Updates in the new version of OpenEBS, OpenEBS0.2.

1. Containerized Storage for Containers
@OpenEBS
8 April 2017

2. Containerized Storage for Containers!
It is happening!!!

3. Manifests
express
intent
K8S used with special care for apps requiring
persistence because they require brittle tight
coupling.
Container 1 Container 2 Container 2
Hard wired connections via plug-in
stateless stateful
NAS SAN S3 NAS SAN S3
Without OpenEBS DevOps workflow broken

4. Manifests
express
intent
stateless stateful
No changes to DevOps workflow even for containers requiring
persistence. Users manifest their intent and the storage and
storage controllers adjust automatically as needed.

Containers and underlying storage,

pods OR remote S3 or EBS storage
all grouped into a storage cloud that
just works. Billing by AWS.

With OpenEBS the workflow works

7. OpenEBS - Word of mouth
Containerized storage for containers
Calico / Flannel owns networking for K8S. OpenEBS owns
storage.
The only open source solution built for this. CEPH is not built
to be containerized.
I run (use) OpenEBS just like I run (use) K8S (EBS).
OpenEBS got the storage ops off my back! Because of OpenEBS
we are rolling into production.

27. VSM - Containerized Storage Stack
(5) NVMe Flash or
Storage Backends
attached to Docker Hosts
(3) Backend Containers
to Persist Data
[Cached, Protected]
(1) Frontend Containers
[N/w Storage Service
iSCSI/NFS]
(2) Sync Replication
[Replicated to
different locations]
Local
Disks
NAS
or
SAN
Cloud
Storage
(4) Persistence Disk
Partitions from local
hosts.
Frontend Containers and Backend Containers
encapsulate the storage functionality in docker
images. These containers are scheduled using
orchestration engines like Kubernetes.
OpenEBS Maya Orchestration layer will manage
different types of storage and helps in carving
out the required persistent disks / cache for
Backend Containers.
Maya Orchestration Services can be deployed as
containers in K8s.

31. http://www.networkworld.com/article/3159735/cloud-computing/containers-what-are-containers.html
What is Containerization
Code and it is
dependencies are
packaged into
“container” executable
Runs in any supported
runtime
Light-weight and spins
up faster.

32. Where does OpenEBS fit?
DevOps and containers are the future
Which is already here, but unevenly distributed
Real computing needs persistence
But - persistence for DevOps & containers is broken
