Architecting the Cloud – Agenda
Provide an overview of the process for architecting cloud computing at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory
Discuss our experiences in developing/implementing cloud computing, driven by the architecture
Discuss lessons learned and plans for the future

Pathway into the Cloud
Cloud technology maturing faster than skills can keep up
Start with “small experiments” in the cloud and evolve Allows easier adoption of emerging technologies Supports development of cloud-unique skills and capabilities
Bottom Line: “Grow Your Own” rather than “Buy” experts Learn “hard lessons” from other trail-blazers

Business Value
Delivering Business Value Partnering with Internal Mission Organizations Collaborating with Peer Organizations Service Management – Built In from Beginning
Small Experiments - Real Capabilities
Increased agility and ability for business areas to respond to sponsor needs
Cost Savings Savings in Building Costs No-Charge Model for Services
– Mission areas see reduced cost by transfer of responsibilities
– Limits full cost/benefit analysis across organizations
12
Goals of 2013/14 Cloud Exploration
Work out legal, compliance, security issues
Act as a cloud broker where appropriate
Gain practical technical experience for staff
Develop template use cases for common
situations
Create a permanent test bed – “our space station in
the cloud”
Learn about real costs, limitations and benefits

If you build It, they will come…
At least when it is FREE!

Current/Future Initiatives
Service: Orchestrator (hybrid cloud management) Backups OpenSource
Emerging Technology: DMZ Cloud Amazon/Commercial Cloud Cloud Brokering Network Upgrades (In support of commercial cloud interoperability)
What does “done” look like? Moving from Experiments to Operations Focus
16
In Summary
Working to realize the promised benefits of Cloud Computing
Developing skills and lessons-learned through “small experiments” and collaboration with FFRDCs
Succeed or Fail, but do it FAST! Build in Service Management
Staying aligned to APL’s Strategy Cloud Roadmap
APL’s Cloud Computing Project is leveraging
Emerging Technology to meet Operational Needs
