Apache CloudStack Tearsheet
Hello, everyone --
As part of my working with media/analysts on All Things Apache, and the inclusion of Apache CloudStack to my list of "hot" and newsworthy items, I've created a tearsheet that can be used as a leave behind (digitally or physically) as well as a quick point of reference.
Below is the plaintext version; I'm also happy to forward a Word or ODF or PDF
format to you upon request.
Also, if you are aware of additional users/deployments that are not listed below, do let me know :-)
Thanks in advance for your continued support!

Introducing Apache CloudStack™
The mature, Open Source turnkey software platform used for creating Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud computing in private-, public-, and hybrid cloud environments.
Faster to the Cloud
As organizations move towards cloud computing services to alleviate the burden of managing/maintaining legacy systems, equipment, and networking, many are choosing IaaS solutions to help reduce costs whilst minimizing business layer repercussions. ZDNet projects that enterprises will spend $650M for enterprise public cloud IaaS by 2018.
To facilitate the cloud transition, IaaS combines compute and cloud storage, where the hardware (or virtual machines), computing power, cooling, and networking are outsourced; users of IaaS solutions control the stack required to operate it, such as the operating system, virtual machines, storage, database servers, Web servers, load-balancing, monitoring, reporting, logging, middleware, hardware/software upgrades, patches, security fixes, licensing, etc.
The cloud offers massive computing power. The challenge, however, is that many of today's cloud management platforms are cumbersome and difficult to deploy, making it an often frustrating and resource-intensive investment.
Apache CloudStack is designed to deploy quickly and manage large networks of virtual machines as a highly available, highly scalable cloud computing platform. CloudStack integrates easily with other technologies, and includes the entire "stack" of features most organizations are seeking with an IaaS cloud:
elegant, Java-based framework
compute orchestration
advanced Network-as-a-Service functionality
user and account management
a full and open native API (compatible with Amazon Web Services Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for organizations that wish to deploy hybrid clouds)
resource accounting
choice of first-class User Interface, command line tools, or full-featured RESTful API to delegate and create self-service offerings
scalability (production instances with greater than 40,000 hosts in geographically-distributed environments)
user-led development and deployment documentation
supports the most popular hypervisors (including VMware, KVM, XenServer, Xen Cloud Platform (XCM), and Hyper-V to run the virtual machines as guests)
Apache CloudStack: The Cloud That Just Works!
"CloudStack is gaining better 'real world' adoption … because it's actually usable in its current form without special effort"
–Gartner Group
Apache CloudStack is widely used in production by many service providers to set up on-demand, elastic public cloud computing services, as well as enterprises to set up a private or hybrid cloud for use by their own employees. In addition, CloudStack is available to individuals and organizations that wish to study and implement an IaaS for personal, educational, and/or production use.
Apache CloudStack users power billions of dollars' worth of business transactions annually across their clouds, and benefit from:
- Proven technology –CloudStack is among the earliest IaaS solutions developed, with many long-term, large deployments that prove its stability and scalability
- Stable codebase –the latest release reflects more than 1.5M lines of code from 170 contributors
- Easy deployment –a Fortune 50 multinational had CloudStack up, running, and usable within in a single day, as opposed to weeks using competing IaaS solutions
- Highly scalable –CloudStack’s orchestration platforms have been used to scale to [@@what is the right/best example to use here? Uri Cohen’s 200K concurrent users at peak? Something else?]
- Flexibility –CloudStack is designed to handle the spectrum of application/cloud styles that span "legacy virtualization" through "cloud-native" style workloads, depending on how the cloud operator designs the infrastructure environment(s) and configures CloudStack to offer services
- Reliability –CloudStack accommodates for redundancy and resiliency, providing faster recovery and response time; Europe’s first CloudStack deployment has been running consecutively for over 14 months at 100% uptime
- Robust community –openly developed "The Apache Way", CloudStack is overseen by a diverse, active, meritocratic community
CloudStack originated at Cloud.com, which was acquired by Citrix in 2011. CloudStack was submitted to the Apache Incubator in April 2012 and graduated as an Apache Software Foundation Top-level Project in March 2013.

Posted by Tim Mackey <tm...@gmail.com>.

with the reference to XCP, but I'll update you once I get greater clarity
on what constitutes the "correct" answer.

RE: Apache CloudStack Tearsheet
Posted by "White, Kim" <Ki...@netapp.com>.
On the scalability front, Citrix, Cisco and NetApp have done a Cisco Validate Design (CVD) on CloudPlatform with FlexPod.
http://blogs.citrix.com/2014/03/26/cloudplatform-flexpod/
FYI - FlexPod just passed the $3B sales mark
In the commercial world, we do most of the performance work with commercial platform + application.
This gets published out as CVDs or technical reports.
A point of view - the platform alone really isn't the most interesting thing.
The value lies with what the customers DO with the platform + applications that solve a business problem.
There was lots of traffic about getting to the CIOs and suits earlier this week.
Best chance to get engagement is with compelling stories of business value.
The idea of a CIO roundtable/panel discussion is a good one if you can hook the right people in and make it exclusive.

