OpenStack & Cloud Foundry

The Best Things in Cloud Are Free



The Best Things in Cloud Are Free

(Free as in Speech, not as in Beer).


Cloud Foundry is…

The world’s leading open source platform-as-a-service.

Supported by dozens of major organizations

Language and framework agnostic

Manages both VMs and containers

Orchestrates both applications and data services

Founded and commercialized by Pivotal, Inc.


An (Overly) Simple View of the World

Applications

Stateless

Run in Containers

Horizontally Scalable

Disposable

No permanent storage

Data Services

Stateful

Run in Virtual Machines

Multi-tenant

Diagonally scalable

Durable storage


Cloud Foundry: Applications and Services

Services (virtual machines):

managed by “BOSH”

Applications (containers):

managed by “Runtime”


Industry Voting: ‘Cloud Foundry’ is the standard in PaaS


Incredible Cloud Foundry Ecosystem


OpenStack and Cloud Foundry: Shared Ecosystem


CF for ‘Stackers

OpenStack and Cloud Foundry: Shared Ecosystem


How are things different?

OpenStack Cloud Foundry

Language Python Go and Ruby

Release Cycle 6 months, integrated 2 weeks, parallel

Governance Dedicated Foundation Linux Foundation project

Installation tools Various BOSH or Juju

Communication Hub IRC (#openstack-dev) Mailing lists

Source code & review Gerritt & Private Git GitHub & pull requests

Adoption Mostly OSS trials and

dev/test environments

Mostly commercial

production deployments


Different strokes for different folks

Better SLAs

Flexibility

Speed

Availability

Faster Time To Market

Mobile + Data Services

Agile and Iterative

“Avert the danger which has not yet come.”


Containers Alone Aren’t Enough…


Unit of Value

IaaS == Virtual Machine

Opaque to the system

Orchestration is post-hoc

System changes are

imperative (“launch” stuff)

PaaS == Application

Containers are transparent

Lifecycle is fully managed

System changes are

declarative (manifest.yml)


Understanding PaaS

Turning this… …into this:

.war .jar

dependencies

libraries

service

manifest

App App App

LB

DB

Multi-server run time

environment(s)

.tar.gz


Cloud Foundry “Smart Containers”

Containers (1st Gen)

• lxc or cgroups

Docker (2nd

Gen)

• Net NS

• AuFS

Smart Containers (3rd Gen)

• HA

• ACLs

• Metrics

• Scheduling


Application patterns are changing…


Language, Service and IaaS Agnostic

Why would I care?(Hint: It’s not just for the parties.)


Why IT loves Open Source Software

NOT Because:

They want to change it (because most users won't)

They think that software should be cheap or free.

But, BECAUSE:

Open Source processes force agile development.

Healthy OSS community guarantees multiple vendors.


Why would I care?

Installing Cloud Foundry will unlock the value of your

OpenStack investment.

Learning to use Cloud Foundry will move your career back

towards the creation of new business value.

Packaging your software for CF-BOSH will open up the

behind-the-firewall market to your SaaS product.
