As cloud adoption increases, cloud management becomes more and more of a challenge. No longer can you look at managing your clouds with a one-off management strategy. In this session, you will learn how forward-thinking organizations around the world are bringing cloud into their IT operations and integrating it with their existing tools, systems, and processes to simplify management for administrators and streamline provisioning for developers. We will discuss governance tools, like security systems and chargeback models, as well as policy tools, monitoring solutions, ITSM systems and more. Discover how applying an extensible management approach across all of your clouds, including SaaS, PaaS and IaaS, can increase scale, availability and performance.

14. What is Extensible Strategy?
• Integrate and extend
• Leverages existing processes and tools
• Managing upward and outward
• Scales to add new cloud types
• Holistic approach

15. Challenges
• Common mistakes
• Starting too small or too big
• Waiting too long to figure out a strategy
• Attempting too much at once
• Not determining a clear leader
• Consequences
• Inefficient
• Not scalable
• Not agile
• Unprepared for the future

16. Cloud Management
Considerations

17. Security
• Who and what?
• Extend security policies into
cloud
• Driven by your directory
• Single sign-on
• Auditing

18. Cost controls
• Monitoring usage of cloud is a
new world
• Controls and chargeback
• Cloud sprawl is real

19. Meeting service levels
• Delivering VMs
• Delivering cloud resources
• Delivering applications
• Automating infrastructure and
applications
• Tools and APIs

20. Capacity planning and management
• Cloud usage and Trends
– Users
– Cloud resources
• Activity uniqueness
• Concurrent and interactions
• Private Infrastructure and public
resources

21. Monitoring
• Leverage existing monitoring
systems and processes
• Application level vs host level
• For private clouds, health of
the cloud layer
• Container monitoring

22. ITSM/Policies
• Remedy and ServiceNow
• Cloud resources fit into
existing ITSM structure?
• New policies or repurpose
existing flows for virtual
resources
• Budgetary restrictions vs
access limitations?
• How about a hybrid or multi-
cloud environment?

23. Preparing for a multi/hybrid cloud world
• Challenge gets compounded
with a hybrid cloud
• Foundation set to scale
• Now or later?
