What Makes a good cloud ???

3

Think like ILLUM !!

4

Standardization. Construct virtual data centers by pooling compute, storage, and networking resources together

Offers self-service. Construct Service Catalogs, application architectures can be deployed by non-technical people or by automated triggers such as ticketing systems

Secure multi-tenancy, ability to run multiple customers on the same platform

Report consumption, permit charge or show back of what has been consumed and allow for different cost models

Characteristics of IaaS Clouds

Programmatic control via open APIs, ability to automate tasks and ensure mobility or resources between clouds

To make this possible, cloud requires new resource abstractions

vApps

Container of one or more VMs, Networking & security appliances

• Package up multi-tier application architectures

• Upload vApp to a service catalog for easy one-click redeployment

• Select boot order of VMs, start delays and stop delays

• Set policies for vApp, storage lease

Uses the OVF standard

• Captures meta data about the VMs

• Allows import and export between clouds in standard format

Leases, Quotas, and Cost Models Ensure Responsibility

Charge back or Show back to consumers

• vCloud Director resources like broadband network traffic, public IP addresses, DHCP, NAT can be metered and billed

Setup leases to assure resource reclamation

Make use of existing service desk approval ticketing systems to drive provisioning operations in the cloud

Provide Choice in Resource Consumption Models

With Vmware Chargeback we have set 3 “out of the box” consumption models

Allocated Pool – “Bill for thevirtual container”

Reservation Pool – “Bill for the physical container”

Pay-Per-vApp – Purchase VMs of specified sizes and contents

Cloud Consumer (eg: QA Engineer): Requests new vApp based on template.

Approver (eg: Line Manager): Receives email notification and approves via email.

The Hybrid Cloud

Cloud Computingis a way of doing

Cloud ServiceProviders

Hybrid CloudComposition of 2 or more interoperable clouds, enabling data and application portability

Public CloudAccessible over the Internet for general consumption

Private CloudOperated solely for an organization, typically within the firewall
