4 EMC Randy Bias Talk Plan Your OpenStack Project State of the Stack v4 The original SOTS was the first end-to-end view of OpenStack as a project. It has over 90,000 views on slide share and growing every day. This is the fourth iteration of SOTS and we will cover the good, bad, and ugly of all integrated and core OpenStack projects. This session is ideal for anyone who is new to OpenStack, who desires to understand “the big picture”, or who is trying to get an honest “self-evaluation” of OpenStack as as a whole. http://www.openstack.org/vote-vancouver/presentation/state-of-the-stack-v4
5 EMC Erez Webman, Randy Bias Demo (we need someone who can put the demo together) Cloud Storage Highly scalable distributed block storage with ScaleIO Struggling with block storage for your OpenStack deployment? Over a third of OpenStack deployments use an open source distributed block storage solution that is difficult to deploy, maintain, has problematic performance characteristics, and can’t deliver on the promise of scale-out storage. EMC, the world’s leader in storage has a number of scale-out storage solutions, including ScaleIO, the product of over a decade of development by experience storage experts. ScaleIO is a 100% software solution that runs on commodity hardware. It is easy to deploy, maintain, and operate. It is highly performant and proven in the field at scale at over 100PB. ScaleIO’s built-in “protection domains” provide smaller fault domains, while ensuring performance across the entire cluster.In this session we will give a deep dive on the ScaleIO technology, and show it running on a cluster of 100+ servers doing massive IOPS and show how easy it is to manage faults by inducing several failures. We will also show how ScaleIO can be easily downloaded directly from the EMC website and evaluated for free. ScaleIO is plug and play with OpenStack and may solve some of the most egregious block storage problems you have had to date. http://www.openstack.org/vote-vancouver/presentation/highly-scalable-distributed-block-storage-with-scaleio
6 EMC Sean Winn Talk Cloud Storage Software-defined Storage: the future of OpenStack storage systems This session will demonstrate how to use EMC ViPR as an option to build a multi-cloud SDS platform capable of handing heterogeneous storage environments. ViPR, when used in conjunction with Cinder, allows your storage platforms to be abstracted in a simplified manner while allowing storage operators to optimize resources through policy based management. http://www.openstack.org/vote-vancouver/presentation/software-defined-storage-the-future-of-openstack-storage-systems
7 EMC Jim Haselmaier, Niki Acosta, Shamail Tahir, Aaron Delp, Andre Bearfield Panel Enterprise IT Strategies Panel: Product Management Strategies for OpenStack As OpenStack grows incredibly quickly in popularity there is an increasing and consistent need to have a means to bridge the gap between app developers, operators, and the code itself. In a mainstream business this function is filled by Product Management, whose role it is to understand the needs of customers, work with engineering to build the right product, and then communicate product information back out to product marketers and/or customers using terms they understand.
The issue OpenStack faces today is that virtually any level of exposure to either the technology or the community almost immediately entails deciphering of unfamiliar terms and concepts. This means that product managers must also serve as educators and create products that and value that customers are willing to pay for, while bridging the gap between the community, engineers, customers, and users.In this panel, join OpenStack veterans as they share perspectives on OpenStack Product Management. They’ll discuss:
Strategies for turning trunk into productized solutions and offers
Pros and Cons of keeping product releases close to trunk
Creating an effective feedback loop between developers, operators, and users
Monetization strategies in the open source era
What IT organizations need to know and understand to get the most out of OpenStack
This is must-attend session for product managers and contributors. Contributors and users responsible for the creation and success of OpenStack-focused products should also find benefit.
