As Rackspace has grown the footprint of it’s Public Cloud from a few hundred nodes in 3 regions to 10’s of thousands (and growing) running in 6 global locations, we’ve had to make choices along the way. Some of them were, even by our own assessment, pretty crazy! In this talk, we’ll dive into a… Continue reading A Few Bat@#$% Crazy Things We Did to Scale OpenStack
Tacker: Virtual Network Function Life-cycle Management for OpenStack
NFV (Network Function Virtualization) represents a strong use case for OpenStack in the telco space. Up to this point, however, the NFV MANO (management and orchestration) working group has penciled in OpenStack as only a single component: the VIM (virtual infrastructure manager). In this talk, we will discuss OpenStack Tacker, a network service lifecycle management… Continue reading Tacker: Virtual Network Function Life-cycle Management for OpenStack

OpenStack: Group Based Policy Hands-on Lab
Group Based Policy (GBP) provides declarative abstractions for achieving scalable intent-based infrastructure automation within OpenStack. In this session, users will access a GBP + Neutron setup and have a tour through the most common use cases, including but not limited to policy-driven application life cycle management and advanced service chain deployment. Users will learn how… Continue reading OpenStack: Group Based Policy Hands-on Lab
The anatomy of an action: mining the event storm
A key feature when monitoring and debugging any Cloud infrastructure is to provide the ability to trace, track, and collate all the individual, discrete steps that compose an event. A typical resource action in OpenStack is often a combination of smaller tasks — which given the distributed nature of OpenStack — can fail at unpredictable… Continue reading The anatomy of an action: mining the event storm
