 Well, welcome everybody. Thanks for coming to this very quick presentation. It's going to take the form of some slideware and drilling down into a demonstration that if the gods are with me will go well. So I'm Simon Briggs from SUSEA, you probably tell. My French isn't tremendous, so I'm speaking English and I'm from the UK. Part of my job is to help talk to people about what we do with open source and how we make it powerful in the industry. So essentially, the premise we have is that by using open source within your, at least understanding it within your architectural decisions on your cloud builds, you will hopefully keep your mind open when you're working forward. Certainly within the open source community, we do like to work together. This is also a call out to my slide where I use a dog and a cat because apparently that will make you a nicer audience dealing with me in the future. So the obligatory nice slides come along. Now, I'm sure you guys have all got up to the neck about cloud this, cloud that. There's a reason why we do have cloud and we think the future's cloud, particularly SUSEA, is looking forward. Part of the reason is you guys are all here in Paris today, but the things that drive you to come here essentially are the power of what cloud can promise us. So cloud promises a break from the traditional. It promises a capability to stop being defined by the infrastructure that we previously had to use and try and work in a different model. All the buzzwords there, using elasticity, using multi-tenancy environments coming in on web services, et cetera, but ultimately it allows us flexibility. That flexibility, we would argue, is lost if you don't remain working within an open source organisation. So, as I said, I'm from SUSEA. SUSEA have a long and proud history working with open source as a solution and we have moved into working on the cloud in several different ways. So this is your hands up opportunity. How many people already understand what we're talking about when we say I-A-A-S? Come on guys, help me out. I don't want to have to explain all these things. Okay, so essentially that's a brief view of where we sit in certain environments on the cloud. So, we sit very much in the infrastructure as a service in this environment. So, where we go to hypervisor. We also have a definition of public and private clouds. So, makes can wave? No, you're not with me. Who knows what a public and a private cloud might be? Yay, I don't have to explain these things. So, it'll be quicker. So, on the public cloud, SUSEA do exist. We're all over the public cloud available to you and essentially we work as the OS in the platform that's being built out and delivered to you. And yeah, we're with all the big vendors, but I seem to have noticed quite a lot of square red boxes when I've been walking around here. So, I might get across that and start talking about some more interesting things to you. So, why is open source so important to organisations when they're making architectural decisions about cloud? Essentially, it's the same reasons why you might have made those decisions 10 years ago, 15 years ago, to start looking at Linux. So, the opportunities that are bound within the open source community allow a completely different price structure, cost model, they give you the flexibility to use all different standards and it really does genuinely avoid vendor lock-in. I'm here talking to you with a vendor's logo on here, but it's the power of all open source that allows organisations to make choices which can move and be dynamic over time. Probably quite important in a cloud environment. Obviously, portability, flexibility comes along and that is delivered in this particular scenario that we're talking about now is where SUSEA works strongly with the open stack community and that's why we're here today to talk to you guys. So, on the right-hand side, we've worked for years now working with the open source community to take away some of those concerns. If you were around at the time 10 years ago, people talking about using Linux in their data centres, they got a bit scared. They had to be convinced that it was enterprise-ready. We did that and we're now doing it on the open stack platform for the community. Essentially, we drive it through a product that I'm going to talk to called SUSEA Cloud. So, it's running as an infrastructure as a service platform for your architecture and I've still left this slide in here, but actually you can read the slide but the example of why we work in open stack is exactly that out there. The fact that so many people are here today in this community working hard to be able to understand the opportunities the open source, open stack capability will give them and moving forward how it can be enhanced to make even greater value for organisations. Up until now, typical use cases that have been driven by organisations have tended to err on the side of caution. So, up until now, the obvious elastic workload that everyone understands to exist is the web farm over a holiday period, a sporting event happens at a particular time, the grade final, everyone wants information about it. So, we need elastic delivery of that capability for a short period and it then shrinks back in that time. So, that's what open stack is able to deliver and then on top of it, we have the value that SUSEA and other vendors in this market that you're talking to today are able to deliver. So, SUSEA's got that track record we talked about earlier and all the independent hardware vendors, independent software vendors support that make sure that the applications that reside on that open stack cloud are fully powerful business ready. So, part of what we do is industrialise what is the open stack platform and essentially this is a picture that I've not been able to refresh because it's actually kind of gone out of print but the old spaghetti picture of what the different environments in open stack are are the complication and the thing that makes open stack quite a tricky customer to deliver to your customers yourself or in your own environments and essentially if I just walk through this picture there's many moving parts open stack's allowing you to simplify and push out solutions in an abstracted way to your customer base but actually inside with you managing it as an administrator of the cloud it is quite complicated the orange services run and they need all the elements around it. Well SUSEA has worked very hard particularly combining crowbar as a build capability to be able to take all those different parameters take the amount of components that need to be driven and we've changed what used to be something that could be done only with a lot of concentration over a lot of hours and we've reduced it right down now to deliver a fully operational enterprise ready cloud in a couple of hours. By doing that we've actually moved to use our infrastructure to be able to install on the left hand side of the screen as you will see. We've also added some other elements so recently we brought out SUSEA Cloud 4 we're trying to keep up with the open source community on this so that's based on Icehouse and we've released SEF support on the infrastructure with only 20 minutes I haven't got enough time to show you the tool and talk deeply about SEF but at least we