Problems: New business line, super growth, 10x in next few years
Cost down, availability up
vDesktop, massive config changes, from IE to Chrome with a redeploy
Win => KVM => DevStack => 12.04
Thin Client => Switch => VDI
ARM clients, Salt & spice
Boot storm mitigation:
– MLC SSD, 4x 200gb, 2x 8core 160G ram, linked clones in 1s, delta file <5G 50 windows vms in 30s
simulation shows 60 per compute node
linked clone live migrates 1-2g delta 30s
Measuring experiance, how to measure if its as fast as desktop: offline page speed
Baremetal done using Razor and baremetal driver
VM provisioning, vCenter driver / deploy templates from datastores, neutron with dvswitch
Scheduler filters to HV / Datastore
Migration from VMware to KVM –
– Cost
– HA in app layer
– More OSS
Migration planned for 2014
