Majority in DRBD
Philipp Reisner, CEO, LINBIT
LINSTOR/DRBD became a primary storage option for ApacheCloudStack nearly three years ago. In this session, Philipp will share insights about how DRBD avoids split-brain situations. DRBD relies on the principle of quorum, and Philipp will dive into the topic and explain all its interesting aspects. How does it deal with an even number of replicas, what does last-man-standing mean in the context, and how does it recover a primary that lost quorum? The session will also briefly discuss how it interacts with failover in CloudStack and how we could improve that with future development. The session will touch on all the theoretical aspects and also have the necessary configuration snippets relevant to the deployment of LINSTOR/DRBD in the context of ApacheCloudStack.
15:10 - 15:40
Enhancements to CloudStack Kubernetes Service
Pearl Dsilva, Software Engineer, ShapeBlue
With growing popularity of the CloudStack Kubernetes Service, efforts have been made to further improve this plugin and provide more flexibility. As of ACS 4.21, CKS will support deploying clusters with custom templates, with the ability of configuring different offerings and templates for different Kubernetes node types. It will also have support to add external nodes (VMs / bare metal hosts) as worker nodes to a pre-created CKS cluster. To adapt to production standards, CKS will now support unstacked ETCD as well and will also have a CNI plugin framework which will provide users the flexibility to use a CNI of their choice. In this talk, we will also delve into the CloudStack CSI driver and it’s integration with CloudStack.

Evaluating CloudStack Against Other Hypervisors: A Performance Analysis
Daven Winans, VP of Product, US Signal
In the evolving world of virtualization, the need for competitive analysis has never been more urgent. Licensing models and associated costs from most hypervisor providers are shifting, prompting businesses to explore new alternatives that balance performance with economic feasibility.
Through comprehensive performance benchmarking and user testing, this study evaluates CloudStack’s competitiveness within the hypervisor ecosystem, particularly focusing on performance per dollar. For organizations managing virtualized workloads, “performance” is not just a technical requirement but an economic imperative.
In response to these industry shifts, US Signal initiated a research and development project aimed at exploring alternative virtualization solutions to the dominant Broadcom option. The goal for us all is to ensure predictability in both pricing and performance for our users which we will explore in this conversation.
Join Daven Winans, VP of Engineering at US Signal, as he uncovers insights and strategies that can empower you to make more informed decisions about your virtualization infrastructure. Don’t miss this opportunity to see how CloudStack measures up against other hypervisors and how it can elevate your cloud operations.

Integrating Wireguard into CloudStack
Marco Ziglioli, Cloud Architect, CDLAN
Cloudstack currently offers support for road warrior and site2site IPsec VPNs. WireGuard is a modern VPN solution known for its lightweight codebase, cryptographic security, and ease of configuration compared to traditional VPN protocols like IPsec or OpenVPN. Our goal is to generalize the vpn instantiation allowing the possibility to use wireguard instead of IPsec as protocol. By embedding WireGuard into CloudStack, the platform enhances its ability to provide secure and efficient access to cloud resources in isolated networks. This speech examines a possible implementation of WireGuard inside the Virtual Routers and its deployment and configuration through CloudStack.
17:15 - 17:45
Management Server Maintenance in CloudStack
Suresh Kumar Anaparti, Software Engineer, ShapeBlue
In this session, Suresh would brief about a new feature “Support for Management Server Maintenance in CloudStack”, which is set to be included in the upcoming release. This feature enables admins and operators to keep the management server in maintenance mode for patching or to apply any updates. He would also cover how the host agents connect to other available servers while preparing for maintenance, along with the introduction of new APIs.

CDLAN Open to Innovation the Choice Was CloudStack
Marco Ziglioli, Cloud Architect, CDLAN
CDLAN is a Milan based Telecommunications provider in Italy specialized in the B2B market. When we began to look into offering cloud services, we were wary of being locked into a $$Vendor$$ Our choice fell on cloudstack and it is heavily used in our B2B cloud services today. Join us to hear our story on why and how cloudstack has become an integral part of our offering.
10:50 - 11:20
BACKROLL 1.0 is Out!
Matthias Dhellin, Ousmane Diarra, Pierre Charton, DIMSI
Backroll is an open-source backup solution for KVM guests provided by DIMSI. You will hear about the latest news of the project. We will also go through a demo to show you how to set up Backroll, configure your storage and hypervisor in order to backup and restore your VMs. We will also showcase the latest features such as a plugin which integrates Backroll into Apache CloudStack.
11:30 - 12:00
Routed Mode: Static and dynamic routing
Wei Zhou, Software Engineer, ShapeBlue
ACS 4.20 introduces the ROUTED mode for IPv4 networks. In ROUTED mode on isolated networks and VPCs the CloudStack VR no longer provides Source NAT, allowing for end-users to create purely routed networks, significantly improving network bandwidth and potentially allowing for public IPs to be allocated to user VMs without operator intervention. Simple dynamic routing introduces dynamic BGP capabilities to ACS, facilitating the use of ROUTED mode networks by automatically peering BGP sessions with upstream routers, thus removing from the cloud provider the onerous task of setting static routes on upstream routers.
12:10 - 12:40
External Deployment Integration in CloudStack
Harikrishna and Alexandre Mattioli, ShapeBlue
The CloudStack external deployment integration enables the deployment and management of external workloads such as baremetal servers, non-ACS VMs, and SaaS stacks directly from Apache CloudStack (ACS). This talk will explore the design, development, and practical utilization of the framework, showcasing its capabilities in managing diverse infrastructure and simplifying multi-environment operations. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how this integration enhances the flexibility and scope of ACS. This framework is set to be released with Apache CloudStack 4.21.
Cloud Monkey Hall
09:30 - 10:00
GPU as a first class feature in CloudStack
Vishesh Jindal, Software Engineer, ShapeBlue
With the rise of AI, VDI, cryptocurrency mining, simulations, and advanced graphics processing, the demand for GPU resources has surged dramatically. However, Apache CloudStack currently lacks first-class support for GPUs. This talk will cover the current state of GPU support in CloudStack, the challenges of managing GPU resources, and proposes a feature design to make GPU a first-class CloudStack resource. Attendees will gain insights into the technical hurdles and potential solutions to bring seamless GPU support into their IaaS platform.
10:10 - 10:40
Snapshot Copy Using Primary Storage
Nikolay Tenev, Solutions Architect, StorPool
Apache CloudStack 4.19 introduced a new feature called “Snapshot Copy.” It allows you to take a snapshot of a volume in one zone and copy it to another and can be employed in Disaster Recovery scenarios. The implementation depends on the secondary storage and secondary storage VM to copy the snapshots between the zones. This is good for infrequent snapshot copies, but it can become a problem when a large number of snapshots have to be regularly copied. To solve this, we added a new feature, “Snapshot Copy Using Primary Storage”. It optimizes the dataflow and improves efficiency and capacity by offloading the copy operation to the primary storage. Join us as we’ll discuss how it works and the specifics of the process. If you are planning to implement disaster recovery to your cloud services or want to implement this feature to different storage plugins you don’t want to miss this one.
10:50 - 11:20
Shared FileSystem as a First Class Feature
Abhisar Sinha, Software Engineer, ShapeBlue
