 All right good afternoon everybody If you are here, I want to congratulate you You you have found one of the great Easter eggs of the open stack summit So if you have avoided all of the attention to happy hours and all of the events that are happening at this time of day at the end of Day one And now you're catching up on the video stream at the back of the room I'll still give you credit you still you still found the Easter egg But this is going to be a very critical and key presentation by the end of it We will be giving details about the 10,000 node developer cloud that was mentioned in a modsusu's Keynote this morning and lets people know how developers can get access to a the world's largest developer environment to test code For performance and scale in a way that's never been Available before so that is the Easter egg if you're here Congratulations on finding it if you're watching it on video congratulation for finding it But it's a very important announcement. That's part of the broader deck. We'll start with introductions. So I'm Darren Hansen I'm the VP and GM of open stack private cloud at rack space So we have a team that is focused on the design build deployment and in the ongoing Operations of open stack clouds for customers that want to run open stack in either a Rackspace data center or one of their data centers and are looking for an operating partner that will be there with them all along the way for patching maintenance upgrades and Really an extension of their IT team going forward into perpetuity. So that's a little bit about my role in my team and Rushi and David why don't you guys introduce yourselves as well? Sure. I'm Ruchi Bhargav I work for Intel in its software solutions group in the open source technology center and director of engineering for data center and cloud software engineering and I'm basically Accountable for engineering Of the joint engineering effort which we do with rack space as part of this initiative My name is David Brown. I'm the director of data center software planning in the open source technology center under a mod Susu And I'm also the alliance manager on the engagement. We're going to talk to you about today the Intel rack space engagement. So Perfect so and and that's a good point I'm also the alliance manager on the rack space side for the Intel and rack space relationship and what we're here to talk about today is a broad umbrella that is referred to as the open stack innovation center and We will give you a complete overview and rundown of of everything that this partnership between Intel and rack space brings to the OpenStack community Before I do that. I'm gonna let David spend a few minutes talking about The cloud for all initiative at Intel and how this Collaboration fits into the cloud for all initiative at Intel. I'll take back over and walk you through the mission and vision of Our overall partnership Rushi's gonna spend some time talking about our joint roadmap and some of the work that we've already done relative to advancing important projects inside of OpenStack and addressing some of the important bugs that are irritants for many of our Combined customers and then we'll talk about at the end The shared cluster that is now available for the development community Which we launched earlier this morning and is now live for members of the community to use So David, why don't you start by giving us an overview of cloud for all? Okay? So cloud for all you heard a lot about cloud for all this morning from a Matsu So during his keynote and frankly if you were in the class right before this one in this room You heard a lot about it as well. So three times the charm. I guess You know you'll have it embedded in your mind Basically, but what Intel cloud for all is and and the reason I want to explain what it is because it's a it's a foundation for the Relationship we have for the rack space Intel cloud for all is really Intel's initiative to unleash Thousands of clouds that are being pent up to be built and deployed inside of organizations across the world Basically, it's based on the premise that by 2020 there'll be 50,000 connected devices 50 million connected devices 50 billion connected devices And also that 85% of all applications will be cloud apps and with that there's a great pent up demand for Roughly 40 45,000 clouds to be deployed and that there's science behind that number the 40 45,000 Corporations across the world who have an opportunity to deploy clouds So the we're excited about what what there is to offer and there's we're excited about what the ecosystem can benefit from With this opportunity for cloud deployments, but we just frankly don't think it's going quick enough It's It's fragmented in some areas. It's complex to install. It's complex to to deal with and Frankly, there's some features still lacking now A lot of this has been worked on over the past couple years in the various work groups and various organizations that have taken Enterprise readiness to heart and really want to drive it home and make it make it happen There's been a lot of progress made but there's still work to be done And that's why you're going to hear about what we've got underway here to get that work done There's there's three pillars that make up cloud for all one is invest in the ecosystem The second is optimize for for the right workloads and the right opportunities for cloud deployments and the third is align the industry around cloud development and cloud Deployments the rack space engagement with Intel is pretty much centered in the invest arena where we're investing together in the way of engineering headcount equipment for development clusters and Training programs to make this a reality and to really be able to bring this home For the sake of the community and for the sake of cloud deployments and Worldwide so with that I'm going to let Darren Drive into more detail on the engagement and we'll we'll take it from there perfect. Okay. I'm gonna do the manual advancement so You know rack spaces