The obligatory cloud definition slide
Self ServiceResource pooling
Rapid Elasticity
Metered Use
@ShapeBlue
Organisations are virtualised = cap/op ex savingsHowever, operationally often still manual
Still often a service ticket to provision new resourcesLong delivery timesRelatively high operational costsRelies on specialist skillsMargin for human error
On-demand self-service is a cloud driver
@ShapeBlue
Make the most of a global compute estateResources dynamically assigned according to demandWorkloads can be averaged: across departments, across Geos, across times of day, days of month, etcBy pooling resources, reduces the reliance on local capacity planningAbstracts physical resources
Resource pooling is a cloud driver
@ShapeBlue
The The XaaS model allows accurate cost measurement

Internal chargeback model much simpler“Shadow IT” can be removed

So, todays use-case’s are…

Use case 1 of 4 - Service provider / public cloud
$2,400,000,000

August 2012 = 90% public cloud vs other use casesAugust 2013 = 50/50 split

Known demand
@ShapeBlue
I realise that AWS is costing too much for my known demand I need to know my tooling will workI need to use the same APII still want to burst to AWSI don’t want to get into a massive/complicated project
Use Case 3 of 4 – “AWS insourcing”

Use Case 4/4 – Enterprise adoption
@ShapeBlue
In 2013, we are seeing enterprises doing one of the following:
adopt public cloudbuild private cloudalign with public clouds (technology, process, standards)CloudStack has a unique position in the enterprise
Use Case 4/4 – Enterprise adoption

Failure happens – Get used to it

Cloud Era workload
Traditional workload
“I have two types of workload”
“Failure happens”? – no thanks
@ShapeBlue
Traditional workloadsTraditional n-tier applicationsScale & reliance handled by the infrastructureScale by “scaling up”Infrastructure expected to be always available
Traditional Workloads
@ShapeBlue
Cloud era workloadsApplications designed for failureApplications designed for massive scaleScale by “scaling out” (horizontally)
How can an enterprise benefit from both models ?
Cloud Era workloads
@ShapeBlue
Private Cloud
Enterprises will adopt a 2 workload model
