Cloud Computing


What is Cloud Computing?

• On-demand delivery of IT resources via the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing

• With cloud computing, organizations can consume shared computing and storage resources rather than building, operating and improving infrastructure on their own

• Different cloud offerings

– SaaS (Software-as-a-Service)

• Rented software

– IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service)

• Rented hardware

– PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service)

• Rented hardware, owned software


IAAS

• Infrastructure as a Service

– Most Control

• Full access to servers

– Most Management

• Secure VPN, full extension of Client network, looks as if on-site

• Client can manage day to day operations

– Owned Software

• Customers own licenses BYOL

• Example:


AWS Overview

• Amazon Web Services launched in 2006

– Provides cloud IT computing services, that are

• Flexible: Enables use of Operating Systems, Programming Models, Database and Architecture with which organizations are already familiar.

• Cost-effective: Organizations can pay only for what they use, without up-front or long-term commitments.

• Scalable: Organizations can quickly add and subtract AWS resources to their applications in order to meet demand and manage costs.

• Secure: AWS builds services in accordance with security best practices and a variety of IT security standards, including:

– SOC 1 / SSAE 16/ ISAE 3402; SOC2; FISMA, DIACAP, and FedRAMP; PCI DSS Level 1; ISO 27001; ITAR; FIPS 140-2

Best Practices

Running Oracle Applications on AWS


Design for failure

• Design an Oracle Applications environment for failure

– Avoid single point of failure

App1

App2 DB Standby Replication

AZ 1

AZ 2


Design for Failure

• AWS specific tactics for implementing this best practice

– Failover gracefully using Elastic IPs

– Utilize multiple Availability Zones

– Maintain Amazon Machine Image so that you can restore and clone environments

– Utilize Amazon Cloud Watch for monitoring to get more visibility

– Incremental snapshots of EBS volumes

– Automated backups to RDBMS


Choose Multi Node Architecture

• Build components that do not have tight dependencies on each other

– For example for a Oracle Applications, you can isolate the App Server from the database 2-tier or n-tier architecture

– Decoupling components enables scaling horizontally by adding more nodes and also design a hybrid models

– EBS 11i is 32-bit application platform and choose multi node configuration for handling load

• Distribute forms, web and concurrent processing nodes onto dedicated nodes

• Use elastic load balancer for accessing web


Think Parallel

• Requesting Data

• Storing Data

• Processing Data – Retrieving and Storing data throughput can be increased by striping your data across

multiple volumes

– Configure EBS optimization and choose PIOPS for EBS data volumes • Use ASM for database filesystem

– To process data for a web application, distribute the incoming requests across multiple asynchronous web servers using load balancer

– In case of batch processing application, the master node can spawn up multiple slave worker nodes that processes task in parallel (distributed processing framework like Hadoop)


Build Security in Every Layer

• Cloud is a multi-tenant environment and we often express concerns about security

• Build network and application layer security to protect the instances and data

– Application and Database Security:

• Configure SSL for web server to protect data in transit, utilize Oracle Applications built in Wallet for loading SSL certs on the server

• Implement TDE or encryption at disk

– AWS also provides encryption for EBS volumes

– Network Layer Security:

• Firewalls

• Open only required ports

• Separate Security group for each tier and specific ports opened for access with IPs


Security Groups


DR Instance in AWS

• Build a DR instance in AWS in pilot light mode

– Smaller DB configuration

– Passive application nodes


Backups

• Traditional backups taken and maintained at offsite facility


Backups with AWS

• Oracle Secure Backup Cloud Module for RMAN

– Backups are pushed with one command to S3 bucket

– AWS S3 is 99.999999999% durable

• Storage Redundancy

• Security • Availability • Scalability • Geographic

Distribution


Migrate Data to Cloud


How to Migrate Data to Cloud?

• AWS provides different methods to send/bring data to cloud

– AWS Storage Gateway – Move data from on premise to cloud storage

– AWS Import/Export – Create job request and print out package slip and ship your HDD

– AWS Data Pipe – Archive Web Server logs to S3 daily and run EMR job flow on those logs weekly to provide traffic reports


How to Migrate Data to Cloud?

• Amazon VM Import

– Import your VM and migrate the VM to AWS

• ETL Engine

– Informatica or ODI can load data from on premise EBS database to data warehouse in cloud

• Other mechanisms

– Replication (DB replication with GoldenGate, log shipping etc.)

– Managed file transfer products

– Scripted rsync, tsunami etc.



Customer Case Study

Data Center Migration to AWS


Key Business Drivers

Infrastructure Challenges

• Hardware components rapidly approaching end of life

• IT Infrastructure being managed across multiple locations

• Multiple vendors and support contracts

• Legacy applications

Cost of Ownership

• Increasing operational expenses year over year

• Capex spend at different cycles


On-Premise Environment

Infrastructure Spread Across Multiple Locations

• Connectivity between and from multiple locations

• Multiple servers, SAN storage, network equipment

• Printers, tape libraries, file servers

Applications Include

• Domain controllers, PING identity, monitoring servers

• Ticketing system and other Windows based applications

• Oracle ERP

• Oracle Business Intelligence

• LACROSSE applications on MS SQL server
