Zhiyuan Cai mainly focuses on OpenStack community contribution after join Huawei in 2014. He used to work in project like Neutron, Keystone and OpenStack Client, now pays more effort on Tricircle, which aims to provide OpenStack API gateway and networking automation to scale OpenStack. In 2015 he worked with engineers from NEC together to run a demo which utilizes Tricircle to deploy web services with a database cluster backend across China and Japan.
Massive distributed edge cloud, large scale cloud and hybrid cloud scenarios bring new requirements to OpenStack deployment. Tricircle is an OpenStack project aiming to tackle the above use cases by providing OpenStack API gateway and networking automation. As OpenStack is evolving to support container technology, Kuryr is a Docker network plug-in that uses Neutron to provide networking services to Docker container, Fuxi project Enables Docker container to use Cinder volume and Manila share. In this presentation, we will discuss the use cases and motivation of Tricircle project, and also cover the technical details of Tricircle project. Also we show how to utilize Kuryr and Fuxi to unify VM and container networks, persistent storages to make containers to be “first class citizens”of OpenStack.
