● Levels of Hybridization
● OpenStack as the New Web, or Why Hybrid Cloud
is Important
● Creating the World Wide Cloud
● Technical Hurdles
● What the Community Needs to Do
● Where We Go From Here
Agenda
6. Hybrid Cloud is...
● Multiple clouds...
● Different systems...
● Different platforms...
● Different locations...
● Talking to each other
What Is Hybrid Cloud?
7.
8. We usually hear about Hybrid Cloud for...
● Dev/Test
● Scaling up/cloudbursting
● Better resource allocation
But what other use cases have we not even thought
of yet?
Use cases
10. ● Isolated
● Homogeneous
● Heterogeneous
● World Wide Cloud (Cloud of Everything)
The Stages of Hybrid Cloud
11. ● Isolated clouds: Any clouds are handled individually; jobs
are assigned to clouds manually.

● Homogeneous clouds: All clouds are the same type; client
software assigns jobs automatically.

● Homogeneous clouds: All clouds are the same type; client

● Heterogeneous clouds: Multiple components and system
types, with jobs managed by a single client.

● Heterogeneous clouds: Multiple components and system

● World Wide Cloud (Cloud of Everything): Heterogeneous
clouds with a single (OpenStack) management grid,
joinable by anyone.
The Stages of Hybrid Cloud
16. Why Hybrid Cloud is Important
Current use cases:
● Dev/Test
● Cloudbursting
● Resource management
These are mostly corporate use cases. What
about individuals?
Future use cases have yet to emerge.
17. Why Hybrid Cloud is Important
We ask
"Is OpenStack the new Linux?"
What if we're wrong? What if the question is
"Is OpenStack the new Web?"
18. OpenStack as the new Web
The Web gave us:
● Democratization of content production/use
● New ways to communicate
● New use cases never dreamed of by its
founders
● Based on open "standards" -- anybody could
do it
19. OpenStack as the new Web
OpenStack can give us us:
● Democratization of resource production/use
● New ways to process data
● New use cases never dreamed of by its
founders
● Based on open "standards" -- anybody could
do it
21. Creating the World Wide Cloud
Step 1:
1. One cloud, private or public, controlled by API (not AWS)
2. Choosing where to put your resources manually
3. Resources on the same network
4. Resources have to hit Keystone
5. Resources need to access MySQL
22. Creating the world Wide Cloud
Step 2:
1. Multiple clouds -- by availability zone?
2. MySQL replaced by distributed hashtable-ish method
3. Clouds can be connected or not
4. Multiple contributors
5. Each cloud has its own resource policies
23. Creating the world Wide Cloud
Step 3:
1. Clouds have additional services such as Sahara, or Murano
Application Catalog.
2. Each cloud can have its own policies, and its own catalog.
3. A single cloud can allow apps from multiple catalogs.
25. Technical Hurdles
Networking
● Do all resources need to be on the same
network?
● Can we use a virtual mesh with something
like OpenVPN?
● Do new SDN's/NFV's come into play
(Neutron)?
26. Technical Hurdles
Trust
● Users need to know the level of trust for each
resource
● Resource owners need to know what's on
their systems -- or do they?
● Nova flavors, Cinder volume types
● Additional metadata (Graffiti)?
27. Technical Hurdles
Billing
● Users need to be able to pay for what they use
(Ceilometer)
● Contributors need to be able to get paid for
what they contribute
● Cryptocurrencies
29. Technical Hurdles
Traceability
● Users might want to maintain anonymity
● Anonymous DMCA request repositories
● Harder to go after thousands of individuals
● Harder for individuals to fight
spying/subpoenas
31. What the Community Needs To do
Basic security issues around strangers joining
your cloud:
● Multiple levels?
● One-way credentials?
● Federated identity?
32. What the Community Needs To do
Better cloud-to-cloud communication
● Ability to move workloads between clusters
● Resource sharing from multiple clusters
33. What the Community Needs To do
And also ...
● Standardize the OpenStack API
● Develop relationships with projects such as
Jumpgate, which use OpenStack APIs to
manipulate other systems
