 Okay. Hello everyone, I'm Raj. I'm excited to be here to talk about HP Helion OpenStack. We are going to do a couple of demos here. So I'll lead the product management efforts for HP Helion OpenStack Community Edition that was just announced last week. And I have Chris here. Chris, do you want to introduce yourself? Yeah, hello. My name is Chris Frank. I'm from our European operations of HP Cloud and I work in free sales. Thanks, Chris, for joining me today. And Chris is going to help me with the demo of both Community Edition and also he's going to walk through the public cloud capabilities. So we'll cover both of that. And hopefully we can get all of this done in the 30 minutes or so. Then the remaining 15 minutes, we can open it up for questions. We have a couple of folks, SMEs from the products that you're doing, worked on, will join us towards the end so you can hear from them directly. So that's a plan. Okay, can I get started? So again, I want to hopefully you guys got this book by Lisa who's still, I think, signing these books in the back. And my favorite graphic, I want to show you the favorite graphic. This is the three caged clouds on top of Seattle Space Neal. He can figure out which are those clouds. We definitely want HP Cloud to be one of them for sure. There are three major, Seattle is becoming a big cloud center and you've probably seen the news that HP is hiring a lot in Seattle. So this is my favorite graphic. Okay, so we'll get started. So you would have heard us telling this message again and again. And I want to remind everyone that HP is really betting big on the future of cloud. We think it's really hybrid. It's hybrid cloud. The new enterprise IT mandate is really, it's going to be hybrid. It's not just going to be private or it's not just going to be public. I know public cloud has a lot of mind share today, but based on what we're seeing and what we're hearing from customers and all the data, the hybrid cloud is really going to be the future. You're going to see more and more hybrid cloud deployments. So I want to tell a little bit of, you know, we'll cover all aspects of this cloud spectrum here. You already know that we have a, HP is already a leader in private cloud, in forest or magic quadrant. You would have seen that. We are number one in terms of private cloud solution and products. So we have something called cloud system that's really doing very well in the market. So that's fantastic. But here, we are not going to talk about that. I'm here to talk about an open stack based distribution that is, that we call it as community edition that allows anyone to actually experience open stack, consume it in a very easy way and deploy a small scale private cloud. So we, we think we have a really good private cloud solution that will push this even further in terms of leadership. And of course, the public cloud side, we, you know, HP runs one of the largest open stack based public cloud. You know, we are really happy that we have that because a lot of the experience and expertise that we have in running that high scale cloud is really helping us in building products like community edition. So with this, we think we have some of the products out there like CSA that really allows you to kind of stitch together private and public cloud and kind of have a single view of, you know, the whole thing. And you kind of see all of that as one resource pool. The IT administrators and your enterprise can get a good view of where all your deployments are. And so we have a lot of products that's kind of stitching together. So hybrid ID, IT is, you know, hybrid cloud is going to be the feature and we are here really to be a leader in that space. Okay. So how many of you heard about our announcement on HP Helion OpenStack Community preview last week? Very good. How many of you have downloaded it and tried out? It's pretty good. Peter, I see Peter raising his hands. Okay. So if you have not, I mean, it's really, you should jump on it right now. We, today morning, there was an announcement about OpenStack Foundation's marketplace. If you go to openstack.org slash marketplace, HP Helion, and the distros tab, HP Helion Community Edition is kind of featured prominently. So you cannot really miss it. You should go, you know, just download it today and give it a try. So I had a somewhat slide that I created for download URL and stuff, but it's all of it is live in OpenStack.org now. So what is OpenStack Community, HP Helion OpenStack Community Edition, right? It is a free to license and download OpenStack distribution from HP. This is our, you know, you know that Monty talked about all the great stuff that we do in OpenStack. HP has been a significant player in OpenStack. You guys know that in terms of, you know, lines of code contribution, we are like number two all time, more than one million lines of code. We have four PTLs handling critical projects in OpenStack. We have, we're number two in terms of reviewers, I believe, like we are in number two, number three, number one in some case. So we are doing a lot of that in the community, but we really, we want to be able, we're not going to stop there. We want to come to you in the future