DESCRIPTION
A presentation that I will be giving at a series of customer events being held jointly by EMC and Rackspace. The presentation will be updated as needed.TRANSCRIPT
Redefining The Hybrid Cloud
OpenStack and the EMC Federation

Kenneth Hui: Who Am I?
A Tale Of Two Workloads
Workload Dictates Architecture
5
Transitioning to the 3rd Platform
2nd Platform Workloads
2nd Platform Design Principles
Monolithic architectureStateful Services
Operator focusedSteady-state/ Predictable
2nd Platform Infrastructure Consumption Models
On-Premises Infrastructure Off-Premises Hosting
Design Goal: Resilient Infrastructures
3rd Platform Workloads
3rd Platform Design Principles
Distributed architecture
Developer focused
Stateless Services
Unpredictable/ Spikey
3rd Platform Infrastructure Consumption Models
Public Cloud Private Cloud
Design Assumption: Fragile Infrastructures
What’s Wrong with the Cloud?
We Architect Clouds for Rapid Scale
At Rapid Scale Chaos and Failures Are Inevitable
So Design for Failure
Designing For Failure
Let the Application Handle It’s Own Resiliency
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
27
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 2nd Platform workloads
• On-ramp from 2nd to 3rd Platform
• Customers have existing investments in vSphere
• Customers want best-fit solutions
32
Co-existence: Infrastructure Silos
33
Integration: Multi-hypervisor OpenStack
34
Integration: EMC Federation with OpenStack
35
Multi-Cloud Hybrid Solution
OpenStackvSphere
Where To Go From Here
37
Next Steps
Embrace collaboration and cultural changes
Understand your business requirements
Catalog your current and future workloads
Choose the right architecture and tools
Choose the right partners
