SuperVessel Cloud
•  Public cloud built on the POWER7/POWER8 servers with OpenStack •  It provides free access for students, researchers, developers across the world, and helps grow OpenPOWER ecosystem (used in 30+ universiNes now) •  It provides advanced technology services such as Spark as a Service, Docker Services, CogniNve CompuNng Service, IoT Service, Accelerator as a Service (FPGA and GPU) 4/18/15

2  Spark as a Service
Try it at: www.ptopenlab.com
3 steps to launch a Spark cluster, easy!
Step 1: Login

Step 3: Ready!
3  Why OpenStack?
•  Most popular IaaS soXware •  Supports Docker* •  Heat can orchestra docker containers easily – good for provision a Spark cluster Picture source: h-p://www.qyjohn.net/?p=3801

4  Why Docker?
•  Less resource consumpNon than KVM –  We can provision more Spark clusters! •  Boot faster than KVM –  Users like fast provision! •  Incrementally build, revert and reuse your container –  We love Git and AUFS! •  However, Docker is not officially supported in OpenStack yet –  Nova Docker is an external component of OpenStack •  Port Docker to POWER Architecture (ppc64 and ppc64le) –  Ubuntu 15.04 includes Docker for POWER8 ppc64le

5  Why Spark?
•  Fast •  Unified •  Ecosystem PorNng to POWER –  Bugfix submieed to the community –  Spark 1.3 works smoothly! J 4/18/15

6  Why not Sahara?
Sahara is a component for Hadoop/Spark as a Service in OpenStack
•  We started from OpenStack Icehouse … •  DockerizaNon –  Beeer service deployment and isolaNon for Big Data dashboard server •  CustomizaNon –  WaiNng for Sahara’s improvements is somehow *SLOW* •  Docker, user analyNcs, Spark 1.4, Spark IDE, scheduling, data visualizaNon etc. 4/18/15

8  Dockerize everything!
•  We use containers to –  run applica<ons –  run other containers –  run OpenStack python daemons –  run OpenStack services inside OpenStack (with a special trunk link in neutron/OVS) –  run OpenStack inside OpenStack •  Good for mulN-­‐site expansion 4/18/15

9  Heat template design
Heat is a component for orchestration in OpenStack
•  Parameters –  Cinder/Malina/Neutron uuid –  Size of Cinder/Malina resources •  Resources –  Master/slave node –  Neutron –  Cinder/Manila •  Need to modify nova-­‐docker to mount the cinder/
manila resources when booNng the docker container 4/18/15

10  Spark Docker Image
•  Built from Ubuntu 14.04.1 •  All Spark nodes use the same image, with different iniNalizaNon scripts by using cloudinit •  IniNalizaNon scripts will –  Sync /etc/hosts across all nodes –  Set HDFS and Spark configuraNons accordingly –  Format HDFS and launch HDFS –  Launch Spark

11  Big Data Dashboard Development
•  2 Developers (frond end + backend) –  Online in 2 months –  Separates Heat related stuff and Dashboard –  Reskul API (for billing and authenNcaNon etc) –  Dockerize the big data dashboard server –  Separates development and producNon environment

HEAT will orchestrate docker instances, subnet and data folder based on user’s request Manila provides the NFS service using GPFS as backend, and the folder will be mounted via nova-­‐docker (with -­‐v support) Folder created by Manila could be accessed by the KVM/docker instances created for big data and other purpose IBM Research -­‐ China

14  Summary
•  Spark + OpenStack + Docker works very well on OpenPOWER servers •  Dockerized services made DevOps easier •  Docker issues –  Zombie process –  Can’t dynamically aeach volume –  Commit, aeach operaNons is not supported on Nova-­‐docker •  Monitoring everything (API, resources etc) –  key for operaNng a cloud •  TODO: Spark 1.4, Spark IDE, SWIFT, Data VisualizaNon 4/18/15
