      Alessandro is CTO of Cloudbase Solutions, a company focused on cloud      computing interoperability and the main contributor of all the OpenStack      Windows and Hyper-V components in Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Ceilometer and      Heat since the Folsom release.  Alin is a developer at Cloudbase who      describes himself as an Open Source enthusiast and a passionate Python      developer at heart.           Slides for this talk are available in PDF      format.           This episode is a talk that Alessandro and Alin gave at OpenStack Boston      during the Open vSwitch Open Source Day on May 10, with the following      abstract:              Current Windows datapath development aids users and simplifies        networking deployments. One of the improvements brings Linux Bridges        (OVS bridges) mentality under Windows. Recent development also allows        for OVN to work together with the Windows datapath. This session will        cover how it can be achieved on Windows under Hyper-V as well. Among        other topics, we will cover how to set up OVN using DevStack and add a        Windows node and how to debug Windows-specific problems, with a demo.               In addition, one of the recent and interesting integration of OVN is        Kubernetes. This helps users to deploy containers over both public and        private clouds. Cloudbase Solutions recently added a PoC (proof of        concept) integration for Windows. This allows Windows workloads to be        deployed under the same cluster. We will emphasize on the advantages        that can be achieved using this type of approach. We will explain how        to set up an environment including a Windows node and play a        prerecorded demo.              The demos may be of less interest than the rest of the talk because no      video is available.  If you want to skip over them, they run from 8:27 to      13:06 and from 20:56 to 28:03.           Alessandro previously appeared on OVS Orbit way back in Episode 1: Porting OVS to Hyper-V.           OVS Orbit is produced by Ben Pfaff.

Highlights and topics in this episode include:  An overview of what Cloudbase does and what it works on in OpenStack. Why Cloudbase started their Open vSwitch port to Hyper-V. History of the VMware and Cloudbase ports to Hyper-V and how they    were merged into upstream Open vSwitch. Alessandro's thoughts on how to favoring a user experience familiar to    Windows admins versus one familiar to user who know Open vSwitch from    other platforms. Perspectives on collaboration in the Hyper-V port development. The native Hyper-V switch versus Open vSwitch. Ben's anecdote about a surprising conference call with Microsoft    back in 2011. Alessandro educates Ben about Ubuntu on Windows How port names are handled in Windows. Status of the Hyper-V port and how it's being used Upcoming features for the Hyper-V port, such as connection tracking bsed    firewalling ("conntrack"). OVN on Hyper-V. Alessandro's role as CEO at Cloudbase and how he gets involved in the    technical side of projects. How Cloudbase attracts employees, via internships from local universities. Continuous integration for OpenStack on Hyper-V. Special challenges of projects with a kernel component.      OVS Orbit is produced by Ben Pfaff.
