you might be wondering what benefits SUSE brings to these open source
projects. Let me share with you some details about being a trusted
source and enterprise-ready. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">SUSE
has been </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">a major player in the
open source industry</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> for over 25
years, and our longstanding success is rooted deeply in this circle
of trust. SUSE knows open source. And we know what it means to be
enterprise ready. We have repeatedly and successfully turned open
source technologies into powerful enterprise-class software solutions
</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">you use today</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">.
Key to our success, we have an innovative software management stack
that is enterprise grade, we have a powerful build model that
enhances our abilities to deliver enterprise-ready software, and we
deliver enhanced security protection across the whole stack. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">But
m</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">ost importantly our </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">engineers</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">
are trained and certified and ready to serve you. </span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">With
SUSE Cloud Application Platform, SUSE brings this model of trusted,
enterprise-grade, open source software to your application delivery
teams. You get a complete, open source solution with everything
needed to accelerate application delivery, including </span><span style="color: navy;"><u><a href="https://github.com/SUSE/scf"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">SUSE

<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server is at the core of the technologies we have
created. The package management has been enhanced for containers. We
have built an enterprise-grade container host OS called MicroOS which
utilizes the enhancements. Updates for MicroOS are released on a
continuous delivery model as transactional updates. These updates are
atomic, don't influence the running system, and can be rolled back in
the event you need to. The system can be manually rebooted to
activate the changes that were applied from any updates, or be set up
to reboot automatically on a scheduled basis through the rebootmgr
tool. Everything delivered is signed and verified from SUSE sources.
These features make MicroOS an ideal infrastructure for running
Kubernetes, by addressing key </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">reliability,
</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">availability, </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">serviceability
(RAS)</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> and security requirements
</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">for</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">
any enterprise environment. You can read further at the </span><span style="color: navy;"><u><a href="https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Kubic"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">openSUSE
Kubic project portal</span></a></u></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">
which is the upstream project for Container as a Service Platform.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">Many
developers today are comfortable building containers on linux
variants that are not enterprise hardened, but those same containers
will most likely be unacceptable in production environments. When
you use SUSE Cloud Application Platform, you can </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">be
assured that your application is built on </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">containers
</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">using </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">SUSE
Linux Enterprise base images, and </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">you
know</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> that your container will make
it out of dev/test and into production without any trouble. We
utilize our powerful build model and the </span><span style="color: navy;"><u><a href="http://openbuildservice.org/"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">Open
Build Service</span></a></u></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> to
build our base container images using </span><span style="color: navy;"><u><a href="https://opensuse.github.io/kiwi/"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">KIWI</span></a></u></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">.
These container images are built, signed, and verified in the Open
Build Service, and then each image is signed and readied for a
public/private notary. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">Moving
up the SUSE Cloud Application Platform stack, you’ll see how we’ve
carried our trademark enterprise-grade value further, into SUSE Cloud
Foundry. Signed and readied SUSE images are used as our base for the
SUSE Cloud Foundry </span><span style="color: navy;"><u><a href="https://github.com/SUSE/fissile"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">Fissile</span></a></u></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">
Stem Cell that runs both the Cloud Foundry application stack and
Build Packs. On top of all of that, these OCI compliant </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">images
</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">can be used to implement your
application, or a third party application, without the hassle of
stripping </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">the base image</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">
down and recreating it. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">The
SUSE build model, utilizing the Open Build Service and other open
source software </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">gives</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">
us </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">the advantage of having a </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">fully
</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">secured, tested, signed, and
verified </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">delivery of the entire
SUSE Cloud Application Platform, from source to image to notary and
into your hands. These sources go through hundreds of quality
assurance models daily in our </span><span style="color: navy;"><u><a href="https://openqa.opensuse.org/"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">openQA</span></a></u></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">
tool as part of our pipeline delivery. </span>

<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">And,
while we’re on the absolutely critical topic of security, let’s
recognize that there’s more to that than secure images. The whole
SUSE Cloud Application Platform solution has been designed and
delivered with security in mind. We fully support and integrate
Apparmor on the container host (MicroOS). We </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">also
</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">support the implementation of </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">UEFI</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">

