Deployment scenario

Quote

What the Business project manager says:

“Can you take over my application developed by <some third party> in this <exotic> language and run it in production ?

We are going live in 3 days, it is awesome !”

Quote

What the IT manager says:

“Your application is not standard, you did not use the official stack. We need 3 weeks for testing.

Nobody knows how to run it, it is a nightmare!”

The deployment challenge

There is always a “preferred” language

–Java

–PHP

–.NET …

Some applications you can influence others you don’t

Timeframe between cycles not usual

Should you force your developers or suppliers to forge an application using the exact stack you use ?

It is not always possible to get the specifications in time or sometimes not even possible at all (off the shelf software, …)

How to best serve Business schedules

–Now vs. SLA

–Limited runtime vs. IT fit for long term production

Context Problem

Solution 1: virtual datacenter

Allocate subnet

Boot VM

Install and configure OS

Open firewall

Deploy application (often manually)

Do not forget monitoring, backup, …

Virtual datacenter considerations

Exoscale answer:

Compute premium

–Hourly billing with commitment discounts

–Full VMware stack

–Phone support and SLAs

Pros

As a customer there is a extensive offering on proposition:

–Any telco provider, ICT integrator, has a cloud offering of some sort = hosting

It is easy to migrate to

–Import features

Cons

It is rarely “cloud” by definition

–No pay per use, not always self-service, allocation model

It does not help the application

Solution 2: elastic computing

Prepare security groups

Boot instance

Elastic compute considerations

Exoscale answer:

Compute

–Fast provisioning: less than 35 sec

–Performance

–Simple UI

–Outstanding API integration

–Minute billing

Pros

The cost is usually much lower

Instances boot fast and OS images are optimized

You get real APIs

–Start configuration management, smart monitoring,… Automation

Cons

Network and security architecture has to be compliant

–Enforce encryption, use internet, distribute the load with Lbaas,…

If some work of configuration management has not been done, migration to/from is more difficult

Solution 3: Platform as a service

Commit your code

– git commit –m –c ‘ready for prod’

Push your application to exoscale apps

– exoapp default/myapp push

Deploy application

– exoapp default/myapp deploy

Rollback, push new version, a branch ...

–Without losing a single user connection

Features

–Custom domain names

–https or web sockets load balancer

–SSH connection

–Log viewing

–Buildpacks support

From development to testing to production right from developer tools

PaaS considerations

Exoscale answer

Apps platform

–5 languages

–Standard Buildpacks

–Add-Ons: MySQL, Mongo DB,…

Pros

Auto updates of the OS

Very easy migration

Developers love it

–They are free to choose their dependencies and libraries at will

Cons

Does not solve the State problem

–How to store the data, database

Very young technology, skills are not there yet

Solution 4: Containerization

Prepare a container in development

Image it

Ship it to the running environment

–It contains port definitions, clustering,…

Application

Today, the game is not to impose the universal application deployment context

But focus on more efficient factors

VISIBILITY

Does it bring value to the business?

CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION

Is my deployment stack adapted for the business cycle needs ?

CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT

Am I able to maintain the environment over time ?

Wrapping up

Mix and match:

–Rapid deployments to PaaS or containers

–Long term, non changing workloads are fine on IaaS

–Adjust cost of service with cost of project

Standardize mildly:

–Impose the method

–Free the stack

Map your applications:

–Core or side element to your IT

–Migration needs

–Release/deployment cycles

And now?

My recommendations

Be ready !

1.Test even if you do not have a business case

2.Make a proof of concept

3.Open an account PROACTIVE
