Private Cloud/Virtualized environment: Compute, storage, and network
resources for a single tenant that are accessed programmatically via an API
and/or a user interface.
Cloud Architecture: A similar set of multi-tenant resources provided by a
cloud vendor with access via an API endpoint.
Multi-Cloud: An environment that spans two or more separate clouds, be
they both public, both private, or one (or more) of each.
Hybrid IT/Cloud: An environment that spans one or more public clouds as
well as one or more private/virtualized environments.

USE CASES
Use Case: Public Cloud for Agility
o Agility for faster time to market
• Web
• Dev/test
• Self-service IT
o Geographic Expansion
o Op-ex model
o Alternate resource pool
o IT can be the hero; agility with control
o Provide standardized builds with operational excellence
o Leverage all resources
o Increases agility across the board
Example of Self-Service
“Lilly is leveraging RightScale
against application stacks in a
‘vending machine’ concept that
allows self-service to
infrastructure.” -Dave Powers

o An application deployment model in which an application runs in your
datacenter and bursts to a cloud provider when the demand for
computing capacity spikes.
o The advantage of a cloud bursting-enabled deployment is that an
organization only pays for extra compute resources when they are
needed.

• Run Steady state in
private cloud
• Burst to public when
capacity is reached
• Public cloud scaled down
after load decreases
• “Own the base rent the

Use Cases: Disaster Recovery
o Production environment in on-premises
o DR environment in cloud
o Most common configuration is the “Warm DR” scenario
• Replicating slave in the cloud
• All other servers in non-operational state
Architect for SLAs
• HA/DR reference
architectures
• Cross-region and cross-
cloud
• Auto-scale to meet
demand
• Monitor and automate
failover
• Hot, warm, and cold DR
scenarios
