2 Clouds don t come with an auto-pilot 2

3 IT Problem: Scale Explosion Mainframe Client / Server 1990 Datacenter 2000 Cloud 2010

4 Chances they all have the same settings? 4

5 IT Problem: Complexity Explosion Simple Conceptual View 5

6 IT Problem: Complexity Explosion 6

7 IT Today: Stuck Pre-Industrial Revolution Manufacturing before the Ford Model-T 7 Manual and hand-crafted Tightly bound to individual skills Reproducibility? Quality? High defect/error rate Magic configurations Expensive and slow

8 IT Needs an Industrial Revolution Apply industrialized processes to IT operations 8 Use machines instead of manual labor Assemble with standardized parts Break large and complicated processes into smaller and easier sub-processes Apply specialized and general labor accordingly (engineers vs. assembly workers) Deliver agility and responsiveness

9 Clouds Do Not Operate Themselves! Cloud service Management Business support Customer Mgmt. Service Layer (IaaS) Compute Volume Identity Image Object Network Account/Billing Pricing/Audit Inventory Provisioning/Conf Provisioning Resource Abstraction Storage Virtualization Operating System Network Virtualization Hypervisor Control Layer Access Control Monitoring Resource Allocation Configuration Physical Metering 9 Inventory Compute Storage Network Portability/ Interoperability HVAC Power Facility

10 Why use Crowbar? 10 Crowbar takes DevOps to the Cloud Automates infrastructure provisioning and deployment Highly customizable deployment

11 Alternatives Hand Assembled or Homegrown Slow ROI Long term maintenance Business liability Not standardized Very expensive Chef, Puppet, Cfengine Some lack a successful track record Some limited in configuration capabilities Lock-in risk if developed by single entity 11 Other Open Source Proprietary Commercial Juju, Razr, Xcat, Cobbler Difficult/impossible to integrate/extend Vendor-lock in Lack of ecosystem Very costly HP Server auto, HP Cluster Mgt. IBM Platform, StackIQ OpenStack Installers Narrowly focused Installers No ability to operate environment beyond install Sales tool Alamo, Fuel, Airframe, Triple-O/Ironic

12 How Crowbar Assembles the Cloud

13 CloudOps: The Cloud Frontier Cloud Ops 13 Elastic and oversubscribed Stable AND dynamic Maximum utilization! Crowbar Benefits Delivery of Cloud services as needed Managed resilience Rapid recovery from node failures Automated and dependable DevOps and CloudOps

14 Core Concepts 14 DevOps / Reference Deploy Open Operations / Best Practice Late Binding > Continuous Deploy Layered / Interconnected Orchestration Network Abstraction for DevOps Physical Infrastructure is Complex (Net, NIC, RAID, Admin, etc)

15 Assembly is Layered and Ordered Crowbar Ops Management APIs, User Access, & Ecosystem Partners 15 Includes all the components required to implement an entire cloud infrastructure including ecosystem partners Cloud Infrastructure & Vendor Extensions Pluggable components deploy cloud infrastructure Allows for addition of proprietary IP and expansion by the community services and customers Core Components & Operating Systems Can integrate with existing proprietary products Delivers basic data center services and required cloud infrastructure. Physical Resources Provision bare-metal servers from box to cloud WITHOUT user intervention (other than racking/cabling and some minimal configuration questions)

16 Layers Beyond OpenStack Crowbar APIs, User Access & Ecosystem Partners Cloud Infrastructure OS, Updates, Monitoring Rack, BIOS, RAID 16

17 Crowbar: The CloudOps Choice Benefits Proven Tech Reduces deployment effort and overheads Multi-node deployments from the ground up Provides operation control model Every node is automatically custom built on demand Fast: Raw server Cloud in <2 Hours Open Source Solution not Dell hardware limited 17

18 Crowbar Plus OpenStack Boxes to working OpenStack in <2 hours Crowbar s birthright was as an OpenStack installer OpenStack is complex To create an OpenStack project, needed: 18 To get cloud sites running quickly Cope with frequent updates Connect many moving parts Be part of the open source community Crowbar can deploy OpenStack (Grizzly, Havana) Hadoop Applications