and really talk about in the future summits about number of OpenStack deployments out there that's HP has helped, right? Number of servers that have, you know, OpenStack enabled, things like that. So we really have big plans in terms of taking this great technology and productizing it and taking it to solving real customer problems out there. So that's really our goal. To that end, you know, we are basically showing our commitment by introducing our first OpenStack distribution. This is the first time we are actually releasing a distribution. And I'm very excited to say that it's based on Icehouse Release, which, you know, when we released this last week, it was just barely three weeks after the Icehouse release. So that's how fast we are pushing our teams to move and get these products out. So really curious to the team, you know, we worked really hard to get this out and we are super encouraged by the response that we are seeing because this is the first distribution based on Icehouse. And it's based on triple low for deployment. For those of you are new triple low is OpenStack on OpenStack. It's basically using OpenStack to deploy OpenStack. So you kind of get a taste of that here today, but it's based on triple low. So that's that's another fantastic thing. What that means is we are not really some of like some of our competitors distributions. We are not investing in our own proprietary deployment technology. We're not we're not going to add a lot of HP code here. I mean, our goal is to really give you a pure OpenStack and where it's needed, we might add some code to make it easy, make your life easy. But we are committed to making all of that open source. So for the full release, you'll notice that in addition to the download, you will also be able to actually download the entire source code of whatever packages that you know, that is part of this distribution, including HP's hardened Linux. We basically have our own hardened Linux host operating system for this distribution, which again shows our commitment that we really want to own this full stack into N and we are not, you know, we're going to take dependency on third parties for managing the quality or our agility in terms of how fast we want to ship this product. So that's a pretty big deal actually. So that's what we should do with this preview. And finally, you know, not a lot of distributions out there are offering this kind of support. We'll talk more about it later. But it's really, you can get support from HP. You can purchase support per node per year. You'll hear more details of it as we, you know, as we release a full product. But that's that's going to give you, you know, access to HP's OpenStack technical experts, which is a great thing. But in addition to that, we also announced it's going to basically go to in call for you for indemnification, which is, which is a big deal. It's really, we're making a big differentiation there in terms of having HP support for legal issues that that you may or may not. I mean, it's just, you will feel a lot, a lot more safer with this kind of support and, you know, from HP. So, so we are really excited about that. Again, it's, we announced last May 7th, we announced the preview version. It's available to download for the last five days. So if you have not done it, please, please go and download it today. I don't know how it's going to do in via wireless network here. But when you get a chance, try and it's a pretty big package. So it's going to take a while. So I would probably recommend downloading a wired network. Okay. And as you said, we are committed to shipping every six weeks. So the next release in June, six weeks, will basically be the feature complete in terms of, we'll talk more about it again in the next couple slides. We'll tell you exactly what are the new features that you can expect, expect in that release. Okay. So for now, we want to talk about what we have today and the community preview. This is how basically the deployment steps look like. It's really, really simple. You know, we could walk through actually the commands, but we made it so simple that it's not a lot of fun to show what commands it is to deploy it. So I actually posted a video, a YouTube video of the full deployment of walkthrough, which takes, you know, roughly 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your capacity of your laptop or server. I posted that video in Twitter. I think it got retweeted by HP Helion Cloud. You should go take a look that gives you the full step by step walkthrough, right? It's literally three steps. Step number one, once you kind of get the tar ball file and zip it. Step number one, you start the seed VM, right? That takes really, it's really fast. Then you deploy under cloud, deploy over cloud. Literally those are the steps. You have a, you know, simple private cloud, cloud in a box up and running. So it's fantastic, right? That's how simple it is. We looked at some of our computer distros. I think we kind of beat everyone in terms of number of steps to deploy this. So it's really easy to go get it, give it a try. And then this also ships with a guest VM that you can try out. It's based on Debian. So that's