VMware + OpenStack: No fork in the road…

Why is OpenStack Interesting?
Freedom!
Free?

Choices, Choices, Choices…
OpenStack provides the freedom to…
• Choose different technologies, while using a single cloud API + GUI
• Choose different deployment models (do-it-your-self vs. vendor solution)
OpenStack
Compute?
Network?
Storage?
Mgmt?
What SW/HW infrastructure technologies meets my
needs for advanced features, cost structure, scale,
reliability, monitoring, performance, SLAs,
troubleshooting, etc?

& Cloud Admins

OpenStack as a Framework
The flexibility of the OpenStack framework…
• Vendor neutral + developer friendly API, with “plugin” architecture
• Enables custom coding + rapid iteration by in-house development teams.

…with the innovation and reliability of VMware
• Best-in-class SW infrastructure technology, as individual
components or as an integrated software suite.
5
Embracing Customer Choice + OpenStack
Having great technology allows us to embrace customer choice.
 Contribute to OpenStack
• Integrate VMware compute, network, storage SW with OpenStack.
• Make OpenStack better, helping customers succeed with their cloud effort.
 Like all OpenStack vendors, compete for your business.
• Show customers how VMware components helps them run a better cloud.
• Work with ecosystem to make sure it is easy to deploy OpenStack + VMware
Our Goal: Make VMware the best and easiest way to run OpenStack

Current Status and Plans
• Running POC with Open Stack controlling vSphere (through
VC)
• Enterprise App Platform (live migration, DRS, VMware HA,
and future tech)
• What is working:
• VM orchestration (create, destroy, start, stop) through Nova API/CLI/GUI
• vSphere as interface to FC SAN
• What we need:
•
•
•
•
•
Havana upgrade (many many fixes, thin provisioning, multi-cluster, etc)
Open Stack absorb/control of existing Virtual Center deployments
Multi Datacenter per Virtual Center
Continued VMware support of open source control plane for industry
Federation Experience for multi platform Hybrid consumption model
Goal: Share our production results in Atlanta with
all of you

Choosing a Compute Driver: Why vSphere for Nova?
Technical:
•
Purpose-built hypervisor platform provides
unmatched combination of reliability, security, and
performance.
•
Availability features (vMotion, HA) and compatibility
testing protect critical production workloads.
•
Advanced resource management (DRS, SDRS)
protects from noisy neighbors, better utilizes HW.
Operational:
22
•
Enterprise-polished solution simplifies adoption.
•
Enterprises already have the expertise.
•
Vast array of VMware + Ecosystem tools to manage
the infrastructure layer
•
Deploying OpenStack can be as simple as
deploying a single “controller” VM.

Choosing a Network Driver: Why NSX for Neutron?
Technical Capabilities:
•
First and most production-hardened network
virtualization solution.
•
•
Doesn’t relay on physical network for VLANs,
FW, etc. Works with gear from any vendor.
The technical “details” matter:
•
Tunneling packet performance
•
High-availability + scale-out model.
•
“Distributed” network services.
Compatibility + Ecosystem:
•
Works on KVM, XenServer, and ESX.
•
Integrations with many HW Switch vendors to allow
NSX to manage physical workloads.
Operations:
•
24
Troubleshooting tools to view how virtual networks
are built, impact of physical network failures.

Choosing a Block Storage Driver: Why vSphere for Cinder?
Simple but Powerful:
•
Single driver works with any vSphere
validated storage (NFS, iSCSI, FC)
•
Leverages huge validation efforts
across many vendors.
•
Includes VAAI array acceleration work
for snapshot, clone, etc.

vSphere
VSAN
…………….
Enables VMware “virtual SAN”:
SSD
•
26
Provides shared storage leveraging
SDD/Hard-disks on the hypervisor.
•
Low-cost storage devices, but with
accelerated by local SSD cache.
•
SSD cache is configurable per-disk,
allowing extremely high IOPs for data
intensive workloads.

A “dead simple” way to get OpenStack + vSphere in your lab.
Not a product, not for production workloads…
Introducing “VOVA”:
• A single OVF file containing a full OpenStack install.
• Deploy VMs via OpenStack to an existing cluster.
• Import, answer a few questions, and go!
• OpenStack on vSphere in under 20 minutes.
Updated for Havana:
• New VOVA release today based on latest Havana,
includes vCenter web client plugin.
Download, ask questions, and provide feedback at:
https://www.vmware.com/go/openstack
Keep an eye out for an update later in Nov. with NSX support!