we've been out working with our customers on a on a daily basis and over the last couple of years actually deploying open-stack clouds for Companies that range from you know the fortune tin down to upper-mid market and Serving our customers. We've also had a lot of partnerships come across our desk as well And the reason that the Intel partnership is so compelling for rack space is because Intel and rack space share a couple of key philosophies that really drive this mission Do those two philosophies are number one that we are both Heavily invested in seeing the adoption of open-stack go more quickly And to do that we know that certain features and functionality and The dread the hard work of addressing some of the bugs that that exist in the software have to be addressed because we want to see Institutions and companies adopt this technology faster for Intel that means that They can optimize their Intel platforms and chipsets and silicon for open-stack and as these clouds get adopted They will surely enjoy You know the fruits of that growth from the standpoint of the products and services that they are Optimizing for customers every day for rack space We are looking to grow the the the pie if you will of customers that are seeking an operating partner They're looking for the ongoing service and support associated with delivering these open-stack clouds for our customers every day And simplifying the complexity of deploying open-stack getting started with open-stack and getting started on their cloud journey So the second key philosophy that Intel and rack space share is that we are both passionate about the open standard and Avoiding vendor lock-in neither one of us is interested in creating a new distribution of open-stack All the work that we are going to do together on a joint roadmap Bug fixes go without saying but all all of the work that we are going to do together on a joint roadmap Each of us are uniquely committed to making sure that everything that we do together gets contributed backup stream to the community and then we're both very interested as you'll see in working with the community to Advance these these agendas that we both see and we both have working with the community to make sure that It is a tied effort with the foundation and by no means anything where you know It's it's a couple of companies trying to go our own way So the areas of focus when Rushi gets up here and talks in a few moments about the shared roadmap Where we want to focus the investments focus the resources and focus the people from both sides of the house are on these key Illities if you will the manageability of open-stack the ease of upgrades scalability and growth reliability and high availability of these platforms security of the open-stack platform and again, you know, you'll see how many bugs We've already worked together. We're both committed to you know, the the hard work of operating open-stack and what it means to Go back and you know, everybody's interested in doing new feature work And that's there's there's a lot of great work that happens every day relative to the next big thing the next new feature I think everyone though is also hearing those users that are actually deploying open-stack are looking for more of the Heavy lifting of just fix a lot of the bugs that exist within the the platform as it exists today And address some of those things that are causing pain So the open-stack innovation center has five critical objectives or pillars if you will guiding principles That really direct our two companies the first is and David alluded to it We are going to recruit hire and train a next generation of open-stack developers so this morning in the in the keynote by Jonathan he talked about the the Gap the talent gap with people that can develop inside of open-stack and so Rackspace and Intel Intel has committed over the course of the next three years To add to the number of developers of upstream open-stack to the tune of hundreds And when you combine that with the additional growth that Rackspace will experience We are both committed to bringing on more talent new resources to join the open-stack community And what we're doing is we are welcoming them to a physical and virtual place in our headquarters in San Antonio where we will we have created and already launched a Multiple module training program that teaches these new developers. First of all if they're new to open-stack We have to teach them the fundamentals of open-stack, but then we walk them through How to develop an open-stack how to write code for open-stack how to contribute how to get your code Reviewed how to get your code accepted And then the end module is actually teaching those developers how to be mentors for the next bastion of developers that are coming in the door So we've already welcomed onsite our first dozen or so Intel new developers We have also have 15 more starting on November 9th So on a monthly cadence you're gonna see us add between 10 and 15 new developers to this to this community And put them through a very specific training program for how to become effective contributors The next stage of this and when I when I direct you later to the website that you can use to get more information The next phase of this training will be we want to work with other companies and individuals That are interested in either becoming open-stack developers improving their open-stack development skills or want to invest in you know their own Set of developers that know how to affect the upstream and Influence the community. We're very interested in companies individuals and institutions that are willing to send people to San Antonio To go through some of this training curriculum that we think is very compelling and very effective in creating the developers of the future The second guiding principle is that everything we do will align with the foundation and I'm going to talk about that more specifically on another slide But it speaks to the commitment of making sure that this is done