how it looks like. You know, instead of actually walking through the full deployment and making all seed and watch the monitor for like 15, 20 minutes, we have a deployed version up and running and the Chris is going to now show you that actually, how that looks like and kind of walk through. Okay, go ahead. Should we switch? Well, we can just exit out. Thanks, Chris. My pleasure. Let me first walk you through a couple of the, of the steps. Come on. What I want to, coming back to what you were saying, we have two machines that we run. We run first, we run the under cloud that gives us the environment to deploy the clouds from. And then from that, we actually deploy the active cloud. If we look on the, on our under cloud, which is the best way to show is actually using the terminal, we have a, from the information, we have a complete stack. And then right here, right here, you have the two over cloud controllers. So if we look at our under cloud, it shows us a complete heated stack implementation and it gives us a Nova compute and the cloud controller, which has all the rest within switch. And look on our over cloud using the same commands looking over list. You can see we have our demo machines. So that's how this whole triple all deployment stacks up. We have a seed where we start implementing the, the kind of laying the foundation for the, for the under cloud. We then start off an under cloud from which we deploy all the necessary components for the over cloud, Nova, Cinder, Neutron, whatever you want in the initial version that you can currently download. It's, it's two controllers. It's one main controller having Cinder, Neutron, and the others and one Nova controller. As we move on, as this evolves, we'll continue to, to do that. Why do we do that? Just imagine you have like your over cloud has a couple of Neutron controllers, a couple of Nova controllers, and you need more, but you want to add Nova, Nova computes. So you go to your under cloud and deploy them. And that is how you can scale the cloud. So that's the beauty of OpenStack on OpenStack. So using OpenStack to actually scale out or scale down, but you never want to do that. Scale out OpenStack. In addition to this, on the demo, you have the menu. There it is. You have the Horizon interface. Horizon, you probably looks very familiar to you. It's branded. So it's the Helion Community Edition Horizon interface. It allows you to create your projects, to have instances, volumes, network storage, whatever you want. And you're probably very familiar with the Isos version of Horizon. The key thing is you have the list of instances. We have two on here. One per default and one for a look out. We have Cinder volumes that we can create. Cinder volumes we then can attach to volumes to existing commute instances. But that's not novel. We have all seen this before. If you've worked with Horizon, the last thing I wanted to show you is the very standard network topology information of the demos that we created. If you go back to your compute projects, I'm not going through a launch instance, but again, that's the standard. You have this, I've pointed it out, it takes probably less than an hour to set this up in the current demo version. Start the seed, create the undercloud, create your overcloud and you're ready to deploy. Let me give you... Thanks, Chris. So we have a HP booth downstairs with this deployment. So if you have access to go play around with this. So please do that when you get a chance. So what's coming for the final release, not final release. Remember, there is no final release here. We're going to keep shipping every six weeks. So the next release is going to have support for bare metal deployment, obviously for undercloud and overcloud nodes. You will be able to deploy a private cloud with up to 30 compute nodes. That's pretty good size private cloud. I mean, you can get it going. If you can't get a rack of servers, we have a product actually for you to go try in a few weeks. We will ship representative architecture and hardware support matrix as we get started. You can expect us just the way we will trade on the product. We will keep on adding more hardware support as well as we go along. Again, remember, this is not going to be just tied to the HP hardware. It's going to be hardware agnostic. So you can expect us to have third body hardware is also supported for this distribution. We're going to have overcloud HA for sure. After trying this out, some folks are giving us feedback on, hey, are you doing this? Are you doing that? So there's a lot of interest in differently in HA. We're going to have basic logging and monitoring. Remember, the goal is to really have you have running it in small scale private cloud protection. So you've got to have logging and monitoring to be able to do that. Then finally, the foundation care support I talked about, that's going to come in the future release as well. So what does this mean? Support for HP, Helian OpenStack Community Edition. What does foundation care mean? It's really, it's going to give you a direct access to interact with experts in HP's global center of expertise. It's going to have software support. It's going to help you