Archiving OpenStack Cloud Volumes
Creators
- 1. CERN openlab Summer Student
- 2. Summer Student Supervisor
Description
Project Specification
CERN runs a large scale OpenStack based cloud on over 4,200 hypervisors to provide computing resources for users on demand. Critical application data can be stored on reliable disk volumes.
The project would involve investigation of solutions for long term archiving of contents and defining the necessary large scale deployment tools using Puppet along with performance tuning for production usage.
The student will gain understanding of cloud technologies, experience with OpenStack and Puppet along with storage technologies such as Ceph and TSM.
The work would also involve collaboration with large open source communities.
Abstract
This report is a summary of solutions for archivation of Cinder volumes and user-driven creation of virtual volumes backups. Solutions are based and evaluated on current CERN private cloud status and currently used environments and tools.
The explored solutions include use of TSM - tape storage and two different clusters of Ceph in two different geographical locations(Meyrin and Wigner).
