 We're going to be hearing from Intel and we're going to start with a quick video. Today the enterprise landscape is very complex and complicated. So we really need a very flexible and adaptive platform for success. The thing that excites me about cloud is empowering the users to run the workloads they want to run, whether that's an enterprise Java application or that's a new style Kubernetes application. We would like to see seamless integration of applications from VMs to containers. Flexibility. Developer tools. Container security. Performance at scale. Collaboration. Enterprise workgroups support the user community and we work very closely with enterprise operators. So we produce work such as reference architectures, ebooks and some guidance to help enterprise customers or users to run and operate their OpenStack environment in their organizations. The challenges are many. Packets are small, their real-time requirements, low latency and low jitter are real requirements here. Deploying Open Daylight and OpenStack has been a big challenge for mere mortals. Their big automated test environments force us to build the right tooling. Our response is OPN3. The community has united to combine the whole solution stack and test it end to end. The ongoing success of OpenStack depends on building up new features and new technologies and also be our talent within a diverse community. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Imad Sousou. Good morning everyone. It's great to be back here at the OpenStack Summit. Very nice job as always by the foundation and the community putting this together. Awesome to be here again. I want to start today by a big thank you to the Intel engineers who are giving over 30 sessions on panels during the summit. Actually something like 33 sessions. And I'm going to highlight a few of these this morning. Probably some of them have happened already yesterday. You can still go watch them. I am going to mention a couple of them specifically. The 5G readiness for OpenStack by Melanie. An amazing talk that happened yesterday and the women of OpenStack. So I encourage you all to see them. And I will talk a little bit about some other sessions that our engineers are leading. But amazing job by the engineers and this is really great. Okay, so as we talked in the past, there's going to be billions of devices. And estimates whatever from 30 to 50 billion devices by 2020. And already you're beginning to see that. There is, you know, analysts estimate some six, seven billion devices already online. And if you add sensors to that, particularly connected sensors, you end up with over 150 to 200 billion devices that are connected. And this obviously will generate an amazing amount, tremendous amount of data. Just a massive amount of data per person in all of the different aspects of all of these connected devices. From planes to hospitals to smart cities to autonomous cars and all of these type of devices. And that what really, this is what's really driving all the investment that from whether companies like Intel or our partners into making, creating the infrastructure, infrastructure like OpenStack, to be able to consume and analyze and act on a lot of these data. And as Mark was saying earlier, we've been at this for seven years. And it does, it is a massive problem. And a lot of this have been solved. For example, when we look at the enterprise readiness, something that Intel has been working on with many of our partners and, you know, in the community to get to that enterprise readiness. And when you look at where things are today, OpenStack is enterprise ready. You know, the complexity, yes, there is work to be done on complexity, but it has been massively reduced deployment, trolling upgrades. And all of these things that happened as a result of this amazing work that's been done by all of these engineers. We at Intel have contributed hundreds of thousands of code into this. And, you know, and leading activities, things like the bug smashes that we partner with Huawei to lead with many of you that fixed over the past year over 800 bugs. And these are the things that matter. Things that matter, you know, the work that we've been doing in the working group that I all continue to encourage everybody as I've done in the past to participate in these. You know, the product working group, the enterprise working group that is driving a lot of these, what is it that we need to be done to get to that enterprise readiness? So amazing amount of work that's been done, and, you know, it is enterprise ready. And yes, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. And we are committed to continuing, you know, that work in OpenStack and continuing to mature the areas that we want to mature in terms of, you know, areas that we've worked on and new areas. So about a year ago, a little over a year ago, we introduced clear containers. And clear containers was, at that point, was almost a concept with reference implementation that really starts taking advantage of features in the CPUs, features like VTX, that's been, that is the foundation of virtualization technology. And what we did is taking that and creating the, you know, supporting the container usage model with clear containers. Well, what are we at today with this? Clear containers technology has been integrated into Docker rocket. And it's also been integrated with the infrastructures, Kubernetes and OpenStack. And that's been a great, to us, a great accomplishment in bringing, you know, security to containers in a way that's been done for virtual machines and, you know, and having that utilize, you know, direct hardware features that bring that level of security to containers. I want to talk about a couple of, a couple of, a couple of technologies and that there is demos for them in the Intel booth. So I encourage you to all, I'll briefly mention them, but I do encourage all of you to go and take a look at these. The first one is the Intel rack scale design. The Intel rack scale design is a logical architecture that disaggregates compute networking and storage. So basically you can dynamically allocate resources, such as CPU and network and storage for your specific workloads. So, you know, completely now enabled and integrated with OpenStack. And there is actually a demo in our booth that's been done by Dell EMC, Canonical and Intel that shows off this technology. Amazing technology that I encourage all of you to go take a look at it. Another technology that we have a couple of demos in the booth about is Optane. And Optane technology is basically just crazy fast storage. You know, it's using, it's probably familiar for you with 3D X-Point. It's basically using memory technology for SSDs. And it includes, you know, the Optane itself includes the 3D X-Point memory media, along with the controller and the IP, the interconnect and the interconnect and all the associated software. Again, this combination is bringing like amazing usages and fast to be able to to support those things that we've talked about earlier. And yes, a couple of demos in the booth that I do encourage you to talk to the engineers down there and to take a look at these. Okay, so what I want to close with is back to that list of all these great and amazing sessions that are being led. And I do encourage you to take a look at all of them. My favorite ones, there's a talk, there's actually, it's a panel about OpenStack and what we're doing with OpenStack in China, what's happening in OpenStack in China and the China ecosystem. Amazing progress. I really do encourage all of you to see it. Along with another parallel session around a proof of concept about the design of scaling to 3,000 nodes by China Mobile. The optimizations on the architecture, there's a session by the engineers on that. That's an amazing one. And probably the one I'd like to also mention is the collaboration between OpenStack and OpenHPC, OpenHPC, another open source project that what I would call and what we would call the bringing in the HPC cloud. So a lot of terrific demos and a lot of, that you can see in the booth and a lot of sessions that I do encourage everybody to work with. Again, thank you very much and it's great to be here and thanks to the foundation for putting this amazing show together.
