How to Survive an OpenStack Cloud Meltdown with Ceph

What if you lost your datacenter completely in a catastrophe, but your users hardly noticed? Sounds like a mirage, but it’s absolutely possible.

This talk will showcase OpenStack features enabling multisite and disaster recovery functionalities. We’ll present the latest capabilities of OpenStack and Ceph for Volume and Image Replication using Ceph Block and Object as the backend storage solution, as well as look at the future developments they are driving to improve and simplify the relevant architecture use cases, such as Distributed NFV, an emerging use case that rationalizes your IT by using less control planes and allows you to spread your VNF on multiple datacenters and edge deployments.

In this session you will learn about wew OpenStack features enabling Multisite and distributed deployments, as well as review key use cases, architecture design and best practices to help operations avoid the OpenStack cloud Meltdown nightmare.
