Cloud Concepts: IaaS
▪ IaaS = Infrastructure as a Service = Server + Storage + Network
▪ No need to invest in hardware up front
▪ Develop and deploy applications faster
▪ Scale up or down as needed

Cloud Concepts: History of Virtualization
▪ Provisioning a single physical server took months
▪ Physical resources were often underutilized
▪ Virtualization helped:
▪ Reduce provisioning time
▪ Maximize physical resources
▪ Introduce concepts such as cloning and snapshots

Cloud Concepts
▪ Cloud != Virtualization
© Raastech, Inc. 2017 | All rights reserved. Slide 10 of 26@Raastech
Why Cloud is not Virtualization
▪ On demand resources
▪ Rapidly provisioned (i.e., self-service provisioning)
▪ Minimal management
▪ Elastic (i.e., workload management)
▪ Measured service (i.e., metering and chargeback)

Oracle Compute Cloud Service
▪ Unoriginal name
▪ Can be metered or non-metered
▪ Can use VirtualBox images as templates

Amazon Web Services EC2
▪ EC2 = Elastic Compute Cloud (get it?)
▪ Scalable computing capacity in the AWS cloud

Summary
▪ Why we moved from AWS EC2 to Oracle Compute Cloud:
▪ Relatively easy migration (simple backup & restore)
▪ One app needed to be relinked due to library version difference
▪ Yes, it was 25% more expensive, but:
▪ Comparable CPU count
▪ Non-metered
▪ 2x memory
▪ 20x storage
▪ Oracle Cloud Support
▪ Dedicated Cloud Success Manager

Gotchas
▪ Some things that were new to me in Oracle Compute Cloud:
▪ Firewall rule groupings
▪ The concept of orchestrations
▪ Persistent boot disks and its impact on snapshots
▪ Support for Solaris
