 ent to a home for discussion of all issues related to creating and consumi
 ng OpenStack APIs.\nA large part of this change will involve working with 
 maintainers of cloud SDKs to help ensure that OpenStack is smooth to consu
 me.\nIn this session we hope to have an open discussion about the state of
  OpenStack APIs\, issues with their use\, and opportunities for improvemen
 t. Topics may include\, but are not limited to: Strategies for reaching th
 e many audiences and stakeholders of APIs\nEffective use of the service ca
 talog\, service types and version discovery\nDealing with and understandin
 g microversions\nResolving inconsistencies between different APIs and diff

 purpose it seems to mostly be either unknown or just a confusing tool for 
 people. In the hopes of fixing this\, this session will be an open discuss
 ion about what people would like to ideally see out of OpenStack health an
 d what issues they currently have with it. The hope is that we'll be able 
 to make it better so it's more useful to more of the development community
 \, or anyone else interested in the state of testing.

DESCRIPTION:For the uninitiated\, OpenStack's role in cloud infrastructure
  can be a little hard to understand unless you know it's capabilities and 
 how it operates. Furthermore if someone is new to infrastructure-as-a-serv
 ice\, OpenStack looks a lot like virtualization or simply like public clou
 d offerings. In this session we will start at the very beginning and walk 
 our way through early services. These services like Nova and Swift provide
 d VMs and storage and were the building blocks for every project today. We
  will take a journey through some of the latest services that have extende
 d OpenStack into a stable and fully functional cloud operating system for 
 the enterprise. This session for the absolute beginner will help attendees
  understand other more advanced topics presented throughout the week.

UID:19414@openstacksummitboston2017
DESCRIPTION:In contrast to enterprise IT virtualization\, Telcos face a un
 ique set of challenges when entering the network virtualization space. Man
 y of these challenges come down to mapping physical network function (PNF)
  requirements into virtual network function (VNF) requirements. For instan
 ce\, the integration with legacy platforms\, the integration of existing p
 erformance and assurance tools and the skillset refresh of the existing wo
 rkforce are just a few examples of these challenges.\nIn this presentation
 \, we plan to cover:\n- two use cases in development for migrating from PN
 F to VNF\n- the key challenges Telcos face integrating the new network vir
 tualisation environments with legacy platforms (for example\, achieving 50
 ms convergence\, VRRP\, Q-in-Q and LAG)\n- burning questions for operation
 s teams to ensure they are equipped to deal with the new technology

  that will show you how conducting active bug triage can help you gain kno
 wledge. \nDuring the session\, we'll show some Nova bits\, but it doesn't 
 require knowledge of the code base. This talk is targeted to operators and
  occasional contributors as a way to gain deep knowledge on Nova and to he
 lp them integrate with the Nova developer community.\nWhile Nova bugs are 
 the focus\, the related points could be applied to any OpenStack project.

 Are you looking for a learning chance to incubate the implementation of yo
 ur best ideas? Do you want to participate in the innovation development th
 at will shape our future?\nIf the answer is YES\, then this is the talk fo
 r you!\nSoftware has been the core of game-changing technologies in the pa
 st few decades and it will continue to bring tremendous surges of innovati
 ons in the next generation of applications. In order to support the needs 
 and complexity these applications may introduce\, an ubiquitous and widely
 -proven technology is required as the mission-critical software platform. 
 OpenStack is clearly the answer for that. Not only it is the best integrat
 ion engine for containers\, virtual machines\, or bare metal servers\, it 
 also collaborates community efforts with other innovative technologies. Op
 enStack's technological flexibility offers better possibilities to applica
 tion innovations.

SUMMARY:Building a distributed benchmarking service for Openstack
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20171106T010500Z
DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20171106T011500Z
UID:19542@openstacksummitboston2017
DESCRIPTION:Openstack benchmarking tools are hard to setup and require the
  user to dig into documentation\, modify configuration files to be up and 
 running. To solve this\, we built a distributed\, scalable benchmarking sy
 stem. The service which can be used via a web-UI\, makes it extremely easy
  to attach cloud-deployments and benchmark them. It builds on Openstack Ra
 lly\, a CLI-only benchmarking tool and creates a benchmark-as-a-service (B
 aaS) system. The system can be used by multiple users in parallel to bench
 mark multiple Openstack deployments.\nOur model can be generalized to othe
 r CLI tools such as Openstack Shaker\, thereby leveraging any open-source 
 benchmarking tool out there and adding it to the system.\nIn this talk\, w
 e will describe our experiences with Openstack benchmarking. We will talk 
 about our usage of containers and microservices to achieve scalability and
  reuse. We will also share the results of building and benchmarking an Ope
 nstack deployment at scale.

DESCRIPTION:Data plane is one of the most critical elements in any NFVi pl
 atform. Yet measuring its performance is extremely challenging\, even more
  so on production platforms. Measuring performance in a production environ
 ment usually requires complex hardware and software setups that are intrus
 ive and hard to deploy. In addition it requires the right skills to operat
 e and analyze the results accurately.\n \nCisco has developed NFVbench\, 
 a compact software package that alleviates this major hurdle and enables e
 ssential data plane performance benchmarking on any environment – includ
 ing production environments – with minimal hardware requirements and a m
 inimally intrusive installation. Cisco is open sourcing this tool to help 
 accelerate NFV adoption in the industry by addressing a major pain point 
 – measuring network performance in production. The last release of OPNFV
  (Oct 2017) includes\, for the first time\, NFVbench. This first version c
 omes packed with features such as full integration with OpenStack\, fully 
 automated RFC-2544 benchmarking with built-in packet paths\, multi-chain b
 enchmarking\, and many more innovative capabilities.\n \n \nJoin us to l
 earn more about this innovative tool and see why it will become a key enab
 ler of data plane performance benchmarking for NFVi deployments.

