Four Phases of the Journey
Initial excitement
Stumbling and fumbling
Regrouping
Nova Novice
Initial Excitement
Learning something new is always fun
Jump in and run
Leverage your network

Prepare to Stumble
SDDC is a whole new way to think about infrastructure
Linux is hard for me, no easy graphical installer
A good guide is great… unless you skip a line
Tips for Regrouping
Brush up on Linux, VI at the very least
Learn the lingo and relate it to your existing knowledge set
Invest in a book OpenStack in Action by Cody Bumgardner
Install Devstack in your home lab
VMware Integrated Openstack if you have resources
Finally… What is Openstack?
Open source cloud operating system which consolidates compute, storage, and networking
Multiple individual projects
Public cloud experience in a private datacenter
Intended for elastic, resilient apps. Fewer availability and management options for individual VM uptime by default (HA/FT/Resource Groups/vSphere snapshots)
Very Basic Overview
Keystone centralizes authentication
Nova manages compute
Cinder manages block storage
Neutron manages Software Defined Networking
Horizon Dashboard brings it all together
VMware Integrated Openstack
All availability options of VMware and deployment options of Openstack
There are a LOT of requirements to test it out Dedicated compute cluster with three hosts 56 vCPU, 192 GB RAM, 600 GB
HDD Extra resources for NSX if you choose to use it over vDS
Check out HOL-SDC-1620
What’s the Next Step?
Fully implement VMware Integrated Openstack as proof of technology
Keep learning Linux
Interested in consuming more than creating
