CNM Cloud requirements is a set of detailed requirements for CNM Cloud. This document has been drafted to assist cloud developers to come up with detailed implementation of enterprise private cloud with an objective to host BigBlueButton, Moodle, MediaWiki, Odoo, and Redmine end-user software applications. Each of these application shall serve more than 100 users with a peak load capacity of 20 simultaneous users. The requirements have been drafted keeping in mind that users of above applications would require an uninterrupted very high availability.

The target audience for this document is cloud architects, DevOps engineers and system administrators.


Block storage

Block Storage Objectives

  1. Capacity requirement of 2T
  2. A peak speed of 110Mbps of data transfer
  3. A peak speed of 15-20Mbps of data transfer rate with about 20 parallel transfers
  4. 3x Data redundancy
  5. Super scalability
  6. Uniform load distribution
  7. Shall be consumed by VMs and Containers
  8. Shall be consumed by applications
  9. Shall be consumed by OpenStack
  10. An acceptable latency

Storage Requirements

  1. Distributed striped GlusterFS volume shall be implemented for data redundancy, load balancing and scalability
  2. GlusterFS shall be implemented for serving block storage
  3. System should be implemented with at least three or more stripes.
  4. A minimum of three bare metal servers shall be used to implement GlusterFS.
  5. Each of the node shall have at least 3 SSD drives each with capacity of 1TBx2 terabytes and 125GBx1.
  6. Hardware configuration for each node shall be, a minimum of 4GB RAM, 2 or more CPU Cores, 1+ GBE x 2 Network adapters.

Object storage

Object Storage Objectives

  1. Capacity requirement of 3T
  2. A peak speed of 110Mbps of data transfer
  3. A peak speed of 15-20Mbps of data transfer rate with about 20 parallel transfers
  4. 2x data redundancy
  5. Super scalability
  6. Shall host Images, Backups and Snapshots
  7. Shall host Docker Registry

Object Storage Requirements

  1. Distributed OpenStack swift object volume shall be implemented for data redundancy, load balancing and scalability
  2. Swift object shall be implemented for serving Block storage
  3. A minimum of three bare metal servers shall be used to implement Swift.
  4. Each of the node shall have at least 3 SATA/SCSI drives each with capacity of 1TBx2 terabytes and 125GBx1.
  5. Hardware configuration for each node shall be, a minimum of 4GB RAM, 2 or more CPU Cores, 1+ GBE x 2 Network adapters.
  6. The management network shall be separate from data for replications
  7. The OpenStack controller cluster shall be used to authenticate and authorise the usage of object storage.
  8. Possibility of using data and management network separate

BigBlueButton

BigBlueButton Specific Objectives

  1. This cluster should be built using bare metals.

  3. Big blue button should be specifically implemented on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit OS
  4. $A minimum of 500G of GlusterFS storage shall be made available to the cluster
  5. 80Mbps symmetrical data transfer rate shall be made available to the cluster.

Container/Magnum Cluster Requirements

  1. A two node cluster shall be implemented to host Dockers
  2. Hardware configuration for each node shall be, a minimum of 32GB RAM, 4 or more CPU Cores, 1+ GBE x 2 Network adapters.
  3. A best possible OS shall be chosen to implement this cluster, to accommodate maximum number of applications.
  4. At a minimum of ten applications shall run simultaneously.
  5. A minimum of 300G of GlusterFS storage shall be reserved for use by Containers