DESCRIPTION:Organizations have limited backup and recovery options for Ope
 nStack outside of retrofitting traditional backup vendors’ products with
  scripts\, adding more storage\, and manually reconstructing environments 
 when there is a failure or an integrity issue. These approaches negatively
  impact manageability\, environmental recoverability\, and jeopardize corp
 orate SLAs. Additionally\, DevOps teams must quickly spin up point-in-time
  test clouds – similar to production environments – to test feature an
 d version releases and ensure reliable software delivery. This requires ma
 nual processes to recreate environments with copied production data\, ulti
 mately slowing release cycles. But there’s a better way: TrilioVault for
  OpenStack\, the industry’s first native backup and recovery solution sp

UID:19690@openstacksummitboston2017
DESCRIPTION:Utilization of resources in an effective manner is always the 
 priority of cloud provider. Typically\, providers keep separate compute re
 sources for hosting VMs and Containers. In reality\, if any one of their r
 esources are full\, other resources can’t be shared across platforms. Mo
 reover\, communication across platform i.e. from container to VM and vice-
 versa takes additional routing via sdn. We as a cloud service provider hav
 e built and want to demonstrate a true hybrid model where containers and V
 Ms can be hosted on same compute and at same level of virtualization. This
  help containers run on baremetal\, meeting the enterprise performance nee
 ds and facilitating communication with VMs at OVS layer. Hypervization on 
 such hybrid infrastructure offers enterprises a middle road to leverage cu
 rrent investments and virtualization’s mature ecosystem\, while opening 
 the door for containerization.

 quality of outcomes are what translators conveniently do in Zanata. Howeve
 r\, what the most powerful aspect using Zanata in I18n team is that Zanata
  enabled OpenStack I18n team to more collaborates with many OpenStack proj
 ect teams with development aspect.\nIn this talk\, we explain cool Zanata 
 features which more encourage upstream collaboration for better OpenStack 
 internationalization including Zanata REST APIs\, Zanata-cli\, OpenStackID
  integration with Zanata\,and how PO files are managed using Zanata with m
 ultiple OpenStack project teams. Also\, we would like share how open sourc

DESCRIPTION:Advent of 5G in Telco industry will change the momentum of Tel
 co industry and millions of end users. 5G brings the possibility of virtua
 lizing the Radio Access Network and running in an Edge cloud. Applications
  that will ride on 5G such as IOT\, Augmented reality (AR) and Virtual Rea
 lity (VR) will bring additional use cases to host applications at the Edge
 . \nThe Telco industry has already started adopting OpenStack for Edge dep
 loyment. It is important that OpenStack developers understand the 5G\, Rad
 io Access Network (RAN)\, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) 
 uses cases to address the Edge requirements.\nIn this presentation\, we wi

 elop OpenStack\, you might underestimate the complexity.\nThis talk will t
 ake you on a journey of an OpenStack deployment with purely non commercial
  solutions (i.e. OpenStack "Vanilla"). It will show you a few things you u
 sually don't see/know\, because vendors take care for you. You should also
  be able to plan ahead if you want to do your very "own" OpenStack deploym

 sively concurrent operations. While some applications are capable of paral

 ver. A few open source tools can move data efficiently\, but are often too
  complex for end users\, lacking even a simple GUI interface. Using a File
  Fabric to orchestrate data movement between distributed file systems and 
 object storage eliminates end user complexity. Users can quickly move data
  to be analyzed/edited between hot SSD based storage and object based cold
 /nearline tiers\, freeing up the costliest storage systems. Additionally\,
  applications can directly manipulate data on object storage tiers using n
 ative tools and legacy protocols to connect with Swift or S3 API. See how 
 easy large file access and migration can be in a live demonstration of the

DESCRIPTION:The Garvan Institute of Medical Research has one of the world
 ’s 5 biggest genome sequencing centres. Garvan’s Data Intensive Comput
 er Engineering (DICE) group was set up to to provide innovative solutions 
 for analysing genomic data to both its factory-scale genome sequencing cen
 tre\, and its 80+ data scientists or bioinformaticians. We started using O
 penstack because we saw the value of segregating hardware resources and th
 e opportunity to isolate and simplify the infrastructure configuration to 
 fit the needs of each individual project. Because of that we are now able 
 to deploy multiple environments from Hadoop/Spark clusters to projects wit
 h niche requirements without the burden of infrastructure configuration an
 d everything running on commodity hardware and managed by a small team. N
 owadays\, every organization is trying to get more out of their data and G
 enomics space is not different. We see how the amount of information gener
 ated by our instruments increases exponentially with every new release but
  also the number of tools needed to process this information. That raises 
 the following questions\; which new tools can we use in order to improve t
 he efficiency of our process? How can we define an environment for our use
 r community where they can define their own rules? How can we do this taki
 ng minimal resources while maximizing the results?\nIn order to answer the
 se questions we turned to Openstack. Projects like kolla-ansible makes thi
 s easy by deploying hyper converged environments based on docker container
 s reducing the time and the number of servers needed for computing and sto
 rage in a distributed way or separating them across your whole infrastruct
 ure depending of your needs. \nIn this presentation Manuel Sopena Ballest
 eros will focus on the deployment challenges that any data driven organiza
 tion may be facing in order to deploy environments for the data scientists
  or developers using Openstack as a PaaS\, and provide criteria for a sele
 cted uses cases for data analytics and software deployment based on user
 ’s needs rather than infrastructure availability.

