Open Networking Summit 2017

Architecturing and Securing IoT Cloud Platforms, Drasko Draskovic, Mainflux

IoT device management and multi-protocol messaging platform demands specific architectural decisions and high-concurrency approaches due to the massive number of devices we expect to be connected in the near future. All of this must be done with high security in mind, as well as respecting requirements for low-power, memory constrained devices with intermittent connectivity and limited bandwidth.

We will analyze the architecture, implementation and testing procedures needed for creating an industry-grade IoT platform and propose a patent-free open-source solution based on a set of scalable microservices with high concurrency and high security based on PKI with specific ciphers and encryption procedures that are suitable for constrained devices.

Are we close to hitting peak confusion regarding containers? Are we in the middle of a container war? Does anyone really know how to build a cloud native computing architecture? What does it mean to be cloud native?

The questions are many as we build a new computing paradigm for enterprises and service providers. With every answer we provide to the big challenges cloud operators and application developers face, three more are raised.

In this presentation, Chris Aniszczyk – COO of Cloud Native Computing Foundation and Executive Director of Open Container Initiative – will discuss the lessons we have learned with containers so far, including how Google (and quite a few other companies) have been developing and using containers to manage applications for over decade. His session will address the old world of node first development vs. the new world of cloud native computing; properties of a cloud native computing architecture – container packaged, dynamically managed and micro-services oriented – and the benefits it can provide developers, CIOs and end users. Attendees will hear examples of open source projects, like Fluentd and gRPC, that have strong commercial adoption, what to do with the containers once they are standardized, and different adoption paths a company can take to become cloud native.

OpenStack, as the NFVI and VIM, serves as a widely used cloud platform for building telecom and NFV systems.

The software is developed and delivered by a large open source community with a six month release cadence. The latest Ocata version was released the end of February and the next (sixteenth) release Pike is under development, while the community is begins  planning for the following release, Queen, at the Forum at the OpenStack Summit in Boston in May. Throughout all cycles, the contributors work on both adding new features and stabilizing the platform itself.

During this session we will highlight the recently added features and evolution of OpenStack Networking including those in the Neutron service as well as in container networking. You will learn more about the roadmap along with how telecoms, open source projects and vendors can use OpenStack’s programmable infrastructure to advance network virtualization.

Join recent Neutron PTL Armando Migliaccio, OpenStack Foundation’s Ildikó Váncsa, and Paul Carver, AT&T for this detailed roadmap session covering Neutron and its plug-ins and sub-projects, containers for control plane and VNFs, container networking (Kuryr), plans for OpenStack in or working with OPNFV, several MANO projects, and more. AT&T, a leading-edge CSP, will share how they successfully leverage the OpenStack community processes, communications, and development tools to turn requirements into plans on the roadmap.

What will I learn from attending this session?

Hear from this exciting line-up of speakers to learn about the recent and planned features for OpenStack in the networking space. Find out how to keep up-to-date and how to contribute features important to your business to the platform.

With the booming of Container technology, more and more options are available for enterprise users, like Docker and Kubernetes.

Although Containers provided obvious advantages: simple and faster deployment, portability and lightweight cost. But the networking challenges are significant.

Users need to restructure their network and support container deployment with current cloud framework, like container and VMs.

In this presentation, Dr. Tan will introduce new Open Source container networking solution (iCAN), which provides one management framework to configure container networking through Open/friendly interfaces, a variety of data plane components. 

iCAN can not only simplify  network deployment and management, but also implement flexible mechanism to  validate network Service Level Agreement(SLA), which is important factor for enterprise to deliver successful and stable  service via container native. 

In addition, Dr.Tan will share leanings during solving networking challenges and industry view about next steps for Container base Cloud. Beside above, Dr.Tan will introduce huawei open source plan to inspire container deployment with new iCAN.
