There is a growing trend today of enterprises leveraging both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and on-premise OpenStack-based private clouds. However, the default networking option in OpenStack remains broken and the plethora of confusing plug-ins makes networking in OpenStack mysterious and difficult to manage. Enter MidoNet, the open source network virtualization solution from Midokura favored by DevOps cultures in web scale enterprises and service providers around the world. This session will present case studies from several end user deployments, showing how they use MidoNet to build, run and manage large-scale virtual networks in OpenStack clouds. The session will also discuss how transitioning from a public to private cloud enables organizations to accomplish much more with the same resources, without over-simplifying the inherent complexity of running an OpenStack cloud.

This talk was presented in the "101" track at All Things Open 2019. In this talk, we’ll explore open source projects like OpenStack and Kubernetes that form the basis for many cloud use cases today. This talk will serve as a general introduction to the new “primitives” of IT infrastructure, such as server, VM’s, containers, functions, API’s, etc. By examining the primitives that popular modern tools provide, it's substantially easier to make sense of the overall technology landscape and discern how to make the best technology choices for your use cases. We’ll also take a brief look at open source tools used to interact with open infrastructure, and examine some more concrete use cases describing how enterprise IT and mobile networks are using open source to build their next generation infrastructure.

1) 5G networks will enable much faster speeds, lower latency, and more connections compared to previous generations of wireless technology. 2) For 5G to be fully realized, network infrastructure will need to become more distributed through small cell sites and edge computing deployments. Open source software and network function virtualization will be critical to manage this complex infrastructure. 3) Initiatives like ONAP are developing open source platforms to automate the deployment and management of virtualized network functions across distributed infrastructure as defined by standards bodies like the O-RAN Alliance.

OpenStack has come a long way since 2010. What started as a collaboration on compute and storage between NASA and Rackspace has changed dramatically and grown into a large, successful open source project that meets the needs of thousands of organizations. But OpenStack hasn’t evolved in a vacuum over the past seven years: the technology landscape around it has been changing as well. Join VMware’s chief OpenStack architect and longtime community member Mark Voelker for a look at the new technology landscape around OpenStack, how we got here, and where we might go next. We’ll discuss how what started as an IaaS platform ending up being a winning platform for Network Functions Virtualization and telco applications, how OpenStack came to be selected as a common underpinning for container orchestration systems like Kubernetes, how OpenStack governance influenced other open source communities, and how OpenStack changed the way companies looked at Open Source. We’ll consider the role IaaS might play in a future that includes options like functions-as-a-service, containers, and the internet of things. We’ll consider OpenStack as a common foundation for a variety of new technologies, and discuss OpenStack’s lasting impact in the cloud ecosystem. We’ll also discuss how OpenStack is changing and adapting to shifts in the technology landscape, both as an open source community and in terms of product offerings. Learn about new interoperability programs targeted at use cases that didn’t exist seven years ago, and new initiatives from the OpenStack technical community and Foundation.

This document summarizes a presentation about interoperability between OpenStack and other open source infrastructure projects like Kubernetes. It discusses how the OpenStack Interoperability Working Group defines guidelines for compatibility between different OpenStack distributions. While no distribution will be identical, following these guidelines ensures core capabilities are supported across approved implementations. It encourages selecting technologies based on common interfaces like APIs, Terraform, or Kubernetes rather than any single vendor implementation to avoid lock-in and allow flexibility.

The document summarizes the OpenStack Interoperability Working Group's efforts to promote interoperability across OpenStack distributions and products.
