NetApp believes strongly in OpenStack and we use it to empower our Dev and QA teams by providing them with on-demand environments. However, running OpenStack in production can lead to some really interesting challenges, especially when you need scalability and performance for thousands of VMs!
Our production environment is one in which thousands of engineers count on for reliable delivery of Linux and Windows VMs each day to develop and test our storage operating systems. Most recently, we have built a DevOps environment where engineers can obtain on-demand instances of a software defined version of our storage operating system.
In this session, you will learn about our architectural decisions and get a glimpse of how NetApp utilizes smart data center infrastructure analytics for resource optimization, better capacity planning, and resolving issues before they even happen!
