1 OpenStack Summit May 12-16, 2014 Atlanta, Georgia Turning the Heat up on DevOps! Providing a web-based editing experience around Heat templates ! ! Michael D. Elder! mdelder@us.ibm.com | @mdelder!

2 2014 IBM Corporation What is this talk about?! Managing Change"

3 2014 IBM Corporation DevOps Manages Risk Differently! oThe adoption of DevOps => increased velocity of application delivery! oPuts pressure on the infrastructure to respond more quickly! oSoftware Dened Environments enable you to capture infrastructure as a software artifact! Application Changes Infrastructure Changes

4 2014 IBM Corporation What is a #fullstackapp ? ! Application Changes" Infrastructure Changes" Consistent Incremental Change" " "

5 2014 IBM Corporation OpenStack Heat! oProvides a way to represent infrastructure from OpenStack! oRecently added support for client-side automation through Shell, Chef, or Puppet! oDened a new Domain Specic Language for templates: Heat Orchestration Template (HOT) format! oSupports updating existing environments in place!

6 Software Dened Landscapes!

7 2014 IBM Corporation Long, complex lifecycle Small iterative changes Role Layer Developers/ Testers Integrators Specialists Compute, Network, and Storage Platforms Apps

8 2014 IBM Corporation Developers/ Testers Integrators Specialists Capture the full stack as a blueprint document,! actionable by an automated process! Compute, Network, and Storage Platforms Apps Full Stack Blueprint (HOT) Cloud Orchestration Describe software dened resources (Compute, ! Network, Storage) alongside middleware and applications!

9 2014 IBM Corporation Apply the same blueprint to multiple environments! Compute, Network, and Storage Platforms Apps Compute, Network, and Storage Platforms Apps Compute, Network, and Storage Platforms Apps Dev/Test Cloud Production Cloud Full Stack Blueprint Dev QA Prod

10 2014 IBM Corporation Software Dened Delivery! o Version the blueprint using your source control repo (native support for git)! o Apply the new versions of the template to an existing environment or provision an entire new stack! o Validate changes with a "canary" pattern to ensure correctness and detect problems earlier! o Verify entire stack before production! Full-Stack Blueprint

11 2014 IBM Corporation Software Dened Portability! oParametrize differences between cloud environments (network ids, image ids, software versions)! oOverlay resource types for different kinds of clouds in the same blueprint! oEnable portability but optimize for each specic cloud platform! Full Stack Blueprint Config/ Params Cloud A Cloud B Config/ Params

12 Applied Theory!

13 2014 IBM Corporation Introducing Web-based HOT Editor!!

14 2014 IBM Corporation Lets get textual!!

15 2014 IBM Corporation Bring along our friends!! Nova/Glance Neutron Cinder

16 2014 IBM Corporation And Software Conguration!! UrbanCode Deploy oProvide Software Components right along side infrastructure! oRepresent these resources in HOT documents! oOnce, deployed update either from Heat or UrbanCode Deploy! oWill support Chef, Puppet, etc over time!

17 2014 IBM Corporation Manage Identity through Keystone!! oUsers authenticated upon login with keystone! oKeystone tokens used for discovery of existing content! !

18 Demo: Web-based design and provisioning of HOT! Diagram editor Source text editor HOT as-you-type validation Annotated TODO & errors Quick palette for searching Editor functions: Cut, Copy, Paste, Find & Replace Zoom diagram or text Comment out infrastructure

19 2014 IBM Corporation IBM UrbanCode focuses on Release Automation! Drive down cost Remove manual effort and wasted resource time with push button deployment processes Speed time to market Simple, graphical process designer, with built-in actions to quickly create deployment automation Reduce risk Robust configuration management, coordinated release processes, audits, and traceability Enabling clients to more rapidly deliver mobile, cloud, big data and traditional applications with high quality and low risk IBM UrbanCode Deploy automates the deployment of applications, databases and configurations into development, test and production environments, helping to drive down cost, speed time to market with reduced risk. IBM UrbanCode Release is an intelligent collaboration release management solution that replaces error-prone manual spreadsheets and streamlines release activities for application and infrastructure changes.

20 2014 IBM Corporation Example: Software! oDened by the community and vendors! oIntegration with UrbanCode Deploy enables rapid conguration of full application stack! oSupport ongoing updates of deployed versions through UrbanCode Deploy!

21 2014 IBM Corporation IBM UrbanCode Deploy! oApplication-centric view! oUnderstands components, environments, snapshots of veried component versions! oPromote from one environment to the next, with approval gates!

22 2014 IBM Corporation IBM UrbanCode Deploy & Heat Templates! oExtended to create environments in OpenStack!! ! oProvisioned resources made available for ongoing updates!

23 2014 IBM Corporation IBM UrbanCode Deploy & Heat Templates! ! oChoose HOT document, conguration, and parameters! oDiscovery service provides easy access to Glance, Neutron, Cinder resources!

24 Demo: UrbanCode Deploy Consuming HOT Templates! View current environments Create new environments in the cloud Select available resources from Nova, Neutron, Cinder Validation feedback in place Update environment over time Deploy new component versions

25 2014 IBM Corporation Managing Attributes from Different Clouds! oWeve been in the tools business for a long time and seen different approaches to common + vendor information models! oApproaches like Java EE keep a common le (web.xml) and then extend it with vendor content (ibm-web- bnd.xml)! oThese approaches become harder to maintain over time!

26 2014 IBM Corporation Cloud Portability through Decoration! oChose to extend the Heat Resource Types to understand other Service API directly! oOverlay additional properties alongside Heat and use the Resource Registry to implement different behavior! oCapability was restricted from Havana to Icehouse, so we now embed properties in metadata!

27 2014 IBM Corporation Example: Decorating Amazon! oChose this approach to support multiple cloud targets from Heat! oEnable Heat to talk natively to different cloud APIs! oSupport portability for customers who havent yet adopted OpenStack!

28 Demo: Cloud Portability! Provision Network architecture to OpenStack Provision Network architecture to Amazon (no OpenStack required) Select pre-defined configuration for each cloud

29 History!

30 2014 IBM Corporation How did we get here?! oCustomers indicated a desire for greater control over the entire application stack! oWe wanted to also support iterative development of the complete application stack, along with versioning! oWe also heard the need for cloud agnosticism and portability!

31 2014 IBM Corporation So what did we do?! oBegan with a Minimum Viable Product!! Quickly iterated to deliver an end to end experience within a few iterations (2 weeks per iteration)! Built on technology from IBM Research to describe topology and decouple representation from cloud! oDelivered some early wins, but decided to pivot towards OpenStack Heat instead of IBM Research language! Believed it would be better for users and the community! Believed it would be easier to learn and adopt by users!

32 2014 IBM Corporation Into our First Pivot! oIn January, we re-wrote much of the core technology of Landscaper, including applying Netix OSS for the underpinnings of the web designer! oMoved to HOT as our native document format! oExtended HOT to understand Software Congurations, in alignment with community proposals!

33 2014 IBM Corporation Reacting at the Speed of Open Source! oIn March, we noticed the changes coming in which changed directions for Software Conguration! oUltimately, these werent formatted around our requirements for a centralized point of control! oWe continue to support community types for software conguration, but also built custom types for UrbanCode Deploy!