with any installation issues or if your environment is different, it's, you know, it's, we will help you with the installation and help with the software features. You don't understand how this works and any operation support, all of that stuff will be taken care of for this. Again, like I said, it's going to be per server per year. We are not announcing any pricing today, but you know, you can expect us to come talk more about it in future events. So yeah, I had the slide, but it's really this, you don't have to remember that any of this long or short URL, just go to OpenStack Marketplace and you can download from there. I do want to mention about the OpenStack Community Forum. It's hosted in ASTOR, OpenStack or ARG. It's not hosted in any HP site. Again, we wanted to really stay true to what this edition is. This is Community Edition. We wanted to be, you know, a lot of the discussion to happen in the community. So please do participate over there if you get to download and try this out. So again, we are, so that's our Private Cloud and Community Edition specific. Now we're going to switch to talk about HP Healy on Public Cloud and Chris is again going to take over from here and run through the rest of the presentation. Thanks. Thank you. Before I go into the slides, I just thought maybe I should show you something. So overcloud is where the actual, the workloads are running, right? Undercloud is supporting the overcloud. The seed cloud is what it is. I mean, it's basically, it's a seed of bringing up the whole cloud. So once cloud is deployed, seed cloud doesn't matter anymore, but undercloud and overcloud is where you actually, your developers are going to interact, you know, all the horizon, all the things that you saw there is all on overcloud. So again, we have, it's all open stack, yeah. This triple low, this all is very specific to triple low. If you go to triple low, I encourage you to go to open stack triple low and take a look at some of these terms. But again, we're going to have some Q&A with experts. Actually, you can go deep in some of these questions, okay? Once we finish through this public cloud demo. Thanks. We'll never do live demos. I stick to the slides. Okay, that's fine. No, it's, we have internet access. We have internet access? I have the page, but it does not. Let me do this. Good. Let me try later. What I wanted to show you, actually, was the interface of the public cloud, which looks exactly, exactly like the private cloud, which makes the best case for hybrid. Because the interface of the helium open stack, the horizon, from the very menu down to the API, and the interface of our public cloud, they're absolutely identical. So there's seamless move of workloads between the two clouds. And not only between the two, in addition to private clouds, we can also do managed and virtual private clouds. Talking about our public cloud, the helium public cloud has been around since Diablo. It's one of the biggest open stack-based commercial clouds. It's enterprise-grade. So we have monitoring. We run it 24 by 7. We have probably the most stringent SLAs in the industry. And it's one of the components of the full helium cloud portfolio. We used to call it the convert cloud, starting with from traditional IT, private clouds, managed clouds, virtual public clouds, public clouds. All of this and the public's implementation of it is the cloud that we currently run here. What do we offer? In the public cloud, I mean we offer, of course, compute. That would be the basic open stack offering. We have cloud object storage where you can buy Swift services from us in the cloud. We have a content delivery network where we work together with Akamai. We have cloud block storage, which is fairly new, so you can buy Cinder services from us. You can buy networking from us. And we have DNS as a service in the cloud. They can use to deliver DNS to your own enterprise. In beta currently we have cloud monitoring and we have database as a service. These are currently in beta. We have a load balancer in beta that's part of the cloud. And then we're starting on application platforms to put there into service. But the key is the cloud compute that we offer on the public cloud. That's the same compute that you get from any open stack installation. And you can have API access. So it is entirely possible to do a complete hybrid setup from a single point of view, either from our own cloud service automation or any other portal, deploy workloads on a local cloud, a cloud that runs in the HP data centers just for you, or on our public cloud. It's all the same. It's one platform, one technology. That's one missing. Let me try that one thing again. But hbcloud.com Yes! So I really go with it. Yeah, you've probably seen that before many times. The horizon interface on the public cloud. Absolutely identical. Same command lines Nova create. Same way of attaching volumes of femoral disks or not persistent is exactly the same, right? This one actually is my kid's Minecraft server that they run on in play. So it works. It works well across the world. So we access it from Germany. I just want to make sure to show this that was, like I said, never do live demos. It