 Good afternoon, I'm very happy to be here today. I'd like to thank the foundation for this opportunity to talk about my country, Brazil. My speech is how OpenStack will score in the Brazilian Cloud. Okay, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Renato, I'm Chief Innovation Officer at DualTech, a Brazilian company based in Sao Paulo, Brazil. And today I'm responsible for OpenStack, DevOps, research and development, and new products development. Here's a brief introduction about DualTech. Has always been a pioneer, as you can see, so we are in the market since 1988. We became ISP in 1996 at the very beginning of the internet revolution in Brazil. And we became a cloud computing provider, signing our branding as DualTech Cloud Solutions since 2009. And about OpenStack, about OpenStack, we've been researching about it. And last year we started our labs and proof of concepts. And this year we are launching the first product based on OpenStack. I would tell more about it is DualStack. And about Brazil. So we are huge, almost a continent. Our economy accounts for 40% of all Latin America's economy. So almost half of the total population are considered potentials technology consumers. The forecast shows that the IT sector revenue will double in size in nine years. So as you probably know, Brazil will host the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games. So there's a lot of investments being done. And about OpenStack in Brazil, here's a brief about the community. So we have around 100 active members. It's based on the mailing list, okay? Last year we created a blog. It's Bob's to tell about our labs or proof of concepts. And now it's being reviewed with community support. We will relaunch it. And it was very cool. This year we had our first community meeting at Fisley. Fisley is one of the most important events in Latin America about free software and open source. And this year dual tech help us and organize the first OpenStack meeting was the first OpenStack event in Brazil. So we had 100 registrants. We got a lot of positive feedback on it. So some international speakers, the guys from StackOps joined this event. It was very cool. But and about the cloud computing in Brazil because we are still green. Around 90% of the Brazilian companies that are positioning themselves as cloud providers are basically offering virtualization. The guy in charge of IT inside the companies doesn't know exactly what cloud is and why they need it. And most apps in use by companies are not ready to take any advantage from the cloud. So I think now it's time to evangelize it better, promote hands-on and other ways because you need to materialize cloud in the customer's mind. They need to start seeing it in action. This is, I'd like to share some results from a survey that dual tech commission it. And as you can see here about the knowledge, we asked it for some executives from IT executives about their familiarity with the infrastructure as a service. And 30% say they'd never heard about it. And 40% say they read something about it, some articles about it, so they don't know what is it. And when we are visiting our customers, we, our clients, we identify some challenges. And all the time we see that the guy in charge have fear to lose control and power and they want to know where their servers are. The elastic billing models sometimes, the guy are afraid to exceed the budget. They have problems with the CFO. And for those who need dedicated hardware, they think the only way is building a private cloud and doing a high investments, buying storage and firewalls and suites. And it's not very clear how they, how can you can scale if you are, if you need dedicated hardware, okay? So, but we believe that open stack can beat those challenges and score in Brazil. And our bet is dual stack. We are launching it right now this month, the first open stack powered service in Brazil, okay? And what is dual stack? So dual stack use stack ops enterprise. We are the local partner from stack ops. For now, we are offering dedicated hardware, but just for the compute nodes. So the control, the controller, the glance is running over virtual machines and we are sharing with equipments like firewall suites and storage, okay? It's fixed billing. So based on how many compute nodes and how many storage capacity the customer needs in his cloud, but he can scale it, he can increase or decrease the total workload capacity. And our target is medium-sized companies. Okay, coming back to the challenges, we are overcoming it in our sales speech. When we say that, we show that with the dashboard admin credential, the guy was still in control. Customers can be taken to the data center to see their servers, okay? This is your compute nodes, your servers are here. And believe me, in Brazil, it's really, really very common. All weeks, we take some customers to see the data centers. And about the dedicated hardware, with dual stack, they can start with a small investment because as I told you, we are sharing some expensive resource and they can scale increasing and decreasing the capacity. Okay, and about the future. So what we are doing