If you used the SUSE OpenStack Cloud 4 Admin Appliance, you know it was a downloadable, OpenStack Icehouse-based appliance, which even a non-technical user could get off the ground to deploy an OpenStack cloud. Today, I am excited to tell you about the new Juno-based SUSE OpenStack Cloud 5 Admin Appliance.</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
With the<span style="font-size: small;"> SUSE OpenStack Cloud 4</span> release we moved to a single integrated version. After lots of feedback from users it was clear that no one really cared that downloading something over 10GB mattered as long as it had everything they needed to start an OpenStack private cloud. In version 5 the download is over 15GB, but it actually has all of the software you might need from SLES 11 or SLES 12 compute infrastructure to SUSE Enterprise Storage integration. I was able to integrate the latest SMT mirror repositories at a reduced size and have everything you might need to speed your deployment.</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The new appliance incorporates all of the needed software and repositories to set up, stage and deploy OpenStack Juno in your sandbox lab, or production environments. Coupled with it are the added benefits of automated deployment of highly available cloud services, support for mixed-hypervisor clouds containing KVM, Xen, Microsoft Hyper-V, and VMware vSphere, integration of our award winning, SUSE Enterprise Storage, support from our award-winning, worldwide service organization and integration with SUSE Engineered maintenance processes. In addition, there is integration with tools such as SUSE Studio™ and SUSE Manager to help you build and manage your cloud applications.</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
With the availability of SUSE OpenStack Cloud 5, and based on feedback from partners, vendors and customers deploying OpenStack, it was time to release a new and improved Admin Appliance. This new image incorporates the most common use cases and is flexible enough to add in other components such as SMT (Subscription Management Tool) and SUSE Customer Center registration, so you can keep your cloud infrastructure updated.</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The creation of the SUSE OpenStack Cloud 5 Admin Appliance is intended to provide a quick and easy deployment. The partners and vendors we are working with find it useful to quickly test their applications in SUSE OpenStack Cloud and validate their use case. For customers it has become a great tool for deploying production private clouds based on OpenStack.</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
With <a href="https://susestudio.com/a/Mrr6vv/suse-openstack-cloud-5-admin">version 5.0.x</a> you can proceed with the following to get moving now with OpenStack.</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Its important that you start by reading and understanding the Deployment Guide before proceeding. This will give you some insight into the requirements and an overall understanding of what is involved to deploy your own private cloud.</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
See the <a href="https://www.suse.com/documentation/suse-cloud-5/book_cloud_deploy/data/book_cloud_deploy.html">SUSE Cloud 5 Deployment Guide</a></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>

A new fun feature to try out in SUSE OpenStack Cloud 5 is the <a href="https://www.suse.com/documentation/suse-cloud-5/book_cloud_deploy/data/app_deploy_crowbatch.html">batch deployment</a> capability. The appliance includes three templates in the /root home directory ( NFS.yaml, DRBD.yaml, simple-cloud.yaml )<br />
<br />
NFS.yaml will deploy a 2 node controller cluster with NFS shared storage and 2 compute nodes with all of the common OpenStack services running in the cluster.<br />
<br />
DRBD.yaml will deploy a 2 node controller cluster with DRBD replication for the database and messaging queue and 2 compute nodes with all of the common OpenStack services running in the cluster.<br />
<br />
simple-cloud.yaml will deploy 1 controller and 1 compute node with all of the common OpenStack services running in a simple setup. </div>

I felt it time to update the appliance to include patches to the latest known threats and critical updates to OpenStack.<br />
<br />
Latest version 4.0.3<br />
<br />
Changes from <a href="https://github.com/cseader/suse-cloud-appliances" target="_blank">Github Project</a><br />

<div>
Please visit the the landing page for the appliance to get more information and documentation <a href="https://susestudio.com/a/Mrr6vv/suse-openstack-cloud-4-admin--2" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div>
Some future things that are coming to look forward to. </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Incorporating an Installation media which includes the latest packages from the update repositories for SLES 11 SP3, High Availability Extension, and SUSE Cloud 4 OpenStack. This Installation media will allow me to exclude the full update repositories on the image and therefore reduce the size of the image to just under 2GB. </li>
<li>Moving the build of the image over to <a href="https://build.opensuse.org/" target="_blank">openSUSE OBS</a> (<a href="http://openbuildservice.org/" target="_blank">Open Build Service</a>) to allow more rapid deployment and testing.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
These things will allow for greater portability of the OpenStack software and inherent with it you can install anywhere. Install on VMware. Install on Virtual Box. Install on KVM. Install on Bare Metal. You can truly use this image to deploy and test it out on VMware or KVM, and from the same image you can use it to deploy a full production OpenStack on Bare Metal. I have even used it to install and test OpenStack out on AWS. So go forth and enjoy installing OpenStack with ease. I challenge you to start using this appliance and see how easy it can be to setup and run OpenStack software. </div>

