What is Extensible Strategy?
• Integrate and extend
• Leverages existing processes and tools
• Managing upward and outward
• Scales to add new cloud types
• Holistic approach
Challenges
• Common mistakes
• Starting too small or too big
• Waiting too long to figure out a strategy
• Attempting too much at once
• Not determining a clear leader
• Consequences
• Inefficient
• Not scalable
• Not agile
• Unprepared for the future
Security
• Who and what?
• Extend security policies into
cloud
• Driven by your directory
• Single sign-on
• Auditing
Cost controls
• Monitoring usage of cloud is a
new world
• Controls and chargeback
• Cloud sprawl is real
Meeting service levels
• Delivering VMs
• Delivering cloud resources
• Delivering applications
• Automating infrastructure and
applications
• Tools and APIs
Capacity planning and management
• Cloud usage and Trends
– Users
– Cloud resources
• Activity uniqueness
• Concurrent and interactions
• Private Infrastructure and public
resources
Monitoring
• Leverage existing monitoring
systems and processes
• Application level vs host level
• For private clouds, health of
the cloud layer
• Container monitoring
ITSM/Policies
• Remedy and ServiceNow
• Cloud resources fit into
existing ITSM structure?
• New policies or repurpose
existing flows for virtual
resources
• Budgetary restrictions vs
access limitations?
• How about a hybrid or multi-
cloud environment?
Preparing for a multi/hybrid cloud world
• Challenge gets compounded
with a hybrid cloud
• Foundation set to scale
• Now or later?