in partnership with the foundation And far from in departure from the foundation Third is a focus on the shared agenda. I talked about the the key work areas of the illities that we're going to be focused on Rushi will come back up here in a few moments and Rushi is going to be able to walk you through not only the bugs that we've already Worked as part of that shared agenda, but a shared roadmap for the M&N Open-stack releases of what our teams are going to be working on side-by-side to advance the ball Fourth and you'll you'll hear me say this a couple of times Rushi will reiterate it everything that we do Will be contributed back upstream not interested in creating proprietary code not interested in creating lock-in not interested in creating new distributions and then finally I think hopefully what a lot of people are interested in is Together the two companies are building out the world's largest developer test cloud It's going to be a 2,000 physical node environment 1,000 nodes are already online in a Dallas-Fort Worth data center hosted by rack space another thousand are coming online in Oakland, California that will be Supplied by Intel that next thousand nodes will be on-site by the end of the year and this is the Unprecedented environment where we can collaborate with all other institutions in the community And we're doing some really compelling and groundbreaking things Marantis was up here on the session before talking about what they're doing Red Hat's doing a lot of interesting work with with Intel as part of the cloud for all initiative We're going to be a kind of opening up to anyone regardless of different agendas that these companies may have But that are all focused on the same goal of advancing the roadmap advancing the features And advancing the community and it's going to be a great collaboration between companies But the real invitation is for anyone in the community We will share at the end of the presentation a link that you can go to if you're interested in joining us on this journey if you're interested in joining us on the roadmap and you have either Tied directly to our roadmap or you'd like to make a proposal for a capability or feature that you'd like to have access to Resources to test your own code tested at scale and tested at an unprecedented performance capability It's going to be an open environment where we're going to invite anyone with a good idea To come in to come in the door and David will talk a little bit about the governance process for that Towards the end of the presentation so I talked about recruit hire and train and what each one of the Developers coming into the program will learn when you look at this picture here in the background of the picture This was the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the OpenStack Innovation Center at our headquarters in San Antonio in September and that group in the back is the first set of Intel developers that hit the ground in San Antonio. They are an incredibly engaged and motivated group of people We're very very excited to have them on site at Rackspace and very excited to receive the the next cohorts that come through starting in November And at the end of the presentation will also show you a brief video that she gives you a behind-the-scenes peek And gives you a sense for the fact that the OpenStack Innovation Center as a place and as a physical space for Collaboration is very real and off to a great start Aligning with the foundation. This is the second guiding principle this is both a Top-down and bottoms-up approach to working with the community to make sure that what we are working on together is Validated by others that are working on OpenStack every day so each of us each of our companies has members of The enterprise working group the operators working group and the product working group All three of those teams we work very closely with those Communities to get feedback on our roadmap. Are we working on the right things that customers are interested in? Are we working on the right features that are going to advance the adoption of this platform and at the same time? They were working with those groups in the OpenStack Foundation again We're going to be engaging the community from a bottoms-up perspective Inviting individual contributors and individual participants in the community to come to us with their ideas You can either review the mode roadmap and say I would like to get involved in that in a very specific way or The the intake process will also allow members of the community to make a proposal Hey, I'd like to test this new feature. I'd like to test this new capability Not necessarily represented by your roadmap, but I'm willing to make a case that if you give me resources I will bring the ideas and I will bring my talent and we will invite them in to collaborate with us to to drive All kinds of new ideas Using the resources that we have available to us. So by working top down by working bottom up This will all Revolve around a six to twelve month rolling roadmap, which you'll see here You'll see the first iteration of that roadmap here in a moment of the the first set of priorities that we have for the M and in releases the ongoing recruitment and training of adding talent to the wheel and adding talent to the virtuous development cycle and The two thousand node cluster that we are bringing online. So it's a Just a huge effort, but it's also Going to be a very collaborative effort with everybody involved in the community And with that I'm going to turn it over to Rushi and she's going to talk a little bit about the shared agenda and The roadmap and the bug work that we've already done Thanks, Darren. So this roadmap which you see up here Was put together of you know when we announced this Partnership was in July end of July Took a month or so to work together get our teams kicked off and we basically aligned to the different releases of OpenStack given that if you look Liberty release and The where we are now Tokyo we spent a lot