• Public Clouds– Shared computing infrastructure that anyone can

access via the Internet (e.g., Amazon Web Services, Rackspace)

• Private Clouds– Cloud computing infrastructure that is owned by a

single party; may or may not be connected to the Internet (e.g., Eucalyptus-enabled data center)

• Hybrid Clouds– Union of Public and Private Clouds used together to

leverage the benefits of both

Different Cloud Types

• Applications in the Cloud (SaaS)– Salesforce.com, Gmail, …

• Platforms in the Cloud (PaaS)– Google App Engine, Force.com, …

• Infrastructure in the Cloud (IaaS)– Amazon Web Services, GoGrid, Rackspace, …– RightScale cloud management system

• Agile = automate and benefit!– From boot to production on auto-pilot– Across different stacks & different clouds– Auto-failover, auto-restart, auto-scale– Change your business process

“Deploy faster, better, and cheaper than your competitors”

Demo – Cloud Basics

Launch a Server Configure a Server

Managing a Multi-Server Environment


17

Demo: Launch a Server

1.Access a bundled Machine Image

2.Launch3.Install your application4.Re-bundle and save


18

Dynamically Configure a Server• Next gen architecture - “Cloud-ready” servers

– More than just running a bundled image

• Dynamic vs. static configuration– Leverage one server model across different

deployments– Replicable design … get up and running fast!– Complete lifecycle management … version control– Portability across multiple cloud platforms

• RightScale Server Templates


19

What’s in a Server Template?


20

Key Takeaways: Static vs. Dynamic Server Configuration

When Using Machine Images …OVERHEAD = Time to Change * # of Live Images + Time to Retrieve, Launch, and Change * # Stored Images

When Using Server Templates …

OVERHEAD = Time to Change

Eliminate the overhead of image maintenance, dramatically reducing your system administration and development burdens.


21

Managing a Multi-Server EnvironmentRightScale Deployments bring all the serversassociated with an application environmenttogether under unified management• Set global input parameters• Monitor the entire deployment• Make global updates• Easily clone for ongoing development and testing


22

Demo: Multi-Server Environment1. Example deployment2. Global configurations3. Monitor a deployment4. Deployment management

– Consumption tracking– Making a change


23

Key Takeaways: Deployments

• Administrators monitor and respond at a deployment level

• All servers share common input parameters• Leverage configurations across multiple

availability zones and clouds• Work more efficiently and eliminate errors
