How Sina Contributes to OpenStack

 

October 6, 2012

OpenStack launches a new release every 6 months. Essex was released 6 months ago, and Folsom came out on September 27. Every release  is followed by a third-party report on the individual and corporate contributions. In this article,  I’d like to talk about how we Sina OpenStack dev team, as an important corporate contributor in OpenStack projects, involves in the OpenStack community and how we contribute to OpenStack Folsom ?

6 months ago, in a report of Who Wrote OpenStack Essex? by ReadWriteWeb, we were surprised to see that Sina was for the first  time listed among Top 10 bugfix companies, ranking #9. My team was highly inspired, and we never thought that our little work in OpenStack could be able to be listed along with the International IT giants, like Rackspace, RedHat, IBM and HP.  Since then, we have devoted much more weight on the community development of OpenStack official projects, and  invested more resources and encouraged all team members  to engage in OpenStack community development as well.

As a result, we have achieved much progress during Folsom release according to the statistics from openstack-gitdm, which is maintained by Mark McLoughlin, an OpenStack contributor from Red Hat,  and provides the contribution data extracted from git commits, Gerrit and launchpad for 7 core projects of OpenStack during the whole Folsom release.

In general, we have contributed 147 patches to the 7 core projects of OpenStack, ranking #4; having 74 bugfix been approved, also ranking #4;  11,787 lines of code been merged, ranking #8, and we have 18 stackers who have code contributions in Folsom release, ranking #2 after Rackspace.  Bitergia’s report on Folsom using different toolset and methodology also concludes the similar result.  (More statistical graphs are shown in the photo gallery bellow)

Moreover, we have been involved in the collaborative developments of all the 7 core projects, which means we have balanced investment in these projects, and we believe this strategy  will benefit us in better understanding the whole OpenStack frameworks and different components. If only counted by the number of patch, we ranked #6 in Nova, #3 in Quantum, #3 in Cinder, #6 in Glance, #3 in Keystone and #11 in Horizon.

But why, how and what did we Sina OpenStack team contribute to OpenStack community and OpenStack projects?

Why and How?

In the mid of 2011, when the Diablo release was under heavy development, we decided to use OpenStack as our underlying system of Sina IaaS public Cloud, Sina Web Services(SWS), and another strategic product besides Sina App Engine(SAE), which is developed by my former team members and already the most popular public PaaS cloud in China.  But then OpenStack was full of bugs, not very stable and not ready for production deployment, and also lacked  some essential components, such as billing, monitoring and load balancer etc. So we invested several engineers to do bugfix, to implement new features and to design necessary services. In the beginning, we forked an internal branch from a particular commit of OpenStack, and had much development on the internal branch. Later we found that it is a little difficult to merge upstream updates to our own branch, if this condition did continue, our project would be dangerous since it would go more and more far way from the official projects, and we would finally lose the community and the ecosystem. So we stopped the trend immediately and cut down our own fork. Instead, we joined the community, collaborated with gurus around the world, and combined the requirement of our own public cloud projects and need of OpenStack community, so that we could be able to avoid duplicated development, and it has become a win-win game for the community and my employer. In fact, we have contributed all our bugfixes and feature improvements to upstream. We also opened sourced our own implementation of  biling(Dough) and monitoring(Kanyun). We benefited a great deal from  this change.

First, most importantly, many of my team members have  grown up from a newbie to an experienced and qualified OpenStack contributor through the collaborative community development in a short time, thus in turn the progress of our own projects were speeded up  with such quick learners.

Second, by means of contributing our own feature implementations and open-sourcing additional projects, we got lots of valuable feedback from PTLs, core developers and the community, guiding us to better software design and  implementation.

That’s why and how we are  involved in the community development and contributing to OpenStack.

What?

Besides code contribution mentioned above, what else have we done for OpenStack in the last 6 months?

As the early OpenStack dev team who operates the first production OpenStack cloud in China, we have done lots of work to promote OpenStack in China, as well as building COSUG to be the most active and influential open source user group in China. To be specific:

