Why VMware And/Or OpenStack?

Workload Dictates Architecture

Going From 2nd to the 3rd Platform

2nd Platform Design Principles

Monolithic architecture

Stateful Services

Operator focusedSteady-state/ Predictable

Design Goal: Resilient Infrastructures

3rd Platform Design Principles

Distributed architecture

Developer focused

Stateless Services

Unpredictable/ Spikey

Design Assumption: Fragile Infrastructures

What’s Wrong with the Cloud/OpenStack?

We Architect Clouds for Rapid Scale

At Scale Chaos and Failures Are Inevitable

So Design for Failure

OpenStack Orchestrates DC Resources

To Deliver Self-Service IT Rapidly At Scale

Can I Have The Best Of Both Worlds?