now, we are launching it right now. So we are using dual stack, of course, we are scheduling some presentation, demos, proof of concepts, webinars, and of course for sales purpose and I think it will be very good for evangelization purpose to show the cloud in action for the customers. With the community, we start to discuss about promote some regular meetups and more community meetings. And about the open stack meeting, that event that I told you, we are deciding but it will be annually or twice a year, a regular event. And we want to share our knowledge. So we start to promote trainings and workshops. And we need to still place in open stack in the local media because we really become that it will be a reference technology in cloud computing. So thank you very much. I'd like to thank again for this opportunity. If you need to contact me, be free to contact me. I will be here until the end of the conference. I'm not sure I think we don't have time for questions. We have some time for questions. I think, no, I didn't. Okay, no, no, no. Okay, sure. I'm sorry, I can't talk later. Muito obrigado. All right, thanks Retano. Hi everyone, I'm very thrilled to be here because it's my first time and it's not because I speak, but it's just because you know, this bring me back to like 10 years ago when I was a developer and participating in this kind of work. So actually I did know that I'm gonna speak like this. I just wanted to have a question and then I find the best way to have a question is maybe present the context of the questions. So the question I have is about open stack in Vietnam. What we're gonna do with open stack in Vietnam. And a little bit of intro. DTT, we are a company focusing on e-government solution. So I'm very glad that this morning Chris talked about AppCentric, you know, ecosystem and we are application company. We develop e-government solution and we develop it on open source. We working in a few things that relevant to this is we also helping people moving the application to cloud including governments and banks. We also helping with some open source initiative of the government. MIC means Ministry of Information Communication, the guys in charge of IT in Vietnam. We helping a city called Danang City, one of the major cities in Vietnam to build the e-government platform on open source. And we working in V4SIA, which is the open source association in Vietnam to build the community open source. But that's pretty new though, I mean all this. And why I'm here, I like to learn about open stack ecosystem and see for partners and community helps to help us do something because this is Vietnam, you know. We're talking about school, we're talking about healthcare, government and traffic, you look at here. We have 80 millions people, we're not that huge like Brazil but we very crowded, small country and 50% of us are very young, less than 30 years old. We are the fastest growing mobile user in the world. And with this current infrastructure, we're already looking at is school, e-health, e-government, smart city. So the question is how we're gonna handle all this, you know. And when we come to this kind of conference talking about change the world, and this is where you can change a little bit of the world, is that we actually, how we transform all this kind of infrastructure into that e-future. And where does the computing power come from? You look at, but actually the good news is the IT industry in Vietnam is growing. We have a revenue of about 15 billion a year which is about 12% of the GDP. We are ranked at our 50 most attractive country for housing, so we do know how to write some software. We have established e-government programs. At least the government pushed very hard on e-government, e-health, smart city and so on. But the bad news is everyone is doing it in the silos way, and we just don't have enough budget to put in the silos infrastructure to do all this. So that pose a big question is, and that could be something relevant to the open stack infrastructure. And a little bit of an open source in Vietnam. Basically the government very pro open source, but the community is weak, that's a problem. And the missing link is, although maybe, we just don't know how to build the community because let's say if the force get adopted better in Vietnam, how can the community benefit from that? We don't have that answer. So that's one of the question that I'm seeking for help here about cloud. Actually, surprisingly in Vietnam, we have a big jump in cloud in 2012 when governments and banks move on clouds already. But most of the time they are looking at the cloud as the infrastructure, not as a service, that kind of thing yet. All the last vendors are pushing for cloud in Vietnam. We are offering the strategic consulting, we do enterprise architecture, IT master planning, and we also help them with the open source technology for the solution. And that is why we're thinking about getting the strategic alliance here to do open stack in Vietnam, to say this of GDT. So, I'll give you a case study. We developed the first multi-tenant centralize province or government platform for Vietnam, deployed