was supposed to be before the slide, but yeah, it's absolutely identical in terms of horizon. There is a slide. The final slide is about the fact that we are hiring a lot. You have seen the announcement that we, I think we said one billion dollars over the next couple of years. So that means a lot of hiring. So if you're excited about what we're showing here and want to be part of this, please make sure you come and visit us in the booth. I think we have a recruiter on site. So we can take care of this. That's the final slide. And I think we have a few more minutes. How many? How much time? 10, okay, about 10 minutes. And we have experts here from, you know, Phil, do you want to join us for Q&A? Phil and Anu from Public Cloud. Phil is the chief architect from Community Edition. So if you have any questions, we can get it answered directly from the folks who are actually developing this product. Questions? Okay, anybody just want to scratch their head? So let me take a stab at that under cloud over cloud because I saw, that looked like that was quite a set of confusions. So this is a a triple O concept, right? Everything we're doing here is mapped to pure things that you'll hear about in the various other sessions that you're around today. The under cloud in this context is a complete open stack installation. Luck you'd be used to if you've been deploying this. The difference to think about there is that particular, the under cloud is using a Nova bare metal driver or Ironic which is gradually replacing the other bare metal as we get that deprecated. So its job is it runs Nova services but its job is to stand up bare metal machines that are running an image and they're getting those images from glance in just the same way that open stack would everywhere else. So that's the deployment mechanism for getting your rack of servers to run a particular stack of software and the images we're deploying are images that have the rest of the open stack components in it. So the under cloud uses the bare metal drivers to build this thing we call the over cloud and then the over cloud is again is a complete open stack system that's the one that's running ordinary hypervisor drivers behind Nova compute. So they're kind of two different layers they're two separate open stack systems and that's where this whole open stack on open stack comes from. Sure okay so yeah sure the question was we've said that the the under cloud is hardware agnostic and the question was how do you get that hardware agnostic layer and again this this kind of comes really from the tenants of the stuff that's built into triple O and ironic and those bare metal drivers they have a very simple set of requirements for being able to drive a host which is basically they need some kind of IPMI interface to it to be able to power cycle them. The machine's power cycle the way ironic gets software on there is through a traditional pixie boot type sequence that brings up the system makes its disks available and image then gets loaded onto them. So the you know the the technology that's used to actually do the deployment is is agnostic in that sense the only thing it really needs to be able to do is to power cycle a machine and the machine to be capable of pixie booting. In terms of how do you get then support for the whole range of hardware that's out there that really comes down to what you build into the into the drivers as we said we've got our own hardened open stack distribution which is a Debian distribution and obviously you know we've got to support the drivers that we needed to qualify a set of hardware that can be run on there so probably you could find some hardware that won't have driver support in there but as long as it's a reasonably recent set of hardware we'd expect to have all the driver support we need. Yeah well then within reason I did because the undercloud is using effectively nova to do a deployment the thing that's defining how you set up those machines are the flavors that you have defined in the undercloud right so you know the the thing that's kind of elegant about this the reason that triple O came to existence is when you look at what you need to do to deploy a hardware system it turns out you have most of those capabilities already built into open stack to be able to create and deploy VMs. The only thing that's different is you don't really create the bare metal machines you import them into the system because they obviously already exist but most of the other paradigms that you're used to using to build VMs apply to the undercloud and the nice thing then is all of the management tooling and all of the knowledge you've built up in already running open stack clouds applies to the same set of tooling that you're using to deploy the thing with. It's not like you have to learn a whole new set of apis and a whole new set of tooling to work in the undercloud from the overcloud. The question here is for the public cloud are you using any other HP enterprise management systems in addition to the open stack release for example I saw the portal which had pricing plans and so on and besides that what else can you share and what else are you using? That's a very good question