Our mission:
Build and manage Linux servers. Servers can be
traditional ones or using cloud ones from some cloud
services such as Amazon AWS.

Main objectives:
- Build servers (app, db or any kind of servers) ready for
deploy
- Research methods to deploy source code to servers
- Monitor servers
- Auto scaling
Session1:
Build public or private cloud using Openstack
Difficulty: Hard
Applicable: Yes (but not trivial)
Target environment: inside company to
support general developments (e.g. use as
staging servers, QA test environment)

Introduction
The OpenStack Open Source Cloud
Mission:

To produce the ubiquitous Open
Source Cloud Computing platform
that will meet the needs of public
and private clouds regardless of
size, by being simple to implement
and massively scalable.

Openstack members & contributions
Service providers offering an IaaS compute platform or services higher
up the stack (e.g. Rackspace)
IT departments acting as cloud service providers for business units and
project teams (any company)
Processing big data with tools like Hadoop (NSA)
Scaling compute up and down to meet demand for web resources and
applications (service companies)
High-performance computing (HPC) environments processing diverse
and intensive workloads (CERN)

Build QA test environment::Results
To provide isolation, each test environment runs in a separate tenant, or project. For
example, theres one project for the test team, one for the consultant team, and so on.
Heat templates enable rapid creation of new environments. The test team can create new
Heat templates on its own.
Self-service is provided with OpenStack CLI/Horizon and Heat templates.
Total cost of the OpenStack solution is lower, because the company doesnt have to pay for
licenses, and can use commodity software and hardware.
The test team owns their test environments. They can create and delete environments
anytime they need to.
OpenStack lets IT set up quotas for each project. OpenStacks Ceilometer component can be
used for monitoring resource consumption of cloud instances, as well.

Use cases (cont.)
CERN (European Organization for
Nuclear)

Rackspace hosting
Option 1: Use public clouds (e.g.
tryStack.org for free)
Option 2: Using DevStack.org (mostly for
Openstack development env)
Option 3: Install by yourself
How to test/setup Openstack
Option 3: Install by yourself
Using Chef + Vagrant (with devstack or
multi-nodes)
Install directly (using official guides)
Using juju charms (ubuntu cloud service)

How to test/setup Openstack
Openstack community in
Vietnam
Setup Openstack (without Heat)
Manage Openstack services using Ruby
gem openstack (a.k.a ruby-openstack)
Build sample Rails project that using
Openstack Swift to store uploaded
photos.
What we have done so far
Setup Openstack (without Heat)
Intel Core i5-2320 @ 3.0GHz
RAM: 8G
HDD: 500GB
OS: CentOS
Virtualization: QEMU

URL: http://192.168.1.107
login: framgia/framgia

What we have done so far
Sample Rails app: Framgia Picture Show
Goals: Upload and store photos to
Openstack Swift

Rails 4
Carrierwave
Openstack Swift (via Fog gem)


Demo
- Laptop core i5 is too slow to run (but
desktop with the same core is OK :( )
- Understanding the whole stack takes
time!
Difficulties during research
Implement Openstack frastructure is not
trivial mission
But it would be worthy in the future
when we build large scale web apps
So we hope to use at step by step, start
from development environment
Because future of IT would be in the...
cloud