<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
If
you used the SUSE Cloud 3 OpenStack Admin Appliance, you know it was
a downloadable, OpenStack Havana-based appliance, which even a
non-technical user could get off the ground to deploy an OpenStack
cloud. Today, I am excited to tell you about the new Icehouse-based
SUSE Cloud 4 OpenStack Admin Appliance.</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
With
<span style="font-size: small;">that initial SUSE Cloud 3</span> release, there were two
versions: Standard and Embedded. After feedback from users it was
clear that the user experience was not much different between the
two, and the important goal was to reduce the overall size of the
download. To address the situation, I came up with some innovations
that led to a single, smaller image that incorporates the
functionality of both the Standard and Embedded versions.
</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The
new appliance incorporates all of the needed software and
repositories to set up, stage and deploy OpenStack Icehouse in your
sandbox lab, or production environments. Coupled with it are the
added benefits of automated deployment of highly available cloud
services, support for mixed-hypervisor clouds containing KVM, Xen,
Microsoft Hyper-V, and VMware vSphere, support from our
award-winning, worldwide service organization and integration with
SUSE Engineered maintenance processes. In addition, there is
integration with tools such as SUSE Studio™ and SUSE Manager to
help you build and manage your cloud applications.
</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
With
the availability of SUSE Cloud 4, and based on feedback from
partners, vendors and customers deploying OpenStack, it was time to
release a new and improved Admin Appliance. This new image
incorporates the most common use cases and is flexible enough to add
in other components such as SMT (Subscription Management Tool) and
SUSE Customer Center registration, so you can keep your cloud
infrastructure updated.
</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The
creation of the SUSE Cloud 4 OpenStack Admin Appliance is intended to
provide a quick and easy deployment. The partners and vendors we are
working with find it useful to quickly test their applications in
SUSE Cloud and validate their use case. For customers it has become a
great tool for deploying production private clouds based on
OpenStack.</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Its
important that you start by reading and understanding the Deployment
Guide before proceeding. This will give you some insight into the
requirements and an overall understanding of what is involved to
deploy your own private cloud.</div>

You can download the Standard or Embedded version. The major change in this version has to do with the consolidation of the logic code required to maintain both images and splitting out some obvious differences between the two appliances. The Embedded appliance now distinctly has the customer center registration and patch mirror process removed as part of the setup as it slowed down the deployment and ease of use it was intended to have. Although it still maintains its ease of use and deployment it is much quicker now and requires less required input to get OpenStack up and running. This is certainly ideal for quick testing and kicking the tires with SUSE Cloud and OpenStack. The Standard version is still the same, but again has all of the same logic rolled up into it, but the steps still remain the same. It is ideal for deploying SUSE Cloud into a production environment.<br />

<br />
Standard has a process which will mirror all of the required repositories for the Admin Server, and contains the SLES 11 SP3 / SUSE Cloud ISO's<br />
<br />
Embedded has everything that the standard image has and all of the required patch and update repositories in the image ready for you to consume. It might take a little longer to download but might be worth the wait if you need something with everything included and you want a quick testing environment to play with.<br />

7. mount SLES 11 SP3/Cloud ISOs permanently instead of extracting files once the appliance is deployedcseaderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05973362401210996763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1977547450130135970.post-77303252498110971752014-04-07T11:34:00.001-06:002014-04-11T11:02:31.646-06:00Quickly Setting-up an OpenStack Cloud with the SUSE Cloud 3 Admin Appliance In an effort to make OpenStack available to the non-tech user and appear much less of a heavy lifting project for them, I have created the SUSE Cloud 3 Admin Appliance. I have worked with so many partners, vendors, and customers deploying OpenStack with SUSE Cloud that the idea came to me that SUSE had some great tools that would enable me to create something that they could use to easily deploy, test, and discover OpenStack on their own without a whole lot of effort required. SUSE has integrated Crowbar/Chef as part of the installation framework for our enterprise OpenStack distribution – SUSE Cloud – to improve the speed of deploying and managing OpenStack clouds. This has allowed us to be flexible in our deployment when working with partners and software vendors and provide greater ease of use.<br />
<br />
The creation of the SUSE Cloud 3 Admin Appliance is intended to provide a quick and easy deployment. The partners and vendors we are working with find it useful to quickly test their applications in SUSE Cloud and validate their use. Beyond those cases it has become a great tool for deploying your production private cloud based on OpenStack.<br />
<br />
I have developed two different appliances and you can find them here:<br />
<br />
Standard v1.0.1: <a href="https://susestudio.com/a/Mrr6vv/suse-cloud-3-admin">SUSE Cloud 3 Admin Standard</a><br />
Embedded v1.0.1: <a href="https://susestudio.com/a/Mrr6vv/suse-cloud-3-admin-embedded">SUSE Cloud 3 Admin Embedded</a><br />
<br />
Standard has a process which will mirror all of the requiredrepositories to the Admin Server.<br />
<br />
Embedded has all of the required repositories in the image ready for you to consume. It might take a little longer to download, but might be worth the wait if you need something portable that can quickly load a private cloud.<br />
<br />
This is version 1.0.x <br />
<br />
Its important that you answer several questions before proceeding. You can find those questions in the <a href="https://www.suse.com/documentation/suse-cloud3/book_cloud_deploy/data/book_cloud_deploy.html">SUSE Cloud 3 Deployment Guide</a><br />
<br />
This Questionnaire will help you as a companion to the Deployment Guide. <a href="https://www.suse.com/communities/conversations/files/2014/03/SUSECloudDGQuestionaire1.pdf">SUSE Cloud Questionnaire</a><br />
<br />
This guide on using the appliance can help walk you through step by step. <a href="https://www.suse.com/communities/conversations/files/2014/03/SUSE-Cloud-AA-Guide.pdf">SUSE Cloud Admin Appliance Guide</a><br />
