The World without …

Workloads from social media sites, search engines which are data intensive but not compute intensive continue to use x86 server CPUs designed for compute-intensive enterprise applications thus underutilizing compute capacity and wasting energy.

Administrators pay for the cost of a premium CPU although processor utilization levels is as low as 20% or even less

Administrators continue to use virtualization to address the low CPU utilization problem,

which does not adequately address the needs of scale-out applications and web serving

IT administrators continue to manage, power and cool sheer number of devices in hyper scale environment

Workloads that are data intensive will use software defined servers with energy-efficient CPUs enabling optimal utilization of compute capacity at low energy

Compute cost will become proportional to CPU utilization

Extreme scale-out with optimal compute utilization will be enabled

Management of devices in hyper-scale environment will be simplified for IT

Provisioning Software-defined Servers

with HP Cloud OS


HP Cloud OS based on OpenStack®

• Simple and accelerated installation and configuration process

• Centralize management of your cloud environments

• Automated-live content distribution (upgrades, patches, content)

• Model-based infrastructure topology for multi-tier applications

• Enable hybrid delivery model

• Cloud infrastructure health monitoring

• Enable workload portability across cloud providers

• Model once, provision anywhere

• Workload aware provisioning

Industry’s first OpenStack®-based technology platform for hybrid delivery

Simplified delivery Enhanced service

lifecycle Optimized cloud workloads


HP Moonshot with HP Cloud OS

*Source: HP internal analysis

Accelerate scale out, high density server deployments

• Rapid bare metal provisioning

• Simplified OpenStack installation & management

• Enable large scale workloads (i.e. web services)

• Lower total cost of ownership

Delivering leading server technology and Cloud OS together

servers


• Nova baremetal component is added to support HP Moonshot provisioning

• Quantum configuration and self service dashboard were updated Setup and Installation

• Nova baremetal component is customized to enable Moonshot Provisioning • IPMI Power Manager is customized to support HP Moonshot HP Moonshot Provisioning

• Single FLAT network created to support baremetal provisioning • Quantum DHCP disabled as it conflicts DNSMASQ to support PXE booting FLAT Network Support

• New scripts were developed to discover and auto-enroll all servers in the Moonshot System at one go to nova baremetal database

Auto-enroll of

Moonshot Servers



• Nova baremetal install script includes nova configuration files, new IPMI dirver and auto-enrollment script

• Scripts to startup required service, install dependent debian packages, run the DNSMASQ for PXE booting and configure PXE/tftpboot are also packages with the nova barclamp

• Quantum install script includes script to disable Quantum DHCP, create single FLAT network and to create subnet

Nova Baremetal and Quantum Configuration

• Region specific panels like flavor panel, image panel, quota panel were

customized to enable Moonshot provisioning • Instances panel updated to embed serial console output of the Moonshot

instances • The instances panel updated to reflect the correct IP Address assigned to the

Moonshot instance by the baremetal host

Self Service Dashboard



Next Steps

• Synchronized release cadence to coincide with Moonshot releases

• Cloud OS for Moonshot is proposed to be available to all HP Moonshot customers

• Contributing nova-baremetal enhancements/features back to the community

• Closely working with the Ironic team to improve the Moonshot provisioning experience and

enable advanced networking for coexistence with virtualized environment

• Proposed to support provisioning of Standard x86 server along with Moonshot
