01 - El Comienzo: Bienvenidos a la Nube Pública de OASIX

Introduction to Oasix Public Cloud Services

Overview of Digital Transformation Needs

• The introduction emphasizes the necessity for a technological infrastructure that not only supports but also drives business innovation, moving away from traditional hardware-based systems.

• Traditional infrastructures are described as bottlenecks due to their reliance on physical hardware and complex management processes.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

• IaaS is introduced as a game-changing paradigm that abstracts computing, networking, and storage resources from underlying hardware, allowing for programmable and elastic service consumption.

• Oasix's public cloud is built on OpenStack, an open-source cloud operating system designed to provide power, control, and agility.

Key Components of OpenStack

• OpenStack consists of several key services:

• Keystone: Manages authentication and identity.

• Nova: The compute engine managing virtual machine lifecycles.

• Glance: Provides the catalog of operating system images.

• Neutron: Offers virtual networking functionalities.

• Cinder: Handles persistent block storage.

SOAX Management Platform

• SOAX is introduced as Oasix's cloud management platform that simplifies interaction with OpenStack’s API through an intuitive interface supporting multi-tenancy.

• It allows users to manage resource lifecycles visually via a graphical topology panel where components can be dragged and dropped easily.

User Experience with SOAX

• The design philosophy focuses on simplifying complexity; users can create networks intuitively by drawing connections between machines and adding components like routers visually.

• Security features are managed graphically by applying security groups to instances like protective layers over resources.

Advanced Features of SOAX

High Performance Computing Options

• Beyond standard virtual instances, SOAX provides high-performance computing options for demanding workloads including bare metal servers via OpenStack's Ironic service.

• Users can opt for ephemeral instances with ultra-low latency NVMe local storage or GPU-enabled virtualized bare metal servers for AI and graphics rendering tasks.

Governance and Cost Optimization Tools

• SOAX includes advanced monitoring tools offering real-time performance metrics for virtual machines alongside economic optimization features to analyze consumption patterns effectively.

• A comprehensive cost control system helps in budget generation to prevent overspending while providing white-label functionality for partners to offer services under their brand identity.

Integration with Industry Solutions

Extending Capabilities with Partner Solutions

• Oasix enhances its offerings by integrating solutions from leading industry partners, enabling enterprise-level services directly within the ecosystem.

• Backup strategies utilize Convt technology for data protection while Gistas facilitates infrastructure migration strategies.

Cloud Services Overview

Infrastructure and Storage Solutions

• Oasix offers a Direct Connect service for integrating offices with cloud infrastructure, alongside an S3-compatible object storage service ideal for unstructured data, backups, or static content.

• Managed Kubernetes clusters can be deployed via Magnum to orchestrate containers natively. The Trobe service allows provisioning and management of relational databases as a service without infrastructure concerns.

• Network file storage is available through the NFS service based on Manila, enabling efficient traffic distribution for applications using managed load balancers powered by Octavia.

• SOAX serves as a centralized platform for management, orchestration, and control, featuring tools like visual designers and advanced monitoring capabilities integrated with top-tier technology partners.

• The introduction sets the theoretical foundation; upcoming videos will delve into each component of the SOAX platform in detail to empower users with comprehensive knowledge for building solutions.
