Peter Fray, Sr. Solutions Architect Over 25 years of high tech experience in various customer facing roles Experience with a wide range or technologies including software, storage, networking Peter - any certifications to add? Jennifer Gill, Head of Global Product Marketing Over 20 years of technical marketing experience Leadership positions at Platform9, HyperGrid, Zerto, EMC and VCE Recognized for excellence in marketing as part of VCE launch

5 Platform9 Overview Founded in 2013 by a team of VMware engineers with a goal to make it easy to transform any infrastructure into a cloud Recognized for innovative technology $36.5 million has been raised to date 5

6 Our Approach To Cloud Management: SOUL 1. Industry s only SaaS managed offering Unified cloud experience with any infrastructure, for any application stack 2. Open-source innovation & economics Private Cloud Public Cloud 3. Unified cloud experience 4. Leverages existing IT infrastructure Paris New York Tokyo Sunnyvale!6

7 Introduction to Serverless & Fission 7

8 Fission: A New Way To Build Modern Stateless Apps Code, Deploy And Operate Instant Production-Ready Apps. Fission is a full featured Serverless framework for running serverless applications on Kubernetes. Fission lets you easily code, deploy and operate applications that are production-ready from the get-go - without having to learn anything about Kubernetes. 8

9 Fission: Platform9 s Serverless Framework Use Kubernetes and containers without a steep learning curve Write short-lived functions in any language Map functions to triggers (e.g., message queues, timers, HTTP requests) No containers to build No Docker registries Works on any Kubernetes cluster, anywhere Extensible to any language

10 Fission: An open source alternative to AWS Lambda vs AWS started the serverless movement with Lambda, but it locks Developers into AWS ecosystem Pricing lock-in Not multi-cloud or multi-tool friendly. Developers want choice. (eg how to I consume my Kafka stream events in Lambda instead of using Kinesis?) Fission opens up these advantages to everyone on any infrastructure. Its open and extensible and thus enables a wider ecosystem. 10

19 Five Key Serverless Design Patterns 19

20 Use Case Pattern One - Edge Data Processing

21 Use Case Pattern Two - Vertical Specific

22 Use Case Pattern Three - Augment Web Applications

23 Use Case Pattern Four - Front Legacy Applications

24 Use Case Pattern Five - Data Processing

25 Fission Value Proposition 25

26 Fission Unique Value Proposition Simple on-ramp for both devs and ops: up and running in your first hour Fast: cold start optimizations, autoscaling Out of the box support for 10+ languages and 5+ triggers Batteries included: builders, "alt-tab" dev/test cycle, metrics, tracing, canaries (and lots more) Composable: Workflow engine for composing functions 26
