Abstract [en]
In recent times, there’s been a trend towards setting up smaller clouds at the edge of the network and interconnecting them across multiple sites. In these scenarios, the software used for managing the resources should be flexible enough to scale. Considering OpenStack the most widely used cloud software, It is observed that the compute service has shown performance degradation when the deployment reaches fewer hundreds of nodes. Finding out solutions to address the scalability issue in OpenStack, Ericsson has developed a new architecture that supports massive scalability of OpenStack clouds. However, the challenges with multicloud networking in P2P OpenStack remained unsolved. This thesis work as an extension to Ericsson’s P2P OpenStack project investigates various multi-cloud networking techniques and proposes two decentralized designs for cross Neutron networking in P2P OpenStack. The design-1 is based on OpenStack Tricircle project and design-2 is based on VPNaaS. This thesis work implements VPNaaS design to support the automatic interconnection of Virtual machines that belong to the same user but deployed in different OpenStack clouds. We evaluate this thesis for control plane operation under two different scenarios namely single user case and multiple users cases. In both scenarios, request-response time is chosen as an evaluating parameter. Results show that there is an increase in request-response time when users in the system are increased.