in Danang City for 97 agents. That's the effort to centralize all this silos application. And we offering 12 applications to start with, but there will be 100 of them. So, we got this project together with the HANDAI IT from Korea for about five millions. We deliver the whole thing on Java-based open source system, you can see all the names here. So, we have about 100 people. So, the team working on this project is 20 plus people. And because we familiar with open source system for a while, so we were able to release the first application very quickly, only two months after development. And the problem, the good problem is now after we do this, many of the leading government agencies and city access to look at infrastructure using open source technology. And open stack is a natural choice. So, as a prime contractor, we are asked to go to evaluate and pilot the open stack deployment in some of the cities. All right, so that's why I'm here. And the next step is just to represent on behalf of the Vietnamese Association of Open Source and a project that the government and MIC wanted to promote open source as well as the city who wanna put this open stack together. I'm here to ask for help. Any partner, any vendors, any community that can help us deliver the successful case for Vietnam and help us to build the community in Vietnam. We have nothing in open stack community yet. But after this, I'm here for two days and I think we will straightaway do the first thing that we can do, translating the documentation to Vietnamese and we will look at select how we're gonna participate in some of the development because we do have a lot of development resources. And if you do this with us and it's successful in Vietnam, the good thing is, I think you can use that model for Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia and so on. So that's it, please drop me a line and probably you can come and we have a beer when we have this in Vietnam. Thank you, any questions? Namaste, I'll have to say in Tamil my language wanna come and I can spend my entire 10 minutes saying hi in all the languages we speak in India. But let's get started. So I'm Sriram Subramanian. You can reach me at Sriram at SriramHere.com. I'm an individual cloud specialist. I also contribute as a technical editor to cloudstory.in. Cloudstory.in is a popular online media based off in India focusing primarily on cloud and I primarily cover open stack related developments and in-depth technical discussions at cloudstory. So I wanna give you an overview of what do we do? What is the status of open stack project community in India? And starting from that, what are the opportunities that open stack provides to Indian economy and some of the challenges that we might face, we will face. So as of now, I think since Essex, the community has been very active in India. We have the meetup groups, Facebook groups. We have the last count of meetup is about 325 in stackers. In stacker is the term that the Indian community has defined, open stack user in India. And thanks to Tristan and Aptirah support, the meetup has been meeting very regularly, very actively and there has been a lot of demos, introductory talks and in-depth technical discussions and a lot of active users and enthusiastic users. In fact, in today's keynote, Atul got mentioned and as an active contributor and since Essex, we have also had code contributions either from CSS or from persistent or as part of outsourcing. Like we have been having code contributions from India. So that's great. And we also have an official Twitter handle open stack India thanks to the foundation. That's the official Twitter handle. If you want to participate, engage, discuss or give feedback to open stack users in India, please follow and engage with open stack India. Again, thanks to Tristan. So this is all good. And what is more interesting is as part of this talk, I also sent out an informal user statistics. Of course, this is just a survey monkey thing. This is nowhere, will represent the entire user statistics, but something that came out is, we see a lot of deployments on Essex and Folsom. As you can see, like people are experimenting with Folsom right away, instead of older releases. That's good. And it also kind of tells me, most of them are still an experimentation phase. Like we haven't gone to a real production system. As you can see the next type, out of the survey participants, most of them still experiment. They want to explore what open stack is and get acquainted with it, play with it, stuff like that. And probably 20% are using production. I'm not, I don't have the details about who exactly that 20% is, but I have some data about like, we have real data centers using open stack and offering services production based on open stack. We will see that later. Enterprise, it's encouraging. And what is more encouraging is like, we have at least like 7% of user size more than 10 nodes. That's a size number of nodes. That's one of the, how big is a deployment question there? So that's good. But please take it with a pinch of salt. It's a very informal statistics. We don't have the entire usage