Disaster Recovery for OpenStack – Ronen Kat, IBM / Ayal Baron, Red Hat
Ensuring the ability to recover technology infrastructure after a disaster is hard. It is hard since it requires geographic distribution, where configuration information and data written in a primary location
is replicated to a data center which will be used for recovery. While disaster recovery (DR) is a critical requirement toward adopting OpenStack for enterprise mission-critical applications, OpenStack is
very immature in this respect. We believe OpenStack should provide a consistent mechanism to abstract the DR support built into many enterprise systems, and higher level automation should be able to easily
configure these mechanisms into a DR solution appropriate for a workload. In this presentation, we will review basic DR concepts, present our OpenStack DR vision, and describe on-going work towards storage replication in OpenStack Cinder.
