This session is about elastic, multi-tenant, L4-L7 network services in OpenStack. We will particularly discuss about Load Balancing as a Service (LBaaS): how it is implemented in OpenStack today and how this evolved over different versions of OpenStack. We will present a distributed and scalable service-VM architecture that underlies the recent reference implementation and also our solution. We will demo load balancing (LBaaS), high-performance SSL, and real-time application monitoring services in OpenStack. We will also share learnings from production deployments of LBaaS in large-scale private and public OpenStack clouds.

*NOTE: This class runs across three (3) days: Wednesday, Nov 7-Friday, Nov 9. It is only open to attendees of OpenStack Days Mountain West, on a first-come, first-served basis. You must pre-register for this course at http://www.openstackdaysmw.com/.
In designing an OpenStack cloud system, one of the most critical tasks is how to build out a highly scalable and reliable storage system. We, at Adobe, have been using Ceph as high performance block storage in OpenStack for a variety of use cases such as images, volumes, and snapshots. Over the last two years, and through several experiences of building out Ceph systems, we've been able to achieve very competitive performance with traditional spinning HDDs, yet we found interesting bottlenecks on several subcomponents including networks. We would like to share how we designed our Ceph architecture to maximize its performance with all commodity hardware. We are also planning on enhancing our current Ceph architecture to further boost up its performance using NVMe SSDs.
In the second part of the talk, Intel will share with us the work they are doing with Ceph. Intel will cover their upstream development work, reference archiectures, and benchmarks including work on an all NVMe Ceph clusters. Then Intel will cover review initial results of their blustore testing as well as some early work with Ceph on 100GbE networks.

And to get the conversation started (and moving quickly) we’ll have lots of great food and free beer!
Traditionally Hadoop is deployed on physical servers located on customer premise. This trend is changing with the advancements of cloud technology. A cloud deployment offers the ability to conveniently scale the cluster as needed.
Join us and learn how Openstack cloud be optimized for Hadoop workload using the Openstack Sahara for Hadoop deployment. The presentation will go into great details on how an Openstack cloud can be optimized to get the performance of a Big Data workload to match as closely as possible that on a bare-metal Hadoop. We will discuss what tooling is needed for administrator to create and manage OpenStack cloud for Hadoop and how joint DellEMC Red Hat OpenStack validated solution addresses it, based on 3 key principles: openness, flexibility and extensibility.
Not a news day goes by without some horror story about how dangerous—or just flat our lonely—it can be to be a woman in tech. And while those stories sadly have some validity, what we’re not talking about are the positives. Instead of scaring ladies away from the industry, we should be welcoming them with open arms, and sharing what’s really cool about it instead (like being a Woman of OpenStack).
I’m a female working for one of the largest tech companies in the world, and though I’m in the minority as a cloud computing professional, membership does have its privileges. In my talk, I’ll “take this pink ribbon off my eyes” and highlight my favorite things about being a woman in the OpenStack community. I’ll shine a light on the great support that’s available to us; the unspoken perks that happen organically; and share how to network and connect with the other ladies of OpenStack.
This is a call to all who want to deploy production-grade networking for container-based workloads. With the adoption of container orchestration engines like Swarm, Kubernetes and Mesos, it’s important to adapt security technologies that scale with growing deployments. If we can isolate workloads with overlays, that’s pretty good. If we can seal a container on a host, that’s great!
Kuryr and MidoNet open source projects achieve network security for containers in a simplified, distributed architecture, stemming from OpenStack roots. Removing architectural bottlenecks, Kuryr + MidoNet efficiently implements security policies through the hardened Neutron framework for use by containers in large scale environments.
As OpenStack has continued the journey from the AWS model of multi-tenant clouds for Developers Only framework toward the workhorse for application support within organizations and departments in the Data Center, several aspects of commonality have emerged as key areas of change and expansion in the fabric of the framework to accommodate specific needs on an organizational level.
The common changes can be categorized as follows:
● Global Identity Management
● Network Addressing and Routing
● Compute Specialization and Multi-HyperVisor Support
● Global Storage Platforms
● Application Lifecycle Management
● Virtualizing the Control Plane
● Day 2 Cloud Administration

Will they blend? There's only one way to find out! Join experience DevOps mix-master, Rob Hirschfeld, in this fun and informative exploration.
Since the OpenStack on Kubernetes keynote in Austin, there are been many discussions about if and how to deliver a Joint OpenStack Kubernetes Environment. Specifically, using Kubernetes as an underlay.
In this presentation, we'll explore the potential benefits and downsides of this configuration. Then, assuming it's a good idea, we'll give into the real architectural and operational work needed to implement a robust OpenStack cloud using Kubernetes. We'll discuss the pros and cons of including the Nova compute nodes in K8s management. Finally, we'll outline upstream work that's needed to turn OpenStack into a cloud native application.
The future of OpenStack must involve improved security, for the simple reason that adopters of OpenStack require a clear path to creating a secure cloud to meet the needs of the enterprise… not just developers. But how do you secure OpenStack without ruining OpenStack? How do you do so at-scale? To answer these questions, we discuss a project that we call OpenStack Defense (OSDef). The basic idea of OSDef is to achieve enterprise-grade security the DevOps way; where automation, integration, and verification work together to provide a pipeline to deliver an ever-improving service. In this case, that service is dynamic security. We discuss how OSDef will leverage Cloud, DevOps, and Big Data technologies and practices in concert to automate and accelerate the incident response lifecycle by creating an event-handling pipeline for security-related information: collection, storage, search, aggregation, correlation, alerts/notifications, visualization, and response.
The telecom industry is ripe for disruption. Legacy solutions involving big iron appliances are too expensive to grow or maintain, and telecom companies across the country and world are swapping out their legacy iron for newer technologies as quick as they can find good solutions. VoIP has traditionally been looked down on as not reliable enough for carriers. Alianza's Cloud Voice Platform changes all that and allows our customers to provide carrier-grade voice services at a fraction of the cost of their legacy solutions and a fraction of the cost of their competitors. There are a handful of factors that make this possible, one of which is the transition from proprietary VM management solutions to OpenStack and Open Source where possible. Join as we cover how Alianza transitioned to OpenStack and other Open Source solutions, how we configure/manage/provision resources on our private clouds, and how we transitioned from a traditional network setup to software defined networks using mostly open source tools. We'll also explore the cost savings and operational efficiencies we realized by being able to be more agile.
