BIT.Group presents an approach to automating the provisioning of SAP systems using CloudStack for infrastructure management and Ansible for configuration automation. This allows setting up a full SAP stack including virtual infrastructure, storage, operating system and SAP installation in a short and standardized manner. Key benefits are reduced time to deploy systems, consistent configurations with lower operations effort and higher quality. Lessons learned include the different worlds of infrastructure automation versus application provisioning.

Policy driven SDN in CloudStack ShapeBlue

The Nuage Networks Virtualized Cloud Services solution integrates seamlessly with CloudStack’s advanced networking, supporting Shared Networks, Isolated Networks and VPC’s for KVM and ESXI hypervisors. That integration is bidirectional in the way that networks can be provisioned in CloudStack and be programmed into Nuage, as can be provisioned as advanced networking topologies within Nuage and be consumed from CloudStack. Empowered with SDN, operators can boost their clouds with networking scalability and performance which through native VR networking cannot be met.

CloudStack Container ServiceShapeBlue

ShapeBlue is introducing a CloudStack Container Service (CCS) that allows users to deploy and manage container clusters within their existing CloudStack infrastructure. CCS adds new APIs to CloudStack to create and manage Kubernetes clusters on groups of VMs. It deploys Kubernetes on the VMs to orchestrate containers and provides a dashboard to manage containerized applications. A demonstration showed how to create a cluster, deploy applications, and expose them through load balancing and firewall rules.

CloudStack and SDNSebastien Goasguen

Software Defined Networking is seeing a lot of momentum these days. With server virtualization solving the virtual machines problem, and large scale object storage solving the distributed storage challenge, SDN is seen as key in virtual networking. In this talk we don't try to define SDN but rather dive straight into what in our opinion is the core enabled of SDN: the virtual switch OVS. OVS can help manage VLAN for guest network isolation, it can re-route any traffic at L2-L4 by keeping forwarding tables controlled by a remote controller (Openfow controller). We show these few OVS capabilities and highlight how they are used in CloudStack and Xen. Xen Summit presentation of CloudStack and Software Defined Networks.

The presenter provides resources for learning more about using Ansible with CloudStack.

CloudStack vs OpenStackVictor Zhang

CloudStack and OpenStack both provide platform for managing and deploying virtual infrastructure. CloudStack UI is easier to use and more user friendly, while OpenStack UI is simpler but based on Django framework. CloudStack uses monolithic controller architecture with datacenter model, while OpenStack is more fragmented with shared nothing architecture. CloudStack networking supports basic, advanced, flat and VLAN modes. OpenStack uses security groups and supports flat, DHCP and VLAN modes. CloudStack storage is primary and secondary, while OpenStack uses Cinder for block storage and Swift for object storage. CloudStack deployment is easier while OpenStack typically requires tools like Puppet or Chef.

What is Cloud computing?Richard Harvey

Cloud computing provides on-demand access to computing resources like storage, networking, and servers that can be rapidly provisioned without long wait times. There are public clouds run by third parties and private clouds within a company's own data center. Public clouds offer elastic resources without large upfront costs but less control, while private clouds offer more control within existing infrastructure limitations. Major cloud providers like Amazon Web Services offer infrastructure as a service (IaaS) like computing and storage, and platform as a service (PaaS) that automates services like databases.
