Scaling Up OpenStack Networking with Routed Networks

In this presentation, we will introduce Neutron's Routed Networks functionality which was added during the Newton cycle. Routed Networks rely on a layer 3 architecture that routes traffic to small segments of the network to achieve scale. This approach serves well deployments where large scale is a paramount requirement and users just need a set of VMs with IP addresses.

Routed Networks showcases how technology can be simplified and scaled, two goals that are often difficult to meet together. We hope to inspire architectural decisions that eliminate unnecessary complexity and complicated user experiences.

This presentation will include a live demo.


What can I expect to learn?

At the end of this presentation, the audience will have a good understanding of the following topics:

  *   Why Routed Networks is needed?
  *   Use cases for Routed Networks
  *   How Routed Networks achieves scale with simplicity?
  *   Routed Networks implementation
  *   Routed Networks deployment guidelines

The audience for this presentation is anyone looking for easier and more scalable networking in the cloud.  Attendees can expect to hear, in detail, about the work happening in OpenStack to facilitate external connections to Routed Networks. The content is not limited to OpenStack, the design principles are relevant to any large cloud-like network deployment.
