CONTINUUM OF CUSTOMER NEEDS

DatacenterVirtualization

Private IaaS /Private Cloud

Hybrid IaaS /Hybrid Cloud

TRADITIONAL WORKLOADS ● Stateful VMs, application defined in VM● Big VMs: vCPU, vRAM, local storage inside

VM● Application SLA = SLA of VM

● SLA requires enterprise virtualization features to keep VMs highly available

● Lifecycle measured in years● VMs scale up: add vCPU, vRAM, etc.● Applications not designed to tolerate failure

of VMs

CLOUD WORKLOADS ● Stateless VMs, application distributed● Small VMs: vCPU, vRAM, storage separate● Application SLA not dependent on any one

VM● SLA requires ability to create and destroy

VMs where needed● Lifecycle measured in hours to months● Applications scale out: add more VMs● Applications designed to tolerate failure of

VMs

● Delivers an Open Cloud Management Platform that Supports Heterogeneous Private, Public and Hybrid Clouds

● Enables Evolution from Proprietary Infrastructures to Open, Hybrid Clouds

● Enables IT to Deliver IAAS and Broker Cloud Services, Optimize Resources and Reduce Costs

● Manages Service Deployment across Hybrid Clouds Using Policies, SLAs and Cost

● Provides Rich Integration into Existing Enterprise Management Systems and Processes

Roadmap Background

● CloudForms = BUILD AND MANAGE OPEN HYBRID CLOUDS THE RIGHT WAY

● ManageIQ was acquired by RedHat in December 2012

● CloudForms 1.1 is no longer

● Manage IQ EVM is NOW CloudForms 2.0

● Red Hat is committed to the ongoing support of the published supported platforms (including VMWare platforms)

● New versions of Red Hat published supported infrastructure (RHEV) will be supported on the day the product goes GA

● ovirt_metrics: ActiveRecord-based gem for reading the oVirt History database (71 download in 2 days)

●TBD ●TBD

● CloudForms will be release to Open Source in its entirety; The timeline is being worked on at the time this presentation was built.●CloudForms is composed of multiple components often tightly integrated and relying one on another.● The initial open sourcing approach is to identify each of those components, isolate them so they can be developed and evolved stand alone, then release them to the Open Source community.● The timeline below will be evolved as the strategy gets finalized.● Red Hat OSAS engaged to work on identifying the “Go-To Open Sourcing strategy”
