Open Source Summit + ELC North America 2020

Arm64 is becoming a very emerging architecture in the enterprise market. More and more developers want to try the Arm64 with Kubernetes, but there is no good choice for them to get the proper resources. Besides, there are no totally Open source cloud solutions for Cloud Operators.

Linaro Developer Cloud is a purely open-source cloud on Arm64, which can offer Kubernetes service for developers who are interested in arm ecosystem. It uses OpenStack as infrastructure, Ceph as the storage, and Kubernetes is an overlay service on top of them. Besides, the Kubernetes cluster leverages the capability of authentication, storage and load balanced by Kubernetes cloud provider of OpenStack. Everything happens on Arm64.

In this session, we will elaborate on the structure of the arm64 open-source cloud. We will cover the efforts to support Kubernetes as a service both from the infrastructure level(OpenStack LB service and Cluster provisioning service) and Kubernetes cloud provider side. We will also show a demo of it. This open-source cloud will be a good template for Arm64 to achieve its first-class citizen in the cloud-native area.
