OpenStack Basics - An overview for the Absolute Beginner

For the uninitiated, OpenStack's role in cloud infrastructure can be a little hard to understand unless you know it's capabilities and how it operates. Furthermore if someone is new to infrastructure-as-a-service, OpenStack looks a lot like virtualization or simply like public cloud offerings. In this session we will start at the very beginning and walk our way through early services. These services like Nova and Swift provided VMs and storage and were the building blocks for every project today. www.openstack.org/community/

This is very valuable information about open stack..thanks ben for your explanation about open stack.. before ,i was very inferior about what is openstack..but now after saw this vdo, I'm pretty much acquainted ..🤘

Excellent talk. WaaS Weight Loss as a service...giggle. Did you say containers were mostly living in Sun? Or did I misunderstand?

[@bens6697]

I was making a reference to Sun's early offering of zones. Containers have been around for a long time, lots of history there. Just using one implementation as an example. Remember this was 6 years ago :)

14:40 my cup says: there is no cloud it is just someone else computer.

[@HKashaf]

I thought Google designed the modern data center, self provisioning, sdn using and I am pretty sure Amazon copied Google data center architecture

[@abhi16somu]

[@Asdayasman]

I still don't get it. Say I've got 100TiB in hard drives, 1TiB in RAM, 20 cores of CPU, etc., what do I need to do to turn them into a cloud? Do I need a computer running openstack specifically? Does the message queue need its own computer?

[@bens6697]

You need a cloud platform software, one of which is OpenStack.

What is cloud? Somebody else's problem.

[@BspVfxzVraPQ]

Please stop using codewords for your components. Don't call it nova, call it compute. Or OpenCompute if you want to link it to your project. The documentation is because of that so hard to read that I just went back to doing it manually/scripting.

[@bens6697]

I don't think they are codewords, they are simply names that the developers use to differentiate the project. Similar to why we have Twitter, Google, Facebook and not "WhatYouAreDoingin140charsOrLess", "SearchForStuff", and "HeresAPictureOfMyLunch".

[@BspVfxzVraPQ]

@@bens6697 github.com/openstack/nova Look at the branches. Look at the "I will not use a number because that dehumanizes my codebase". No, this is actually a problem. I contrast this with the smartos releases which contains an UTC timestamp. When I saw that I felt the suffering the programmer had. I too suffered the daylight saving problem.

[@bens6697]

@@BspVfxzVraPQ The branches are named for the releases. If you know the release you want to branch, I don't see the problem. Using a UTC timestamp for the branches would actually confuse matters IMHO.
