ANALOGY: PETS vs FARM ANIMALS
PETS =
TRADITIONAL WORKLOADS
FARM ANIMALS =
CLOUD WORKLOADS
Credit : Tim Bell @ CERN Labs, Bill Baker @ Microsoft, and others
● Pets are given names like
● rover.internal.redhat.com
● They are unique, lovingly hand
raised and cared for
● When they get ill you nurse them
back to health
● Farm animals have tag numbers
like piggie242.redhat.com
● They are almost identical to each
other
● When they get ill you get another
one

A different kind of architecture...
TRADITIONAL WORKLOADS
● Stateful virtual machines
● Big VMs: vCPU, vRAM, local storage
inside VM
● Application SLA aligned to VM itself
● Relies on underlying HA technology to
meet SLA goals
● VMs scale up: add vCPU, vRAM, etc.
● Applications not designed to tolerate
failure of VMs
CLOUD WORKLOADS
● Stateless VMs, application distributed
● Small VMs: vCPU, vRAM, storage
separate
● Application SLA not dependent on any
one VM
● Many instances can provide application
availability
● Applications scale out: add more VMs
● Applications designed to tolerate
failure of VMs

What is OpenStack?
● Fully open source cloud “operating system”
● Provides all of the tools/building blocks required to build a
cloud environment from scratch - mimics public clouds
● Started by NASA and Rackspace but now has an
independent foundation in which key industry members are
present, including Red Hat
● Enormous market hype with investment from all major
players, e.g. HP, Dell, IBM... and with 1000's of developers
worldwide

Why does the world need OpenStack?
● Cloud is widely seen as the next-generation IT delivery model
● Agile & flexible
● Utility-based on-demand consumption
● Self-service drives down overhead and maintenance
● Public clouds setting the benchmark, organisations want the same level of
functionality but behind the firewall
● Not all organisations are ready for public cloud
● Applications are being built differently today-
● More tolerant of failure
● Make use of scale-out elastic architectures
● OpenStack enables organisations to achieve this, today... and without
lock-in.

OpenStack is not a replacement for
enterprise virtualisation

OpenStack Progression
● Enterprise-hardened
OpenStack software
● Delivered with an enterprise
life cycle
● Six-month release cadence
offset from community
releases to allow testing
● Aimed at long-term production
deployments
● Certified hardware and
software through the Red Hat
OpenStack Cloud
Infrastructure Partner
Network
● Supported by Red Hat
● Installs on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux only
● Latest OpenStack software,
packaged in a managed
open source community
● Facilitated by Red Hat
● Aimed at architects and
developers who want to
create, test, collaborate
● Freely available, not for sale
● Six-month release cadence
mirroring community
● No certification, no support
● Installs on Red Hat and
derivatives
● Open source, community-
developed (upstream) software
● Founded by Rackspace Hosting
and NASA
● Managed by the OpenStack
Foundation
● Vibrant group of developers
collaborating on open source
cloud infrastructure
● Software distributed under the
Apache 2.0 license
● No certifications, no support

OpenStack Components
● Modular architecture
● Building blocks for creating a cloud
● Set of modular services with well defined APIs
● Vast scale-out design
● Based on a (growing) set of core-components
