EVERYTHING AS CODEHOW DID WE GET HERE?TRAVIS RHODEN – DEVELOPER ADVOCATE, EMC {code}

• {code} developer advocate

• From C to Python

• From Defense Contracting to Cloud

• From proprietary to open source

WHO IS TRAVIS?


All components of your app deployment are defined in software or a declarative language,

and version controlled

WHAT IS EVERYTHING AS CODE?

Infrastructure Software Monitoring


MORE * AS CODE

Testing

Deployment

Scaling


WHY * AS CODE

Micro-service based architectures require more agility from lower-level infrastructure


ENABLING AGILITY

Agility

Automation

Software-Defined


HOW DID WE GET HERE?THE ROAD TO SOFTWARE DEFINED


WATERFALL

Sequential phases

Rigidly defined

Requirements and design upfront

Test at the end


PROBLEMS WITH WATERFALLRequirements not knownWaiting to testInfrequent delivery


WANTING TO BECOME AGILEShorter dev/test cycles (sprints)

Frequent deliveries

Fast feedback

How to accomplish with large projects?


MOVING TO SERVICE-BASED ARCHITECTURES

Break large projects into separate services

Develop/test/deliver independently

Creates more work absent automation


HOW DID INFRASTRUCTURE KEEP UP?

Many smaller services

Lots of overhead in hardware CAPEX and OPEX


ENTER IAAS

Virtualization to the rescue!

Self-service access to VMsbecomes “IT of tomorrow”

“right-size” resources


LIMIT OF SELF-SERVICE

YOU


IAAS DOESN’T SCALE BY ITSELF

Scaling application tiers to match demand

Attaching the correct persistent storage

Manual processes are error-prone

Infrastructure cannot keep up with requirements of newer applications without automation


SOFTWARE DEFINEDREPEATABLE, IMMUTABLE INFRASTRUCTURE


REMOVE YOURSELF

Infrastructure is defined in code or a markup language

Code repository is the source of truth

Infrastructure is deployed just like an application, or as part of the application


CHANGE THE CODE, NOT THE SERVER

REPEATABLE IMMUTABLE

NO SURPRISES


EVERYTHING AS CODEBRINGING ALL THE PIECES TOGETHER


SD(X) ENABLES INFRASTRUCTURE AS CODE

Now infrastructure is organic, not staticnot at odds with immutable

Enables higher level behaviors


THE REACTIVE APPLICATION PLATFORM

Instead of self-service, we have auto-scaling (up and down!), scheduling, and self-healing

Respond to changes in demand faster than any human could


APP PLATFORM INCLUDES INFRASTRUCTURE

Next generation platforms automatically include proxies, load balancers, log aggregators, gateways, etc.

Launched as needed and auto-scaled


OPEN SOURCE AS THE DRIVEROSS DRIVES SD(X)


OSS LEADS THE PACK

Open Source applications are leading Software-Defined Everything

KEY PROJECTS


DEMO


WRAP UP


KEY TAKEAWAYS

Repeatable, immutable infrastructure provides consistency and predictability

Software defined enables advanced automation

Automation leads to better scaling with less human overhead


KEY TAKEAWAYSOSS provides maximum agility

• Evolves faster than anything else

• Best products rise to top, then work with each other.

• EMC {code} promotes and enhances OSS for software defined infrastructure


KEY TAKEAWAYS

Treating infrastructure as code and integrating developer oriented methods of operating

infrastructure is the only way to properly address the future needs of applications
