Dev/Test Defined• Software product development consists of sequenced
development and testing phases• Development
– Source code management– Software dependency management– Infrastructure configuration management
• Unit testing– Test management– Debugging and IDE integration
• Integration testing– Functional and regression
• Package testing– Build and dependency management

Other Dev/Test Challenges• Lots of independent activities with time-varying resource
requirements sharing common infrastructure– Configuration, infrastructure, and code management
• Accounting– Products must share resources but account separately– Isolation is a question of accounting, not security
• Resource decommissioning– “When is a dev/test cycle over?”

The Challenges• Market Forces
– Fierce competition– Mobile market rapidly moves
• Internal Forces– Lengthy fulfillment times– Inconsistent dev/test/prod environments– Widely distributed development teams
• Financial Factors– Hardware costs– Labor costs– Expensive customer acquisition

Legacy Environment
IT ServicesFulfillment can take days or even weeksAcquiring new hardware extends the delayProvisioning tends to be manualValidating newly provisioned resources takes timeMisconfiguration places additional burden on IT due to troubleshootingDifficult to properly configure each environment to be secure and manageable by OperationsDifferences between dev / test setups are common

The Solution
IT ServicesIaaS Core
Self service interface for rapid fulfillmentConnectivity to IT services is standardized for all usersBuild / Test automation systems are integral to the solutionDevelopment and QA configurations may be sync’dResources are shared by multiple teamsIsolation is inherent in the system and enhanced by setting up multiple availability zonesInfrastructure upgrades may be less disruptive

How do you get your own cloud?• Install Eucalyptus
• 2 physical machines
• CentOS or RHEL 6
• Two install methods– Automated: FastStart– Manual: full OSS version
• Then what?
