(CLOUD) OUTAGE AS A SERVICE

Observation: The usual suspects!

Either provider or customer.

Mostly the same errors.

REASONS TO FAIL Cloud Computing is not simple

CloudOps Summit, September 25, 2013 COPYRIGHT © 2013 BY NEW AGE DISRUPTION | RENÉ BÜST 12

REASONS TO FAIL

CloudOps Summit, September 25, 2013 COPYRIGHT © 2013 BY NEW AGE DISRUPTION | RENÉ BÜST 13

The (public) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider only offersresources to build a virtual data center on top of its cloud infrastructure.

As a customer YOU are responsible for the architecture, design, scalability and availability of your applications and systems.

REASONS TO FAIL

CloudOps Summit, September 25, 2013 COPYRIGHT © 2013 BY NEW AGE DISRUPTION | RENÉ BÜST 14

- No self-responsibility - the customer have to do things on its own.

- Bad architecture - the cloud requires different application models.

- Lack of knowledge - think distributed.

- No self-reflection - not to learn from one's mistakes.

VM/ Server

TO PREVENT IN THE FIELD Cloud Computing is not simple

CloudOps Summit, September 25, 2013 COPYRIGHT © 2013 BY NEW AGE DISRUPTION | RENÉ BÜST 18

TO PREVENT IN THE FIELD

CloudOps Summit, September 25, 2013 COPYRIGHT © 2013 BY NEW AGE DISRUPTION | RENÉ BÜST 19

Not only use some connected server.

- Develop for the cloud.

- Design for failure.

- Think about scalabilty and availibilty from the beginning!

- Learn from the mistakes (of others).

TO PREVENT IN THE FIELD

„The Netflix Simian Army“

- Chaos Monkey - kills instances randomly.

- Chaos Gorilla - simulates an outage of an entire Availability Zone.

- Chaos Kong - simulates an outage of an entire region.

For Amazon Web Services, Eucalyptus Cloud and OpenStack.

ProfitBricks

Live Vertical Scaling

- Scale Up

- Automatically adds CPUs and RAM to VMs when needed.

- If the VM reaches its resource limits another starts.

Business-Bricks-as-a-Service (BBaaS)

- Each brick works autonomous and has a failover concept.

- Integrated scalability and high-availability.

- Various bricks can be combined to a unified brick.

- Use over simple API calls within an existing application.

Multi-Cloud

Champions League

- spread applications and systems over several clouds

- more complex, more capable, (more expensive)

- maximum scalability and high-availability, cost-effective

SUMMARY & PROSPECTS Cloud Computing is not simple

CloudOps Summit, September 25, 2013 COPYRIGHT © 2013 BY NEW AGE DISRUPTION | RENÉ BÜST 31

SUMMARY & PROSPECTS

CloudOps Summit, September 25, 2013 COPYRIGHT © 2013 BY NEW AGE DISRUPTION | RENÉ BÜST 32

- Don‘t rely on the infrastructure of your IaaS provider.

- Show self-responsibility and understand the cloud concepts.

- Develop for the cloud and consider scale up and scale out.

- Don't put all your eggs in one nest. Spread them to cut risk.

SUMMARY & PROSPECTS

CloudOps Summit, September 25, 2013 COPYRIGHT © 2013 BY NEW AGE DISRUPTION | RENÉ BÜST 33

- There‘s a need for more simplicity in IaaS offerings.

- Workaround: Use PaaS - but with a different control level.

- Multi-cloud discussions rising due to outages and bankrupts.

- There‘s a lack of IT professionals for the cloud age.