of time recruiting people and Getting the cluster set up has then talked about the first cluster is already up and running in Dallas Fort Worth second one is being set up in Oakland, California and The first once we got the first round of people new people new to OpenStack folks hired Situated in San Antonio We ran a joint training program rack space training put together, you know, how to contribute to OpenStack how to different in-depth overview of the different components of OpenStack and Within rack space and Intel we identified The critical bugs which would be required to be fixed in order for enterprise adoption to go up So current initiatives which have been working Both at Intel and rack space. There are certain bugs which were in the critical list our teams both at Intel and rack space put that together and That is the focus of this initiative here Then phase two which will begin after the summit here when people go back after doing the different design sessions at the summit will consist Focus on rolling upgrades reliability and scalability and I'll go in a little bit. I'll show you the details on the next slide and Phase three would be again continuous hardening in terms of more bug fixes but focus on HA security and compliance and You can basically we tie it up to the different releases of OpenStack L is go back and So this is basically the phase one phase two phase three actually not this. This is a shared bugs Focus if you notice the total number of bugs which we had listed was five hundred and sixty not a small number new group of people along with the existing Intel and rack space employees work together we had 241 already in the queue 211 closed and 108 are being worked. So if we finish These 108 which are being worked pretty much half of those five sixty bugs will be fixed in this It's a pretty good accomplishment and I think the team needs to be thanked for it and this is the shared agenda for in terms of the roadmap and You know, I'm not going to go over the list of items But in terms of manageability of a good focus has been in the community on putting together Rolling upgrades for example rolling upgrades one of the key methods which that at least with from Intel's perspective What I've been aware of is the versioned optics implementation in the core services which are required for anybody to upgrade With zero downtime and then hardening of the online schema migration. This is again a holding thing which will prevent us from doing rolling upgrades and then age anti-affinity rules being set up and then if you can look the details between reliability scalability and security and compliance So if you have any questions about the line items here feel free to contact me Jason from Rack space Bevo folks from Intel Eric and Shane are all here So, you know the purpose of this agenda is it's going to be updated At six-month cadence, but we will be revising and reviewing it every three months as part of a review forum And you know those of you who were here the presentation prior to this the Mirantis Intel presentation There's also a similar roadmap there and we are working actually together Rack space Intel and Mirantis so that the focus being enterprise adoption to drive up Eliminate the gaps. We that's going to be the focus here. So if you have any Features gaps, which you would like to put in contact us So contribute all up all the work upstream. That's something which then it's been talking about This is not about, you know, creating a distribution downstream It's more about everything what we are going to do as part of this initiative is going to be upstream so contributors, it's who we are and Contribute is what we shall do. So that's the mantra which our teams will be living up and working with so I think I'm going to pass it on to David who's going to talk about the L is going back forward Okay, so one of the things when the the racks based Intel engagement was announced that That that got some press was this environment this 2000 node cluster and From what I heard through the various work groups and so forth is that there was a lot of interest In the foundation and in the community for what this meant. What how could I get access to it? What does this mean for me? Is it is it's something that's protected by? arm guards and so forth so We really want to try to take out the mystery of what this is all about like Derek's Darren said it's a 2000 node cluster funded by Intel Supported maintained by rack space. So when you use the cluster for testing or patch testing you'll be supported by the The racks the rack space team who will be supporting the cluster Multiple provisioning options to be made available this the standard load will be available The rack space stand load will be available at the get-go and this is a Not not distribution, but it's based off a trunk if you need a certain environment and we can take down The environment off the nodes that you need and we can put a different environment on there We we understand that there's flexibility and many options in the industry We want to make sure that we we allocate for that and it's geo distributed A thousand nodes in Oakland a thousand nodes in Dallas and therefore testing for cross-geo scalability as well, so With the vision that we have here one of the things that we feel pretty strongly about is that scalability Testing in general is important for open stack, but scalability is where Rubbers means the road where we've heard a lot of challenges and folks saying that they just can't scale open stack beyond 5,100 200 nodes So we've got 2,000 nodes that can open itself up for testing and scalability opportunities and we ask you to Make use of it as much as possible The thousand cloud nuster the thousand node cluster dream reality when you commit to upstream One of the things you're going to see in the governance slide and I know that sometimes when you see slides this it makes you want to run out run out of the room and hide but There's a process we we put in place for how you use