  • Among our 174 patches, some of which are tagged with high priority and critical for stability and usability of OpenStack projects, including:
  • Leading the COSUG to be the second largest user group after the official OpenStack community, with around 3000 members in total according to COSUG Updates presentation by Hui Cheng in Shenzhen OpenStack meet-up. We often plan and organize regular online and off-line OpenStack meet-up in Beijing and other cities, building a bridge connection for OpenStack developers, users and companies to communicate and share their insight regarding OpenStack and cloud computing.
  • As the lead manager of COSUG, our team leader Hui Cheng is responsible for operating the OpenStack Chinese portal, www.openstack.org.cn,  COSUG ML, COSUG official Weibo account @OpenStack(Weibo.com/OpenStack), and OpenStack events arrangement.
  • We devoted much time and energy in co-organizing the OpenStack Asia/Pacific Conference(OSAC) held in August, 2012, in Beijing, making it a successful and largest cloud event in Asia. It is the conference that make OpenStack and its community widely known and recognized  by most Chinese IT employees and companies.
  • We co-founded China Open-Source Cloud League(COSCL) with Intel,  which officially supports their developers to share R&D resources and jointly participates and contributes to Openstack official projects and the community.See news report about COSCL then.
  • We initiated StackLab.org projects, for TryStack.org is not accessible from China for same reasons.  StackLab is an fully accessible OpenStack Laboratory which now mainly provides an free OpenStack sandbox for the cloud developers, users and anyone else who is interested in OpenStack, testing and experiencing OpenStack.We have attracted more than 200 registered users in less than 1 week.  Here is StackLab news report and its HOWTO document.
  • We have planed the nationwide OpenStack promotion campaign, OpenStack China Tour, which is a series of meet-ups in Chinese major cities, covering most active OpenStack users and developers in China, such as Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Wuhan, Xi’an and Shanghai, and possibly more cities will be involved in.
  • We also have published articles and blogs about OpenStack projects and market opportunities  through InfoQ, CSDN, Programmer Magazine and our multi-language team blog freedomhui.com, these articles, blogs and our slides have been being regarded as important sources and reference for Chinese OpenStack users to know and learn OpenStack.

What’s more?

At the last OpenStack Conference and Design Summit in April, we shared our work through presentation Integrating OpenStack To Existing Infrastructure, and  Dough: OpenStack Billing Project.

For the upcoming OpenStack Summit at San Diego, we have prepared one presentation DevOps in OpenStack Public Cloud, and one design proposal Local Storage Volume plugin for Cinder for Grizzly, looking forward to seeing you guys in the grand meeting.

In August, 2012, I was elected by the individual members of the OpenStack global community as a board member of OpenStack Foundation, that drives me to continue contributing, promoting, and more deeply involved in OpenStack projects and the community.

Summary

Even though we have done these work, I would consider this is not enough, we still have large space to do better and more.

For example, even though we have good scores if counted by changeset or bugfix, the average changed lines is not very high compared the developers from Rackspace, RedHat and others. The rank by code influence is not high as well, and so far we do not have a core developer in any projects, and so on.

But we believe Sina OpenStack dev team will definitely have much more progress and more contributions in Grizzly.

In the end, we must thanks the OpenStack community, and the newly founded OpenStack Foundation, who help us grow up,  give us guidance to how to communicate and how to delve into the core of OpenStack.(See OpenStack Foundation birthday global meet-up in Beijing)

More importantly, OpenStack gives us great opportunity to success, not only in career, but also in business.

OpenStack China Tour #2 Shenzhen

 

September 29, 2012

The second stop of OpenStack China Tour, Shenzhen, has been successfully hosted by the COSUG and CSDN on Septempber 22, 2012, which is impressive til now, it was held in 3Wcoffee, a famous Internet theme coffee shop in Shenzen. It is the first time that OpenStack comes to Southern China, attracted about 80 attendees came in the scene, most of them are Cloud specialists, IT engineers, as well as OpenStack users from Canton, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Hangzhou etc.

Speakers are coming from Sina Corporation, HK Cyberport, Canonical, CIeNET Technologies, they shared the vision about OpenStack in the Cloud market in the Greater China, and the newly launched OpenStack Foundation, and the technical view of OpenStack core projects. The interaction and communication between speakers and audience is also relatively sufficient, these speakers have done impressive presentations, so that you could hear constant applause in the scene.

Like usual, the first lecture come to Hui Cheng, the lead manager of COSUG and the technical manager of Sina, who initiated the first OpenStack based public cloud in China, Hui also leads his team to become the active corporate contributor which make Sina rank in the top 10 companies by changeset in Folsom release. He was elected by individual members to be an board member of OpenStack Foundation, which makes him to take more responsibility to promote and empower OpenStack in China. This time Hui Cheng introduced the latest progress of OpenStack Foundation and COSUG, as well as delving a little deeper in the deployment of Sina OpenStack production environment and experiences gained from the whole process of building a public cloud based on OpenStack, also explained why Sina choose OpenStack and its underneath of KVM and Ubuntu.

Bruce Lok is responsible for OpenStack IaaS public cloud platform`s development and operations in the Technology Centre of Hong Kong Cyberport, which has been put into the production environment to use. Bruce is also the manager of the newly created HKOSUG, he is excited to promote of open source cloud software OpenStack to the Hong Kong IDC industry and the community.

