CloudStack & Public Cloud
• We are talking about IaaS• CloudStack is good for public cloud operation
- Originally designed for public cloud- Inspired from Amazon Web Service- Has proven its success all over the world- ASL 2.0
Need a billing system (portal)• CloudStack does not contain a portal (not open sourced)• Still a lot of work to make portal ready for their special needs

Public Cloud in China
![Page 7: CloudStack challenges for China customers](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110306/554cb6e6b4c905aa608b4f0d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Public Cloud is Tough
• It’s not just about technology
• Large initial investment
• Bandwidth control
• Trustworthy–Business–Billing, prepaid before use–Measurement–Privacy
![Page 8: CloudStack challenges for China customers](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110306/554cb6e6b4c905aa608b4f0d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What about private cloud?
![Page 9: CloudStack challenges for China customers](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110306/554cb6e6b4c905aa608b4f0d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CloudStack & Private Cloud
CloudStack is also a choice for private cloud
• Maturity
• Stability
• Relatively easy to maintain
• Rich network features
• Freely customization
• Apache community

Private cloud customer focus
① Stability
② Customization
③ Local support
④ The fancy concept
⑤ Cost

What they asked most?
• Virtualization & Cloud
• CloudStack vs. VMware
• CloudStack vs. OpenStack
![Page 12: CloudStack challenges for China customers](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110306/554cb6e6b4c905aa608b4f0d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Virtualization & Cloud
• Virtualization technology• Software on top of OSes• Infrastructure aware• Relative small scale • Maintenance on your own• Expensive hardware• Scale up for Performance tuning• IT admin oriented
• Virtualization is fundamental• Computing/Storage/Network• Massive scale, easy operation• Easy on administration• Employee self-service• Commodity hardware• Scale out for Performance tuning• IT admin & end user oriented

Why do people choose VMware alternatives?
Never compare with feature set , stability , SLA;
There are other things need to concern:• Cost• Control• Customization• Local support
![Page 15: CloudStack challenges for China customers](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110306/554cb6e6b4c905aa608b4f0d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CloudStack vs. OpenStack
• Stability
• Network Features
• Deployment
• Easy to start
• Dependency ~
• Apache Foundation
• Visibility• Population• Loose couple• Release Cycle• Cost on start up• OpenStack Foundation
![Page 16: CloudStack challenges for China customers](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110306/554cb6e6b4c905aa608b4f0d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why transfer to CloudStack?
• They got in trouble on OpenStack
• They don’t have extra resources on IaaS
• It’s easy to start with CloudStack
• CloudStack works fine
• They trust Apache community

Real case study
• Basic info
• Vision
• E-Gov whole picture
• Network topology
• What we learnt
![Page 18: CloudStack challenges for China customers](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110306/554cb6e6b4c905aa608b4f0d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Basic info
• Private cloud, ongoing
• Government information system virtualization
• Objective– Resource sharing for different departments– Services improvement– Enlarge service scope to many domains
• TCloud provides product, support & solution– Based on CloudStack 3.0.3– Will upgrade to CloudStack 4.0.2 soon

Current deployment
• Computing– Supermicro 6026– 6 ~ 10 advanced zones– 1 pod in each zone– 1 ~ 3 clusters in each pod– XenServer 5.6 FP1 – Vshpere 4.1– MySQL Active-standby
mode– >200 hosts– MS cluster
• Storage– IBM NAS– NFS/iSCSI for
Primary Storage– NFS for secondary
storage
• Network– Gigabytes– Public + Guest used
1 nic– Storage +
Management used 1 nic
– No nic bonding

Make CloudStack success in China
• Release cycle
• Keep high quality release
• Extremely easy on enhancement
• Documentation
• Non OSS distribution
• Make noise - We need such conference
