CloudStack technical overview
- 1. Build your own Infrastructure Cloud with Apache CloudStack Kevin Kluge Vice President, Cloud Platforms Group, Citrix Systems Inc. Kevin is an expert in Large Scale Systems and Infrastructure Clouds and manages the Cloud Platforms product group at Citrix. Previously Vice President, Engineering at Cloud.com, acquired by Citrix in 2011. Held engineering leadership positions at Yahoo!, Zimbra, Corvigo, Openwave Systems, and Onebox.com. Kevin has a MS and BS in Computer Science from Stanford University.
- 2. Apache CloudStack (Incubating) An Introduction Kevin Kluge Apache CloudStack Committer
- 3. Use CloudStack to build IaaS clouds (like EC2) • Create VMs, disks • Java based networks, network services • Scalable • Self service • Many vendor integrations • Meter usage • Native and EC2 API
- 4. How did Amazon build EC2? Amazon eCommerce Platform AWS API (EC2, S3, …) Amazon Orchestration Software Open Source Xen Hypervisor Commodity Commodity Networking Servers Storage
- 5. How can you build your cloud? Amazon eCommerce Platform Your Portal (Optional) AWS API (EC2, S3, …) CloudStack or AWS API CloudStack Orchestration Software Amazon Orchestration Software ESXi, KVM, XenServer/XCP, OVM Open Source Xen Hypervisor Networking Servers Storage
- 6. Project history • 2008/2009: closed-source development • First deployments in late 2009 • May 2010: ~98% open source as GPLv3 (open core) • August 2011: 100% open source GPLv3 • April 2012: Switch to Apache License v2 • Submit code to Apache Software Foundation
- 7. Project current state • In incubation within Apache Software Foundation • Imminent first release! • Bugs and wiki mostly moved to ASF infra • Mailing list traffic moved to ASF infra • Many non-Citrix contributors, committers, and PPMC members

- 10. Virtualization alone does not make a cloud Server Virtualization Cloud Built for traditional enterprise Designed around big data, apps & client-server compute massive scale & next-gen apps • Scale-up (pool-based resourcing) • Scale-out (horizontal resourcing) • IT management-centric • Autonomic management • 1 administrator for 100’s of servers • 1 administrator for 1,000’s of servers • Proprietary vendor stack • Open, value-added stack

- 14. Object store is critical for Cloud-era workloads Amazon-Style Cloud CloudStack Mgmt. Server • Workloads are distributed across availability zones • No guarantee on zone reliability • DBs and Templates snapped to Availability Availability Availability object store. Zone Zone Zone • For small failures, recreate instance in same zone • For DR, recreate instance in different Object Store zone • Dramatically less expensive
- 16. • Single Management Server can Data Center 1 Data Center 2 manage multiple zones Data Center 2 Management Data Center 3 Servers Zone 2 • Zones can be geographically Zone 2 distributed but low latency links Zone 3 are expected for better Zone1 Zone 4 3 Zone performance • Single MS node can manage up to Data Center 2 Data Center 2 10K hosts.

Editor's Notes
- #4: What does CloudStack do? What is it?Does not do PaaS or SaaS but those can run on it.Does not connect to Amazon.
- #9: If you’re thinking about submitting software to ASF, do it!
- #11: Cloud and virtualization are different.You can have a baremetal cloud, for example.
- #12: Clouds can support both types of workloadsBut architecture to deliver SLA is different
