• Challenges

• The VMware cooperation




bution

Our Adoption of VMware vRealize Automation



bution

• A global Telco software & services leader. Serves some of the world’s most successful communications and media companies

• Over 25,000 employees with a global presence. Major offices in the Americas, Europe, Asia and of course Israel

• Amdocs IT is a global unit supporting all of Amdocs internal business units WW offering services that include security, internal applications, employee experience and operations

• The IT CCoE (Cloud Center of Excellence) is leading all Cloud activities including all Cloud implementations, governance, consulting, etc.




bution

Our Starting Point

• Project setup took 6 weeks – too slow

• VMs were created manually based on vCenter templates – no automation

• Resources were managed by IT

• No delegation - DevOps were frustrated, pushing to get full control

• DevOps demanded the service to be improved

Operations Made Easy

• Create a NAS File-System using VIPR built-in API

• Enlarge Linux File-System

• Dynamic hostname based on BG and reservation

• Simple commands like cloning a VM or converting a VM to a reusable template

• Custom reports for resources utilization by projects

Outcome

• Project setup elapsed time reduced to 3-4 days

• DevOps are independent and have full control over resources (zero friction with IT)

• DevOps are able to automate more parts of the process than before

• IT owns and manages VRA platform

• Successful implementation of additional tenants with no rework




bution

DevOps Friendly

• vRA CloudClient commands allow creating, deploying and deleting blueprints using CLI

• DevOps using scripts and Ansible playbooks to automate this process. Jenkins action triggers a BP creation, deployment, configuration, and modification

• Every new self-service or skill are easily exposed for any tenant

Jenkins

Action

Ansible

Playbook

• Create/Modify blueprint

• Configure blueprint

• Deploy blueprint

• Deleting blueprint




bution

Our Main Challenges

• Clarifying Roles – authority vs. responsibility

• Adjusting DevOps scripts to work with automation

• Defining the guard rails for safe independence of DevOps




bution

Next Steps

• NSX Implementation

• Containers

• Hybrid Cloud

• Fully automated storage management
