Build a mini open source cloud to monitor/manage a larger vmware based cloud

Calgary Linux Users Group Meeting

  • Date: February 6, 2019 — 5:45 to 7:30 PM
  • Place: Central Library 4-20F Meeting Room. (seating for 8)
  • Address: 800 3 Street SE, Calgary, AB T2G 2E7

I have been thinking of doing a presentation on some work I’ve done:

Using SaltStack to build personal private clouds on bare metal. Through the presentation I can sprinkle snippets of code from:

Raymond Burkholder
  • debian pxe boot files
  • how I use Saltstack to custom build pxe boot files
  • using iproute2 for kernel based network configurations
  • using Open vSwitch for layer 2 switching
  • using Free Range Routing for layer 3 route distribution with BGP, EVPN, anycast
  • using LXC for containers (rather than docker)
  • maybe some nftables configurations for basic security
  • how redundancy and resiliency is built into the solution

This configuration was used to build a mini open source cloud to monitor/manage a larger vmware based cloud.
