• automation: the unsung hero• starting from the process• transforming theory into reality• sweat the small stuff
• provisioning• self-service request, cloud and user role assignment, app url warm-up, notification, and
service delivery• 100s of automated decisions, logic, error handling and other moving parts• 1 result
• deprovisioning• even more moving parts, and now with more “heavy lifting”
• maintenance
orchestrating cloud
Birds-Of-A-Feather• BOF06 Service Manager and Orchestrator: Automation Best Use Cases -
Open Discussion• BOF09 System Center Orchestrator Use Cases
Breakouts• SD-B315 Getting Started with Orchestrator and Service Manager• SD-B310 Best in Breed Together: Real World Scenarios with Service
Manager and Orchestrator• SD-B308 Orchestrating Azure and System Center 2012• SD-B309 Orchestrating Hyper-V Replica Planned Failover with System

• Definition from Wikipedia• Self Service is the practice of serving oneself, usually when purchasing items Common example: many gas stations: customer pumps their own gas rather than have an attendant do it • IT Self Service: Allows a user to access the IT resources, solutions, etc. that they require
without any (or limited) manual intervention from IT
• Cloud Self Service Touch Points: Its all about the User!• Service Manager Self Serve Portal• Application Controller Portal• Application Diagnostics Portal• Others:• Orchestrator Portal• Operations Manager Portal• Service Management Portal (Azure Cloud Services for Windows/Service Provider Framework)
self service
• Process: defines the solution• defining the user requirements• capture all users touch points• collecting the data required by automation• what questions need to be asked• How do we display results (pick lists, drop down menus, true / false, checkbox, text)
• Defining configurations required in the portals
• Provisioning: building it in System Center• connecting orchestrator to service manager• creating the templates• creating the service and request offerings
• Portal customizations• adding company name and logo
defining the self service solution
• Definition from Gartner• Metered by Use: usage metrics to enable multiple payment modelsUse of Service Billing Model: multiple levels of service, different pricing plans, and models Examples: pay-as-you go plans, subscriptions, fixed plans and even free plans**chargeback vs showback
• System Center: Chargeback • Virtual Machine Manger: visibility to and management of the cloud fabric• Operations Manager: monitoring of private cloud resources including capacity, and availability• Service Manager : CMDB contains information about the private cloud components
: price sheets: is association of a set of prices for various attributes for a VM and associate these to private clouds• Service Manager Data Warehouse: reporting and business intelligence cubes
metering
application managementKey Focus Areas• Time to deployment – Creating a repeatable and consistent deployment• Time to resolution – Solving issues in a timely manner
• How?• Standardizing deployment and servicing via
service templates
• Monitoring during the application life cycle including at deployment.