 ractiveness. This can be difficult in a world of glitzy marketing from com
 merical offerings. What's the secret to getting new users and organization
 s into the OpenStack fold as cloud operators\, developers\, and partners?\
 nThe regional OpenStack user groups are on this front lines. Every day the
 y're working to showcase OpenStack and grow the user base. What are these 
 groups doing to entice individuals to join the OpenStack movement? Which o
 f their techniques can you use to ignite interest?\nWe've gathered the Aus

 ts in greater cost effectiveness by significantly reducing maintenance\, d
 edicating focus to their core business. \nCustomer demand for cloud delive
 red capabilities is driving a transition of the IBM Security division. Usi
 ng OpenStack Heat and minimal modifications to a single-tenanted security 
 inspection appliance code base\, we were able to create a scalable and fle

DESCRIPTION:One is the requirements for mission critical systems is to pro
 vide reliable volume backup without impacting running system. The recommen
 ded way of cinder backup is to unmount volume before backup to avoid crash
  consistent backup. Unmounting is intrusive in nature and may not be feasi
 ble for mission critical systems.\nThis talk will focus on strategy to ach
 ieve non-intrusive cinder backup. Our strategy is based on making guest OS
  write-through temporarily for snapshot purpose\, which is practically sam
 e as unmounted volume for snapshot purpose.\nWe will share design and proo
 f of concept (POC) of our work in this talk. POC is applicable to backup o
 nly. Backup produced in this manner is as per OpenStack standards so the b
 ackup is restored using OpenStack&rsquo\;s standard method.\nThe POC uses 
 Linux Guest OS running in Nova. POC is expected to work with most of Linux
  Guest OSes without any change. Cinder&rsquo\;s snapshot feature is used i
 nternally instead of Reinventing the wheels.

DESCRIPTION:The transition of real-time applications like Session Border C

  Openstack poses many challenges. A virtualized SBC (vSBC)\, which handles
  real-time audio\, video and collaboration services\, needs to deliver sim

 nscoding\, encryption and tunneling have different CPU\, memory and IO req
 uirements. A vSBC providing theses services demands high throughput\, low 
 latency and high availability with zero packet loss over long durations. I
 t will also need to process 1Gb (and soon 10Gb) line rate multimedia traff
 ic with packet delays no greater than a hundred milliseconds all while als
 o supporting a high rate of sessions. In this presentation Red Hat and Son
 us Networks will describe advanced performance tuning configurations in bo
 th the OpenStack host and guest VNF to isolate and dedicated physical reso

UID:19421@openstacksummitboston2017
DESCRIPTION:Composable Infrastructure is a revolutionary\, new architectur
 e that optimize various software and hardware for innovation ideas. Valenc
 e was introduced to disaggregates compute\, storage\, and network resource
 s based on Intel Rack Scale Design. Nowadays applications and other OpenSt
 ack services can take advantage of Valence to introduce the ability to mor
 e efficiently pool and utilize these resources. Valence complements OpenSt
 ack by dynamically composing workload-optimized hardware while at the same
  time allowing workloads to run on bare-metal and do it all with a single 
 management console. Valence was started one year ago and evolves rapidly. 
 It’s readier than ever to unlock the effectiveness. In this session\, we
 ’ll share:\nWhat exciting features have been added since last cycle\nInt
 el Rack Scale Design Roadmap\nNew Features\, such as Pooled NVMe resources
  management\, Multi-Podmanager\, etc.\nIntegration with other OpenStack pr
 ojects\nCommunity involvement and ecosystem\nUse case & Demo\n

 ding multiple kinds of GPUs including P100 on DGX-1 server.Besides GPU sch
 eduling ability\, multi-tenenacy is another essential point to consider wh
 en providing services. Because users usally want their containers and netw

DESCRIPTION:As of the Pike release\, though we have many tests to measure 
 the effectivity of the core OpenStack services\, we have no real way of en
 suring that verifying that a particular Software Developer kit (SDK) is ab
 le to perform certain core functionalities.\nThis session would be an oppo
 rtunity to sit down\, as a community\, and discuss the possible uses and s
 cope of an SDK test utility with the application and upstream developer co
 mmunities. With this utility\, we would gain the ability to define consist
 ent expected behaviors across SDKs\, and objectively evaluate how correct\
 , complete\, and up-to-date an SDK is.\nBasic (tenative) outline of the te
 st library\nThe basic concept for this project is to create a new service 
 with an API that allows a user to:\nConfigure credentials\,\nStart a test\
 ,\nStop a test\,\nand lastly\, to Check a test\nThe "check test" function 
 would\, in short\, check whether the operation being tested performed its 
 intended action\, based on the changes made to the cloud. The library woul
 d then reset the cloud to its pre-test state\, and prepare it for the next
  test. This would ensure that using a utility from a given toolkit would h
 ave exactly the intended effect on the cloud it is being run on\, without

