Just A Bit About Cloud Layers of Service

• Service Management‒ User / Admin Provisioning

‒ Primary Communication Point

‒ Capabilities

‒ Life cycle management

‒ Limit Enforcement

‒ Extensible

• Orchestration‒ IT process automation

‒ Align consumer demand

‒ Work flow management, monitoring debugging

• Capacity Management‒ Efficient resource allocation /

scheduling

‒ Optimal workload placement

• Virtual Infrastructure‒ Get BIG (Scale)

‒ Separation of duties

‒ Build advanced network services, distributed storage, server utilization

Consider the work...Use Cases For Cloud

● Rapid and cost-effective service deployment

● Self service

● Automation

● Flexibility to design a full software environment

● Elasticity

● Not just a cloud service provider● High-quality services

● Business need alignment

● Foster collaboration

● Greenfield or new business ventures

5 Things IT and Line of Business Should Jointly

Consider Before Deploying a Private Cloud.

Jointly Consider:

1) Align Business Processes to Maximize Private Cloud Value

2) Define the Meaning of Self-Service

3) Get the Workloads Right

4) To Bill or Not to Bill

5) If you Build it, Get Them to Come

Building A Bridge to Cloud

● Develop a realistic set of achievable milestones within an evolving maturity model

● Develop a set of frameworks and standards to support workload mobility within and across public and private clouds

● Establish identity connections

● To existing user base

● Federate between the on-site users and the off-site Clouds, they can be as secure as if operated in-house.

● Define a practical service catalog covering core data center mandate

● Arrive at a set of building blocks upon which to build out the desired IaaS and PaaS capabilities

● Leverage industry in the most efficient and focused manner

Integration Directions Leveraging SUSE

• Goals‒ Cloud optimized workflow

‒ Single web portal into SUSE Cloud, SUSE Manager, SUSE Studio

• SUSE Studio‒ Create images for private and public clouds with single build

‒ Automatic insertion of management scripts and agents

• SUSE Manager‒ Visibility of VMs across cloud boundaries

‒ Controlled patching of thousands of VMs and images

‒ Physical – virtual correlation

• Image management‒ Appliance or pre-deploy configuration

‒ Minimal OS + scripting or post deploy configuration
