AppFormix: Control Application Performance from the Infrastructure

Controlling the performance of your applications in real-time and maximizing the efficiency of virtual infrastructure within OpenStack and Docker Environments is the key to boosting IT ROI. In this demo, we will show how application performance and maximizing infrastructure utilization can exist in perfect harmony.…Full session details here:

Orchestration across multiple cloud platforms using HEAT

Heat allows the user to set up HOT templates that describe the dependencies and the flow of the infrastructure resources that should be deployed to meet specific use case requirements. The Heat engine understands the order it needs to orchestrate the execution of the flow defined in the template. Apart from Orchestrating the template execution… Continue reading Orchestration across multiple cloud platforms using HEAT

Creating custom elements for Diskimage-builder

Diskimage-builder (DIB) is an awesome method for creating guest images for both metal and vm use. DIB is generally considered part of TripleO, but it can be used for any style cloud that would benefit from automated, repeatable, formula driven guest images. In this presentation, I would like to demonstrate some of the basics of… Continue reading Creating custom elements for Diskimage-builder

Docker Networking in OpenStack: What you need to know now.

Docker had a breakout year in 2014 with more than 100M downloads and its momentum continues into this year. While virtualization technology abstracts away the hardware, Docker instead abstracts away the OS. While this seems like an incremental improvement, this design paradigm of bringing virtualization one layer closer has potentially tremendous ramifications. But what new… Continue reading Docker Networking in OpenStack: What you need to know now.

Managing logging in your OpenStack environment

Given an OpenStack deployment where services are varied and distributed across many hosts, creating an efficient and usable logging solution can present quite a few challenges. From an Operators perspective, not having useful or easily accessible logs can massively hamper issue resolution and health checking efficiency, but what can we do to ensure the logs… Continue reading Managing logging in your OpenStack environment

Telco NFV Management in a Distributed, Heterogeneous Cloud Infrastructure

Ericsson Cloud Manager (ECM) functions as NFV Orchestrator and VNF life cycle manager . It enables uniform handling of VNF/Virtualized Application orchestration in a heterogeneous cloud environment consisting of different virtualization management systems such as OpenStack, VMware vCenter or Microsoft Azure. To achieve such uniformity it uses catalog driven workflow orchestration and a flexible adaptation… Continue reading Telco NFV Management in a Distributed, Heterogeneous Cloud Infrastructure
