Who are using Openstack ?

OpenStack Structure

Openstack in a Nutshell

OpenStack Components

OpenStack Compute code-named "Nova

OpenStack Object Store code-named "Swift

OpenStack Image code-named "Glance

OpenStack Identity code-named "Keystone

OpenStack Block Storage code-named "Cinder

OpenStack Networking formerly code-named "Quantum Neutron now

OpenStack Dashboard code-named "Horizon"

OpenStack Compute Nova

Similar to Amazon Ec2

Leverage multiple hypervisors(Xen, KVM, vSphere/ESXi, Hyper-V)

Made up of several sub-components

Nova-api

Nova-compute

Nova-schedule

OpenStack Object Store Swift

Similar to Amazon S3

Provides distributed object storage

Supports the Openstack Object API as well as raw HTTP

Authentication is handled via OpenStack Identity

OpenStack Image Glance

Similar to Amazons AMI Catalog

Provides Image Storage, Image retrieval, and image discovery services.

These images are leveraged to launch instances(VMs)

Leverage the Object Store Swift or other storage platforms including Amazon S3, filesystems and HTPP

OpenStack Identity Keystone

Provides policy and authentication services for other OpenStack services.

Leverages a pluggable architecture that can support LDAP, SQL, and other backend services.

OpenStack Block Storage Cinder

Can be compared in concept to Amazon EBS

Provides block storage functionality to instances running on Compute

Recall that instances

Block Storage prov ides

Similar to compute, it has server sub-components:

Cinder-api

Cinder-volume

Cinder-scheduler

Leverages storage virtual drivers to inter with underlying platforms.

OpenStack Network Quantum

Provides network as a service functionality

Allows the programmatic creation of (potentially complex per tenant networks)

Uses a plug-in architecture; plugins exist for a number of different backend implementations including Nicira NVP, Open vSwitch(OVS), Linux Bridge, Cisco and others

Has essentially replaced nova-network

OpenStack Dashboard Horizon

A web app that runs on Apache

Provides a graphical user interface GUI for other OpenStack services

Leverages the APIs of the other OpenStack services

How to get started with OpenStack ?

Use Devstack a great tool for starting up openstack

OpenStack is mostly written using Python

Instances are are stateless, so configuration management is critical

Openstack is linux-based, familiarity to linux is a must
