Infrastructure as Code in OpenStack with Ansible - Advanced Neutron Use Cases

This session will explore the step by step approach to deploy 4 popular use cases configuring advanced Neutron

1) Deploy a Load Balanced 2 tier infrastructure (Using Oracle and Tomcat) that leverages LBaaS v2.  How to perform proactive autoscaling by code - and bypassing the LBaaS v2 lack of integration with Heat / Ceilometer.

2) FWaaS use case to block by code certain ports in our two tier infrastructure while allowing your end users to still reach the core services.

3) Configure a VPNaaS across two separate OpenStack clouds.

In this use case our web services are running in one OpenStack cloud (could be a public cloud) while our database services are running safely on premise in a separate private cloud. VPNaaS will allow the comminication between Tomcat in our "public" cloud and Oracle in our "private" cloud.  This is transparent to the end user.

4) Baremetal provisioning with Ansible playbooks:  A quick demo to showcase the configuration management capabilities of Ansible on Baremetal.


What can I expect to learn?

The attendants will walk out of this session knowing how to make use of different technologies to orchestrate and automate the deployment of complex cloud infrastructures by making use of code.

Technologies like Ansible, HEAT and shell scripting have their own advantages and are suited to different automation scenarios.  

We will explore and demo - how it is possible to combine these technologies in order to deploy the four complex use cases described in the abstract.

Thanks for great (and successful!) demos and a very interesting discussion of how bi-modal IT can be enabled using infra-as-code. It's a shame the demos were barely legible; might have been better off recording them in a full-screen environment
