FIWARE Lab is a multi-region federated Cloud, based on OpenStack. Currently it comprises 15 regions spread all over Europe (but with a presence also in LatAm). It offers a capacity of more than 3000 cores, 10 TB RAM, 500 TB disk and is going to be further expanded with the addition of new regions/nodes.
By leveraging Ceilometer and Monasca, we developed a distributed and scalable monitoring system for FIWARE Lab able to collect, process, analyse and finally present the relevant data to the interested users. This presentation will focus on the architecture of the solution and on how two OpenStack projects have been customized, enhanced and deployed in order to meet the expected requirements: collection of custom resource metrics and sanity check measurements, data confidentiality and data replication, real time data vs historical aggregated data on different dimensions (time, tenant, “space”), data analytics, unified cross-region data visualization. Finally a short demo is presented.
The presentation offers a case study for the monitoring of a multi-region and federated Cloud. Attendees will learn how to set up a distributed and scalable architecture, based on Ceilometer and Monasca, that offers real-time monitoring, data aggregation, data confidentiality, data analytics and sanity check measurement:
- Cloud providers will get a fresh perspective on how to manage the monitoring of a federated multi-region Cloud and how to solve issues that they can face;
- Developers will get a deep dive into architectural patterns and deployment solutions for multi-region and federated Cloud monitoring.