DESCRIPTION:China Telecom is gradually promoting the deployment of OpenSta
 ck in cloud data centers. While network is the key link of the entire clou
 d solution\, the current use of commercial overlay sdn products has greatl
 y limited the open compatibility due to vendor lock-in. With the continuou
 s evolution of Software Defined Network (SDN)\, the enormous challenge of 
 heterogeneous mixing has been placed in front of China Telecom&rsquo\;s cl
 oud operation.\nThe SDN collaboration platform (SDN HUB) developed by Chin
 a Telecom together with 99Cloud\, Huawei\, ZTE and other companies is dedi
 cated for the above problem. It enhances OpenStack Neutron with the abilit
 y of operating multiple sdn networks in a single panel\, provides intercon
 nectivity & interoperability abilities among multiple vendor sdn solutions
 . In general\, SDN Hub is a network orchestrator for openstack & other clo
 ud service with cross-domain\, cross-vendor & cross-sdn controller ability

  clear strategy within the community for how these should all tie together
 .\nAt the Queens PTG in Denver there was a kick-off meeting for this self-
 healing initiative which was well-attended with representation from many o
 f the involved projects.\nIt was agreed that a SIG should be formed\, with
  bi-weekly IRC meetings.  One of the first deliverables planned after off
 icially forming the SIG (which has not happened yet but hopefully will soo
 n) was collecting real-world use cases for self-healing infrastructure\, a
 nd for that we need as much feedback from operators as possible.  The For

  Each comes with its own set of commands\, APIs\, and typical use cases. 
 Even more confusing\, there are different implementations of the same stor

 our storage options enabled and ready to be configured and used. Using a c
 ombination of the OpenStack Horizon GUI and CLI\, you'll be running throug

DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20171106T222500Z
UID:19371@openstacksummitboston2017
DESCRIPTION:Most enterprise email solutions make use of traditional local 
 file systems or shared file systems like NFS to store data\, indexes and c
 aches. Software-defined storage solutions such as Ceph have disrupted the 
 storage market in the last few years because they offer more options\, lik
 e object store. For emails\, object store is a logical choice as a storage
  backend. Ceph offers two object store backends: Rados Gateway (RGW) via S
 3/Swift and librados itself to store objects directly in a Ceph cluster. F
 or an email system with millions of active customers\, the Rados Gateway w
 ould very likely become a bottleneck. To achieve maximum performance using
  parallel I/O from all clients\, librados is the best option because it us
 es the native RADOS protocol and involves fewer software layers. But there
  are security issues if you use librados in an OpenStack environment.\nThi
 s talk will provide insight in what Deutsche Telekom\, together with partn
 ers\, is doing to move from NFS to Ceph-based storage for large email syst
 ems. To make use of Ceph\, we developed an open source library called libr
 mb (librados mailbox) to unify email storage via librados.\n

DESCRIPTION:Studies show that diverse teams are the most successful. It is
  the difference in background\, personality\, and perspective that contrib
 ute to the success. Attracting diverse talent requires understanding why v
 arious diversity groups don't pursue tech careers and when they do\, why t
 hey leave tech fields in greater numbers than non diverse groups.\nOften d
 iversity is thought of as a hiring issue\, but for an open source communit
 y it is important for leaders and team members to be aware of what they ca
 n do to encourage diversity and ensure a variety of voices and opinions ar
 e heard. Meritocracies have a lot of positives\, but they can also lead to
  teams where all the leaders are people with strong opinions and loud voic
 es and that can be intimidating for some personality types.\n \n

DESCRIPTION:Many companies leverage the advantages of having a private clo
 ud running on OpenStack: fewer costs\, more control\, no vendor lock-in. H
 owever\, they also need to take care of operations and maintenance. OpenSt
 ack monitoring and troubleshooting are non-trivial tasks and require time\
 , knowledge\, and experience. Hundreds of log files are written by numerou
 s services with several configuration files to countless virtual and physi
 cal machines - the possibilities for errors seem endless. Moreover\, the p
 erformance of applications running on OpenStack can be affected by other a
 pplications or even the cloud platform itself. In such heterogeneous envir
 onments\, manual root cause analysis is like looking for the needle in the
  haystack. We will demonstrate how Dynatrace automatically monitors not on
 ly the health of key OpenStack services (Neutron\, Cinder\, Keynote\, …)
  but also understands impact on application tiers. We will show how Dynatr
 ace’s AI based monitoring approach helps find and analyse root causes qu
 ickly and easily\, and how automation and integration of Dynatrace into De
 vOps platforms/toolchains assists with efficient operations.

 for the task. In this talk we’re going to give an overview of kuryr-kube

  OpenDev Session held in September\, it is time to start addressing how to
  move OpenStack out of the data center.  \nIn this session we would star
 t with a discussion of the definition of the base set of terms at the begi

 n of the validity of the use cases and what tools are needed to support th
 em. \nThe expected outcome of the session is a small set of terms as a ba
 seline and a better understanding on the use cases and needs from the diff
 erent parts of the industry to serve as a starting point for design decisi
 ons and next steps on proposed architecture and technical solutions. \n 
 \nDefinition of Edge Computing:\nThe session is intended to agree on a bas
 e set of terms that we can build on while we are moving forward in this ar
 ea.  \nWhat is included in the architecture?  \nWhat is the minimum el
 ement that is included in an Edge Computing Architecture?\nEdge use cases:
  \nMicro Edge Device (Remote Radio Head / Remote Radio Unit\, CPE / set t
 op box\, runs a single instance\, instance changes infrequently)\nSmall Ed
 ge Device (coffee shop / POS for a store / cell tower site / FTTN cab\, mu

