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.
The OpenStack Summit is a five-day conference for developers, users, and administrators of OpenStack Cloud Software. This time it takes place in Palais des congrès in Paris from November 2 to November 7. ICCLab is attending the Openstack Summit for the very first time.

There are many tools available which can be used to monitor operation of the Opentack infrastructure, but as OpenStack user you might not be interested in monitoring OpenStack itself. Your primary interest should be the operation of the VMs that are hosted on OpenStack. Nagios OpenStack Installer is a tool for exactly that purpose: it […]
In this post we take a look at Kubernetes and help you setup a Kubernetes Cluster on your existing OpenStack Cloud using its Orchestration Service Heat. This Kubernetes Cluster should only be used as a Proof of Concept. Technology involved: Kubernetes: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes CoreOS: https://coreos.com/ etcd: https://github.com/coreos/etcd fleet: https://github.com/coreos/fleet flannel: https://github.com/coreos/flannel kube-register: https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kube-register The Heat Template used in this Post is available on […]
Last week, 16 Oct 2014, great participation to OpenStack User Group – Meeting @ICCLab Winterthur. We have co-located it with docker CH meetup. Around 60 participants from both the user groups. For this event, we have organised the agenda trying to have a good mix of big players and developers presentations. Goals : Analysis […]
The icclab participated on the Nagios World Conference 2014 which took place Oct 13th-16th, 2014 in St. Paul, MN, USA. Icclab’s Cloud High Availability-initiative leader Konstantin Benz presented an approach on how to use Nagios Core to monitor utilization of OpenStack resources. The key point he mentioned was that Nagios has to be reconfigured elastically […]
In our previous work we presented the performance of live migration in Openstack Icehouse using various types of VM flavors, its memory load and also examined how it performs in network and CPU loaded environment (see our previous posts –performance of live migration, performance of block live migration, performance of both under varying cpu and […]
Previously, we analyzed the performance of virtual machine (VM) live migration in different scenarios under Openstack Icehouse. Until now, all our experiments were performed on essentially unloaded servers – clearly, this means that the results are not so widely applicable. Here, we analyze how the addition of load to the physical hosts and the network […]
We continue our recent work regarding an analysis of the performance of live migration in Openstack Icehouse. Our previous results focused on block live migration in Openstack, without shared storage configured between computing nodes. In this post we focus on the performance of live migration in the system with a shared file system configured, compare […]
In this tutorial, we will be speaking about a “Swiftbox”. This is nothing more than our terminology for an Openstack installation that only needs and uses Swift and Keystone. The use and setup of this Swiftbox will be explained in this article. The reason why someone might want a stripped-down OpenStack installation with only Swift […]
