Distributed hyper convergence - Pushing Openstack and Ceph to the Edge

Over the last couple of years, Edge Computing has emerged to become the hottest trend in infrastructure. Data gravity and the arrival of 5G networks are driving stateful and specialized workloads to the edge, driving infrastructure to iterate at the speed of software.

This talk showcase OpenStack HCI features enabling Edge functionalities (resources control with containers and more). We’ve presented the latest capabilities of OpenStack TripleO for supporting multiple Ceph clusters on Distributed Edge nodes, in support for Distributed NFV, an emerging use case that allows using less control planes and to spread your VNF on multiple datacenters and edge deployments.

Kubernetes Storage 101: Rook and Ceph - Open Infrastructure Denver 2019

Starting from the basics, we explore the advantages of using Rook as a Storage operator to serve Ceph storage, the leading Software-Defined Storage platform in the Open Source world. Ceph automates the internal storage management, while Rook automates the user-facing operations and effectively turns a storage technology into a service transparent to the user. The combination delivers an impressive improvement in UX and provides the ideal storage platform for Kubernetes.

A comprehensive examination of use cases and open problems will complement our review of the Rook architecture. We will deep-dive into what Rook does well, what it does not do (yet), and what trade-offs using a storage operator involves operationally. With live access to a running cluster, we will showcase Rook in action as we discuss its capabilities.

How to Survive an OpenStack Cloud Meltdown with Ceph

What if you lost your datacenter completely in a catastrophe, but your users hardly noticed? Sounds like a mirage, but it’s absolutely possible.

This talk will showcase OpenStack features enabling multisite and disaster recovery functionalities. We’ll present the latest capabilities of OpenStack and Ceph for Volume and Image Replication using Ceph Block and Object as the backend storage solution, as well as look at the future developments they are driving to improve and simplify the relevant architecture use cases, such as Distributed NFV, an emerging use case that rationalizes your IT by using less control planes and allows you to spread your VNF on multiple datacenters and edge deployments.

In this session you will learn about wew OpenStack features enabling Multisite and distributed deployments, as well as review key use cases, architecture design and best practices to help operations avoid
