USENIX LISA14 Talk: Deploy and Scale OpenStack


I had the great pleasure to deliver a 90 minute talk at the USENIX LISA14 conference, in Seattle, Washington.

During the course of the talk, we managed to:

  • Deploy OpenStack Juno across 6 physical nodes, on an Orange Box on stage
  • Explain all of the major components of OpenStack (Nova, Neutron, Swift, Cinder, Horizon, Keystone, Glance, Ceilometer, Heat, Trove, Sahara)
  • Explore the deployed OpenStack cloud's Horizon interface in depth
  • Configured Neutron networking with internal and external networks, as well as a gateway and a router
  • Setup our security groups to open ICMP and SSH ports
  • Upload an SSH keypair
  • Modify the flavor parameters
  • Update a bunch of quotas
  • Add multiple images to Glance
  • Launch some instances until we max out our hypervisor limits
  • Scale up the Nova Compute nodes from 3 units to 6 units
  • Deploy a real workload (Hadoop + Hive + Kibana + Elastic Search)
  • Then, we deleted the entire environment, and ran it all over again from scratch, non-stop
Slides and a full video are below.  Enjoy!




Cheers,
Dustin