Rongze Zhu, the storage engineer of Sina, is one of the top 20 contributors to OpenStack projects, he introduced the status and objectives of Cinder. The Cinder support a lot of back-end storage, including open-source sheepdog, and ceph etc. also including the major storage vendors like IBM, Dell, HP, NetApp storage`s products. Rongze said Cinder’s emergence also gave domestic storage vendors an opportunity to participate in Cloud computing, he introduced how to write a driver, to let Cinder support their own storage products.

Zhengpeng Hou, the cloud specialist from Canonical, introduced the latest deployment tool (juju) of OpenStack in Ubuntu, and a live demonstration showed, Zhengpeng emphasized that juju is open source, anyone can use free.

George Wang, the director of CIeNET Technologies, said that because OpenStack is more open than the other Cloud platforms, so he chose to build internal IaaS platform through OpenStack. Cloud platform, engineers of CIeNET around the world can reuse resources, they can also have the right to call and release resources, which greatly accelerates the speed of application deployment which meets user’s requirement, also to enhance the utilization of internal resources.

In the end of this event, audience were giving rounds of warm applause while Hui Cheng was having a closing address, “We are not afraid of disclosing and sharing our detail network topology and design spec of production deployment, as well as our secret to success, because it’s the spirit of Internet and Open-Source, which make us grown up and will lead us stronger and stronger.”

The China OpenStack Tour @ Shenzhen event has proved to be successful, we received many praise and positive feedback in Weibo and email, one attendee send us an email saying “You guys have done a good job in arranging this event, thanks for your selfless sharing and wonderful speech, it’s really helpful for our start-up company”.

The Top 3 New Swift Features in OpenStack Folsom

There has been a ton of activity in and around Swift throughout the Folsom release cycle. Swift has moved from version 1.4.8 in the Essex release to version 1.7.4 in the Folsom release. Some of the new features added in the Folsom release include the integration of Keystone middleware, the separation of the Swift CLI and client library so Glance can more easily integrate with Swift to store Nova images.

Swift has also added many new features to its core storage engine. Find out about it from SwiftStack Team.

Providing a Unified View of OpenStack Projects

 

September 27, 2012

The OpenStack project is in fact many projects, developed by hundreds of people, tens of companies, used by thousands. These projects are managed via a number of email lists as well as software engineering tools such like wiki, issue trackers, version control, continuous integration, etc. From my perspective as the Community Manager, achieving a coherent view of all the information is tedious and immensely difficult. I can imagine that community members and corporate members are struggling with the same issues and perhaps even additional ones.

Thus, we are undergoing an integration project to achieve interoperability of content within and between OpenStack projects with dashboards, reports, traceability, and faceted search. We have embarked on a pilot project with zAgile, using their open source Wikidsmart platform, which is an integration platform for software engineering tools as well as other applications like Help Desk (Zendesk, OTRS, etc.) and CRM (Salesforce, SugarCRM, etc.). zAgile has some interesting customer examples using its platform to unite their environment such as SIX, the company responsible for Switzerland’s financial infrastructure.

The intention is to give the community a way to answer questions like: who’s contributing to that particular feature of OpenStack? What is that developer working on? How many work hours/lines of code went into adding that feature/blueprint? What are users saying about OpenStack? With the Wikidsmart prototype we have integrated information across different systems to give corporate and community users a unified view of all the efforts going into OpenStack in real-time. The system answers questions with faceted search of concepts across all the different repositories, tracing people and artifacts across different repositories and bug tracker in order to reconcile people and corresponding contributions.

We are excited to share with you the results of the pilot and solicit your feedback in the following ways:

With the integration, we know that we can become a much more efficient project in terms of communicating to members, monitoring our progress, and getting work done. I hope you can join me in discussing this important topic, and I look forward to your thoughts as comments to this blog, in person at OpenStack Summit, and in the survey.

While work was underway to establish the new OpenStack Foundation, our thriving community once again delivered the release on-time and with all planned essential features.

The most impressive feature for me is the amount of people and companies that contributed to it: over 330 people from almost 50 companies. Not only the quantity of people involved in OpenStack Folsom has increased compared to the previous release Essex, but also the diversity of the echosystem increased. The study contributed by Bitergia shows how the ecosystem evolved between the two releases, increasing in size and diversity.

It’s time for yet another celebration before we head up to San Diego for the OpenStack Summit where we’ll start planning the next six months and Grizzly. The schedule for the Summit has been published: take advantage of the discount until the end of September (save $200) on the registration fee and come meet this amazing OpenStack community live in San Diego.