brought it up there to tell you what it is and this slide is particularly interesting down at the bottom it's a different way of thinking about using storage within your distributed architecture that is running very interesting project and we think it's a very powerful way to go so essentially we've added the SEF parts to this story we've also worked hard around high availability who's seen this analogy before? Good guys, keep with me so we've got a concept in cloud computing that we run cattle so we run work loads that are really not that important to us we don't feel a personal sense of ownership like we would for pets your pet you stroke it you give it a name you feed it water and food and it gets taken to the vet when it's ill in the scenario we're talking about here cattle they get ill you get rid of it and you buy another cow that's how it works we actually argue that this is an old traditional way of looking at a brand new scenario infrastructure as a service we want you to move to a scenario where you want to put your pets in your cloud you want to move away from being locked in this traditional view that it's only for the very low risk environment and because of that we've put a lot of effort working with HA in the environment that we deliver today and we've been able to bring that forward by using the HA capabilities SUSE is already renowned for within its SLEZ HA modules we are a Linux leader in this space we use a lot of the open source technology and it transfers brilliantly on top of the scenarios that we're talking about here so right now we haven't quite sorry I'm just running forward very quickly here we haven't quite solved the problem of keeping highly available virtual machines in your images running but right now we're able to deliver all the good value do the build across all these services in your open stack environment and that's a demonstration I'm going to show you in a second okay so we work across the infrastructure if you know SUSE at all we're very much best to breed we don't try and sell a lock-in back to that message at the start open source it keeps you free our idea is we do what we do best and then we allow others who are best to breed to work with us so we're very strong about partnering we partner with some of the largest and some of the most specialised organisations in the industry and certainly we have partnership on our hypervisor levels so SUSE at Cloud is the only enterprise-ready open stack production that is able to deliver hypervisors not just on Zen and KVM but is able to deliver out on Hyper-V and VMware as well so that's a very strong point of our partnership and we have several other partners many of whom are going to work with us on our booth over the next few days to present to you guys the value add that they bring to our solution here's just a quick picture of some of those people always got to put logos up in a quick presentation so SUSE at Cloud 4 we're going to bring out five reasonably soon because we're trying to follow the community by two months so there's always a very strong drive to keep up and keep producing more code but right now we really have a very powerful solution and I'm going to give you a quick demonstration of the HA capability I've built on this desktop now demo time my colleague Adam if you saw him earlier actually sacrificed a chicken at this point he didn't bring in a live chicken it was paper for anyone who's concerned so let me just give you a very quick example here of an environment you can't see give me a second there we go so what you're looking at here is actually the crowbar interface to SUSE at Cloud crowbar is the build engine I was talking about earlier that we use and he's got the ability to drive out very rapidly as I discussed the services on the tool I'm not here to walk you through it in detail because I just haven't got enough time suffice to say just past four o'clock today there's a very detailed workshop on building this thing from scratch being able to deliver HA that's a 90 minute workshop if you do want to get involved in that please go to the SUSE booth there's some files to collect and some infrastructure to build on your laptop there must be at least 8 gig of RAM available so if you've got that kind of kit drive there but just to show here I'm actually logged in over here looking at the cluster of the two control nodes so as you can see there we've got the two nodes that we've got listed here in our HAWK interface to describe the cluster that I've automatically built by a plugin using the Chef capabilities if I now go across and show you there's also a HAWK interface on the second server because obviously if I kill one of my controllers and I can only see the HAWK interface on one we might be in a little bit of trouble if I pick the wrong one so I'll just start that up to be sure and just to prove so you can see in the background this is actually a presentation of what services are running on which one of my nodes so this is a controller one and it's running the open stack board there out on this website up above and just to prove it's running I'm using a virtual box hypervisor that's in that environment right now so if I go across to my environment and forget to put it on your screen which probably isn't a very good idea ok which one shall I choose it's a HA environment obviously I'm going to shoot one of them ok I know it's prettier if I kill number one so let's go with that so should we just pause or should we just completely kill it let's just kill it and see what happens now if the gods are with me as I was talking about earlier you should see some things problematic it takes a few seconds because in the background the actual clustering technology is working very hard but obviously there's a 10 second refresh rate on a website so it does demo itself very not as quickly as it possibly can in the background but you can see there it's true and killed the infrastructure and he's starting to rebuild the services across on the second node so the first node was doing the majority of the work in this cluster I killed it, killed it dead and we're in a recovery scenario here now obviously I've only got two minutes 44 left I do want to take your questions I haven't got much time to go into much more detail I will be over on the stand if you want to talk in more detail about anything we talked about here more than happy to I do advise you if you do get time go along to Adam Spires and the development team go along to their session around about 4.15 I think because they'll be able to work through this in detail with you because I'm sure this has already opened a myriad of different questions in your mind okay so that's the end of my presentation just to say in Suza's mind we're now setting up clouds that are on open stack infrastructure as a service that we believe should be enterprise ready and fully resilient for your organisation while allowing you the flexibility of the open source choices to decide how best to do things so is there any questions from the floor I've still got a minute and 41 seconds to play with okay my demo went quite well I normally have to do a little bit of fiddling somewhere so demo's always go wrong okay then guys thank you very much it's lovely to see you thanks for all your help and we're over at the booth cheers
