Bring OpenStack & Ceph to the Edge with Control Plane Services Managed by Kubernetes

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

Describes using Kubernetes to deploy and manage OpenStack control plane services at the edge, keeping OpenStack APIs and features while gaining Kubernetes-native HA, scaling and scheduling. Explains an edge design that pairs OpenStack with Ceph as the storage backend, covering deployments, high-level architecture, Glance and Cinder placement and configuration, and how Ceph is distributed, isolated and accessed. Also outlines reusing this solution for enterprise private clouds to provide failure-domain isolation and improved fault tolerance for workloads.
