Unveiling CERN Cloud Architecture

 

Unveiling CERN Cloud Architecture

CERN, the European Laboratory for particle physics, is running OpenStack for its private 
Could Infrastructure among other leading open source tools that helps thousands of scientists
around the world to uncover the mysteries of the Universe. 

In 2012, CERN started the deployment of its private Cloud Infrastructure using OpenStack. Since then
we moved from few hundred cores to a multi-cell deployment spread between two data centers running 
on more than 130k cores with multiple hypervisor technologies.  After 3 years learning how deploy and manage OpenStack at scale, we now look back and discuss the problems and challenges that we overcome/face and give you some tips and tricks that can help you manage and scale your OpenStack Cloud.  

With this talk you will learn the history, architecture, tools and technical decisions behind 
the CERN Cloud Infrastructure.
