How Neutron builds network topology for your multi-tier application?

In this session, I will correlate an example multi-tier application network architecture with Neutron and demonstrate how beautifully Neutron builds the topology, combining multiple open source components. From a high level, you’ll learn about the process in a network deployment of an example multi-tier application—composed of a web server cluster, application server cluster, and database… Continue reading How Neutron builds network topology for your multi-tier application?

Network Connectivity in a Hybrid OpenStack Cloud

This session will discuss considerations for setting up and using a site-to-site (network-to-network) VPN connection from your on-premise datacenter that is running OpenStack Juno to an off-premise private cloud environment, running on OpenStack Icehouse. Also we’ll describe the openstack control plane network traffic and discuss the traffic that flows across the VPN connection. We’ll also… Continue reading Network Connectivity in a Hybrid OpenStack Cloud