Not sure whom that is directed, and I'll be the first to say that I'm not sure, and therefore asking for the correct statement.
I'm certainly happier with 42k over 25k and am happy to update! In the tearsheet, I refer to this in the check-mark bullets in the main body:
> [] scalability (production instances with greater than 40,000 hosts in geographically-distributed environments)
So I'll update that to 42,000.
In the "Apache CloudStack: The Cloud That Just Works!" section, the following bullet point is where I'm aiming to make the adjustment:
> - Highly scalable –CloudStack’s orchestration platforms have been used to scale to ...
I don't want to repeat the same information above, and can simply pull the bullet, although I'm reluctant to do so.
I'm pulling together some figures that were sent privately as well and will suggest alternate wording/metrics here.
Cheers & chat soon,
Sally

Sally, please see the other thread where I point Amy to a november 2013 thread that has numbers:
http://markmail.org/thread/5nwfalvwmhzlkpyu
Also check this file:
http://people.apache.org/~sebgoa/cloudstack.kml
Open it in google earth, every yellow pin is a location where cloudstack was downloaded.
Caveat: this does not mean that there is a production cloud at that location, just that an IP in that location (approximately) downloaded the binaries.
Of course, you can get the community analysis from:
http://www.qyjohn.net/?p=3528
I am also working with bitergia on a dashboard:
http://projects.bitergia.com/apache-cloudstack/browser/
Noe that the results are not yet "right" and I need to find time to check all of them….help welcome !!!!
And of course there is Ohloh.

CloudStack is a distributed system, hence it's performance is very ill defined. IMHO trying to compare performance of cloudstack with other similar projects will not make sense.
I am not trying to be a pain on this one, but to define performance you first need to define what you want to measure.

Hello, everyone --I wanted to come back to this, as I'm still unable to obtain specific metrics for CloudStack.
This is very important when pitching to the media and analyst community.
I know that many of you do have statistics on your users and CloudStack's performance.
Per the tearsheet below, in the "Global Footprint" section, I'm still needing data on scalability specifically, and would appreciate any other super-impressive metrics you may have.
Also, understanding that this is a public list, I'm happy to work with you privately under separate cover if you prefer.
Thanking you in advance for your help with this!

Hello, everyone --
As part of my working with media/analysts on All Things Apache, and the inclusion of Apache CloudStack to my list of "hot" and newsworthy items, I've created a tearsheet that can be used as a leave behind (digitally or physically) as well as a quick point of reference.
Below is the plaintext version; I'm also happy to forward a Word or ODF or PDF format to you upon request.
Also, if you are aware of additional users/deployments that are not listed below, do let me know :-)
Thanks in advance for your continued support!

Introducing Apache CloudStack™
The mature, Open Source turnkey software platform used for creating Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud computing in private-, public-, and hybrid cloud environments.
Faster to the Cloud
As organizations move towards cloud computing services to alleviate the burden of managing/maintaining legacy systems, equipment, and networking, many are choosing IaaS solutions to help reduce costs whilst minimizing business layer repercussions. ZDNet projects that enterprises will spend $650M for enterprise public cloud IaaS by 2018.
To facilitate the cloud transition, IaaS combines compute and cloud storage, where the hardware (or virtual machines), computing power, cooling, and networking are outsourced; users of IaaS solutions control the stack required to operate it, such as the operating system, virtual machines, storage, database servers, Web servers, load-balancing, monitoring, reporting, logging, middleware, hardware/software upgrades, patches, security fixes, licensing, etc.
The cloud offers massive computing power. The challenge, however, is that many of today's cloud management platforms are cumbersome and difficult to deploy, making it an often frustrating and resource-intensive investment.
Apache CloudStack is designed to deploy quickly and manage large networks of virtual machines as a highly available, highly scalable cloud computing platform. CloudStack integrates easily with other technologies, and includes the entire "stack" of features most organizations are seeking with an IaaS cloud:
üelegant, Java-based framework
ücompute orchestration
üadvanced Network-as-a-Service functionality
üuser and account management
üa full and open native API (compatible with Amazon Web Services Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for organizations that wish to deploy hybrid clouds)
üresource accounting
üchoice of first-class User Interface, command line tools, or full-featured RESTful API to delegate and create self-service offerings
üscalability (production instances with greater than 40,000 hosts in geographically-distributed environments)
üuser-led development and deployment documentation
üsupports the most popular hypervisors (including VMware, KVM, XenServer, Xen Cloud Platform (XCM), and Hyper-V to run the virtual machines as guests)
Apache CloudStack: The Cloud That Just Works!
"CloudStack is gaining better 'real world' adoption … because it's actually usable in its current form without special effort"
–Gartner Group
Apache CloudStack is widely used in production by many service providers to set up on-demand, elastic public cloud computing services, as well as enterprises to set up a private or hybrid cloud for use by their own employees. In addition, CloudStack is available to individuals and organizations that wish to study and implement an IaaS for personal, educational, and/or production use.
Apache CloudStack users power billions of dollars' worth of business transactions annually across their clouds, and benefit from:
-Proven technology –CloudStack is among the earliest IaaS solutions developed, with many long-term, large deployments that prove its stability and scalability
-Stable codebase –the latest release reflects more than 1.5M lines of code from 170 contributors
-Easy deployment –a Fortune 50 multinational had CloudStack up, running, and usable within in a single day, as opposed to weeks using competing IaaS solutions
-Highly scalable –CloudStack’s orchestration platforms have been used to scale to [@@what is the right/best example to use here? Uri Cohen’s 200K concurrent users at peak? Something else?]
-Flexibility –CloudStack is designed to handle the spectrum of application/cloud styles that span "legacy virtualization" through "cloud-native" style workloads, depending on how the cloud operator designs the infrastructure environment(s) and configures CloudStack to offer services
-Reliability –CloudStack accommodates for redundancy and resiliency, providing faster recovery and response time; Europe’s first CloudStack deployment has been running consecutively for over 14 months at 100% uptime
-Robust community –openly developed "The Apache Way", CloudStack is overseen by a diverse, active, meritocratic community