 instances change daily)\nMedium Edge Backhaul Non-Critical Deployment (big
  box retail / cloudlet\, multiple instances\, instances change daily)\nLar
 ge Edge Deployment (region DC\, thousands of instances\, instances changin
 g constantly)\nWhat OpenStack modules are applicable when cloud is brought
  out of the data center?\nAre the Neutron/Nova modules up to supporting re
 mote instances and small/intermittent network connections?  What is missi
 ng? \nAre the tools in Open Stack today usable with modification?\nWhat t

 cating cloud resources to their services under limited resources of their 
 private cloud\, when they planned to scale their service capacity such as 
 video streaming service and voice communication service against predicted 
 congestion due to big events like concert and sport games.\nOPNFV Promise 
 project was initiated to achieve this requirement and is collaborating wit
 h Blazar project to address this issue by introducing resource reservation
  for future use. We tried to apply Blazar to our NFV platform to ensure on
 -demand service provisioning successfully.\nIn this session\, we will expl
 ain how we solve the problem facing NFV by Blazar. It includes the concret
 e problem statements we hit in our NFV as well as the solution solved by B
 lazar. We also show a demo of planed resource scaling with Blazar in situa
 tions where cloud resource is limited and the demand of service changes wi

 hat is the max memory for VMs? How many computes can we support? How many 
 subnets can be created? What is the max size of a cinder volume? How many 
 cinder volumes\, etc.?\nResource concurrency limits: Identify limits of ho
 w many concurrent operations can be handled per resource. Examples include
 : Reconfiguring a network on a large tenant of 300+ VMs – how many concu
 rrent operations can the single subnet handle?\nOperational readiness: Thi
 s has different meanings for open source Eris vs. an AT&T version. For ope
 n source Eris this will include a smoke test of a specific number of tests
  to run at the OpenStack QA gate. For AT&T it will include an expanded set
  of tests for running in production (including destructive tests).\n3. Fra
 meworks & Tools: How do we enable the test suite?\nRepeatable Experiments:
  Eris should have the capability to create repeatable experiments and reli
 ably reproduce results of non-deterministic test scenarios.\nTest creation
 : Eris should have the capability to create test cases using an open speci
 fication like YAML or JSON and encourage test case reuse.\nTest orchestrat
 ion: Eris should have the capability to orchestrate test scenarios of vari
 ous types (distributed load\, underlay faults\, etc.)\nExtensibility: The 
 framework should be extensible for various open source and proprietary too
 ls (e.g. plugin to use HP Perf. center instead of Openstack/rally for load
  injection\, plugin by Juniper for router fault injection\, cLCP support\,
  vLCP support\, etc.)\nAutomation: The entire test orchestration and valid
 ation should be automated by the orchestration mechanism (no eyeballing gr
 aphs to check for success/failure\, it should be determined by automated K
 PI/SLO comparison)\nSimulators & Emulators: Competent simulators and emula
 tors to provide scale testing (e.g. 10\,000 compute nodes\, 1 million VMs\
 , etc.).

DESCRIPTION:OpenStack is too complicated to deploy\, as it involves a gre
 at variety of components. It's even harder to deploy OpenStack in product
 ion environment successfully by manual operation\, especially when there a
 re over 100 nodes. Even more\, before the OpenStack deployment\, you need
  to do some prerequisites including os installation\, network configuratio
 n and so on.\nUnfortunately\, in a project we had to deploy OpenStack on 
 800 bare servers in the stipulated time\,that is\, 8 hours! It seems impo
 ssilbe and there were many difficuties indeed\, but we managed to complete
  the task at last.\nHow we made it happen? What problems we encountered 
 and how we resolved them?\nWe want to share the experience and best prac
 tice to you. \nThe agenda we want to show not only includes the following
  part:\n1. What conundrum you will meet in large scale openstack deploymen
 t.\n2. How to resolve concurrency issue.\n3. What's the strategy of auto-d
 eployment.\n4. What's the best practice for openstack deployment.

DESCRIPTION:Nova supports 3 types of instance metadata via config drive an

  caveats in Nova's metadata that deserve exploring: user data has size lim
 its\, and is only useful to the API caller who made the boot request\; met
 adata is modelled largely on what Amazon EC2 provided several years ago\, 
 and hasn't been updated in a while\; and\, there are a few known security 
 issues that the Operations community needs to be aware of when deploying t
 he metadata server.\nFinally\, recent releases of Nova have added support 
 for a “vendor data” service\, which allows Operators to provide inform
 ation to instances about the deployment they run in\, and inject informati
 on into an instance which might be unknowable to the user who requested th
 e instance boot via the API.\nThis talk will explore all of these aspects 
 of the Nova metadata implementation\, while providing guidelines and examp

DESCRIPTION:Kubernetes deployments running on OpenStack clusters require a
  full OpenStack: Keystone\, Nova\, and Cinder services.\nThis talk present
 s a more pervasive and simplified deployment architecture by integrating C
 ontainerized standalone Cinder services with baremetal Kubernetes. Cinder 
 services offer many storage features that are still missing in Kubernetes.
  Cinder is supported by many storage vendors\, with over 70 storage driver
 s in its repository. A Containerized standalone Cinder service makes these
  features and extensive storage products available to Kubernetes cluster.\
 nKey to this architecture is a Kubernetes volume provisioner that provisio
 ns Cinder volumes and transparently converts Cinder volumes to Kubernetes 
 supported storage types\, such as iSCSI\, Fibre Channel\, NFS\, or Ceph RB
 D.\nBased on the these technologies\, the new architecture enables enterpr
 ise customers to deploy Container services in a dedicated cluster and cons

