This way

the Telco WG can identify gaps and file a proper spec into each of the
OpenStack projects.
Indeed, what we're trying to do is help the non-developer members of 
the group articulate their use cases and tease them out to a level 
that is meaningful to someone who is not immersed in 
telecommunications themselves. In this way we hope to in turn be 
able to create meaningful specifications for the actual OpenStack 
projects impacted.


It's possible that some of these will be truly cross-project and 
therefore head to openstack-specs but initial indications seem to be 
that most will either be specific to a project, or cross only a 
couple of projects (e.g. nova and neutron) - I am sure someone will 
come up with some more exceptions to this statement to prove me 
wrong :).



Ok, I definitively out of telco business, and I indeed openstack 
operator. My first question: what you want to do, what problems you 
want to solve?


IMO most of the Telco's are asking Openstack developers to work in the 
following big areas (the first 3 are basically Carrier Grade):
- Performance on the virtualization layer (NUMA, etc) - get 
baremetal-like performance in big VM's
- QoS and capacity management - to get deterministic behavior, always 
the same regardless of the load
- Reliability (via HA, duplicate systems, live-migration, etc) - 
achieve 99'999% uptime,
- Management interfaces (OAM), compatible with their current OSS/BSS 
systems (i.e. SNMP traps, usage metering for billing)  - to don't 
reinvent the wheel, they have other things to manage too (i.e. legacy)


Most of this sounds really interesting for any operators. May be except 
of NUMA. Buy why telco want more performance? Few percent of loss for 
manageability - most companies accept this.


HA is achievable, QoS may be, duplication is ok. But of deterministic 
live migrations... Why telco want it? If system have own way to 
rebalance load, there is a more simple way: to terminate one instance 
and to buid new. Btw I really want to see deterministic way to fight 
with 'No valid hosts found'.


I was on one 'NVF' session in Paris, and I've expected it to be about 
SR-IOV and using VF (virtual functions) of network cards for guest 
acceleration. But instead it was something I just didn't got at all 
(sorry, Ericsson). So, what are you want to do? Not in terms of 
'business solution', but on very low level. Run some specific 
appliance? Add VoIP support to Neutron? Make something differ?


It's all about SLA's stablished by telco's customers: government, 
military and healthcare systems. SLA's are crazy there. And as an IT 
operators, you'll all understand those requirements, so it's really 
not that different compared to Telco operators.


Just remember that ETSI NFV is more than all that: you probably saw 
Ericsson speaking about high-level telco functions: MANO, VIM, EMS and 
VNFs, etc... that's beyond the scope of you guys, and probably outside 
the scope of all of the Openstack world.. that's why OPNFV exists.
I will be a bit skeptic. It will not work with current quality of the 
development process ('devstack syndrome').  I just done digging in yet 
another funny nova 'half-bug' around migration and what I see in the 
code is... to agile for high SLA systems. May be they (telcos) can 
really change this, and I really hope, but up to now... Thousands of 
loosly coupled systems with own bugs and world vision. Just today I 
found 'hanged' network interface (any operation with netsocket goes to 
'D' and can not be terminated) due ixgbe/netconsole bug. 99.99% in those 
conditions? I just do not believe.

About Ericcson's presentation - yes, I was inspired by details of

[Openstack-operators] demo environment ( embedded device openstack ) ?

2015-02-06 Thread matt
I am setting up a demo openstack environment to integrate with a switch
stack for our organization.

I was just curious if anyone had any preferences on low power / low cost
small form factor embedded devices for running openstack compute nodes on?

I was tempted to just use some beagle bones or something but the ram
limitations do suck there.

Was curious if anyone had any preferences on this front.

[Openstack-operators] [Telco][NFV][infra] Review process of TelcoWG use cases

2015-02-06 Thread Marc Koderer
Hello everyone,

we are currently facing the issue that we don’t know how to proceed with
our telco WG use cases. There are many of them already defined but the
reviews via Etherpad doesn’t seem to work.

