Synnefo: A Full Cloud Stack Over Google Ganeti – V. Koukis, (GRNET)

Vangelis Koukis will introduce Synnefo [1]: a complete open source cloud stack written in Python/Django, providing Compute, Network, Image, Volume and Storage services, similar to the ones offered by AWS. Synnefo manages multiple Ganeti clusters at the backend for the handling of low-level VM operations and exposes the OpenStack APIs to users. Vangelis will talk about how decoupling the cloud layer from the cluster layer boosts stability and scalability. He will describe Synnefo_s unified, content-addressable storage layer for files, images, and volumes, and how it enables thin, zero-copy cloning and snapshotting independently of the underlying storage technology, with support for live migrations. Finally, the talk will include a sneak peak at a large-scale deployment of Synnefo [2]. [1] http://goo.gl/BFaCB [2] http://goo.gl/aKUEb http://events.linuxfoundation.org/