DESCRIPTION:OpenStack and Keystone have already built-out basic support fo

 ever\, with modest additional work\, OpenStack and Keystone could support 
 general federations across multiple administrative domains.  This could i

 litate a wide variety of collaborations\, including areas as diverse as in
 ternational "big science" efforts\, international disaster response\, and 
 supply chain management\, just to name a few.\nThese types of federated cl

  Federated Cloud: \nhttp://standards.ieee.org/news/2017/intercloud_intero

 conceptual model\, map-out federation deployment models\, and identify nee
 ded areas of federation-specific standardization.  The IEEE goal is to pu
 sh these federation standards through the standardization process.\nThe su
 ccess of these efforts will depend directly on engaging with cloud builder
 s\, operators\, and stakeholders.  OpenStack and Keystone are in a unique
  position to provide technical leadership and create a new market for clou

 r performance grew in NFV\, PCI passthrough\, SR-IOV\, OVS with DPDK and V
 ector Packet Processing (VPP) were introduced to meet the demand. We cover
  each of them in this session with their use cases for NFV workloads (VNFs

DESCRIPTION:Just as OpenStack has become the de-facto choice for a virtual
 ized infrastructure manager (VIM) on early NFV deployments\, Kubernetes is
  taking that role for Container environments. Although OpenStack and Conta
 iner environments like OpenShift come with their software-based networking
  services\, they are often augmented by external SDN solutions. These SDN 
 solutions give you the agility\, flexibility\, and security for your cloud
  while running your applications at ANY scale. This session will illustrat
 e the why and how SDN integrates with OpenStack and Kubernetes-based Conta
 iner platform - how they work together and provide advanced connectivity s
 ervices such as Service Chaining\, SD-WAN\, and NaaS. Attendees will learn
 : (a) Differences between SDN and NFV in OpenStack and Kubernetes-based Co
 ntainer environment (b) How OpenStack and Kubernetes enable SDN and NFV to
  easily work together and (c) Typical Challenges encountered and best prac
 tices to overcome / mitigate.

DESCRIPTION:OpenStack currently implements encryption of Cinder volumes us
 ing Castellan-based key managers. However\, requiring a key escrow can be 
 difficult to manage and error prone\, making features like bring-your-own-
 key quite difficult. Further\, efforts to solve this problem by implementi
 ng a push model end up requiring invasive OpenStack API changes.\nA much s
 impler solution is available using Tang\, an easy and secure alternative 
 to key escrow.  A Tang server implements the McCallum-Relyea key exchange
 \, which ensures that the volume cannot be decrypted without access to th
 e Tang server. Tang provides a protocol in which the server has zero knowl
 edge of keys\, does not require SSL/TLS or authentication and is highly pe
 rformant.\nIn this talk\, we'll show how volume encryption can be implemen
 ted using Tang instead of key escrow. We'll also show how bring-your-own 
 key can be implemented by having an on-premises\, lightweight Tang server

 redentials as the input and it would in turn run their plugin tests inside
  the container and once completed it will return test reports along with l
 ogs back to the user. These reports can be used to identify any failures i
 n the tests or the added feature itself.\nThe possible use cases are:\n- E
 asier inclusion of individual component testing into the CI/CD pipeline\n-
  Testing of components can be done on demand even by non-technical resourc

 ication definition used by the Service Broker is call an Ansible Playbook 
 Bundle (APB)\, which is a lightweight definition essentially comprised of 
 a few Ansible playbooks named for each of the Open Service Broker API oper
 ations. By leveraging the power of Ansible along with this application def
 inition\, you can easily provision simple to complex applications such as 
 OpenStack within your Kubernetes cluster.

 s running NFVs need to avoid any System Management Interrupts which is can
  cost the extreme low latency applications\, so BIOS configurations are to
  be carefully crafted. Its not only the Numa alignment available in the No
 va that’s sufficient for each use case. The implementers need to underst
 and the packet processing threads inside guests and how they align to the 
 cpus being pinned. The PCI NUMA affinity had to be balanced with custom ch
 anges to nova in some cases. The implementers need to understand how the d
 irect DMA transfers to and from VM are happening bypassing hypervisor. The
  workloads use SRIOV and DPDK to configure the VFs so that the DPDK apps r
 unning inside the VM can accelerate the packet processing.

DESCRIPTION:Distributed tracing is now a must-have feature in distributed 
 system. OpenStack is not out of the loop in this wave. With traceability\,
  devs/ops can quickly find performance bottleneck and root cause of issues
  in system.\nIn OpenStack\, we have OSprofiler - a small library that act 
 like a tracing tool for many internal OpenStack services (from Nova\, Neut
 ron\, Keystone\, Glance\, Cinder\,...).\nHowever\, with the rise of CNCF O
 penTracing\, there are a lot of chances for OSprofiler to evolve to a `mor
 e` standard and great tool for us to trouble-shoot OpenStack services.\nOp
 enTracing is an open distributed tracing standard for applications. OpenTr
 acing allows developers of application code\, OSS packages\, and OSS servi
 ces to instrument their own code without binding to any particular tracing
  vendor.\nIn this talk\, we introduce how we implementing OpenTracing stan
 dard into OSprofiler and how they work flawlessly. Live demos with Uber Ja
 eger and Zipkin at the end will illustrate this work.