scenario captured here, but this is fairly a representative of what my take is and my understanding is. The user community in India is still an experimentation phase. There have been a lot of activity here. They've been playing with it, actively getting developed and participating in code, but in terms to, when it translates to business, I'm not seeing, or I haven't seen like a lot of real life cases yet, but we are getting there. And I apologize if I missed something. If you know of any deployments, please let me know. I'll be happy to correct. Great, thank you. The opportunities that I see are primarily for faces, for categories, data centers, obviously. We have Netmagic offering SimplyDrive already, based off on Swift, and I should probably update with Aptura Services too. And then the other opportunity OpenStack provides is like, it can enable a lot of system integrators and value bars, like cloud enablers are persistent, who are strong in OpenStack expertise and who can provide those services. Everybody likes to talk about Gartner. How would you take that one? One of the Gartner reports says like, it's about two billion IT infrastructure revenue that Indian IT infrastructure market will hit by 2012, and that opens up a huge space for data centers in India, tier two, tier three data centers. I'm not sure like how many are getting onboarded, but I'm pretty sure that they are eyeing at OpenStack and experimenting with their deployments. So I expect to have a lot more happening in that space. And I think it's our own ecosystem. If you look at the Linux evolution in India, it got the open source community in India pretty excited and it was very active. And I see the same thing happening around OpenStack, like we could add a lot more value. We could, I could see a lot of startups or ideas getting converted into startups, offering value added products on top of OpenStack. We have Cilometer here, for instance, like that could be a product by itself, right? So there's a lot of opportunities there. And the other thing that I'm seeing is the service providers, like the big players like Infosys or Vipro, I get an informal feedback that they're also experimenting OpenStack, but I see them getting into the space, providing OpenStack-based consultancy, for instance, or even some kind of private cloud solution on top of OpenStack, but it hasn't been there yet. I'm anticipating some developments are there. And of course, academia is always interested in picking up open source. Per my research, I haven't seen a lot of cloud-related OpenStack-specific projects or thesis is being submitted, but it will be like picked up pretty soon. And the other thing that I see happening is like Indian government is pushing, is opened up or having a major push towards cloud computing. What it would translate that into will be like, there's a lot of players getting in there and they're going to be taking up the opportunity, get participate in that one, but since the big players are already either Microsoft customers or Amazon customers, they may or may not recommend OpenStack-based products or solutions, but I'm seeing that it's a bigger pie. So eventually there'll be a slice for OpenStack and it also opens up like opportunity for someone who can propose on basis of OpenStack and it could be like a competitive pricing against the big players. So I talked about four possible opportunities there, but we also see like challenges. Of course, this mindset is not just common to India, like it's pretty prevalent. India is no different. But what is more worrying, not really worrying thing, but the big players traditionally have been like service minded. So they have been seeing a lot of money coming on consultancy or on outsourcing and those kind of business models, but I would love to see more of innovation around OpenStack or on top of OpenStack and taking it forward. I haven't seen indications from the bigger players towards that, but if you are already aware of that, please help me correct my take on that. And the other concern is, so when the government opens up big projects like this, for instance, the chairman of one of the bigger service providers is going to set the cloud computing policy of India. So to begin with, whatever might be easier is already known or proven route like Amazon or Microsoft that might be helpful for their existing business, but it will be difficult for them to take the new route of OpenStack-based solutions. So that's one mindset, a difficult route to take, but it is not impossible. So as a community, if we give right messaging, that could probably help. And the fourth point is about from my informal usage I had, what is preventing you from getting started on OpenStack? So some of the respondents said I'm not clear on ROI and more than that, some of them responded, I don't know where to start. So both of them can be corrected pretty easily by having a right documentation, a right messaging around OpenStack. So this is something that I see as challenges for OpenStack or OpenStack adoption in India. So again, OpenStack India is very active and if you wanna engage or if you wanna follow, if you wanna give