A Tale of Two Workloads


Workload Dictates Architecture


Right Infrastructure for the Workload


Traditional Workloads


Traditional IT Design Principles

Monolithic architectureStateful Services

Operator focusedSteady-state/ Predictable


Traditional Infrastructure Consumption Models

On-Premises Infrastructure Off-Premises Hosting


Design Goal: Resilient Infrastructures


Cloud Native Workloads


Cloud Native Design Principles

Distributed architecture

Developer focused

Stateless Services

Unpredictable/ Spikey


Cloud Consumption Models

Public Cloud Private Cloud


Design Assumption: Fragile Infrastructures


What’s Wrong with the Cloud?

14


We Architect Clouds for Rapid Scale

15


At Scale Chaos and Failures Are Inevitable

16


So Design for Failure

17


Designing For Failure


Let the Application Handle It’s Own Resiliency

19


Build Loosely-Coupled Distributed Systems

Message Bus


Focus on Scaling Horizontally

Choose Cattle Over Pets

• Pets needs care and feeding– Name the VM

– Tune and groom regularly

– Feed pets with good food and supplements

– Take pets to the vet when they are sick

• Cattle are disposable– Cloud instances are not unique– Tune and groom apps not the cattle– Replace when necessary– Shoot the cattle when it is sick


Embrace Automation and Cultural Change

Where OpenStack Fits In


25

Automation and Orchestration of IT Resources


26

Including Hypervisors Like vSphere

• OpenStack Compute is a manager of hypervisors

• OpenStack can manage multiple hypervisors– https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/HypervisorSupportMatrix

By Leveraging Various Open Source Projects


In a Loosely Coupled Architecture


29

To Deliver Self-Service IT Rapidly and At Scale


Building A Hybrid Cloud


31

vSphere Is Foundational

• Best hypervisor for traditional workloads

• On-ramp from virtualized infrastructure to cloud

• Customers have existing investments in vSphere

• Customers want best-fit solutions


32

Co-existence: Infrastructure Silos


33

Integration: Multi-hypervisor OpenStack


34

Best-fit: Hybrid Solution
