Rob Carr, Integration Engineer at RightScale, led this session at the RightScale User Conference 2010 in Santa Clara. Session Abstract: Enterprises that are required to keep physical control of infrastructure but want the benefits of public cloud elasticity are driving the development and adoption of private cloud technology. This session covers the emerging private cloud phenomenon and how RightScale allows you to leverage your existing infrastructure in new and exciting ways. We'll discuss the fundamentals of private cloud architectures, clarify how RightScale ServerTemplate technology drives value within private clouds, and demonstrate a hybrid cloud deployment in action.

1. Leveraging the Private Cloud Robert Carr, Professional Services

2. Welcome Concept to Reality Components of a Cloud Application Requirements Filters Dynamic Configuration Methodology Connecting the Cloud Hybrid-cloud Management Q&A

3. Concept to Reality Do private clouds exist? Vaporware becomes vendorware Cloud.com Eucalyptus OpenStack VMware vCloud Opensource / Commercial Offerings Enterprises deploying private clouds today

4. Customer Profiles Already committed to a private cloud project. Some public cloud success Adapting public cloud experience to their own internal operations Streamlining procurement Increasing transparency Proof-of-concept In-house learning Is it feasible and reasonable? What do you we do with all these servers? Information gathering Everyone wants to follow Reference architectures Best practices

5. Basic Private Cloud Layout Management Nodes API Storage Pools Compute Nodes

6. “Hybrid” cloud architectures Private Hybrid Bursting

7. Why Multi-cloud; Hybrid-cloud? Many Reasons: Geo-location Compliance Performance Price High availability Disaster recovery Freedom of choice / no lock-in Better utilization Excess capacity

9. Pooling Virtual Servers

10. Enable users through self-service

11. Maintain cost accounting and transparency

12. Control access to multiple resource pools

13. Data Considerations

14. Bring the cloud to your data

15. Compliance

16. Data transfer performance / Cost

17. Control the pipes

18. Your own custom cloud

19. One-size may not fit all

21. Define your requirements filters

22. What are you trying to accomplish?

23. Commit the Resources

24. Human costs / Training

25. Capital expenses for HW

26. New operations process

27. Start Small

28. 10,000 nodes? Try 10, then 100

29. Work out the kinks

31. Design once deploy anywhere

32. Let the application dictate the infrastructure

33. Be selective

34. Managing environments

35. Creating deployment systems

36. Manage across clouds

37. Control resource pool accessExperience Community and ISV assets Best practices Real world case studies

38. RightScale’s ServerTemplate Methodology Dynamic configuration Cloud Agnostic / Portable Modular and variable-based Re-usable and sharable Version controlled

39. Server Templates are Server DNA Cloud Agnostic One Asset, Multiple Options Public “Web Server” Private Future Cloud
