Cost pressures, explosive data growth and cloud workloads are driving the need for fundamental shift in how storage resources are being managed in the private cloud. In this session we present open Software Defined Storage (SDS) controller framework augmenting the OpenStack storage services (i.e., Cinder, Manila, Swift) to address storage management challenges and demonstrate an… Continue reading Addressing storage management challenges using open source SDS controller

In this session, we’ll offer a glimpse into two areas where NetApp continues to innovate to improve the lives of operators and users of OpenStack. Anurag Palsule of NetApp’s Manageability… Continue reading NetApp: Innovation for the OpenStack Community of Operators and Users
Providing OpenStack Service High-Availability Through Anycast Routing
Service high-availability is a core concern for any operator running, or intending to run, a production OpenStack cluster. Current “best practices” call for the deployment of a full cluster stack (generally Corosync + Pacemaker) and / or load-balancers (generally HAProxy) to manage service state and failover. While this is appropriate for a subset of OpenStack… Continue reading Providing OpenStack Service High-Availability Through Anycast Routing
Developing OpenStack Tooling without Python
OpenStack projects provide rich APIs with which operators and developers can write tooling to manage OpenStack resources. Every project has its own client, and there are a number of SDKs built around the APIs. However, the only official libraries are written in Python, leaving those of us who must develop in an alternate language to… Continue reading Developing OpenStack Tooling without Python

OpenStack Summit: Don’t change my mindset, I am not that open
If you are reading this abstract, you probably agree that Cloud technologies in general, and Openstack in particular, are a wonderful enabler of businesses transformation. At the same time you may have crossed the way of people who seemed stuck in an old way of thinking the use of technologies. They will tell you that… Continue reading OpenStack Summit: Don’t change my mindset, I am not that open
Building applications using the OpenStack SDK
In Paris, the OpenStack SDK was starting to take shape and we offered a look into why it’s being created and how it’s being done, including a few small examples. Now we’re able to build real applications on it and see the advantage first hand of bringing a better user experience to developers building software… Continue reading Building applications using the OpenStack SDK
