Integration of Tungsten Fabric with OpenStack
Channel: OpenInfra Foundation
Date: 05/12/2019

Tungsten Fabric and OpenStack communities are working together to solve multi-vendor cloud-native use cases. In this talk, Sukhdev Kapur and Krzysztof Kajkowski will show a demo of the interworking, multi-vendor architecture based upon Tungsten Fabric and the OpenStack environment. The solution is based on OpenStack’s ML2 framework which allows multiple network layer 2 drivers to be used simultaneously. Because of this, it’s possible to use not only Tungsten Fabric but also any other ML2-based SDN driver at the same time. The demo will show the integration of Tungsten Fabric with SR-IOV to address low latency and high throughput requirements. The approach allows for centralized management and orchestration, reusing security policies.