Panelists:
Niki Acosta – Cisco (Chair)
Andre Beafield – Blue Box Group
Aaron Delp – Solidfire

8 EMC Sean Winn, Pradyumna Sampath (Hitachi) , Travis Wichert Talk Operations Have your Cake and Eat it too! Monitoring OpenStack in Layers One of the most important aspects for many cloud service providers is the ability to measure and predict cloud resource health and consumption. With the adoption of OpenStack on the rise in the Enterprise, it’s becoming more and more important to be able to seamlessly integrate with existing tools and products that exist in the marketplace.As an operator, how will you be able to predict scale-out requirements? How can you ensure availability and reliability? How can you demonstrate chargeback or showback to your various groups who make use of your infrastructure? How do you budget and plan for additional capacity? How does all of this integrate with your existing tools and skill sets?This talk will focus on the various integration points for monitoring your OpenStack infrastructure. We will be presenting a reference design which covers a layered approach to monitoring, allowing for operation at scale. We will also discuss opportunities where the community can contribute to the advancement of monitoring in OpenStack. You should leave this session with a better understanding of how to extract useful monitoring and telemetry data from your OpenStack deployment in order to operate at scale both efficiently and reliably. http://www.openstack.org/vote-vancouver/presentation/plugging-the-ceilometer-firehose-into-nagios
9 EMC Tushar Kalra Talk Things you need to know before you containerize your OpenStack deployment For those starting out, there is a tendency to treat containers like glorified light-weight VMs. When architecting your cloud around docker, you need to ensure that you adhere to some best practices to really leverage the benefits. This talk will go over some of those best practices and touch upon some of the challenges that you might encounter when deploying OpenStack services in docker containers. http://www.openstack.org/vote-vancouver/presentation/things-you-need-to-know-before-you-containerize-your-openstack-deployment
10 EMC Sean Roberts, Allison Randal, Rob Hirschfeld, Stefano Maffulli Talk State of OpenStack Product Management OpenStack is a very active community. Bursts of change happen quite often and it can be difficult to keep up if you are not immersed. We need manage the flow of critical information and decision making just like any other engineering organization. The people that represent the Product Management of OpenStack are a critical group within the community.The Product Management working group has met a few times starting in Paris. This group has organized itself around three first activities. Gathering the current state of the OpenStack projects, Defining what the Roadmap could look like, and working with the Cross Project team. The User Stories from the Win the Enterprise working group will used alongside the project needs.Join us to discuss what we have so far and let debate where we the OpenStack community should be going towards. http://www.openstack.org/vote-vancouver/presentation/state-of-openstack-product-management

12 EMC Kenneth Hui, Jesse Proudman, David Fishman, and Lisa-Marie Namphy Panel Operations What Your Customers Don’t Know About OpenStack Might Hurt You OpenStack is complicated, and explaining it to app developers and other consumers of the services it delivers can be a tough, thankless and often counterproductive task. But if you don’t cover the basics, small misunderstandings can bloom into major headaches as you move to production.Operators of OpenStack clouds have learned a lot about what app developers and other consumers of OpenStack services need to know about the project. In this session, we’ll discuss the five major tripwires that can put the best-laid deployments flat on their faces.We’ll look at the biggest landmines, including what to explain — and what to avoid — regarding governance and the integrated release cycle. We’ll also examine how to talk with new users about the best way to become engaged in the community, without scaring them away from open source altogether. We’ll also talk about how to make an honest assessment of their engineering chops and their appetite for getting into the weeds with OpenStack.These lessons from the trenches will be presented by five people who design, deploy, operate and consult on OpenStack with demanding customers. Come with an appetite for a reality check, and leave with a critical assessment of how to bring your users into OpenStack with their eyes open. http://www.openstack.org/vote-vancouver/presentation/what-your-customers-dont-know-about-openstack-might-hurt-you
13 EMC Tyler Britten / Mohamed Khalid Talk Cloud Storage OpenStack Data Storage Deep Dive With the almost limitless storage configuration options in OpenStack, architecting, operating, and troubleshooting can be daunting.