I suggest to do a review on them with the usual OpenStack tooling.
Therefore I uploaded one of them (Session Border Controller) to the
Gerrit system into the sandbox repo:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/152940/1

I would really like to see how many review we can get on it.
If this works out my idea is the following:

 - we create a project under Stackforge called telcowg-usecases
 - we link blueprint related to this use case
 - we build a core team and approve/prioritize them

Regards
Marc

 Sorry guys. I think most of the ops here have no idea what you talking
 about. Telcos is telcos, ops is ops. Different worlds, different
 problems, different terminology.

Hi George,

The telco working group is intended to bridge the gap between telcommunications 
operators and the openstack community, something we've been working on in some 
form since Atlanta. Once you boil away the TLAs many of their core requirements 
are not significantly different for what you might consider normal operators, 
or at least operators in other verticals like high performance computing.

We primarily communicated on the -dev list prior to Paris but the feedback we 
got in the session there (on the operators track no less!) was that most people 
involved were more comfortable communicating in the context of the operators 
M/L than mixed in with the development traffic. If certain types of operators 
are not welcome in the openstack operators community then I think that would be 
a shame.

Thanks,

Steve

 I think it not really possible. If you talking about 'openstack' as
 'Openstack developers', may be. But for operators all telco stuff is just
 completely foreign. I do not understand what they doing and I don't need
 them for my job. Sorry.

Interesting, I was actually talking for some friends about the
business of 'telco' and OpenStack recently.  Like some operators have
indicated, the world of 'telco' is foreign to them but since my
background come from the VoIP / telco environment I can see where you
are coming from.

I'm going to look at your proposal, and see if I can make some
comments.  But, I am personally interested in this topic, more as a
FYI.

I find a risk in splitting our community into too many pieces. The High
Performance needs are different from the Telcos from the Finance sector
but I think we can learn hugely from others. The work that Telcos do for
SR-IOV and low latency is a major benefit for the HPC Infiniband use
cases. Best of all is if we can make our requirements sufficiently
generic to cover multiple user communities.

So, Let's tag the subject lines with [telco] so people can skip if they
wish but I think we have lots in common to run production clouds even if
the final businesses are different.

Tim

I would agree.  We are doing the same thing with the Large Deployments
Team - keeping a group of folks focused on issues, wants, needs of large
OpenStack deployments, but doing it as much as possible within the larger
Ops community with some of the same tactics as mentioned above.

Thanks!
VW

  been working on in some form since Atlanta. Once you boil away the TLAs
  many
  of their core requirements are not significantly different for what you
  might consider normal operators, or at least operators in other
  verticals
  like high performance computing.
 
  We primarily communicated on the -dev list prior to Paris but the feedback
  we got in the session there (on the operators track no less!) was that
  most
  people involved were more comfortable communicating in the context of the
  operators M/L than mixed in with the development traffic. If certain types
  of operators are not welcome in the openstack operators community then I
  think that would be a shame.
 
 
  I think it not really possible. If you talking about 'openstack' as
  'Openstack developers', may be. But for operators all telco stuff is just
  completely foreign. I do not understand what they doing and I don't need
  them for my job. Sorry.
 
 Interesting, I was actually talking for some friends about the
 business of 'telco' and OpenStack recently.  Like some operators have
 indicated, the world of 'telco' is foreign to them but since my
 background come from the VoIP / telco environment I can see where you
 are coming from.
 
 I'm going to look at your proposal, and see if I can make some
 comments.  But, I am personally interested in this topic, more as a
 FYI.

Right, and on face value many of the use cases are still too far removed in 
terms of domain specific language, acronyms, etc. from where we want them to be 
to be broadly understandable and actionable - but we're trying to start 
somewhere and work on that :).

I think the more broadly applicable/interesting conversation from Marc's 
original question is how/where are operators coming at OpenStack from other 
directions documenting their use cases that they ultimately want to drive 
changes or new features in OpenStack with for community consumption? 

Thanks,

Steve
