Intro: SDN Controllers

INTRO: SDN CONTROLLERS

Abstract underlying physical network

INTRO: SDN CONTROLLERS

Allow programmability of network

INTRO: SDN CONTROLLERS

Northbound API for apps to consume controller

INTRO: SDN CONTROLLERS

Controller presents virtualized network to apps

Example: OpenStack

INTRO: SDN CONTROLLERS

Solid abstractions -> huge win

(as with all Software Engineering)

INTRO: SDN CONTROLLERS

Standard APIs give investment protection to apps

INTRO: SDN CONTROLLERS

API standardization via spec has issues

(slow, vendor-dominated, details inconsistent)

INTRO: SDN CONTROLLERS

ODL standardizes based on common implementation

INTRO: SDN CONTROLLERS

Many vendors contribute to shared implementation

INTRO: SDN CONTROLLERS

Each builds value around it

INTRO: SDN CONTROLLERs

Ignoring many other interesting use-cases

(IoT, power grids, ...)

Open Source

OPEN SOURCE

OpenDaylight is open source

OPEN SOURCE

More than a license, mostly community

Types of Open Source Communities

TYPES OF OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITIES

Loosely Aligned

TYPES OF OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITIES

Vendor Dominated

TYPES OF OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITIES

Foundation Manged

Open Source: Loosely Aligned

OPEN SOURCE: Loosely Aligned

Most common

OPEN SOURCE: Loosely Aligned

Rarely become popular

OPEN SOURCE: LOOSELY ALIGNED

Some miraculous successes

(Linux, GNU tools...)

OPEN SOURCE: LOOSELY ALIGNED

Some transition into Foundation Managed

OPEN SOURCE: Vendor Dominated

OPEN SOURCE: VENDOR DOMINATED

Dominated by a single vendor

OPEN SOURCE: VENDOR DOMINATED

Vendor may control committs

OPEN SOURCE: VENDOR DOMINATED

Juniper: Open Contrail

Big Switch: Floodlight

Oracle: Java

Oracle: MySQL

OPEN SOURCE: Foundation Manged

OPEN SOURCE:Foundation Manged

Product-neutral, vendor-neutral

OPEN SOURCE: Foundation Manged

Normally comprised of many vendors

OPEN SOURCE: FOUNDATION MANGED

Widely considered the "best" type

OPEN SOURCE: FOUNDATION MANGED

Examples: OpenStack, OpenDaylight, Apache

OpenDaylight GOVERNANCE

LINUX FOUNDATION

Provides infrastructure

(Gerrit, Jenkins, Nexus, Bugzilla, mailing lists...)

LINUX FOUNDATION

Organizes events

(Dev Design Forum, Summit, Mini-Summits)

Hands-on

HANDS-ON

Easy deployment options for new users

HANDS-ON

Vagrant base box, Docker image

Title

VAGRANT BASE BOX

Vagrant Base Box

[~/sandbox]$ vagrant init -m opendaylight/odl
[~/sandbox]$ cat Vagrantfile
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  config.vm.box = "opendaylight/odl"
end

Vagrant Base Box

[~/sandbox]$ vagrant up

Vagrant Base Box

default: URL: https://atlas.hashicorp.com/opendaylight/odl
==> default: Adding box 'opendaylight/odl' (v4.0.0)

Vagrant Base Box

[~/sandbox]$ vagrant status
Current machine states:

default                   running (libvirt)

Vagrant Base Box

[~/sandbox]$ vagrant ssh

Vagrant Base Box

[vagrant@localhost ~]$ sudo systemctl is-active opendaylight
active

Docker

Example: One-liner Karaf shell

Containers

$ docker run -ti dfarrell07/odl:4.1.0 /opt/opendaylight/bin/karaf
