We are a few years into this technological revolution called “Software Defined Networking”. In this session we will discuss the progress that we’ve made, as well as where today’s SDN solutions fall short. Then we’ll introduce a powerful Policy Driven approach to networking that allows for abstraction of network services into a model that is simple for DevOps and Cloud teams to consume. Finally, we will discuss industry activities that are driving towards a framework for Policy Driven Software Defined Networking, and discuss a model that CloudStack could adopt.

CloudOps presented the SSL support at the last CloudStack Collab in Denver. The team would now like to present the UI portion of this work.
The CloudOps team has been working on a new feature for CloudStack to support SSL certificates in load balancing natively from CloudStack. NetScaler is a popular load balancer in the market, offering SSL off-loading support. Although the NetScaler is supported in CloudStack, the SSL off-loading feature is not enabled and has been a widely requested feature. We will provide this functionality by leveraging the existing APIs for configuring load-balancers and adding few other new APIs for certificate management. The presentation will outline the project objectives, approach, solution overview, demo and use cases
Currently Apache CloudStack supports Autoscaling with Citrix Netscaler. Last year, in CCCEU13, Tuna had already introduced an altenative solution, which called a native solution, running only with XenServer without any hardware dependency. This hacking happened in version 4.4. In this presentation, he is giving another talk to sum up the autoscaling feature in CloudStack and giving an introduction for a new version of the native autoscaling supporting for both XenServer and KVM. This module is re-structured by spliting up Load Balancing and Monitoring services.

Cloudstack isolation using security groups is different from the Advanced zone isolated network. The firewalling functionality in case of isolated networks is done by VR. Incase of security groups packet filtering happens on the host(hypervisor). This paper explores how security groups get configured on the host when basic zone network is created. It also explores the implementation of security grouops using the linux iptables, arptables and ebtables. It also discusses:
The dynamic changes in security group rules during VM life cycle
CloudStack offers over 450 api's which can help you managing your cloud environment, and there are several tools/clients available using these api's (like CloudMonkey, Libcloud, etc.) The growing number of api's, the changes to existing api's and the 'complexity' of using them might put you of, but there is no reason for that. Using the listApis "API Discovery plugin" (available since Cloudstack V4.1.0) can reduce all of this to a minimum. This presentation will show you how to call the listApis api, the results returned, and how these results can be used to generate code for all other CloudStack api's available to you. Using Windows Powershell, you will be shown how the api is used to dynamicaly create functions of all api's you are entitled to use.

Today, the most common use of DevOps is generally to automate setup or deployments of complex systems. For example, when deploying an application to Cloudstack, automating the provisioning of resources (e.g. VMs, networks, block storage volumes), and installing the right components on top of these. Automation, however, can be leveraged for advanced orchestration and automation on many levels. Where it really becomes interesting, and where you can really take your business to the next level, is with monitoring of the entire system, and ultimately, what you do with the monitored data. This session will dive into the different types and levels of monitoring and metrics you can use when deploying your applications to Cloudstack, and how you can leverage this data to reach the ultimate goal of a self-sustaining system.
In this session Mike will discuss guaranteed storage performance on primary storage in CloudStack Environments using SolidFire. They will discuss how SolidFire's CloudStack storage plugin enables dynamic provisioning and automation to guarantee performance to hundreds or thousands of workloads and tenants. They will discuss the use of traditional storage tagging in combination with fine-grained Quality of Service (QoS) on both root and data disks.

Cloud computing is now largely recognised as a game changer in the IT space. However, the complexity and costs involved in most private cloud deployment project is overwhelming to most non IT minded SME. The same observation can be made to several larger organisations.
In this presentation, we present the NuvlaBox, a turnkey cloud appliance, able to dramatically simplify the usage of cloud. Powered by CloudStack and SlipStream, NuvlaBox delivers PaaS and IaaS capabilities, wrapped in a fan-less PC. The NuvlaBox is built out of open source software, giving great freedom to users, as well as ability to extend the solution.
In this presentation, we explore the architecture of the box’s software, as well as several use cases, from trivial VM deployments, to more advanced multi-VM application provisioning. We conclude with a live demonstration of how such an appliance can be used.

tsuru is a fully open source, component oriented, cloud based application platform. It allows developers to focus on developing, testing and deploying software in an easier way, without worrying about infrastructure, operating system, networking and any other machine setup details.
When compared to others platform as a service (PaaS) solutions, tsuru stands out for its ability to handle failures gracefully. Its stack is completely open source and it supports a great deal of extensibility, also it is integrated with some IaaS platforms (CloudStack, EC2) which allows tsuru scale and provision itself, alongside with being used in large scale production environment.
It is designed so that its components are easy to replace, most of the communication between components happens through interfaces, and replacing a component is as simple as providing an alternative implementation for the interface.
tsuru also provides an extensible service architecture, where suppliers can provide their services to application developers. This is how an application would use a MongoDB or MySQL database for example.
VPCs have a common router for several network tiers. this router performs routing obviously and can perform tasks such as firewalling and port forwarding. In general the router is vital for the operation of the networks created in the VPC. Redundancy has long been available only for regular guest networks. In this talk I will describe the implementation of RVRs for VPCs.

Currently SSVM and CPVM use realhostip.com as default domains for providing some of the functionalities such as viewing console, copy template, download template/volume etc. Since Citrix is retiring realhostip.com, this talk would help understand the procedure to understand ways of customizing your cloud with your domain. It would talk about prerequisites, procedure for customizing your cloud, implementation and troubleshooting. This talk would also give alternatives such as working without using HTTPS or having a custom root Certificate authority etc. It might also include a demo with one of the examples.

A service can be built which is a logical grouping of Virtual Machines so that one can manage them as a single entity. This service can be scaled accordingly which is backed up with a policy that is used to determine when to launch VMs or Scale up the VMs or terminate the VMs. In this presentation Hari will present various aspects of scale out and scale up using cloudstack and how dynamic scaling of VM is achieved.
Virtual Router (VR) is one of the most frequently used service provider in CloudStack. VR provides L2 connectivity, Routing and various other services such as Firewall, Load Balancing, ACL, NATing, VPN and so on. It is an often asked question as to what should be the configurations of VR to give the best performance for cloud applications. In this talk Sowmya will try to address these questions by identifying the various facets of VR performance under various load and topologies and with different kinds of applications. She'll also project the results of VR performance tests done with different Hypervisors and the baselines and comparisons across these different hypervisors.
She'll also talk about the different workloads to measure performance like Static NAT and LB/PF apart from tools that were used to simulate the workload under different topologies.
