„Telia Cloud Platform“ yra viešosios debesijos (angl. public cloud) paslauga ir šio vartotojo vadovo tikslas – padėti paslaugos klientams ja naudotis efektyviai ir suprantamai.
Šį vartotojo vadovą sudaro keli skyriai, kurie iliustratyviai paaiškina paslaugos sudedamąsias dalis ir pateikia pavyzdžius, kaip kiekvieną iš tų dalių pritaikyti savo poreikiams ir paruošti debesų kompiuterijos infrastuktūrą naudojimui.
Our partners at HPE have generously provided us with a couple of ProLiant Gen10 servers, and I’m going to do some testing using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 with KVM. (Update: had to switch to CentOS 7.4 with RDO OpenStack later on).
I’m really excited to see HPE being a front runner with AMD and DL385s, as well as AMD finally releasing a CPU that’s finally (and hopefully) will provide a much needed competition for Intel in the datacentre space.
Here’s the gear I’ll be working with for the next couple of days:
1. HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10
This one has two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 CPUs and 1.5 TB of RAM (768 GB per CPU socket) in 64GB LRDIMMs. BIOS updated to U30 v1.32 (02/01/2018).
| Processor Name | Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6154 CPU @ 3.00GHz |
| Processor Status | |
| Processor Speed | 3000 MHz |
| Execution Technology | 18/18 cores; 36 threads |
| Memory Technology | 64-bit Capable |
| Internal L1 cache | 1152 KB |
| Internal L2 cache | 18432 KB |
| Internal L3 cache | 25344 KB |
Networking is HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 562FLR-SFP+ (Intel X710) and HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 562SFP+ (Intel X710) for a total of 4×10 GbE ports, and HPE Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 331i (Broadcom BCM5719).
Storage is pretty basic as we have SAN infrastructure – HPE Smart Array E208i-a SR Gen10 with 2xVK000240GWJPD SSDs (240 GB) in a RAID1 configuration.
2. HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10
This one has two AMD EPYC 7551 CPUs and 1.5 TB of RAM (768 GB per CPU socket) in 64GB LRDIMMs. BIOS updated to A40 v1.04 (12/12/2017).
| Processor Name | AMD EPYC 7551 32-Core Processor |
| Processor Status | |
| Processor Speed | 2000 MHz |
| Execution Technology | 32/32 cores; 64 threads |
| Memory Technology | 64-bit Capable |
| Internal L1 cache | 3072 KB |
| Internal L2 cache | 16384 KB |
| Internal L3 cache | 65536 KB |
Networking is HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 562FLR-SFP+ (Intel X710) and HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 562SFP+ (Intel X710) for a total of 4×10 GbE ports, and HPE Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 331i (Broadcom BCM5719).
Storage is similar to the one above – HPE Smart Array E208i-a SR Gen10 with 2xVK000240GWEZB SSDs (240 GB) in a RAID1 configuration.

In case you’ve missed it or just want a recap, here’s the story about the Telia Cloud Platform’s journey to date, lessons learned and plans for the future, presented at Telia Technology Day 2018 (in Lithuanian).
This is going to be quick one because a picture is better than a thousand words.
We have three storage tiers in Telia Cloud Platform – Tier-1 on SSD, Tier-2 on SAS and Tier-3 on NL-SAS, and below are the results from CrystalDiskMark 6.0.0 in a Windows Server 2016 VM on a hpc1.a5 flavor.
As for the IOPS@4KB Q32T1 (click on the links below for a full CrystalDiskMark output):
We’ve run a series of tests to provide our customers with a reference as to what can be expected from the platform flavors.
These tests span across a number of GC1 (B3, B7, B11, B17) and HPC1 (A3, A7, A11, A17) flavors. In a nutshell, we demonstrate the vCPU, RAM and combined system performance for 2, 4, 8 and 16 vCPUs with 4 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB and 128 GB of RAM respectively.
We’ve used Phoronix testing suite to run a series of tests on CentOS Linux 7, Kernel: 3.10.0-693.17.1.el7.x86_64 (x86_64), Compiler: GCC 4.8.5 20150623,
File-System: xfs, Screen Resolution: 1024×768, System Layer: KVM.
The tests were run on a live system in a production environment, i.e. no fake or demo lab setups, and artificially boosted numbers.
The tests are completed, a combined output is available here: Telia Cloud Testing Results.
We’re very excited to be able to launch a new version of our Telia Cloud OpenStack – 1.5.
A great deal of work has been put in to address the pain points from the previous version, as well as a new partner for our OpenStack distribution.
