Why
Folsom?

What
is
a
Private
Cloud?
Elastic
or
Traditional
Virtualization
(hint:
Pick
One!)
Multi-‐tenant
(Multi-‐Application)
Size
Private
API
endpoints
Limited
inbound
connectivity
Customized
for
speciﬁc
workloads

Flavor: m1.tiny
Ram: 512MiB
vCPU: 1

Total instances:
24

Build

#

on
this
physical
host?
Flavor: ram heavy
Ram: 64GiB
vCPU: 8
Disk: 100GiB
Total instances:
2
vCPU Ram Disk

Capacity
Thoughts
Don’t allow disk size of 0
Public Cloud: Limit flavors to image size
Private Cloud: Can add flavors for specific
application profiles
Network Utilization

Capacity
Thoughts
I can always add more machines....
But you can’t change or modify the ﬁxed
network once instances are running

Floating

Each

of
OpenStack
has
its
own
architecture
Folsom
is
stable

Migration
(live,
block)
works
but
scenarios
exist
where
it

doesn’t
OpenStack
is
still
changing