feedback, please feel free to engage with the Twitter handle and if you wanna participate, please join the meetup group or Facebook group and give your feedback. That's it, thank you. To talk about the topic about OpenStack within China, but I didn't get the answer, that's why I'm here. So I will to discuss with you all about these questions. Now, this slide is prepared for community members from China OpenStack Eurogroup. So I'm just standing over there. So this agenda, I will talk about who am I and the OpenStack in China and why try to do the same. That's our project, just like OpenStack in China and our plan and the roadmap. So who am I, I'm not a technology expert, I'm just a community manager and for now I'm working for the Nandan Cloud and also the foundation for member, individual member and co-founder and the leader of China OpenStack Eurogroup. That's my Twitter account, so you can contact me if you're interested in Chinese marketing. OpenStack in China, last year, we have organized an event that named the Shanghai OpenStack Summit. There is about 400 members, but this year, it's August, there is 2,000 attendants in our APAC conference, both Beijing and Shanghai. So there's a lot of members in China. And last year, Jim Curry and Chris, they have come to Shanghai to share some opinions about the OpenStack. So this year, Kuo and some others joined, they have come to Shanghai and some guys from Asian communities have come to Beijing. And this afternoon we have a meeting to talk about the next time APAC conference maybe there will be once a year and hosted by other cities. For now, there are a lot of companies in China have joined in the community. We can see them in the website. And there's a big players that's seen them, they have been the top 20 contributors to the community. And for me, I'm Nandan Cloud, I'm just a staff of companies that open source technology support and solutions. And we can see more in Kosa, there's a lot of companies that are in China, not Huawei, IBM, and something else, VMware, SQL, and Intel. So that means in China, there's a lot of members that interestingly in the OpenStack, they try to use it or want to make products. But there is some problem that we have met in the APAC conference that because the conference is different from the summit, the summit is for the developers. And the APAC conference is used for the users. We want to use OpenStack, try OpenStack, but they are not familiar with OpenStack just like developers. I have met some gaming companies, they want to use OpenStack for their gaming, but it's difficult to deploy it. And so we want to do something like OpenStack, tryStack.org, and this is a good project that is used for the users to try OpenStack. But we have seen that in the latest mail list, last month, there are some information that, if for now, it was hosted by the foundation, but they needed more help. And what we want to do, maybe something more, you know, tryStack.org for the users, they can just to start a virtual machine for 24 hours. But for the companies, maybe they want to try for their business. So here we got to tryStack.org. We can see that it was built by the stackers and for the stackers. And it was a non-profit project. And it was a project with full features. We have deployed the app with Quorum and OpenSource switch, but also there is no SRA. Yeah. And you can see that we can have some showcase and a blog that was documented in Chinese and Wikis. Now we will document our community in Wikis and we also have a mail list that you can take this website. There are more information. And for now, that's our reference. This is sponsored by Nanan Cloud and the Internet. And there is more sponsors, just like IBM, they have sponsored for about 100 servers, physical servers. So we have several data centers in China. We can give this results for the China's members and maybe for the broad. And for now, we just are here. We just set up the tryStack.org. See you in five and we will release our website. After this summit, yeah. And then next, maybe we will do some financial new testing. You know, I just released a few months ago. And next, we will release text form, maybe reference culture, because we have some hardware sponsor, just like local hardware, Su Guang, Lin Xiang, and Huawei and SQ, and something else. Now, that's just what we have talking about in the community. We will give some ideas, just like to build demo last for SMB, last for India. They have said that SMB is, Overstack is good for SMB. And also, there's some universities, they want to use Overstack for their training for something else, and also gaming hosting. So that's our plan as a roadmap. We'll just be here. So I have come to here to commit with the communities to see some help, yeah. Just like marketing results and hardware technology support, maybe proposal, and I have, yeah, this project, we think if you have proposal, that's the testing or something else, I can give you the results, yeah, not just to start a virtual machine, yeah. And the last, many thanks to Mark Collier, Jim Carrier, and stuff, and then something else from our foundation and community. So I want