“Measure and benchmark reliability of your OpenStack virtual machines.” “VM Reliability Tester” is a software that tests performance and reliability of virtual machines that are hosted in an OpenStack cloud platform. It evaluates the failure rate of VMs by performing a stress test on them. VM Reliability Tester installs OpenStack virtual machines, uploads a test […]
[Note: This blog post was originally published on the XiFi blog here.] One of the main jobs performed by the Infrastructures in XiFi is to manage quotas: the resources available are not infinite and consequently resource management is necessary. In Openstack this is done through quotas. Here we discuss how we work with them in Openstack. Schlagwörter: […]
Introduction I have introduced Disaster Recovery (DR) services in the tutorial of last ICCLAB newsletter which also made an overview of possible OpenStack configurations. Several configuration options could be considered. In particular, in case of a stakeholder having both the role of Cloud provider and DR service provider, a suitable safe configuration consists in distributing […]
How reliable are your OpenStack VMs? How many outages do you expect to occur during 8 months of operation? Do your VMs crash regularily, randomly or do VM outages increase over time? These questions can only be answered if we perform a reliability analysis of the virtual machines that we manage. In this small guide […]
CERN Openstack (super) User Story CERN is looking for answers to the fundamental questions concerning creation of the Universe and true to its nature, its a a big data challenge. With the historical run of LHC in 2013, their archive now contains ~100PB (with additional 27PB/year) at ~11 000 servers with ~75000 disk drives and ~45 000 […]
Towards a Self-Driving Infrastructure With the increasing popularity of OpenStack, its imperative to have an easy process to deploy and maintain it. In this regard the researchers from Tsinghua University along with Huawei have developed a “Deployment as a Service” called Compass. The talk described a use case of deploying about 200 VMs for a […]
As part of the on-going work in MobileCloud Networking the project will demonstrate outputs of the project at this year’s Globecomm industry-track demonstrations. Globecomm is being held this year in Austin, Texas. The demonstration shows a NFV compatible architecture that leverages key technologies of OpenStack and OpenShift to deliver an end-to-end orchestrated service combining RAN, EPC, IMS and supported by monitoring and billing services.
