What is driving the move to the cloud?

I.T. CHALLENGES
9RED HAT CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE
BUSINESS AND INFRASTRUCTURE PRIORITIESInfrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
● Lines of Business want:● Rapidly create and update applications● IT to act as a service, not a bottleneck● Turning to public cloud IaaS when infrastructure can't meet needs
● Infrastructure team priorities:● Meet demands of business users faster● Attain governance over entire infrastructure● Gain insight into utilization● Considering hybrid IaaS cloud to achieve these results
RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX OPENSTACK PLATFORMDOC144908
WORKLOADS ARE EVOLVING
TRADITIONALWORKLOADS
● Typically resides on a single large Virtual Machine
● Cannot tolerate any downtime● Needs expensive high availability
tools found in VMware vSphere● Application scales up rather than
out
CLOUDWORKLOADS
● Workload resides on multiple Virtual Machines
● Tolerates VM failure – if one fails, another quickly replaces it
● Fault tolerance often built into workload
● Application scales out rather than up

CLOUD-ENABLED WORKLOADS
● Highly probable that your developers have turned to public cloud
● Expensive and ungoverned
● OpenStack required to gain controlover workloads, run them in-house
● OpenStack provides numerous costand security benefits

IT CHALLENGES
FLEXIBILITYScale-out on demand hampered by proprietary virtualization licensing
Other solutions force single-vendor stack solutions, requiring migration and forklift
Public cloud like future based on open source technology, enables economics of scale-out
MANAGEMENTVM sprawl and management sprawl
Multiple panes of glass with no central governance
Demands for self service must balance with policy and security
Orchestration of complex and repeatable tasks
Discovery and monitoring of disparate systems
WORKLOADSLegacy workloads require traditional datacenter virtualization
New cloud enabled workloads need flexible scale-out, fault tolerant infrastructure
Management tools must deal with both use cases
Solutions must deal with a long term migration from one type to another

RED HAT'S OPENSTACK LEADERSHIPWHY DO THESE STATISTICS MATTER?
● Proof that Red Hat has skills, resources to:● Support customers● Drive new features● Influence strategy and direction of project● Enable partner collaboration
● Wide ranging participation, contrasts with most others who are more narrowly focused
● Important to highlight our leadership in the whole stack● Linux, KVM, libvirt, etc
● RHEL-OSP is an enterprise-grade distribution with ecosystem, lifecycle, and support that customers expect from Red Hat
RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX OPENSTACK PLATFORMDOC144908

● Time to stabilize, certify, backport etc.
● Increased to 3 year lifecycle● e.g., Support for Havana ends after “K” release
● Will continue to increase lifecycle over time● Based on upstream stability and resources
RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX OPENSTACK PLATFORMDOC144908
WHY RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX OPENSTACK PLATFORM
● All benefits of community OpenStack and...● Enterprise hardened code
● Co-engineered and integrated with Red Hat Enterprise Linux
● Enterprise software lifecycle
● World-class global support
● Worlds largest OpenStack partner ecosystem
● OpenStack training and certification
● Integrated with trusted Red Hat stack● Red Hat CloudForms ● Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization● Red Hat Storage
RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX OPENSTACK PLATFORMDOC144908
● A typical OpenStack cloud is made up of at least 10 core services (Nova, Cinder, Keystone, Neutron, glance, etc) + plugins to interact with 3rd party systems – eg. storage arrays, network switches.
● These services run on top of a Linux distribution with a complex set of userspace dependencies, requiring tight integration
● A supported, stable platform requires integration and testing of each of the components
THE IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRATION WITH LINUX...
RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX OPENSTACK PLATFORMDOC144908
● Many of the most complex features are provided by Linux with OpenStack providing management and orchestration
● For example: virtualization provided by the KVM hypervisor, with libvirt management interface, interacting with Open vSwitch userspace switch, transitioning to the kernel's networking stack to handle network namespaces – Each potentially managed by different OpenStack services.
● These components need to be engineered & productized together
● OpenStack cannot be productized as a layered product
THE IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRATION WITH LINUX...
RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX OPENSTACK PLATFORMDOC144908
● Examples of RHEL optimized enablers for OpenStack:
● Virtualization – guest performance, reliability, and Windows
● Security - SELinux enforcing guest isolation● Network – SDN/OVS performance optimized● Storage – vendor plugins, performance, thin provisioning● Ecosystem – certification of hardware, storage, and
networks
● The pairing of the Linux operating system and OpenStack is so tight that Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform is the only combination that can most effectively support functionality, performance, security, system-wide stability, and ecosystem support
THE IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRATION WITH LINUX...
