SoftLayer infrastructure provides the ideal platform to build scalable, available, reliable OpenStack clouds

Acquire hardware you need, when you need it

Scale in hours, not day or weeks Have an immediate global presence Low latency, high-speed connectivity

using SoftLayer’s dedicated private fibernetwork

Choose the model that works for youbring your own OpenStack or use ours, you manage or we manage

Why deploy OpenStack on SoftLayer?

Powerful Customizable On-demandEntry-level single proc servers to GPU-powered workhorses

Fully customize RAM, SSDs, HDDs, and network uplinks

bare metal server can be provisioned in 2–4 hours



That’s interesting, but…

How do I build an OpenStack cloud bylunch and scale it globally by supper?



Three-node architecture with OpenStack Networking (neutron)



Well that is easy enough….

What do I need?



Controller node

Network node

Compute node

Total: $.344 / hour or $8.25 / day



But what fun is that?

Let’s price out some usable specs.



Controller / Network Compute

Total: $.706 / hour or $16.94 / day



We forgot an essential.

The network!

Our triple-network architecture is fundamental to the performance of the SoftLayer infrastructure.

SoftLayer integrates three distinct and redundant gigabit network architectures—public, private, and data center-to-data center management—into a network-within-a-network topology.

Any device at any time can have any of three types of connections: Public network: Connection to public Internet Private network: unmetered bandwidth usage between servers and data centers Management network: Out-of-band management through an unlimited VPN connection

Public network Management network Private network

MPLS

Management (hypervisor to hypervisor) and Instance Tunnels (Guest to Guest) map to Private network.

What about External (outside world to Guest)?



Portable Private = Accessible in SoftLayerPortable Public = Accessible from World



That’s it.

Back to the install guide!



My Experience building a cluster and scaling globally – multiple regions with single, shared Keystone and Horizon services

Region 1 - San Jose (2x) Virtual Machines = 3 minutes (3x) Physical Machines = 90 minutes Copying and pasting from OpenStack Documentation = 4 hours Troubleshooting Neutron issue (no DHCP to guests) = 3 more hours

Region 2 – Singapore (2x) Virtual Machines = 3 minutes (1x) Physical Machines = 90 minutes Copying and pasting from OpenStack Documentation = 2 hours Troubleshooting Neutron issue (no outside access) = 6 more hours

Total elapsed time: ~ 9 hours (ignoring neutron debug)



I need more governance.

Approvals. Expiration Policies.
