2022-01-11 - Anuket: RA-1 (OpenStack based) What's next?

Topic Overview

60 minutes

The intent is to solicit inputs for RA-1 in order to adjust the content of Moselle release.

Topics of interest: what else, acceleration, Telco edge cloud, multi-cloud/hybrid cloud, storage, and automation

YouTube

Live Interactive Session

Recording:

Status of Lakelse release and scope of what is covered
Brainstorm on what needs to be included/modified in RA-1
Acceleration: feedbacks required on the use of Cyborg and on the support of accelerators like FPGA, smartNIC or GPU
Telco edge cloud
Multi-cloud/hybrid cloud
Storage: solutions beyond CEPH
Automation: Cloud provisioning, LCM

Acceleration

Walter KozlowskiAdd Cyborg to RI and RC?
Beth CohenHW Acceleration in private cloud. What are we doing, for example, for crypto?
John HartleyHW Acceleration at Edge s absolutely necessary
- pls see Edge below
Riccardo Gasparetto Stori RA2 has some reqts on HW acceleration
Riccardo Gasparetto Storiuse k8s for scheduling of resource requests, consumption and management incl scaling
Karine Sevilla we need use cases to justify further work on HW ACceleration in RA1

Edge

Is OpenStack relevant for the Edge?
Ildiko VancsaWhat constitutes Edge?
Beth CohenVZN has several products at the Edge incl. OpenStack at the Edge. Minimal OSTK on 1 or 2 cores.
- Another product, K8s on OpenStack allowing customers to run their workloads.
  - Retail, manufacturing, small office environments
Gaps: Tools for deployment, config, updates, ...
- HW disaggregation is still hard
- Testing and verification support for HW and service chains

Hybrid and multi-cloud

Pankaj Goyal should RA1 deal with hybrid/multi-cloud
- or just keep to private/on-prem specs
John HartleyAnuket to orchestrate hybrid multi-cloud

Storage

Cedric Ollivier:
- From an API point of view, we don't deal with CEPH but storage features exposed by the API
- CNTT RC1 was also verified vs the default backend used in OpenStack gates

Automation
