David Benedict - Member of Technical Staff, VMware Cornelia Davis - Platform Engineer, Cloud Foundry, Pivotal Vipul Shah - Director of Product Management, VMware vCloud Automation Center provides powerful capabilities for policy-based orchestration of complex infrastructure and application deployments. A Platform as a Service (PaaS) such as Pivotal CF, built on the open-source Cloud Foundry, presents a set of abstractions and capabilities that focus on the application implementation and the run-time services it will leverage. The value of a PaaS installation is equally driven by the set of application-centric capabilities provided, such as performance monitoring or logging, and by the set of services that can easily be integrated into an application; exposing the offerings in the vCloud Automation Center services catalog for leverage by apps deployed into Pivotal CF allows an enterprise faster time to value. And a vCloud Automation Center user can model system deployments, automating infrastructure provisioning and software deployments; this modeling is equally valuable even when the targets of the orchestrations are the PaaS abstractions of applications and services. These products are very complementary and we’ll show you how. Understand how the combined vCloud Automation Center / Pivotal CF solutions provide the basis for a comprehensive PaaS solution. See a demo of and roadmap for the integrated solution. Learn how to use vCloud Automation Center to model applications for deployment into Pivotal CF and how to draw vCloud Automation Center services into Pivotal CF. After a brief overview of both products, we will describe the capabilities and derived value of the joint solution that will have early access availability at the time of the conference.

4. VMware vCloud Automation Center Mission
4
Infrastructure
Automation
Provision and manage infrastructure
services on VMware private and public
clouds, other hypervisors, physical servers,
Amazon EC2 and other public clouds
based on business and IT policies.
App Delivery &
Release Automation
Model and automate the deployment and
lifecycle of applications on any
infrastructure using blueprints
to standardize application components and
policies to automate app release process.
IT as a Broker
of Services
Deploy, manage and govern access to IT
datacenter
services such as virtual desktops, Hadoop
clusters, employee onboarding, storage,
exchange mailboxes, and more.
Multi-platform

5. Next Generation Application Innovation:
Evolving practices and technologies
• What is the customer trying to do?
– Increase development and innovation for a new class of web, cloud and mobile applications
– Increase management and efficiency for a specific class of mission critical operational applications
– Leverage existing Vmware infrastructure assets and skills
– Re-invest operational efficiency savings into new application development and environment readiness
• What should you and the customer consider?
• What are the deployment and runtime requirements specific to the application type(s)
• What are the flexibility and agility demand of the developers and DevOps teams

6. Application classes and attributes to consider
VMware VCAC Pivotal PCF PaaS
Infrastructure independent applications
• Horizontally scalable, both data and app.
• Apps do not need to package entire stack to run.
• Stateless. Application does not depend on data
stored in memory or on local disk during user
interactions.
• API first, micro-services architecture
• Built for mobile first
• Loosely coupled to data services.
Infrastructure dependent applications
• Applications that have dedicated IP requirements
• Stateful - e.g. uses session data or local disk for user
interactions
• Client server architecture
• Packaged applications; requiring the software
components to all be updated at the same time
• Scale vertically – capacity increases require changes in
infrastructure characteristics

10. Story 1: Application Innovation Begins
• Goal: Develop modern, cloud-enabled application
• Demo:
– Use Pivotal CF to instantiate services
– Use Pivotal CF to deploy applications into standardized sandbox
– Bind applications to services
– Experiment: try different services, scale applications, etc.

13. Story 1: Publish PaaS App with Enterprise Services

• Goal: Enable LOB team to continually develop SpringTrader app for
Production purposes
• LOB Requirements: Ensure use of approved development stack with
“zero touch” experience
• IT Requirements: LOB must use standardized, Enterprise-class
services (e.g. Oracle) that adhere to compliance requirements
• Demo:
• Model Pivotal CF Build Packs
• Model Pivotal CF Managed Services (e.g. Rabbit MQ)
• Model Enterprise Services in vCAC (e.g. Oracle DB)
• Register Artifact Repository (e.g. Artifactory)
• Model PaaS-based Application with Pivotal CF & Enterprise Services
• Publish to Catalog
