“Three interdependent forces that power the biggest wave of growth, change, and destruction … in the high tech industry.”
– Jean-Louis Gassée
State of the Cloud
• Big Switch
• New IT Stack
• Third Revolution
Cloud is not a fad. Cloud is not a trend.Cloud is a requirement.
Cloud circa 2006
• Amazon EC2 – Public IaaS cloud• Technical:
–Agility–Infinite scale–Automation underlying everything
• Business:–On-demand–Op-ex vs. Cap-ex–Cost benefits of scale
Cloud Today• Private internal / private hosted / public / hybrid
• Business benefits vary with deployment models
–No simple rule of what costs less, op-ex not always preferred
–Sometimes control is paramount
• Technical benefits same:
–Automation + API to allocate, manage and decommission resources on-demand, from compute to storage to network
–Even in-house clouds offer near infinite scale if supply chain pipeline keeps ahead – standardization of resources allows pre-provisioningw/o knowing exact consumer
What is a Cloud?Automated, scalable, on-demand compute, storage, network resources
Highly effective layers of abstractionEach layer achieves scalability & reliability through uniformityTrue clouds are API-driven
Virtualization alone does not a cloud make
Journey to Cloud
Traditional ITSiloed/over capacity/server sprawl
ConsolidationPhysical infrastructure
VirtualizationIncrease utilization
StandardizationImprove efficiency
AutomationRapid Provisioning
Resource PoolingShared workloads
Cloud ComputingDynamic/Elastic/Pay per Use
Goodbye SPISaaS/PaaS/IaaS definition of cloud is outdated
More a definition of logical layers than market reality
New ModelNew reality is a blending of all these cloud models
Examples: AWS, Google, Azure, Zend, CloudFoundry

Multiple Resource Pools
Distinct Cloud Providers
All Rightscale Users
Visibility• Shadow IT / Rogue IT / IT leakage
–For every cloud project you know about, there may be 3-5 others you don’t know about (Forrester)
• Not rebellion, but revenue & productivity• You can give up on trying to stop it• Why you should be concerned:
–Quality? E.g. high availability & BCDR–Security & compliance–Billing issues – what are you spending?–Account sprawl, user sprawl
• Throw in multiple clouds & it gets worse
Standardization• Cloud builds are everywhere
–Machine image & workload sprawl–Config language smorgasbord
– Puppet, Chef, DIY open source provisioning–Almost limitless cloud deployment options
• Accidental tourist in cloud
• How can IT support this?
• Heading down track of dev meets ops train wreck.
Self-Service• IT can be the hero, agility with control• Provide standardized builds with operational
excellence
• Legacy management approaches are not designed for cloud
• Need cloud management that provides:–Automation–Library of solutions that can be shared–Visibility & governance
