Building a Cloud Storage System

Half Day Morning
(9:00 am-12:30 pm)

Crystal Room

T1
Jeff Darcy, Red Hat
Description: 

The trend toward moving computation into the cloud has resulted in new expectations for storage in the cloud. This tutorial will provide information necessary to build your own cloud-appropriate storage system.

Who should attend: 

Primarily, people who wish to implement their own task-specific cloud storage systems. Secondarily, those who wish to understand why existing cloud storage systems have been designed the way they are, and what tradeoffs they have made to achieve their respective goals.

Topics include: 
  • New requirements: Application-level users of cloud storage have come to expect a variety of data and consistency/ordering models well beyond those provided by traditional file, block, or relational-database systems.
  • New constraints: Systems deployed in the cloud are often characterized by low levels of trust (user/user and user/provider) and lack of hardware access of configuration flexibility.
  • Techniques: Implementing a system to meet these new requirements and constraints will require a thorough knowledge of cluster and distributed-system techniques such as vector clocks, Merkle trees, Bloom filters, and various kinds of append-only storage.
  • Case studies: Existing systems representing successful use of these techniques will be examined.
