Cloud 1.0
Key Cloud Infrastructure Innovations • Availability • Performance • Quality-of-Service • Scalability • Automation
What does this have to do with Cinder?
• Storage is a major pain-point in most early-cloud deployments
• Unpredictable Performance • Not designed for Multi-tenancy • Management = Complex + Inefficient + Costly
• Storage a key underpinning to successful application deployments
• Cloud 1.0 = Backup/Archive, Test/Dev. • Cloud 2.0 = Mission & Business Critical
Applications
Cinder Update 6 Months Later
Little over halfway by the numbers 37 blueprints/new features (and counting) 43 bug fixes (and counting) 300+ commits into GitHub (during Grizzly time-frame, and counting)
Highlights Boot From Volume Copy image -> Volume -> Image Clone volumes LVM-Thin and LVM-Mirrors Types/Extra-Specs Filter Scheduler API-V2 Multiple-Backend support LIO (iSCSI target option)
Almost there Fibre Channel Drivers.... Honorable mentions (still hoping to get these, but likely H1) Aggregates* Glance plugins*
Let's demo some new features on a SolidFire Cluster
Simple config: Create some volume-types that can translate to QoS Create a volume that can be attached Create a bootable volume Let's make another using the clone features
