Cloud Concepts: IaaS
IaaS = Infrastructure as a Service = Server + Storage + Network
No need to invest in hardware up front
Develop and deploy applications faster
Scale up or down as needed

Cloud Concepts: History of Virtualization
Provisioning a single physical server took months
Physical resources were often underutilized
Virtualization helped:
Reduce provisioning time
Maximize physical resources
Introduce concepts such as cloning and snapshots

Cloud Concepts
Cloud != Virtualization
© Raastech, Inc. 2016 | All rights reserved. Slide 10 of 25@Raastech
Why Cloud is not Virtualization
On demand resources
Rapidly provisioned (i.e., self-service provisioning)
Minimal management
Elastic (i.e., workload management)
Measured service (i.e., metering and chargeback)

Oracle Compute Cloud Service
Unoriginal name
Can be metered or non-metered
Can use VirtualBox images as templates

Amazon Web Services EC2
EC2 = Elastic Compute Cloud (get it?)
Scalable computing capacity in the AWS cloud

Summary
Why we moved from AWS EC2 to Oracle Compute Cloud:
Relatively easy migration (simple backup & restore)
One app needed to be relinked due to library version difference
Yes, it was 25% more expensive, but:
Comparable CPU count
Non-metered
2x memory
20x storage
Oracle Cloud Support
Dedicated Cloud Success Manager

Gotchas
Some things that were new to me in Oracle Compute Cloud:
Firewall rule groupings
The concept of orchestrations
Persistent boot disks and its impact on snapshots
Support for Solaris
