 So We have a we've got a lot of gear over here on the demo pad you might notice and we're about to to use some more of it so next up we're going to be hearing from Direct TV and the AT&T Entertainment Group ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Amit tank and Sunil Jatwani Direct TV now on open stack. How cool is that? Good morning, and thank you for having us today Within entertainment we are seeing some interesting changes in the industry We see a the way the video is being consumed has changed dramatically in the last few years and is expected to do so going forward Additionally because AT&T offers several delivery avenues to deliver that video to our end customers with satellite mobility broadband and over the top our Goal within within AT&T is also to make sure a consistent viewing experience across all of those delivery platforms we see cloud as vital in the overall delivery on our business objectives With cloud we get the speed and agility that the cloud offers and at the same time Using some cloud native principles. We have pretty much decouple product from the underlying infrastructure And that's something that's also the focus of our STN and NFE initiatives within the company What this enables us to do is? adapt quickly and also innovate with newer and personalized services of Course we have to do all that keeping reliability and Scalability at the heart of it so that we can replicate that traditional TV experience across all devices and all delivery channels Like I mentioned AT&T today offers video services across a variety of delivery channels with satellite fixed IP Wireless and over the top the challenge that we had to face within the cloud group was to come up with a unique and common entertainment centric cloud architecture and platform that can serve the unique needs of Different consumer segments if you will across each of these delivery methods The cloud that we envision and the cloud that we have built was really built around a lot of these design principles Now in the interest of time, I'm not going to cover each one of them But let's just talk about a couple that I think are very important in this context Using cloud native and agile framework. We were able to pretty much re architect and redevelop a lot of our entertainment workload into micro services base framework that we run on containers today Because that really allows us to manage our code and as well as rollout changes faster also Something that's at the heart of this conference We use a lot of open source including open stack as a foundation for our cloud platform Now to go over specific workloads that we are running on open stack I'll like to call upon Amit to walk us through the rest of the presentation Thank you, Neil We're interesting indeed So as we go through the life cycle of the content Many unique cases we have very unique needs the content ingest ingestion becomes a very interesting challenge when you have to intake feeds for thousands of channels and a lot number of video-on-demand titles as The content moves forward We go to process it so that we can build meaningful business applications around that Now the logical block of content processing is very interesting We chose to run that on open stack for very specific reasons the encode and transcode workloads Have very high CPU requirements. They are very very CPU bound The content storage due to sheer size have that a unique needs as well The on-premise model actually becomes very appealing there the live on the ward workflow have high throughput and very very demanding latency response and finally as they get delivered at the content delivery side, they have very edge-like characteristics So this is a very high-performance solution. That's being powered by open stack and We've leveraged the core principles of domain 2.0 architecture that AT&T has championed before and we've been able to build on top of that So let's look at what are some of the characteristics of the solution We're running on Mitaka Very stable code base and this reliability was the reason that gave us confidence to actually deliver Super Bowl earlier this year on this solution Heat templates are used to Deploy live new channels and our team loves it our teams leverages CI CD to deliver workload as well as applications While taking benefit of bare metal orchestration for Ubuntu nodes Kubernetes and Docker Containers are used in production at scale to deliver our microservices so that we can keep our workload very portable Why you may ask that's because we love our hybrid cloud We see a lot of value to derive from there and open stack as a platform really shines Well, when you have to make it integrate and work with other components So this is how the picture looks today What are some of the things that we are excited about future? Well, let's take a look Containers on bare metal is something that we are very excited about Function as a service when combined with serverless computing patterns is going to become very very potent at solving ephemeral use cases ephemeral compute use cases that come and go in burst and finally we definitely see Modern more usage of Kubernetes in workload as well as infrastructure orchestration so that we can make our hybrid clouds more seamless So having covered that I think we are ready to share with you how our application looks like so let's do that I Am going to switch to the so this is a regular app that's delivered to you in form of all the entire product and We are going to switch on to a channel that is going to allow us to There you go, let's see if we can switch on to the audience network Okay, we have a show here and that's going to run in for this thing. Let's see if we can see a title here. There you go Okay So now I want the audience to take a moment to think about this The frame that you are seeing on the screen is a high definition frame and just a second ago This frame was essentially a bunch of jumbo packets that are being encoded packaged switched Inside a VM running on OpenStack and seconds later here it is Being being blind for your consumption So very very powerful indeed in conclusion on Buf of all the teams at AT&T We really want to thank all the community members and all the contributors for making OpenStack a really really compelling experience Thank you so much
