SDN Options in Apache CloudStack

on YouTube ↗22m

" summary

Apache CloudStack supports two SDN integrations with concrete behaviors and limits: NSX maps CloudStack zones to Transport Zones and implements Tier‑0/Tier‑1 gateways, enabling distributed east‑west routing so throughput jumps from ~3–4 Gbps via the vrouter to 20–30 Gbps with distributed NSX forwarding; Tungsten Fabric / OpenSDN (integration in 4.18, NSX support landing around 4.20) runs as containerized managers, exposes network and application policies, a kernel‑level distributed firewall, encrypted overlays for multi‑site management over the Internet, and still lacks some root‑admin advanced hooks in the CloudStack integration.
