REAL LIFE IS “OLD SCHOOL”...
Customers expectations have changed
1. You need to get to market sooner
2. You need to deliver your services
anywhere, on any device and at any time
3. You need to scale your services
dynamically
4. You need your infrastructure to be cost
efficient
“Old School” infrastructure & methods don't cut it...

An Open Hybrid Cloud delivers the choice required

8. Journey to the Cloud with Red Hat – Technical Event Series – May 20158
WHY AN “OPEN” HYBRID CLOUD?
An Open cloud adds the following key characteristic
● On-demand self service
● Broad network access
● Resource pooling
● Rapid elasticity
● Measured service
+ Workload Portability

Portable workloads across hybrid clouds

23. Journey to the Cloud with Red Hat – Technical Event Series – May 201523
WHAT ARE LINUX CONTAINERS?
Software packaging concept that typically includes an application and all of
its runtime dependencies
● Easy to deploy and portable
across host systems
● Isolates applications on a
host operating system
● In RHEL, this is done through:
● Control Groups (cgroups)
● Kernel namespaces
● SELinux, sVirt, iptables
● Docker
HOST OS
SERVER
CONTAINER
LIBS
APP

Unlock the Value of Cloud for
Your Business

30. Journey to the Cloud with Red Hat – Technical Event Series – May 201530
THE GOLD RUSH MENTALITY
Don't just “lift and shift” your way to the cloud…you'll miss the real gold!

31. Journey to the Cloud with Red Hat – Technical Event Series – May 201531
NO “ROACH MOTELS”
Applications should be able to check in and check out of your cloud

32. Journey to the Cloud with Red Hat - Technical Event Series - May 201532
CERTIFIED CLOUD PROVIDERS
Consume services on demand and enable workload portability
Via Red Hat's Certified Cloud Service Providers you can:
- Consume subscriptions on-demand
- Take your existing subscriptions to the cloud
PLUS MANY MORE...

33. Journey to the Cloud with Red Hat – Technical Event Series – May 201533
CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE IS...
TRANSIENT
It can disappear
ANONYMOUS
You may not always get the
same infrastructure back
MULTITENANT
The infrastructure is shared
and you could get noisy
neighbours

35. Journey to the Cloud with Red Hat – Technical Event Series – May 201535
CLOUD-ENABLED APPLICATIONS
Your applications should have the following characteristics
● Dynamic addressing
● Distributed systems
● Asynchrony
● Statelessness
● Elastic Databases
● MapReduce – Cluster
Computing

36. Journey to the Cloud with Red Hat – Technical Event Series – May 201536
DYNAMIC ADDRESSING
Application components are transient, so they can't use fixed addresses
TRADITIONAL CLOUD

37. Journey to the Cloud with Red Hat – Technical Event Series – May 201537
DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
De-couple and distribute application components – Micro Services
TRADITIONAL CLOUD

38. Journey to the Cloud with Red Hat – Technical Event Series – May 201538
ASYNCHRONY
Decouple in time as well through asynchronous service calls (i.e. use messaging,
queues)

39. Journey to the Cloud with Red Hat – Technical Event Series – May 201539
STATELESSNESS
Externalise session state from applications to the client, or via cache
TRADITIONAL CLOUD
CLUSTERED, SYNCHRONISED APPLICATION SERVERS STATELESS APPLICATION NODES

40. Journey to the Cloud with Red Hat – Technical Event Series – May 201540
ELASTIC DATABASES
Use No SQL data stores to horizontally scale; or at least cache with data-grids
TRADITIONAL CLOUD

41. Journey to the Cloud with Red Hat – Technical Event Series – May 201541
MAPREDUCE – CLUSTER COMPUTING
Horizontally scale and parallelise processing
TRADITIONAL CLOUD

42. Journey to the Cloud with Red Hat – Technical Event Series – May 201542
AUTOMATE EVERYTHING!
Manual and operator intervention tasks will erode value...quickly
Lower total cost of ownership
Greater I.T. efficiency
Increased productivity

43. Journey to the Cloud with Red Hat – Technical Event Series – May 201543
START WITH AN ISLAND PROJECT
Don't try to “boil the ocean”; build, learn, celebrate and iterate...

44. Journey to the Cloud with Red Hat – Technical Event Series – May 201544
