3. Market Trends

4. Market Trends
Multi-cloud, especially the resurgence of the private cloud market
Public cloud market evolution
Private cloud-as-a-service (easier to consume)
Edge computing
Cross-community collaboration

5. OpenStack Differentiators
Flexibility & choice
Guard against vendor lock-in, which a growing concern for enterprises going to cloud
Modular framework with support for the most backend technologies
Open source APIs
Broad ecosystem for supply chain leverage
No licensing requirements or fees
True cloud experience; continuous innovation
Cost effective approach

6. Public Cloud Momentum
There are more than 25 OpenStack public cloud providers around the world with 60 data centers across US, Asia, Europe, South America and Australia
Primary business drivers for OpenStack public cloud providers are data sovereignty, vertical industry requirements and hybrid solutions
OVH is only the latest player to expand its OpenStack public cloud footprint. Recently, Swedish provider City Network added a region in Dubai, Telefonica added regions in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Peru and Fujitsu announced it has 16 OpenStack public cloud availability zones around the world
Boston Summit Interop Challenge: Open Telekom Cloud and Vexxhost did the challenge directly on in-production public clouds

7. Private Cloud-as-a-Service
OpenStack private clouds are easier to consume than ever
Delivers public cloud experience behind the firewall; on premises or in service provider datacenter
Operations, upgrades, etc. managed by the service provider; requires smaller teams and fewer infrastructure experts on staff
New “remotely managed” private cloud marketplace launched at the Boston Summit with GE Healthcare as featured user of Rackspace Private Cloud

8. Edge Computing & IoT
Many telco, retail and manufacturing are pushing OpenStack to run at the network edge
OpenStack’s modular nature means you can select and run minimal services
New landing page: openstack.org/edge-computing
Verizon case study
Summit session videos
OpenDev, September 7-8, San Francisco
collaborative, working event to advance open edge computing
Opportunities to collaborate across open source communities

9. Cross-community collaboration
OpenStack’s work with other open source communities continues to grow

10. New featured users!

11. Pike Release
The 16th release of OpenStack

12. OpenStack Pike - Key Takeaways
User Experience & Manageability
Lots of activity around lifecycle management, especially leveraging Kubernetes
Python 3.5 support across OpenStack projects for better performance & consistency
Flexibility & Scale
Advancements for Cells architecture used at service-provider scale
Adoption of etcd
Composability & Modularity
Lots of activity around Ironic and Cinder to support container-only environments
Standalone Cinder service can be used for environments with no VMs
Ironic support for rolling upgrades and greater Neutron integration

13. OpenStack Pike Major Themes User Experience & Manageability
Python 3.5 Support
Python 2.7 scheduled for EOL in 2020
OpenStack community taking care of the user by staying ahead of changes; minimizing technical debt
Python 3 performance improvements and features

14. OpenStack Pike Major Themes User Experience & Manageability
Cinder: Revert to snapshot
Users can revert a volume back to the most recent snapshot
Enables users to recover from things like data corruption or reset after running tests
(Expect to see more drivers supported by this feature in Queens!)

15. OpenStack Pike Major Themes User Experience & Manageability
Cinder: Extend volumes while attached
Long-time user request that took a lot of cross-project coordination
Have a long running job, need more capacity without shutting down the virtual machine
Now you can!

16. OpenStack Pike Major Themes User Experience & Manageability
Ironic: Rolling upgrade support
Joins Cinder, Neutron, Nova and Swift
Operators can roll out new code to Ironic services without having to restart
Minimal downtime

17. OpenStack Pike Major Themes User Experience & Manageability
Swift: Support for globally-distributed erasure codes
Even if cross-region network is down, individual regions can still function
Failures in one region can use the remote region to recover
Can recover from failed hardware quicker
Multiple concurrent processes per server, performance improvement

18. OpenStack Pike Major Themes Flexibility & Scale
Cells v2: Supporting all users to scale
Cells v1 was experimental but successful! Used by users like CERN, NeCTAR, eBay, PayPal, Rackspace.
Cells: Solves scheduling issues encountered at scale by letting you group servers
Cells v2: Gives access to all Nova functionalities across the entire set of cells. Easier to deploy; simpler to understand

19. OpenStack Pike Major Themes Flexibility & Scale
etcd: Helping users solve consensus problems when using OpenStack
Technical Committee decided at the Boston Summit (May 2017) that any component can have a direct or indirect dependency on on etcd.

20. OpenStack Pike Major Themes Composability & Modularity
Standalone Cinder
Can now use Cinder as a standalone storage service for vms, bare metal (via Ironic cross-project work), or containers using Docker or Kubernetes

21. OpenStack Pike Major Themes Composability & Modularity
Enhanced Ironic and Neutron integration
Bare metal server can plug into existing Neutron framework for a consistent networking approach
True multi-tenant capabilities