14 EMC Tyler Britten / Mohamed Khalid Talk Operations OpenStack Operations While there is a lot of information available about the various OpenStack deployment options, there’s surprisingly less about what to do once you have your OpenStack environment up and running. In this session we’ll talk about all of the hot-button OpenStack operational issues- high availability, upgrades, monitoring, troubleshooting, and more! http://www.openstack.org/vote-vancouver/presentation/operating-an-openstack-environment-a-focus-look-on-monitoring-logging-and-troubleshooting
15 EMC Drew Smith Talk Related OSS Projects Architecting OpenStack Monitoring for Next-Generation Functionality Monitoring and alerting: two things that everyone, operator to CTO, can agree are critical parts of any production deployment. In this presentation we’ll discuss the different generations of monitoring technologies – where we’ve been and where we’re going – and give a high-level overview of the current efforts and difficulties within the OpenStack ecosystem. We’ll talk about the importance of the shift away from polled service checks towards ‘push metrics’ and active telemetry, and present some concept designs for some seriously cool operator / administrator features that will be made possible in the near future. http://www.openstack.org/vote-vancouver/presentation/architecting-openstack-monitoring-for-next-generation-functionality
16 EMC Patrick Butler Monterde, Adrian Moreno, Magdy Salem Talk Related OSS Helios Burn: A REST API Fault Injection Platform Helios Burn is an out-of-the-box REST fault injection platform that captures and modifies HTTP/S traffic. It implements a man-in-the-middle interception using self-signed certificates to be able to intercept and interpret HTTPS traffic.The purpose of Helios Burn is to provide developers with a tool that injects failures in REST APIs so that developers can verify the stability and resilience of their applications and identify and prevent failures before deploying them into a production environment.HeliosBurn let’s users create custom rules to match with the REST target traffic, or they can also benefit from the preset rules for common Cloud services including OpenStack Swift and Nova. Upon a match, users are able to apply actions such as modifying any HTTP information (i.e., headers, URL, status code, payload), respond on behalf of the server, delay the request or response, or drop the connection.It is designed with an extendable modular architecture that enables third parties developers to add new modules with custom functionality.HeliosBurn is managed through a friendly web dashboard that allows users to tweak any aspect of the platform and observe the HTTP traffic going back and forth. In addition, HeliosBurn provides a full-featured API for developers to create custom clients and libraries.HeliosBurn is shipped both as a VM and a Docker microservice, making it really easy to deploy it. Depending on the need, it can be placed in a standalone server, in a Virtual Machine, or co-located with the Web server or Client application.As an open-source project, HeliosBurn welcomes and encourages any kind of collaboration from the community. http://www.openstack.org/vote-vancouver/presentation/heliosburn-a-rest-fault-injection-platform

40 VMware Tim Hinrichs, Serg Melikyan Talk Operations Governing (Murano) Application Deployment with (Congress) Policy Deploying applications is hard to get right. It requires gathering information from many different resources (e.g. the application itself, the infrastructure, the other applications already deployed), and making technical and business decisions about where and how to deploy the app while satisfying the multitude of business/infrastructure/application policies that govern the deployment process.In this talk, we describe an integration of Murano and Congress that eases the burden of policy-governed application deployment. This integration ensures that application-deployment done through Murano complies with the policy expressed in Congress—from initialization all the way through to final deployment. In this session we demonstrate how to define policy with Congress and how policy is enforced within Murano during application fulfillment, culminating in a live demo. http://www.openstack.org/vote-vancouver/presentation/governing-murano-application-deployment-with-congress-policy
41 VMware Tim Hinrichs, Ramki Krishnan Talk Telco Strategies Helping Telcos go Green and save OpEx via Policy Currently OpenStack does little to help Telcos optimize their workloads for energy consumption, cost, and speed. Today, operators must manually (or via scripts) provision, migrate, and decommission workloads to achieve the desired balance of energy/cost/speed, and they must do so repeatedly.In this talk, we describe an open architecture for automating resource optimization, where operators provide a policy describing how workloads ought to be optimized, and OpenStack continually monitors and migrates workloads to satisfy that policy. Under this architecture, operators give their policy to Congress [1] (the not-yet-incubated OpenStack project for Policy-as-a-Service), and Congress continually enforces that policy by migrating workloads as appropriate. In addition to discussing the architecture, we demo a proof-of-concept implementation where Congress migrates real VMs via Nova in response to changes in datacenter readings reported by Ceilometer. http://www.openstack.org/vote-vancouver/presentation/helping-telcos-go-green-and-save-opex-via-policy
42 VMware Dimitri Stiliadis Tim Hinrichs, Mike Cohen, Dave Lenrow, Craig Matsumoto Panel Related OSS Projects Panel: Defining Policy Frameworks for Openstack Policy has quickly become a hot topic in cloud management and orchestration. As OpenStack clouds expand, penetrate the enterprise, and evolve with technologies such as containers, policy-based solutions for capturing user intent, automating management and security, and ensuring governance and compliance for applications has emerged as a critical area for development.