the users come to try, try, try for the OpenStack, okay. That's my, I have take some t-shirt in the Asian Conference, therefore, and I will try the t-shirt, yeah. So if you have some good suggestions, I will give you the t-shirt, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's on now. And I have contributed to, and yesterday, we will merge the two project into one project. We will have the same login. Jeffrey, because you know I'm a community manager, so I have a community, just like this guy's from different companies, yeah. I just work for a community manager, yeah. You know, this guy's from Intel, and this guy's from another startup company, and this guy's from Barrabat, yeah. So we have a lot of company to sponsor us, but we want the most sponsor, yeah. Maybe I'll answer from the Vietnamese perspective, right? In Vietnam, the governments will be the first user, but you know, it's a very master government-centric country, so a lot of the state-owned enterprises are there. So what we think is after the government got the try-out, successfully, there's a few enterprises that are government-related, probably we'll try it. So that's the issue. I think it's similar in Brazil. The first was the government, but the government is not improved, makes some proof of concept, some documentations, and now I know that there are some guys from global that it's a huge media company. The guys are here, they are trying OpenStack, they are evaluating it, but running production, I don't know about any enterprise that are doing it. I think now we are launching it, but we have two customers, two medium-sized customers in proof of concept, no one in production. I don't have a direct answer, probably like, do you know, after the India, no, the enterprise? So I think the question was about interest from the enterprise customers, what kind of interest level are we looking at? So that's our answer question. The Sinlang, they run a public pass, SAE, just like the GAE, they run it on the OpenStack. So this Sinlang guys. Question about enterprise is not like very different. Analysts could answer something, they can question, but as he has said, there's been definitely interest and the enterprise-y service companies, I know that they have their own OpenStack team, they may not have announced the products yet, but it's kind of in a me too thing. Nobody wants to get missed out, everybody knows that OpenStack is gonna be the in-thing soon, so they're all getting ready. So some of them have missed out, for instance, Tata Instacompute went on CloudStack and stuff, OpenStack, they had their own reason to go there, but it's there, it's out there and it'll come out soon in a big time. For us, it's simple, we didn't have anything. I showed the challenges, I think. We don't have specific problems of localization, language, nothing about it, but the guy in charge of IT inside the companies needs to know what is cloud computing, what is OpenStack. So I think it's more evangelization, challenger, than something that we need to build specific for the country. Oh yes, talking about the community in support, yes, we need to develop it. Brazil, we need to produce more documentation in Portuguese for sure. Sorry, that actually brings an interesting point. As I said, we speak so many languages in India, pretty much every state has got its own language, so it might get into a state where the government might enforce different language specifications, but if you take the analogy of Linux, there has been a lot of localization efforts around Linux, and even the big time players followed that, but in effect, it all points down to how IT savvy, how English savvy the IT crowd is, and that hasn't been a blocker for adoption primarily in India, and I don't see that being a blocker in India for OpenStack, but some enthusiasts might come up and get translated, so that's always there. So probably like, okay, I think, maybe. Okay, sure. Sorry, I'm from South Africa, so I should probably be talking to you guys as well, but we've actually got very similar problems, and I think, well, I've always said for the last, well, we actually built a KVM-based solution three years ago as well, and it was completely sort of separate before this, and our experience has been that we've actually got a, it's not really the technology that's a problem anymore, it's more of a problem around, like my sort of thing has been all our IT managers and people making decisions are about sort of three years behind the US or the UK, and our biggest problem is actually been trying to educate people and show people how to actually take something like OpenStack with APIs and actually deploy it, and they just really struggle to get it, and I think that's actually the biggest challenge that we face more than any of the other ones. The technology is like, it's there, you can deploy things, so my biggest question is like, really, how are you seeing other people using something like Amazon Web Services or Rackspace Cloud or one of the other providers, because that's kind of an indicator to see what the appetite is in the country, but I don't really answer it, it's more of a problem.
