7.7 VMware Integrated OpenStack

VMware Integrated OpenStack is a VMware supported OpenStack distribution, which is the fastest and most reliable route to running a production-grade OpenStack environment.

VMware Integrated OpenStack builds on your existing vSphere SDDC environments. It is a full OpenStack distribution, which has the OpenStack source codes optimized and hardened to run on VMware technologies and includes drivers for VMware technologies. VMware also provides OpenStack-aware cloud management platform integration such as vRealize Operations Management Pack for OpenStack and VMware vRealize Log Insight™ Content Pack for OpenStack, simplifying monitoring, troubleshooting, and business visibility for your OpenStack clouds.

This is a fully validated architecture that is tested and supported for vSAN and VMware provides a single support contact for the entire infrastructure including supporting the OpenStack open source code. VMware Integrated OpenStack is available for use by VMware Cloud Providers.

Future releases of VMware Integrated OpenStack will be available regularly to stay in sync with the new open source OpenStack community versions. Similarly, VMware plans to continue to update VMware Integrated OpenStack to incorporate additional VMware SDDC functionality made available through new releases of products such as vSphere, VMware NSX, and vSAN.
