Thinking Out Cloud..

Why it’s critical we get serious about building an Open Cloud Architecture,where “as a Service” is the Default option being adopted by the

broader community to deliver Services to Government

Cloud 101

What’s all this Cloud hoo haa?

@dez_blanchfield

Virtualisation Platforms and Hypervisors, are simply not Clouds

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud, from the Hypervisor up, layers of the stack as a Service

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud, is about leveraging multiple services from multiple clouds

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud 102

What does a Cloud look like?

@dez_blanchfield

Not a Private cloud ( sorry Karl Lagerfeld & Berndnaut-Smilde )

@dez_blanchfield

Actual examples of a Private cloud, all shapes & sizes

@dez_blanchfield

Actual example of a Private cloud, here’s my own one at home ;-)

@dez_blanchfield

Actual example of a Private cloud, off the rack as it were ;-)

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes..

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes..

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes..

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud are being installed in all sorts of interesting places..

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes..

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes..

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes.. Not your average “cloud” !!

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes, 168,000 instances in one box??

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes, 8,000 clouds on Mainframe?!

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes, I the z13 Mainframe !!

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud 103

Why is Cloud so different ?

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud orchestration, waving your arms doesn’t actually count

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud orchestration, what it looks & feels like for sys-admins

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud orchestration, what it actually looks like in logical form

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud orchestration, what can also look like on OpenStack

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud orchestration, Nirvana is when you can offer Self Service

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud 104

Clouds and App Containers ?

@dez_blanchfield

Clouds and Containers, once separate, now natively “built in”..

@dez_blanchfield

Clouds and Containers, stripping out the legacy VM overhead..

@dez_blanchfield

Cloud 105

The true value of Cloud..

@dez_blanchfield

The true Value of Cloud “as a Service”, is above the Hypervisor

99% OF THEVALUE OF CLOUD ISABOVE THEHYPERVISOR

@dez_blanchfield

Above the Hypervisor, humble beginnings, compute & storage

@dez_blanchfield

Above the Hypervisor, we’re not in Kansas any more Toto

@dez_blanchfield

Above the Hypervisor, leveraging Private, Community & Hybrid

@dez_blanchfield

Above the Hypervisor, “cloud natives” - bursting is in their DNA !!

@dez_blanchfield

In AU Government, for ZoomData, these Clouds need not apply

@dez_blanchfield

Above the Hypervisor, “cloud natives”, cloud scaling is normal !!

This is where OpenStack is transforming how we do cloud for software that is now shipping as a “cloud native”..