thank you. I think every service provider would come up with their own service architecture which when you deploy open stack in production you still need your service architecture in terms of what do I use about and beyond what open stack provides for monitoring and HP's got a whole suit of monitoring products software HP software produces a whole bunch of monitoring products which and we use them for point purposes we have our own service oriented monitoring which is which uses vertical technology from HP so when we run the public cloud just as any other service provider that would do an implementation of open stack will do to manage it and to run it we use we use HP technologies and other technologies yes. Helion today what was cloud OS? So I want to clarify HP got it so HP Helion is our uber brand name for all you know it's a portfolio of products right it's not just HP Helion is not replacing any one single product it's just a brand for referring all cloud products from HP that the HP cloud OS that you're referring to yes that's specifically the sandbox is deprecated our community edition is moving forward is basically our full distribution so we did not see any need for continuing to allow downloads of cloud OS sandbox we have cloud OS for moonshot that you know that is still the product that will that will continue on at some point we'll we'll rename it but basically we are moving away from the notion of cloud OS it's HP Helion open stack is what it is cloud metrics still there I mean I don't think we have went and renamed all the products but that is yeah so as a recollect in cloud OS you guys used to have this proprietary value add modules around Eden and E to provide things like Tosca models and additional capabilities what happened to that so that's a great question so today what I did not talk about today is our full portfolio of products and roadmap I just specifically talked about community edition which is what we shipped last week but you will we did announce last week that it's be open Helion open stack is a commercial line of open stack products so we do expect enhanced versions of these products I mean more different versions of products built on top of HP Helion open stack community that will have these value added services that enterprises need for for example bigger scale more than 30 nodes right so all of that stuff will still there will come in and in future products so yeah sure so we're looking at how do we take this technology that as Raj said works for 30 nodes and how do we roll that to the public cloud which is approximately 10,000 nodes and as part of that journey we are going to contribute upstream the best practices around how do we get this technology to mature and as part of running the public cloud just as the question was asked we have lots of experience in operational tooling in things like how do we do firmware upgrades how do we do quick updates when there is when there's a security patch that needs to be rolled out how do we do updates without bringing down the instance and and we're going to take our best practices and contribute them upstream and hopefully drive some incubation projects around some of the operational tooling that needs to come into OpenStack including perhaps a CMDB at some point so if people are interested in talking to more about this on on getting these best practices rolled upstream do contact me I think we have five minutes maybe we can take a couple of more questions so just a real quick question what are the minimum requirements to run the community addition so for preview that that was launched last week I think I had it in the slide itself it runs on Ubuntu 13 or 14 you need I think at least 16 GB to be able to deploy a five node cloud in a box more the better but I would start with at least 16 GB for experiencing this and for the full release we will come out with detailed documentation on the hardware requirements for different nodes and you know you should stay tuned for that okay thanks great question difference between DevStack and community addition so so the community addition that was launched as a preview it's really it's just like DevStack I mean you can deploy it get it going quickly experience all of that in a box we don't support for example deploying on a virtual machine today you need a physical machine but based on you know the interest that we are seeing in terms of folks wanting to try out and we might actually you know we might at some point consider see how we can make it easy for people to try it out just like DevStack or there's some like Tristack and things like that but as the future releases come in I think we'll continue to evolve what we released as a preview the cloud in a box along with our full bare metal support so thanks for the question three minutes okay three minutes who's asking the last question all right are your slides available anywhere I'm not sure about if you're uploading these slides as soon as I get the slides I'll throw them up okay my share it doesn't matter if there is enough interest in slides yes we'll make it available thanks I think we are for time okay okay thank you so much for all your interest and attention and write out