This panel will explore emerging trends and projects in policy developing in the OpenStack and OpenDaylight communities. It will discuss a number of topics, including:
-What is meant “policy” in the context of OpenStack. Is there a “right” approach?
-Why is policy important? What are the key use cases?
-What projects and capabilities are present in OpenStack today

53 VMware Tracy Jones Talk Compute Diving Deeper into Nova and VMware ESXi It is well known that Nova works with the VMware hypervisor. Yet, there is quite some confusion around how Nova integrates with VMware ESXi. Does Nova interact directly with ESXi or with the vCenter Server? Is Nova capability X supported when using the VMware hypervisor? Can I take advantage of ESXi/vCenter Server’s feature Y from Nova? When should an admin use Horizon and when should one use the vCenter client? This talk will mitigate such confusion by digging into the nuts and bolts of the integration between Nova and the VMware hypervisor with the help of a demo that will also show case how some of the advanced ESXi/vCenter Server features can be leveraged from Nova. http://www.openstack.org/vote-vancouver/presentation/diving-deeper-into-nova-and-vmware-esxi

57 VMware Aaron, Tim, Alex, eric Hands on lab Congress hands on tab Congress is an OpenStack project that provides policy as a service across any collection of cloud services in order to offer governance and compliance for dynamic infrastructures. In this lab users will get access to a live OpenStack setup with congress already installed and will be able to walk through several key congress deployment use cases and get hands on experience working with congress. Users will write policies that interface with several OpenStack projects (neutron, glance, nova, keystone, cinder, murano) and understand how the policy language works and how one can tame their cloud with congress. http://www.openstack.org/vote-vancouver/presentation/congress-hands-on-lab
58 VMware Aaron, Pierr, Ramiro Salas, Pierre Ettori; Enterprise Extending OpenStack Congress to the PaaS layer for Next-Gen App Policy Controls Cloud Foundry is a open source cloud computing platform as a service (PaaS) which allows users the ability to deploy and scale their application easily. The platform provides several as as a service features such as redis, mysql, mongo, etc that application developers can leverage with their applications. Congress integrates with Cloud Foundry and allows Security teams to audit and define policies over specific applications. For example, a security team could define a policy saying applications deployed in production require https or a specific autoscaling configuration. In this talk we’ll give an overview of congress and demo this integration. http://www.openstack.org/vote-vancouver/presentation/extending-openstack-congress-to-the-paas-layer-for-next-gen-app-policy-controls
59 EMC Raghavan N. Srinivas, etc. Hands-On Labs Cloud Foundry on OpenStack Hands-on: It’s what on the Stack that matters! The goal for both OpenStack and Cloud Foundry foundations is to build open source software and communities. The software is intended for public, private and managed clouds. CloudFoundry is intended for a variety of IaaS including OpenStack. This Hands-on session will cover the basics of Cloud Foundry with OpenStack. We will discuss the motivation for a PaaS, how they complement IaaS and OpenStack in particular. Attend this session for a quick technical overview of Cloud Foundry and to be able to deploy a variety of apps. on the platform that handle requirements such as HA, Scaling, Logging, Monitoring, Debugging, etc. First, we deploy CloudFoundry OpenStack. We will look at how to leverage BOSH to manage OpenStack VM instances. Then we’ll dive into a hands-on lab showing the use of PaaS to deploy a wide variety of applications and micro services to an OpenStack cloud. This session will be of value to developers, devops, systems adminstrators, and any IT decision makers.After attending this session you should be able to walk away with a good understanding of Cloud Foundry and how it complements an IaaS like OpenStack.We will cover the following topics as short exercises
o Installing Cloud Foundry and OpenStack running on a public cloudo Managing Cloud Foundry install and system administrationo CloudFoundry internals and conceptso cf push sample applicationo High Availabilityo Multiple exercises involving the followingo Scaling including Autoscalingo Hooking up MySQL and other serviceso User Provided Services and Loggingo Security groupso Tying things together
