Agenda

• Evolving to dev/test in the public cloud– Capabilities

• Enterprise Networking – Requirements– Networking in the public cloud

• Solution overview– Software Defined Networking

• Live Demo– Setting up a simple environment– Complex network with F5 Big IP, FortiGate firewall, VLANs, …

• Hands-on lab

Dev/Test in the Public Cloud

Public cloud should serve as an extra capacity to Enterprise’s internal data center - Why?

1. Rent vs. buy model2. Design data centers to average capacity while maintaining business

agility

• Scale on demand• Never run out of capacity• Repeatable deployments (clones) of complex multi-tier

production applications for:• Dev environments• Test environments• Upgrade testing• Continuous integration and delivery

Dev/Test in the Public Cloud

Requirements

5

Enterprise Networking

• Static IPs, Multiple subnets• Firewalls, routers, load balancers, network optimization and

security appliances• Full L2 support with broadcast/multicast• Full control of switch settings, including setting vlans, trunk

ports, promiscuous ports, mirror ports, etc.• Multiple NICs per VM• Multiple IPs per VM• Application components connect

via DNS / host names / private IPs


6

Network configuration on AWS EC2 / Google cloud


• Limited number of public IPs• Extremely limited availability of network appliances• No L2 support• No control of switch settings, including setting vlans,

trunk ports, promiscuous ports, mirror ports, etc.

• Single NIC per VM• No console access

Ravello: Encapsulates, Abstracts & Automates Multi-Tier App Environments

Encapsulates


VM VM VM

Networking

Storage

Abstracts

Compute, network & storage on any cloud– private or public (AWS, Google, HP Cloud etc)

Automates

- Snapshots/clones- Templates- Network fencing- Developer self-service- Same VMs from private data center- Auto-provision & deploy on any cloud without modifying VM or networking

Multi-VM

11

Ravello’s SDN – Fenced Environments


• Fully fenced network in each ‘capsule’• Allows for quick duplication of environments• No IP collisions, no scripting to change IPs

Ravello’s SDN – External Access


• Expose selected ports and IPs for external access• DNS + public IPs attached to each cloned

environment (no limitation)

Ravello’s SDN – Inside the Environment


• Private static IPs, multiple subnets• Multiple NICs per VM• Console access• Full L2 support

– Broadcast / multicast

• Control of switch settings– VLANs– Trunk / access ports– Promiscuous and Mirror ports

• DNS service• DHCP service

14

Ravello’s SDN – Same Appliances


• Upload existing network appliances from VMware• Firewalls, routers, network optimization appliances• Same configuration, same network topology

And many more…

Results With Ravello

• Replicating production environments to accurately test on production-like environments – same networking, same VMs

• Application blueprinting saves multi-tier app environment as a template

• Upgrade testing with versioning of environments • Easy re-creation of bugs/problems by snapshotting

entire multi-tier app • No capacity constraints – use any cloud on demand• Continuous integration on replicas of production using

Ravello APIs

• Your environment– Upload your VMs from private data center – Define your network topology

• We’re right there– It’s all free - we pay for your cloud VMs – Free technical assistance– Free training
