Telemetry Service in openstack
Posted January 18, 2016 by Jossy Watson
Telemetry Service in openstack Telemetry service is used in openstack for metering rate of resources used by each service and generating bills for corresponding usage. We can interact openstack via API or from command line. In the initial stage openstack development gave less importance to telemetry service. After development of heat service the telemetry service transforms into a Giant CPU Eater and also difficulty in time series data storage which leads to evolution. Now, many developers are working on telemetry project and the project was divided into three, Aodh,Ceilometer and…

Openstack is an open-source cloud computing platform. It is deployed as IAAS and can be deployed anywhere. Nova is the most important and complicated part in the Openstack project. The core of Openstack project is the Compute module, known as Nova, which is responsible for the provision, management and termination of VMs. Components of Nova: Database: Nova stores all of its instances, users, groups, and networks in database and are tracked using a relational database that you can query to get information API: Nova API service listens to…
CINDER : Block storage as a service
Posted by bipin
What is meant by a block storage? In block level storage each block acts as an individual hard drive and is configured by the storage administrator. These blocks are controlled by the server-based operating system, and are generally accessed by Fibre Channel (FC), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) or iSCSI protocols. Since the volumes are treated as individual hard disks, block storage works well for storing a variety of applications such as file systems and databases. They also tend to be more flexible and provide better performance. But…

Ceph internals and Integration with Openstack
Posted by John Mathew
Ceph is software defined storage system. It is an open source system which provides a unified storage system which is highly scalable and without a single point of failure. Because of it is open, scalable and distributed, Ceph is becoming the best storage solution for cloud computing technologies. Ceph is the best storage option for cloud computing because every component in Ceph is scalable, there is no single point of failure, Ceph runs on readily available commodity hardware and everything is self manageable in Ceph. Ceph provides…
A comparative review of Swift vs Ceph
Posted January 6, 2016 by John Mathew
Swift and Ceph are popular cloud storage systems. Swift provides object storage and ceph provides object and block storage. Swift is an open source object storage system, that runs on standard server hardware. Swift supports RESTful HTTP APIs, data replication across various failure zones, scaling out without downtime etc. Objects are written to multiple drives, and data is replicated across a cluster. If a node fails swift replicates the contents from active nodes to new nodes in the cluster. Swift storage can be accessed through REST HTTP APIs.…
Detail about DAS – SAN -NAS Storage
Posted December 22, 2015 by saraths
DAS - Direct Attached Storage DAS is short for direct attached storage. Direct attached storage (DAS) is digital storage that is attached directly to a computer or a server. In other words, DAS isn't part of a storage network. The most familiar example of DAS is the internal hard drive in a laptop or desktop PC. In practice, the phrase direct attached storage is used most often in reference to dedicated storage arrays attached directly to servers. It is used to distinguish DAS from networked storage arrangements, like SAN…
An Introduction to FreeNAS
Posted December 2, 2015 by Bibin Kurian
FreeNAS is an open source storage platform based on Freebsd and supports sharing across Windows,Apple and Unix-like systems. It is an operating system that can be installed on virtual machines or in physical machines to share data storage via computer network.The FreeNas Project and software were originally founded by Olivier Cochard-Labbe in 2005 on the principle that network storage be made available to the world at no coast.FreeNAS uses the ZFS file system, which supports high storage capacities and integrates file systems and volume management into a single…
Openstack VLAN Networking Overview
Posted November 30, 2015 by Jossy Watson
Networking In Openstack OpenStack Networking is an open source, scalable and API-driven system for producing a cluster of networking services in a manageable environment. Openstack is similar to AWS. Openstack a leading community software for today's private cloud. Openstack Networking offers software-defined networking, which can create multiple networks in a networking environment without using hardware switches and routers. Openstack community creates different projects to manage networking as a service such as Nova and Neutron. Nova service is used for both networking and computing, but neutron is made solely…
