Abstract

Construction of multi-site Cloud Infrastructure with OpenStack, the most popular cloud open source project with various ICT infrastructure technologies, has operational inefficiency due to installation complexity and geographical limitation. To address this inefficiency, we gradually developed automated installation/configuration tools to automate installation/configuration of Linux and OpenStack by complying with DevOps methodology over a multi-site OpenStack testbed called OF@KOREN SmartX Playground. However, the pre-developed installation tools can be used only for limited cases. Therefore, we designed and developed a prototype of SmartX Provisioning Framework which could conducts Playground-wide provisioning flexibly by following three steps of resource management in Software-defined Infrastructure. We verified the efficiency of the provisioning functionality of the framework by demonstrating an example of automated multi-site cloud construction.

다양한 ICT 인프라 기술들을 종합적으로 활용하는 클라우드의 대표적인 오픈소스 프로젝트인 오픈스택을 활용하여 멀티사이트 기반의 클라우드 인프라 구축 시 설치 복잡성 및 지리적인 제약으로 인한 인적, 시간적인 비효율성을 내포한다. 이러한 비효율성을 해소하기 위해 멀티사이트 환경의 오픈스택 실증 테스트베드인 OF@KOREN SmartX 놀이터 (Playground)를 대상으로 리눅스 및 오픈스택을 설치/설정을 자동화하는 도구를 데브옵스 (DevOps) 개발 방법론에 따라 점진적으로 개발해왔다. 하지만 이전 개발도구들이 고정된 형태의 프로비저닝만을 제공한다는 한계를 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 소프트웨어 정의 인프라의 자원관리 구도에 따라 자동 설치/설정도구를 엮어 Playground 수준의 프로비저닝을 수행하는 SmartX 프로비저닝 프레임워크의 프로토타입을 설계, 개발한다. 그리고 멀티사이트 오픈스택 클라우드를 자동으로 구축하는 과정을 제시함으로써 프레임워크의 효율적인 놀이터 프로비저닝 기능에 대해 검증한다.
