Quantum Scenario

Outline ● Openstack● Quantum● Our Experience● Conclusion

CloudceptionOpenstack in AWS Why?

○ Infrastructure○ Virtual Private Clouds

Challenges○ Virtualization

CloudceptionOpenstack in AWS Why?

○ Infrastructure○ Virtual Private Clouds

Challenges○ Virtualization

Ways to deploy Openstack● Linux packages ● DevOps Installers ● Developer Installers ● OpenStack as a Service ● Commercial Distributions

"A documented shell script to build complete OpenStack development environments." Build your cloud in 4 steps:● Install Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric), 12.04 (Precise) or

Fedora 16● Download DevStack● Describe your configuration to localrc● Install running stack.sh

Installed and debugged:

○ Nova (LXC-based)○ Keystone○ Glance○ Horizon○ Quantum (OpenVSwitch, Linux Bridge)○ EC2 support

Problems you will face ● BUGS!● Finding complete up-to-date docs● Prerequisite knowledge (linux,virtualization)● Authenticating with keystone● Defining working images ● Booting images using nova-api● Using LXC with libvirt● Using LXC with libvirt through nova● Time is never your ally

Outline ● Openstack● Quantum● Our Experience● Conclusion

Conclusions ● Openstack is still evolving. Will be:

○ More productive○ More automated○ More customizable

● Deployment in AWS:

○ Interesting○ But very challenging

Future ● Explore Quantum ● Experiment with Quantum Plugins ● Fix LXC support ● Compare with KVM deployment
