marketing
• Community, Community, Community
• Adoption – Documentation
• “Omnibus” Style Packaging for Quick Deployments

Innovation + Open Source = Virtuous Cycle
Open Source Innovation
600,000+ OSS projects
100+ billion lines of code
10 million person-years of work
Source: Blackduck
• Open source is leading, not following, in important areas
including cloud, big data, mobile apps and enterprise mobility.
• More than 50 percent of software acquired in the next five
years will be open source software.
• Innovation, flexibility, cost, quality of open source are some of
the top reasons that make it attractive for use
• Companies most likely to be impacted by OSS have these
characteristics: Business drivers to invest in IT, software
development is an essential strategic process, technology centric
• When asked about revenue generating strategies likely to create
value for vendors, 52 percent of respondents said an annual,
repeatable support and service agreement was the most likely
value strategy

OpenStack is the Open Source Software Powering
Public and Private Clouds
Private Cloud:
Run OpenStack software
in your own
data centers

Automation & Efficiency
Public Cloud:
OpenStack powers some
of the worlds largest public
cloud deployments.
2. Cloud Data Center
3. Cloud Federation
Global Marketing
• What is it: An open source cloud operating system
– 30,000 lines of code to 600,000 in under 18 months
• Who’s building it: A worldwide community of developers
– 600+ developers, 250+ contributed in the last 12 months
– 6000+ individual members in 87 countries
• Who is govering it: The OpenStack Foundation, backed by AT&T, Canonical,
Cisco, ClearPath, Cloudscaling, Dell, DreamHost, HP, IBM, ITRI, Mirantis,
Morphlabs, Nebula, NetApp, Piston, Rackspace, Red Hat, SUSE, and Yahoo!

OpenStack Value Proposition
Reduces
• Addresses Real Market Pains
Provides
Lock-in & Open APIs
Licenses & Support
– Limits costly software licenses
– Limits lock-in by vendors (VMware) & by providers (Amazon)
– Allows for massive scalability
– Extensible hypervisor support (Xen, KVM, Hyper-V, etc.)
– Offers standard APIs enabling growing cloud ecosystem
OpenStack is commoditizing the IaaS market from single provider (Amazon) to
many small copy cats (startups).
Global Marketing
Popular OpenStack Use Cases
• Service providers offering an IaaS compute platform
• IT departments provisioning compute resources to teams and
projects
• Processing big data with tools like Hadoop
• Scaling compute up and down to meet demand for web resources
and applications
