Application-Aware Networking in OpenStack 5

6. IANOS Today: OpenStack network operates with tenant information.
Goal: Optimise OpenStack network using applications’ information in tenant.
OpenStack HEAT orchestrate Application-Aware Infrastructure. 6

7. Goals of the PG Learn about OpenStack and networking aspects
Dive into the OpenStack and networking tools, for instance, OpenDaylight (ODL)
Use and contribute to open source tools as basis for your solutions
Design and implement framework to support Application-Aware Networking in OpenStack and ODL
Integrate these tools to demonstrate sample applications
Opportunity: Contribute to open source projects
Shows some of the OpenSource projects which may be used for the testbed. But: Final choice is of curse up to the participants 7
