Deploying a robust and dependable OpenStack cloud isn't trivial, and the unpredictable nature of a mixed cloud infrastructure can add an extra layer of uncertainty. When a workload simultaneously makes a request for resources, such as virtual machines, networks, or volumes/shares, it calls the underlying OpenStack infrastructure components like message queues, concurrent database connections etc. If your cloud isn't ready for it, this is where things can go wrong-delays, slow performance, you know the drill.
In this session, we'll look at a jointly designed, developed, and Cisco-validated design for OpenStack deployment on FlexPod. It's delivered by Red Hat, Cisco and NetApp to improve your odds for success and reduce your risks. You'll gain insight into some of the design choices and configuration options that might affect the ability of OpenStack to perform under high stress conditions, while ensuring performance guarantees, tenant isolation, and zero downtime.