DESCRIPTION:This beginner session is about advanced network services in Op
 enStack\, particularly focusing on Load Balancing as a Service (LBaaS)\, a
  crucial component for making applications highly-available and secure. Lo
 ad balancers have evolved over time to do more than simple spraying of con
 nections to a set of backend servers. We will delve into some of the core 
 requirements including session persistence\, SSL termination\, and rule ba
 sed switching. We will present the evolution of OpenStack LBaaS APIs as th
 ey incorporated these requirements.\nOn the implementation side\, we compa
 re and contrast the most common architectures of LBaaS deployments: (i) pr
 ocess-based (reference architecture)\, (ii) appliance-based\, and (iii) se
 rvice-VM-based (Octavia's architecture). We will focus on service-VM archi
 tecture's elastic scalability and high availability. We will also share le
 arnings from production deployments of elastic LBaaS in large-scale privat
 e and public OpenStack clouds.

DESCRIPTION:5 years ago\, ETSI NFV started generating the industry momentu
 m around Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) in telco. To this day\, it
  remains the forum with the broadest representation of telco service provi
 ders\, vendors\, regulators and other stakeholders in that space.\nFrom an
  implementer’s perspective\, however\, the vast amount of ETSI NFV specs
  with their technology-agnostic\, formal language can be daunting. One and
  a half year ago\, a small team of valiant souls from within ETSI NFV set 
 out to decode the cloud API specs and document in how far OpenStack meets 
 user requirements expressed in those specs.\nWe had a great session in Bos
 ton and a fruitful workshop in Denver where we presented an overview of wh
 at is done in the gap analysis\, invited users/operators to provide feedba
 ck on the results\, their priorities from the list\, and what else they mi
 ght see missing. As we were able to cover only a small fractions of the ga
 ps in the first two sessions we believe there is a need to continue the di
 scussion in Sydney also.

DESCRIPTION:As a Heat service operator\, we have explored Heat for one yea
 r. During this period\, we met serveral issues and challenges. We will sha
 re them in this talk\, along with our solutions.\n\nHeat only supports nat
 ive Openstack resources such as Nova\, Cinder... That means resources not 
 supported by Heat need to be created manually. This extra step makes Heat'
 s orchestration uncompleted. Custom resources support needs to be added.\n
 Complicated resources dependency\, parameters setting and attribute output
 s all make Heat Orchestration Template (HOT) difficult to generate. Users 
 may not even be familar with YAML syntax. A good method is required to gui
 de users to write perfect HOT to maximize Heat's value.\nAlthough Heat alr
 eady has unit resource validation. Creation failed due to template error s
 till happens. We'd better solve this issue than leaving it alone. Not only
  the unit resource\, we should validate the stack from a holistic perspect
 ive to avoid inter-resource parameter setting error.\n

DESCRIPTION:We built a container native cloud\, i.e. container is the firs
 t class citizen in the cloud\, in which users create and run containers in
 stead of VMs. As a result\, users no longer have to maintain a VM pool and
  could launch their containers in 3-5 seconds\, which make it fit for case
 s need super elasticity.\nBeing a container cloud\, the good part is high 
 agility and density\, i.e. we may serve much more apps (containers) than V
 M based cloud. However\, the much faster provision/deletion and higher den
 sity are also challenge the neutron  and cinder much. In container cloud\,
  we need to prepare all resources in seconds and the app may access the ne
 twork/volume at the first second\, and it is common that there are hundred
 s of container on a same host.\nIn this talk\, we will introduce the issue
 s we met\, the lessions we learnt\, and the solution we adopted. We will a
 ddress how we analyzed and located the issues\, how we avoid the unexpecte
 d cases\, and how we solve the bugs.

SUMMARY:Making fast forward upgrade OpenStack possible with configuration

DESCRIPTION:Following to the recent surveys\, most of OpenStack users are 
 using Kilo or Liberty release and almost all of them want to jump their Op
 enStack system from Kilo release to newest and stable version without goin
 g through some releases!\nBut how can we perform this? Current blocking-po
 int is configuration management and there are no way to automatically crea
 te new compatible configuration from old release configuration.\nFor now\,
  we have oslo.config generator tool to show deprecated options in newer re
 lease but they are still lacking some mapping configurations. Moreover\, i
 t is impossible to automatically convert them when a few old options will 
 be replaced by one new option.\nThis is the reason why we have made a PoC 
 that is integrated with oslo.config to do that. Then we would like to cont
 ribute it to community. It will help users easier to make configuration ch
 anges by generating new trusty configuration for new versions from any old
  versions.\nContributors:Dai Dang VanNam Nguyen HoaiLujin Luo\n

DESCRIPTION:In most of the 5G use cases such as autonomous driving and mas

 network slicing in particular. \nIn the last OpenStack Summit 2017 Boston
 \, we SKT has announced that we released TACO (T-All Container OpenStack) 
 for our 5G Infrastructure. Also we have been developing SDN based network 
 virtualization solution (SONA) for TACO. SONA uses VxLAN to provide fully 
 independent virtual networks to 5G services and supports multiple gateways
  to provide multiple paths to gateways for its performance. Also\, SONA su
 pports containers created by either Docker Swarm or Kubernetes and allow 
 communication among containers and VMs\, by controlling their flows using
  an SDN controller. The connections among containers and VMs are essential
  to 5G infrastructure  where some of VNFs have micro-service architecture
  utilizing containers to improve its agility.

