BBVA Bank on OpenStack Due to unproven scalability and security concerns, enterprises take a ‘wait and see’ approach to Open Source deployments much less OpenStack. Yet, not only are these deployments feasible but also can yield substantial multi tenant efficiency, agility, speed, dynamic and security advantages over legacy frameworks. While a hybrid cloud approach is quite popular for agile services delivery, for some enterprise segments a private cloud is essential in order to comply with regulations. In this session, we will explore how Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA (BBVA), a Spain-based global financial group, banks on OpenStack. BBVA has designed an automated, multi tenant service Cloud that provides: Efficient, granular security: Via a global policy framework from Nuage Networks Agility: Via utilization of KVM as a virtualization hypervisor Speed: Provisioning and delivery of services in near real-time via the RedHat OpenStack distribution Moreover, we show the integration of Neutron based on external SDN overlay solutions in order to improve the networking and security functionalities. This will be an eye-opening session – you can bank on it! (Seguro que si!)

4. Vision
Why hasn’t a bank 1B customers?
Because we can’t

5. 2Vision

6. Vision: Let’s go Cloud!
● Cloud sets up self provisioning infrastructure
● Hybrid Cloud allows unlimited elasticity (no constraints)
● Active-Active Hybrid Cloud boosts resilience
● Hybrid data model (sensitive aware) ensures privacy
● Programmable automation simplifies management

10. 3OpenStack

11. 3 - OpenStack: the beginnings.
● Our goals.
● Previous experience in public clouds.
● Why OpenStack?
● Why RedHat?
● How are we planning to use it?

12. 3 - OpenStack: there we go!
● Environments: PRE and PRO.
● Enclosures with Virtual Connects
o HP Blades, Proliant BL 660c
o Intel Xeon E5-2660
● Cloud Controller & Compute & Admin:
o 256Gb RAM
● Swift:
o 64Gb RAM & 12 HDD 1,2Tb
● Cinder & Glance:
o NetApp NFS

13. 3 - OpenStack: there we go!
● Infrastructure deployment: Foreman + Puppet (Staypuft)

20. 4SDN

21. 4 - SDN: Motivation
● Security Team needs to enforce security at all deployment
stages automatically.
● Programmability of network functions to automate
deployments.
● Growth capabilities between data centers.
● It’s a good point to introduce SDN into the organization.

22. 4 - SDN: Why Nuage?
● Domain Templates.
● Users roles.
● Automation.
● Consumable via REST API.
● Openstack integration via neutron plugin.
● dVRS (Distributed Routing and Switching).
● Hypervisor agnostic solution.

23. 4 - SDN: Openstack integration
● Virtualized Services Platform (VSP):
○ Virtualized Services Directory (VSD).
○ Virtualized Services Controller (VSC).
○ Virtual Routing and Switching (VRS).
○ Virtualized Services Gateway (VSG).
● Neutron plugin.
● Basic vs. Advanced mode integration.
● Floating-IPs.
● Horizon customization.