the cluster It's not an onerous process. It's just a process that makes sure that we Do the best job of determining what's going to be on the cluster what we're going to get out of it And what the community is going to get out of it. I want to draw your attention to the the URL Where a lot of this information is listed. I spend some time there There's templates and so forth for how you get Submissions to the cluster, but basically you make a request and the request is based on You use the case details what outcomes benefits do you see to the test and a commitment obviously to to share it upstream There's a governance board in place to approve what you've requested and this is not Intel dictating What's going to be on the cluster not on the cluster. It's not rack space dictating. What's on the cluster? What's not on the cluster? It's a combination of Intel rack space and the foundation Intel has two people on the on the found it on the governance board Rack space will have one and there'll be two folks from the foundation. So this is truly community effort We will decide that those five people will decide the best use of the cluster and will approve your request as it comes in and not Only approve it but also Prioritize it because we expect that everyone's going to want to use these clusters. We hope that that's the case We want to make sure that we've got an opportunity to really approve it, but to prioritize and Make sure we allocate the best way possible Assuming you get to get approved you you leverage the environment you build the environment you you test you fix repeat test and Finally you share and this is very important one of the things we're going to expect to see in the request and we're going to expect to See out the other end is that you share documents in the way of white papers operational guides some type of Product that you can share back with the community that was a result of the test that you did That's pretty critical to what we're we're building here. So Again, it's not an onerous process The details are at the URL. I suggested to you spend some time there, but please let's make use of this cluster It's it's it's an investment We made because we recognize that one of these didn't exist in the community And it was in many ways a stumbling block to doing the type of testing that we need to do to make Open stack of viable Alternative for cloud deployments So bring us your your requests bring us your ideas and let's test the process and let's test the the cluster out Okay, thank you David Okay So we'll we'll bring us home. So the the summary of Of all of this and you see here a screenshot from the the intake process This is you know what you will receive if you go onto the website Go to rackspace.com forward slash developer cloud Insert your name email contact information and a little bit about what you want to do why you want to do it and what you Expect to gain and what you expect the community to gain and a team from rack space and Intel will be back in touch with you to set up all appropriate access and Coordination required to get you started the first thousand node cluster is online and ready to go So we hope people will be directed to this process Starting immediately over two hundred of the five hundred and sixty bugs have already been closed and the first roadmap for the next twelve months has been defined and identified this is an actual view of the first cluster by the way the the pictures on the slides not stock photos actual views of the of the The racks and rows in the rack space data center We also have staffing continuing at a brisk space brisk pace So Intel continues to invest in this from not only the cluster standpoint But in the hiring of talent as does rack space And we've also got some very interesting partnerships with the University of Texas, San Antonio and other universities that are participating in driving internships and new job opportunities for people that are interested in becoming open-stack developers so with that I will close out and we will give you guys a preview of a video that will roll tomorrow and After the video rolls, we'll have time for questions So powerful is that we are philosophically aligned on the idea that we want Enterprises to adopt this technology faster and that we want everything that we do in this space to be fully open source And create nothing proprietary I think one of the great things about the open-stack innovation center is the commitment that Leaders in the community and two companies with a great track record of innovation and maturity are making to strengthen the community The open-stack innovation center will have the largest open-stack development team that is completely Dedicated to make open-stack, you know available for everybody easy to use easy to deploy and very easy to manage We both have domain expertise and we both have common goals And we have you know common vision and hey in a year from now How should people be able to use open-stack? How should the cloud be open for people and it's just moving the needle on what an open data center really should be in this day and age with the open-stack innovation center and two companies that are Committed to not only adding to the size of that talent pool But also committed to fully open source contributions to the most impactful projects and features It's fun to imagine how far the community is going to be able to go in the next five years All right, so with that we have just a few minutes left if anybody the room has any questions for us as a panel Yeah, please use the microphone. Absolutely Thanks a lot This is actually almost, you know during come to like a weaving waiting for someone really support this kind of Awesome infrastructure and framework. So thank you. This is really, you know glad to see all the stuff Perfect. I'm from Adobe belong to IT group and we dealing with a lot of variety of actual use cases So some division fully based on AWS and they don't even try utilize You know any type of private at all