挑战
Yahoo! JAPAN was looking to automate the deployment of network services at scale in a private cloud using the OpenStack framework. They wanted to maintain dynamic control of network operations for a large-scale private cloud and enable administrators to manage load balancing resources while abstracting the operational requirements for users. The existing LBaaS functionality in OpenStack was limited to host-based load balancing via HAProxy and did not support third-party vendor plugins. As a result, the base implementation of OpenStack was not able to satisfy Yahoo! JAPAN’s immediate requirement to support a large-scale multitenant environment.
关于客户
Yahoo! JAPAN is a leading internet company in Japan that provides a wide range of services, including a search engine, news, mail, and e-commerce. In 2013, the company adopted OpenStack cloud infrastructure software to standardize the administration of data center resources and streamline IT operations. As an open source framework, OpenStack is an ideal model for automating the orchestration of the company’s private cloud environment, allowing Yahoo! JAPAN to design the desired control into its cloud management platform. By building an OpenStack-based private cloud, Yahoo! JAPAN created an environment that allows administrators to manage operations from the OpenStack Dashboard, while allowing application developers to more effectively utilize system resources using the Web-based interface on their own.
解决方案
To enable Load Balancing as a Service (LBaaS), Yahoo! JAPAN deployed the OpenStack-enabled Brocade® ADX® Plugin, with an extension for Layer 3 Direct Server Return (L3 DSR) to automate the deployment of load balancing services at scale within multitenant environments. The solution provides a simple administrator and (developer) tenant portal through the OpenStack Dashboard User Interface (UI) to manage application delivery resources. It allows for specific role-based views to provision and create load balancing services based on relevant parameters such as Virtual IPs (VIPs), real servers, subnets, health monitoring options, high-availability options, and network deployment types. The Brocade ADX driver implements device management components, complete with device inventory and high-availability functionality, for Yahoo! JAPAN’s OpenStack cloud.

Vodafone Hosted On AWS
Vodafone found that traffic for the applications peak during the four-month period when the international cricket season is at its height in Australia. During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
