OPENSTACK
OPENSTACK
ARCHITECTURE
Neutron
• Modular architecture
• Designed to easily scale out
• Based on (growing) set of core
services
OPENSTACK
ARCHITECTURE
Keystone
– Identity Service
– Common authorization framework
– Manages users, tenants and roles
– Pluggable backends (SQL, PAM,
LDAP, IDM, etc)
OPENSTACK
ARCHITECTURE
NOVA
– Core compute service comprised of
• Compute Nodes – hypervisors that run virtual machines
– Supports multiple hypervisors KVM, Xen, LXC, Hyper-V and ESX
• Distributed controllers that handle scheduling, API calls, etc
– Native OpenStack API and Amazon EC2 compatible API
OPENSTACK
ARCHITECTURE
Glance
– Image service
– Stores and retrieves disk images (virtual machine templates)
– Supports Raw, QCOW, VMDK, VHD, ISO, OVF & AMI/AKI
– Backend storage : Filesystem, Swift, Gluster, Amazon S3
OPENSTACK
ARCHITECTURE
Swift
– Object Storage service
– Modeled after Amazon's S3 service
– Provides simple service for storing and retrieving arbitrary data
– Native API and S3 compatible API
OPENSTACK
ARCHITECTURE
Neutron
Neutron
– Network Service
– Provides framework for Software Defined Network (SDN)
– Plugin architecture
• Allows integration of hardware and software based
network solutions
– Open vSwitch, Cicso UCS, Standard Linux Bridge,
OPENSTACK
ARCHITECTURE
Cinder
– Block Storage (Volume) Service
– Provides block storage for virtual machines (persistent disks)
– Similar to Amazon EBS service
– Plugin architecture for vendor extensions eg.
NetApp driver for Cinder
OPENSTACK
ARCHITECTURE
Horizon
– Dashboard
– Provides simple self service UI for end-users
– Basic cloud administrator functions
• Define users, tenants and quotas
• No infrastructure management

Hey Glance,
Request..
can I get the Spin m e up a
VM!
8)
RHEL 6.4
It’s Thank And make it
image?
renderi you LARGE!
8)
ng O penS tac
time! k!!
Umm, D o I
Swift
Glance Nod know you? I
need to
e see some
papers!!
Indeed I do.
Don’t
forget to capacity capacity Keystone
mount it!
Papers
Cinder, have are
that volume VM capacity good.
ready for m e ? Nova Time to
get to
work!
Ok, we
Nod need to
e Nova
find a
place to
build this
Here’s your VM.
IP, default Tag -
route and Neutron, I you’re it!
FW settings. need a
Neutro network with
n all the Node
trimmings!
