1 Accelerate POC to Production: OpenStack with FlexPod Dave Cain Reference Architect, Muhammad Afzal Engineering Architect, 1 October 28 th, 2015

2 OpenStack Evolving Appliances simplify deployment Development Does it work? Can I access it? Operations How can I provide IaaS OpenStack at scale, with dependable, scalable infrastructure? Monitoring Lifecycle Upgrading Support Can we make both Development and Operations Happy? 2

3 What is FlexPod? Core architecture Cisco UCS B or C server Cisco Fabric Interconnect, Cisco UCS Manager Cisco Nexus switch Optional virtual switch Guiding principles High availability Flexibility and scalability Reduced Risk Repeatable Consistent deployment NetApp FAS storage with Data ONTAP NetApp E-Series storage Bare Metal servers Hypervisors: VMware, Microsoft, KVM 3

4 FlexPod Makes OpenStack Easier Proven and trusted technology with best of breed components Red Hat, NetApp, and Cisco Engineered integration with Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform (RHEL-OSP) Installer Comprehensively tested and documented design and deployment guides Over 100 Cisco Validated Designs (CVD) and NetApp Verified Architectures (NVA) NVA CVD 4

5 NetApp Integration Cinder Storage Service Catalog Map features of underlying NetApp storage to create classes of service through Cinder volume types Aligned to workloads. For example: Archival workloads should have thin provisioning, compression, and deduplication Transactional database needs high IOPS with SSD disks and data protection Volume Type archived_data general_purpose Extra Specs {netapp_thick_provisioned=false netapp_dedup=true netapp_compression=true} {netapp_disk_type:sas netapp_thin_provisioned=false} transactional_db {netapp_disk_type:ssd netapp_thin_provisioned=false netapp_mirrored=true} 5

6 NetApp Integration Instance Caching After a Cinder volume is created from Glance image, cache it in the NFS image cache locally on NetApp FlexVol volume Future volumes are cloned, not copied from this NFS image cache Extremely space efficient Shares same blocks as cached image Only deltas take up new blocks on disk 6
