OpenStack Summit May 2014 Atlanta

OpenStack Cloud and virtualization go hand in hand. Multi-tenancy and virtual machine mobility enhance resource utilization and availability, but pose challenges to traditional security architectures and regulatory compliance best practices. In this session, the impact of virtualization on perimeter and host-based security will be discussed, followed by how OpenStack and Contrail bridge virtualization and security through dynamic service provisioning of perimeter-based security solutions and integration of host-based security solutions into Contrail vRouter running along with KVM hypervisor. We will then get into the hands-on session to allow our audience to spin up an anti-DDoS service and/or Firewall service to see virtualized security service in action.
