OpenNebula 5: vCenter Integration

OpenNebulaConf 20164th edition

OpenNebula Approach to vCenter

vCenter Datastores and VMDK

vCenter datastores supported in OpenNebula•Monitoring of Datastores and VMDKs•VMDK Creation•VMDK Upload•VMDK Cloning•VMDK Deletion

Persistent VMDK

VMDK Hotplug supported•Attach disk

Import vCenter Datastores and VMDKAvailable through CLI and SunstoneSame mechanism as with VMs, Networks and Templates

Choose Resource Pools and DatastoresSet a fixed value or delegate to the user

Saving Your Work in vCenter ● VMDKs managed by OpenNebula are persistent by default● VMs can be marked as persistent at instantiation time● At shutdown the VM is converted to a VM Template in vCenter● A new OpenNebula VM Template is created pointing to the new

vCenter VM Template

Other (Awesome) Improvements● Dynamic context guestinfo after power cycle

● Import VMs in poweroff

● Large infrastructure optimizations VMs (20x Speed Up!)

● Several UI improvements

● Better import dialogs

● Cloud View functionality extended

● Tags for resources

● Limit VM NIC bandwidth

Roadmap for 5.4 - NetworkNetwork management!

● Automatic port group creation

○ with VLAN support

● Improvements in multi-tenancy provision

○ Create VDC with automatic network creation

● Nice to have:

○ Automatic network creation with Flow!

Roadmap for 5.4 - StorageFrom hybrid to native

● Set of TM drivers for vCenter

○ persistent images!

○ resizing!

Still on the blackboard

● System DS / Image DS?

● Import VM Template -> NICs and Storage resources?

● New REST API 6.5

○ first impression -> not enough functionality exposed
