KupenStack: Kubernetes based Cloud Native OpenStack
Parth Yadav, Vipin Kumar Rathi

TL;DR
KupenStack introduces a Kubernetes-based, cloud-native approach to deploying and managing OpenStack, automating complex operations and enabling self-healing, scaling, and upgrades without modifying OpenStack code.
Contribution
It presents KupenStack, a novel controller that integrates OpenStack with Kubernetes, providing automated, declarative management and self-healing capabilities for private cloud environments.
Findings
Automates OpenStack deployment and management on Kubernetes.
Enables self-healing and zero-downtime operations.
Provides OpenStack as a service through code.
Abstract
OpenStack is an open-source private cloud used to run VMs and its related cloud services. OpenStack deployment, management, and upgradation require lots of efforts and manual troubleshooting. Also, workloads and services offered by OpenStack cannot self-heal itself on failures. We present KupenStack, a Cloud-Native OpenStack as Code model built on top of Kubernetes stack as Custom Resources. KupenStack is a controller that interacts between Kubernetes and OpenStack and automates complex operations like scaling, LCM, zero-downtime, self-healing, version upgrades, configuration management, and offers OpenStack as a service through code. KupenStack builds cloud-native values like immutable infrastructure, declarative APIs for OpenStack without changing any OpenStack code. If a VM workload goes down for some reason, then KupenStack handles it and automatically spins up a new instance.…
