Docker on OpenStack with Kubernetes

Docker has accelerated development of portable services on cloud due to its slick approach to component lifecycle management. But connecting up a bunch of Docker containers as well-behaved aggregate services in the cloud can be more complex and brittle than most Docker users realize. In this talk, we’ll show how you can take a Kubernetes… Continue reading Docker on OpenStack with Kubernetes

One Convergence: Policy Based Network Services for OpenStack Cloud

One Convergence’s policy based networking solution simplifies OpenStack cloud deployments by leveraging higher-level, reusable abstractions capturing user intent. This simplification goes beyond basic networking by reducing the onerous deployment of Layer 4-Layer 7 network services such as load balancers, firewalls and VPN gateways. This talk will highlight the benefits of One Convergence’s policy based solution&n…Full… Continue reading One Convergence: Policy Based Network Services for OpenStack Cloud

The Road to rolling upgrade of Intel IT private cloud

We started our production from OpenStack Havana while it’s time for Kilo. There will be a new OpenStack release with lots of bugfix and new features every 6 months. It’s really a challenge for Enterprise IT to define its upgrade strategy and perform a successful upgrade. In this session, we will introduce our upgrade strategy… Continue reading The Road to rolling upgrade of Intel IT private cloud

In this talk we discuss a methodology for… Continue reading OpenStack Networking: It’s time to talk Performance

Manila 101 & Use Cases

Manila provides an automated, on-demand, and scalable service for delivering shared and distributed file systems all via an open, standardized API developed within the OpenStack effort, but made available for usage independent of what cloud ecosystem is utilized. For the first time, cloud users can self-provision and manage shared file systems as first-class objects to… Continue reading Manila 101 & Use Cases

[Panel] All Together Now: OSS Cross-Collaboration For a Network-Enabled Cloud

Several key open source projects have emerged in the virtualization space in the past few years — OpenDaylight, OpenStack, Open vSwitch, OPNFV — and the communities have been working together to integrate their respective pieces. Panelists represent each of these projects and discuss how they collaborate to enable a network-based cloud. Colin Dixon, OpenDaylight; David… Continue reading [Panel] All Together Now: OSS Cross-Collaboration For a Network-Enabled Cloud

What Your Customers Don’t Know About OpenStack Might Hurt You

What Your Customers Don’t Know About OpenStack Might Hurt You OpenStack is complicated, and explaining it to app developers and other consumers of the services it delivers can be a tough, thankless and often counterproductive task. But if you don’t cover the basics, small misunderstandings can bloom into major headaches as you move to production.

Telecom Grade Performance for Telecom Cloud?

Since the transformation of networks towards a fully virtualized environment will take a time, mixed deployments will be a reality for the years to come. During Network Transformation service provider requirements with regard to overall network performance and NF characteristics with regard to e.g. latency or high availability (99.999%) have to be met. To ensure… Continue reading Telecom Grade Performance for Telecom Cloud?
