OpenStack with Sunbeam for medium-scale cloud infrastructure
- OpenStack has become a leading open source cloud platform, with tools like Sunbeam making it more user-friendly.
- Using containers and microservices, OpenStack now runs on top of the cloud-native computing foundation, simplifying post-deployment operations.
- Setting up OpenStack with Sunbeam and MAAS by Canonical shows the necessity of hardware automation for deploying cloud infrastructure at scale.
- Sunbeam aims to lower the barrier to entry for OpenStack and simplify its deployment and operations processes.
- Canonical OpenStack (based on Sunbeam) delivers enterprise-grade cloud platform using core OpenStack services.
- Scaling OpenStack poses challenges with manual setup processes on multiple physical machines.
- Automating hardware provisioning is essential for scalability, with tools like MAAS being used for medium to large-scale deployments.
- MAAS discovers and maintains an inventory of hardware assets, automating provisioning and customization of bare metal.
- MAAS, alongside Sunbeam, streamlines complex deployments into a multi-step procedure with high-level abstraction.
- Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) with MAAS and Sunbeam allows modeling the entire deployment and maintaining configuration as code.