DESCRIPTION:When creating cloud object storage\, understanding the strengt
 hs and relative weaknesses of tools such as OpenStack Swift or Ceph as we
 ll as the flexibility of the underlying hardware infrastructure is key to 
 creating a high-functioning\, scalable architecture. Before you deploy clo
 ud object storage\, it’s critical to consider the interactions between s
 oftware\, servers and possibly disks. If not\, you run the real risk of h
 itting a very hard wall when you suddenly outgrow your solution and find t
 hat extending the cluster can cause more problems that it solves.\nAs to s
 oftware\, while OpenStack Swift can deliver high input/output operations 
 per second (IOPS)\, it tends to fall short of Ceph’s consistency in main
 taining data integrity\; however\, Ceph can lag behind Swift in IOPS. We
 ’ll address the software issues for different types of workloads and the
  best way to design your hardware infrastructure for future cluster exten

DESCRIPTION:Massachusetts Open Cloud offers virtual machine based IaaS ser
 vices on top of OpenStack. We recently started offering containers as a se
 rvice using OpenShift by tightly integrating it with the OpenStack service
 s. Our deployment uses Keystone to authenticate users\, Swift to host the 
 Docker registry and Cinder to automatically provision persistent volumes f
 or containers. We use the OpenShift Console to expose our OpenStack cluste
 r to container users in a generic way where they have access to compute\, 
 networking\, and storage. By coupling container and VM users we are able t
 o achieve a higher density in our cluster usage. We will present our archi
 tecture\, the challenges we faced while setting up this service (e.g. in c
 ase of failures/updates in OpenStack)\, the best practices we formed (e.g.
  network patterns we identified to work best) for offering a reliable serv
 ice\, and the experiences of the first large-scale user of our service\, a
  medical imaging service on the cloud.

UID:19545@openstacksummitboston2017
DESCRIPTION:OpenStack Manila provides secure filesystem storage over the n
 etwork. In multi-tenant environments\, it is expected that file shares
  are isolated between different tenants in the data path. Achieving st
 rong guarantees for data path isolation requires back end support\, and c
 loud administrators can configure their deployments to provide such isola
 tion. This involves understanding a not-so-simple option named "driver_ha
 ndles_share_servers" (DHSS) which defines the mode that back end drivers 
 operate with. The choice of driver mode presents a whole set of capabilit
 ies to users\, including secure data path isolation and the ability to
  interface with their own private networks and security services.\nIn th
 is presentation\, we will unravel the design and discuss reasons why admin
 istrators and users should care about DHSS.

DESCRIPTION:Hyper-convergence is affecting all tech\, including OpenStack 
 and OPNFV. On one hand\, seemingly unrelated projects need to integrate cl
 osely together. Projects must reach across varying cultures\, processes\, 
 goals and agendas. On the other hand\, the business world is demanding fea
 tures and no-lock-in. The projects' response to Business is: interop and f
 unction certification enforced through test programs. This is about how Op
 enStack Interop Work Group\, Refstack and OPNFV Dovetail intersect to prov
 ide these programs.\nRefstack is a server and client to provides submissio
 n and tracking of test results for OpenStack. OPNFV is exploring Refstack 
 for their Certification tests via the Dovetail project. OpenStack certifie
 s its APIs while OPNFV will certify its functionality through scenario tes
 ts.\nHow would this work? What does this imply for the future of Refstack?
  OpenStack Interop WG? OPNFV Dovetail? Other projects? Let's have a lively

DESCRIPTION:Have you ever use kubernetes cluster atop openstack to support

  pain points are waiting for you:\netcd cluster stability. Disk IO perform
 ance is critical to etcd availability and stability. And CPU/Memory resour
 ces preemption between etcd and Kubernetes control plane components can de
 grade cluster performance.\nEssential data persistence. All cluster data i
 ncluding Kubernetes resources\, container network configurations and monit
 or/logging data are all local to VM instance. VM destroyed\, data lost. We
  should move these critical data from VM local disk into persistent volume
 s.\nConnectivity between VMs and Pods. Use Kuryr to deliver Neutron networ
 king features for containers\, and connect them on Layer 2. \nDeployments
  with multi-replicas need NFS persistent volume. Cinder can only provide R
 eadWriteOnce persistent volume to Pods. We can use Manila to provide ReadW
 riteMany volumes for multi-replicas deployments.

DESCRIPTION:One of OpenStack's core strengths is its open review system\, 
 where anyone can assess and improve code submissions to help reduce proble
 ms before they become bugs and maintainability nightmares. This makes our 
 code stronger but it also turns code review into a game of "find something
  wrong with it"\, which can be daunting for newcomers and exhausting for r
 eviewers. New code contributors may find the delay involved and effort req
 uired to get a patch merged to be patience-testing\, but luckily there are
  steps that code contributors can take to make the process more efficient\
 , the core of which is effective communication with code reviewers. Writin
 g effective commit messages\, using tests to demonstrate the necessity of 
 a change\, and having a productive dialog in various communications channe
 ls will all help to bring everyone to the same page so that patches can mo
 ve forward. Attendees will learn how to make patches easy to review - and 
 therefore easy to merge.

DESCRIPTION:Vitrage is the official OpenStack project dedicated to root ca
 use analysis (RCA) and deduced insights into the behavior of the Cloud. Wi
 th the help of a graphical model representing the different relationships 
 between system entities\, and a friendly UI\, Vitrage perfectly organizes\
 , analyzes and visualizes a holistic view of the system.\nIn this session\
 , we will present the latest and coolest features that were developed in V
 itrage during the Pike release. We will introduce new use case\, and show 
 how they can help the cloud operator better understand and manage the faul
 ts in the cloud. We will also show how the insights of Vitrage can be used
  by external components\, such as Mistral\, to take corrective actions in 
 case of a failure.\nWe will continue by presenting the future roadmap of V
 itrage and our plans for the Queens release.
