Apache CloudStack started as a project called VMOPs in 2008, was later open sourced as CloudStack and acquired by Citrix in 2011. In 2012 it was relicensed under the Apache License Version 2 and accepted as an Apache incubating project. CloudStack is a fully open source and community driven project for building IaaS clouds. It supports various cloud standards like OCCI for infrastructure management and OpenFlow for software defined networking. The first Apache CloudStack 4.0 release is expected in September 2012.

- 3. A bit of History •Original company VMOPs (2008) •Open source (GPLv3) as CloudStack •Acquired by Citrix (July 2011) •Relicensed under ASL v2 April 3, 2012 •Accepted as Apache Incubating Project April 16, 2012 •First Apache (ACS 4.0) release expected Sept 26th
- 4. Apache Process •100% community driven •New ideas, decisions only taken on mailing lists. •Votes taken by community •Project led by Project Management Committee (PMC): •http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html •http://incubator.apache.org/guides/committer.html •Non committers get invited as committers: •http://community.apache.org/newcommitter.html
- 7. OCCI
- 9. A very extensive API •CloudStack orchestrates your network: •Provisioning •Configuration •Updates •For multi-tenants isolation •Using hardware and software devices
- 10. API issues
- 11. Networking standards: OpenFlow •Leading SDN protocol •Decouples control and data plane by giving a controller the ability to install flow rules on switches. •Hardware or software •Google achieved 95% switches can use utilization of WAN OpenFlow backbone by using SDN •Spec driven by ONF
- 12. Conclusions CloudStack is fully Open Source and Community Driven We can expect to see CIMI/OCCI implementations integrated in the CloudStack code base Other standards (ONF) are being used Apache CloudStack 4.0 first release being voted on as we speak.