some division they're in-house and VMA and I'm part of kind of open-stack team. So open-stack as well. Okay Very good. Yeah, it was very first time to really start you are still the experiment in your own organization Yeah, okay, exactly. Yeah, I'm kind of a very unique position at Adobe right now in terms of the limit This is a special type of private cloud. Okay, good The question is decent first I have two different different complication one is about this entire picture and deal is about the Thousand nodes are clustering. Okay. The first question about the entire framework is Typically the problem way when we ran into as a IT group is that Okay, a lot of questions from usual group like okay, this is some of the services already available in the AWS side and it's been working awesome and then perfectly meet their goals and Sometimes cost to issue or whatever performance issue try to look out another alternative like let's say open-stack Then they always asking the question. Okay, this service is available in open-stack here And then can I just a seamlessly migrate all the workflow without changing anything in open-stack? Then of course it opens up a lot of big deal like okay, some cases. Yeah, we can do that some cases Well, it's not ready yet So the thing is that when I look at the scalability and manageability all those up. Yeah, definitely That's awesome thing, but one missing critical component that I can see now here like oh We don't have to really compare all the time AWS but the AWS is kind of defect to a public cloud system and you know A lot of a super user over there like you know a lot of company utilizing, you know They're you know services based on AWS and when they try to look out utilize open-stack Or age the same question comes. So I think probably I don't know you foundation yourself or this framework yourself I don't know who can I talked regarding this kind of okay? Who is really looking at this kind of you know missing part like AWS versus something or we try to you know Have a gap. That's the first question. Right Sure. So do you want to take the ownership? Yeah, so please feel free to reach out to me and We have Chris Raghuram here who's actually driving this roadmap with track space and Intel together So between Chris and I we can definitely talk to you and get things included as part of that Great, I think those are exactly the kinds of if there are Perceived gaps that you're when you're comparing it to features that you like and enjoy on AWS or VMware and you want to see you know, obviously it's a little different though with a cloud architecture, but If you if you want to see similar features if you want to see similar things on the roadmap Absolutely, we want to make sure that you you in the community have a chance to tell us. I'd like to see this on your roadmap I think this is important as a user of this technology or I think it's going to be important to Adobe Adobe will never adopt this until you have, you know, X Y or Z capability Okay, second question. So second question about the thousand nodes are clustering system So right now we have a very small size of a very first release of open-stack using I sell supervision It's been six months. It's awesomely working. We got already tons of positive feedback a lot And I'm right now actually building out under a bigger open-stack environment using kilo We using very standard way of building this open-stack, you know, Ubuntu host system and host OS with ML 2 OBS and SAF as our storage back-end system This is this is very common architecture based on 2015 subway You know, most of you know, people more than 50% using this kind of structure Then this close string system Supporting then matching architecture meaning is that the SAF when when you guys, you know, build out SAF Some of data node has very, you know, requiring very specialty like you need to have a SSD To deal with the SAF functionality or something like that, right? So these also has flexible Flexibility to provide a certain targeting infrastructure as well. Well, there's there's there's I think there's two things there one the the developer cloud the the primary purpose of the developer cloud is for access for developers that are writing and wanting to test code across scale the there's a There's a there's a certain reference architecture and a way of deploying on the the two clusters that is at least on you know The first thousand nodes May be restricted to just doing anything under the sun I don't from the Intel perspective you guys are thinking a lot more about absolutely on the next thousand how you can test all kinds of other Technology combinations so and I think you know even on the first thousand nodes if they are just notes SAF does is not safe is the software which they will put if they have access to bare metal You know, you put whatever on it whether you put SAF or you put anything else. It's going to be doable So in my answer simple answer would be yes We'll have to work through how part of it because that's part of the pilot Ideally, ideally, it's not just stuff alone, but it's stuff or whatever you're using in conjunction with OpenStack get the benefit of the Contribution back to the community. Just yeah, just remember that anything that you want to bring to the developer cloud and you have an idea for how it will impact or affect or Effectively impact the community at large. I mean, it's going to be hard for us to solve point problems for individual users of OpenStack, so just be thinking about what do you want to bring to the table that the community will be able to Benefit from you bringing in testing and deploying in that environment. Okay, sounds good Yeah, we are pretty much interesting utilizing the same infrastructure for our a lot of kind of testing, so It's going to be really useful. Very good. Well, thank you for your comments and questions Any other questions? okay Thank you guys again for being the the late in the day audience and enjoy the rest of the summit Thank you very much. Thank you
