Joyent Smart Architecture for Cloud Computing RC1
The Joyent Smart Technologies Architecture for Cloud Computing A Joyent White Paper Executive Summary The term cloud computing encompasses many different types of services. Therefore, evaluating business needs carefully before choosing a cloud vendor is imperative. Software-, platform-, and infrastructure-as- service vendors differ not only in the type of products they offer but also in the type of architecture their cloud incorporates. This paper examines the broad architectural differences in cloud computing products, the drawbacks to more generic approaches in cloud delivery, and the Joyent philosophy of constructing cloud computing infrastructures. The paper then describes the Joyent Smart Technologies cloud architecture from server and operating system through data center and software development platform. 1 Contents Introduction!3 Not All Clouds Deliver the Same Service (….nor should they)!3 Software as a Service!3 Platform as a Service!4 Infrastructure as a Service!5 Limitations of Common Cloud Infrastructures!5 Public, Private, and Hybrid Clouds!7 The Joyent Cloud Philosophy!8 Joyent Smart Technologies Architecture Overview!9 SmartMachine!10 SmartDataCenter!13 SmartPlatform!15 Joyent Cloud Products at Work!17 Joyent Application Hosting!17 Joyent PaaS!17 Joyent IaaS!17 Conclusion!18 References!19 2 Introduction In the past three years, the term cloud computing has become increasingly elastic. Developers, industry analysts, and customers have all stretched and morphed the deﬁnition of the term to encompass a broad range of technologies and products. While an expanding market offers businesses more choice, it also complicates the rational analysis of the underlying technologies. For this reason, companies evaluating potential cloud computing infrastructures should take a pragmatic, business-minded approach in evaluating competing cloud computing infrastructures.

The Rise & Development of Illumos
Fork Yeah! The Rise & Development of illumos Bryan Cantrill VP, Engineering [email protected] @bcantrill WTF is illumos? • An open source descendant of OpenSolaris • ...which itself was a branch of Solaris Nevada • ...which was the name of the release after Solaris 10 • ...and was open but is now closed • ...and is itself a descendant of Solaris 2.x • ...but it can all be called “SunOS 5.x” • ...but not “SunOS 4.x” — thatʼs different • Letʼs start at (or rather, near) the beginning... SunOS: A peopleʼs history • In the early 1990s, after a painful transition to Solaris, much of the SunOS 4.x engineering talent had left • Problems compounded by the adoption of an immature SCM, the Network Software Environment (NSE) • The engineers revolted: Larry McVoy developed a much simpler variant of NSE called NSElite (ancestor to git) • Using NSElite (and later, TeamWare), Roger Faulkner, Tim Marsland, Joe Kowalski and Jeff Bonwick led a sufﬁciently parallelized development effort to produce Solaris 2.3, “the ﬁrst version that worked” • ...but with Solaris 2.4, management took over day-to- day operations of the release, and quality slipped again Solaris 2.5: Do or die • Solaris 2.5 absolutely had to get it right — Sun had new hardware, the UltraSPARC-I, that depended on it • To assure quality, the engineers “took over,” with Bonwick installed as the gatekeeper • Bonwick granted authority to “rip it out if itʼs broken" — an early BDFL model, and a template for later generations of engineering leadership • Solaris 2.5 shipped on schedule and at quality

Porting Bhyve to Smartos
Porting bhyve to SmartOS Patrick Mooney Software Engineer @ Joyent bhyvecon Ottawa 2019 Background on SmartOS ● Downstream from illumos (OpenSolaris lineage) ● Designed for production workloads in the datacenter ● Tenants: native zones, LX zones, hardware virtualization ● Basis for Joyent Triton (and Joyent Manta) History of KVM in SmartOS ● Ported Linux KVM to SmartOS beginning in 2010/2011 ● Both KVM and qemu are kept out-of-tree ● Effectively forked as of 2012 ○ Limited platform (Intel + EPT only) ○ Limited features (no pci-passthru, slow virtio-net) ○ Minor bug ﬁxes as required Rationale for porting bhyve ● More focused scope ● Tighter integration with OS (being in-tree) ● Community participation ● Features (pci-passthru, CPU capabilities, etc) Code from Pluribus ● Received in late Sept. 2017 ● Consisted of bhyve circa 2013 (with a mix of patches) ○ Built-in EPT (prior to vmspace-driven approach) ○ SMP support, but never started additional CPUs ○ Accelerated virtio-net (viona), non-functional ○ Not targeted for recent illumos ● Booting Linux guest by mid Oct. 2017 Update to “modern” bhyve ● Targeted FreeBSD 11.1 bhyve as upstream ● Wholesale copy-over or walking commits forward to sync ● Needed new EPT implementation conforming to vmspace interface ● Semi-functional by late Nov. 2017 ● Relying on ueﬁ ROM for boot Stabilization ● Zones integration ● Coexistence (read: exclusion) with KVM ● Merged into illumos-joyent#master late Feb. 2018 ● Testing pci-passthru with GPGPU ● Update guest images for bhyve/KVM ● Help guest memory allocation

Bhyve Zones in Smartos
bhyve zones in SmartOS March 2018 development status Written by Mike Gerdts Presentation by Sam Gwydir The Joyent bhyve-on-SmartOS Team • Patrick Mooney – vmm, other kernel stuff, viona • Hans Rosenfeld • Them, and… – Initial user space work, PCI passthrough – Pluribus, who did • Mike Gerdts the initial port – Zones integration – Lots of others that • Jerry Jelinek have helped debug – Lots of fixes all over the place and pound on development bits • John Levon – Yet more fixes March 5, 2018 bhyve zones in SmartOS 2 Why bhyve? March 5, 2018 bhyve zones in SmartOS 3 Timeline - September 2018 - Obtained Pluribus’ bhyve/illumos port - February 2018 - Passthru Support (GPU and NICs tested) - zhyve zone - vmadm integration 4 Difficulties - The current vmm depends on a bunch of FreeBSD abstractions and thus requires a glue layer - The core of bhyve is polished, but outer layers tend to make more assumptions 5 Added Features - An API for registering external drivers - e.g. viona (network driver) can register a callback for notifications so traps outside kernel aren’t required, cutting down on syscalls. 6 Wants - Dynamic allocation for vcpu-related structures - Need support for 64 and 128 VCPUs - Testing 7 Differences - SmartOS does not have nmdm, we need more flexibility with use of UNIX domain sockets to connect to LPC COM devices - UEFI EDK2 extended write support - SmartOS/bhyve only uses UEFI-CSM 8 Why in a zone? • Convenient way to configure virtual resources, resource controls, and reduced privileges • Defense in depth – Anti-spoofing – Escape bhyve into reduced privilege container with small attack surface • Integrated with core OS features • Higher-level tools already work Very basic script to start bhyve, but no well with zones integration with boot, resource controls, security isolation, etc.
