1) The document summarizes Build a Cloud Day, a conference about open source cloud computing projects hosted by the Apache Software Foundation. 2) It discusses Apache CloudStack, an open source cloud computing platform, and how it provides infrastructure as a service (IaaS) capabilities as a data center orchestrator. 3) Additional related Apache projects that can help build an open cloud include Libcloud, jClouds, Deltacloud, and Whirr, which provide APIs to deploy applications across multiple cloud providers including CloudStack.

10. Applications
• Btrcloud: Optimization of virtual machines
placement in the datacenter
• Proactive: Dynamic resource allocations for
compute intensive applications

11. IaaS
Landscape

12. IaaS is really:
• A Data Center Orchestrator
– Data storage
– Data movement
– Data processing
• That can:
– Handle failures
– Support large scale
– Be programmed

13. What is CloudStack ?
• Open source Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
solution.
• “Programmable” Data Center orchestrator
• Apache Software Foundation Top Level
Project (TLP)

• Build your Cloud with ASF
software

26. Libcloud
• Python module that
provides a Cloud
Provider API abstraction
• Ability to write apps
using multiple providers
• Now with an improved
CloudStack driver

27. jClouds
• Under Incubation at the
Apache Software
Foundation (ASF)
• Wrapper to multiple
cloud providers
• Basis of many Cloud
tools

28. Deltacloud
• Cloud Provider API
abstraction
• Good way to get a
DMTF CIMI interface
• Avoid lock-in for apps ?

29. Apache
Whirr
• Big Data Provisioning
tool
• Deploys Hadoop, cdh,
Hbase, Yarn, etc in the
Cloud
• Use jclouds
• Works with multiple
cloud providers
including CloudStack

30. An ASF
Cloud
• Build your Open Cloud with Apache Software
Foundation software
PaaS ?
