 Hi, I'm Leon I'm from Intel a senior software cloud architect. Hi, I'm Shamal Tahir I'm a director of product management at Athena Health I'm glad today that we are very happy because I'm we actually celebrating a three years anniversary for the enterprise working group Yeah, so we're going to talk about what this working group is about and how I mean how we evolve from three years ago And until what today what kind of workload that we have developed. Yeah, yeah so three years ago at the Atlanta summit it became apparent that there is a need for large enterprise customers and companies that are adopting OpenStack To you know kind of share some of their common needs and necessities and quite frankly barriers to adoption that they're facing and so in that context we formed a group to kind of Expose some of the barriers to adoption as well as build plans on how we can share them more broadly with the upstream community and Build actionable plans towards getting some of those mitigated in the future Yeah, so some of the things that we work on before is like lowering upgrades What is the pain point of doing upgrades operating in OpenStack and moving on we have a lot of different company joining the work group And we try to identify what are the existing gaps and barriers for adopting OpenStack And one of the things that we found is many enterprise customers is find difficult to know what is open stack and how to operate OpenStack in their environment. So we came up with this idea of Developing new ebook content to help people to understand what is OpenStack and How to implement OpenStack in their environment and then how to migrate as thing applications on the OpenStack environment Yeah, so moving on and we also have a lot of things working on today such as a workload reference architectures So we want to talk about some of the workload that we are doing today Yeah, definitely and before I get into that I think it's important to highlight also the user composition of the working group Yeah, so this working group actually is a good healthy mix of OpenStack users as well as upstream contributing companies like Intel and others so What we're coming up with is not just you know us thinking something as an issue and raising it We're actually very responsive to user survey We're very responsive with the companies that are participating like Walmart for example and hearing their needs and you know again I think it's important to note that the group is a really healthy mix of both contributors as well as users and That makes the content that much more powerful, honestly, I think so coming back to workload architectures Which is another great collaboration point since we have users participate in the work group We looked at what are some common adoption patterns around OpenStack And what we heard is that people are using OpenStack for three tier web application type workloads They're using it for e-commerce workloads as well as big data. Yeah, and so we published three workload reference architectures so far and these workload architectures focus on these three key areas and We're actually looking in the future to go towards, you know building more reference architectures for other market needs such as NFV or even cloud native containerized workloads Do you want to talk a little bit more about what's actually in the workload reference architecture? So inside a workload reference architecture We actually try to help user to understand if let's say you want to deploy a big data or even Communities on on OpenStack cloud what kind of component that you need from the OpenStack Layer perspective and it helped you to build out that that recipe in the reference architecture We also provide some recipe to help user to understand you can quickly bootstrap the environment to have a very good feel on Okay, how if I want to run big data, how is it going to look side in the OpenStack? So those kind of things will be included in the workload reference architecture and moving forward We're hoping to have more collaboration with other work group as well such as a scientific work group So how to define or create a new reference architecture on running HPC workload on OpenStack as well So yeah, so I think we are very excited and we can work on more things Yeah, absolutely And as you can see where we started with the origin story of the working group three years ago It was really feature and pain point driven and what we've come to realize is that Education and knowledge is was an existing gap as well So it wasn't just the technology that people were saying oh, I would like it to do this better or this works for me Let's let's do more of this type of stuff it was also about how do I talk to my team internally and Let them know why OpenStack is important to our future and why are we consuming it? Why should we consume it and to that end the enterprise work group has actually shifted a lot of our work Into more Educational type output such as a workload reference architectures But also as important are the e-booklets that the work group has been publishing Do you want to cover a little bit of the journey of what the topics are for the books for the e-book? So the first able that we produce actually more talking about what is OpenStack helping people that you organization to understand as what exactly OpenStack is and then the second able is after you understand What is OpenStack right? How are you going to deploy or operate OpenStack in your environment? How how are you going to introduce OpenStack in your environment? So we talked about some of the technology choices as well as organizational cultural changes and in a third able we're moving towards educating people on how to Migrate and move as I think applications into OpenStack is more talk about migration strategies So moving forward they hope we can produce more contents as very useful for the for the enterprise users exactly So to summarize the first three years have been fantastic for the working group enjoy all the people that I work with personally in that team and You know as we said we're moving more towards Education and constant creation and so we look forward to delivering more workload reference architectures More booklets in the future as well as collaborating with other working groups to find out what other needs Beyond the enterprise sector if you will can we help with yeah from the contents I feel very exciting. I hope more people can join us if you are interested do join us for the work group
