This talk covered the OpenStack basics that VMware Administrators need to be aware of to be successful in their deployments. We also had the Tesora team join us on stage to discuss the importance of Database-as-a-Service with the Trove project!

Targeted for
OpenStack
OpenStack is a framework for providing developers with cloud-style APIs
and tools on top of a choice of virtual infrastructure technologies.
Virtualized
Compute, Network,
Storage
?
Primarily cloud native (Mode 2) workloads.
• Common examples:
• Scale-out SaaS/Web applications, mobile back-ends
• Dev/Build/Test, continuous integration
• Research / batch-processing: data analytics, encoding, simulation, etc...
…Growing number of “Mode 1” workloads.

8. Which Technology to Pair with OpenStack?
…scalability?
…low total cost of
ownership?
…availability and
reliability?
“What is the best
technology choice
for...”
… effective operations
and upgrade?
... infrastructure
and app SLAs?
… troubleshooting
and support?
…advanced features?
…security?
8

9. 3rd Platform/Cloud Native
• Think Docker, Hadoop,etc...
• Cloud APIs are highly available
• Scale out (create more instances)
• You don’t know each server, if one fails, you delete it
and create a new one
Main Assumption:
Infrastructure does not need to be reliable
Pets (Traditional Apps) VS AND Cattle (Cloud Native Apps)
9
2nd Platform, Traditional
• Think SAP, Exchange,Oracle
• Infrastructure is Highly Available
• Scale Up by putting bigger machines
• You know each server by name
• If it fails, you fix it
Main Assumption:
Infrastructure MUST BE reliable
….but it MUST be available
