Essential Understanding“The cloud lets its “... get into the [Google] mind-users focus on set ... robustness ... has to bedelivering designed into your software ...differentiating assume that the hardware [is] ...business value ... ” unreliable and broken ... at any point.”-- Werner Vogels, Amazon CTO -- Adrian Cockcroft, Netﬂix Chief Cloud Architect 10

Amazon Web Services (a guiding light) 11

Why is AWS Different?

AWS uses non-Enterprise IT patterns IT Pattern EnterpriseSLA Target (Uptime) 99.999% (pretend) 99.95% (realistic)SLA Actual 99.9% (if lucky) 99.99% (or more)Scaling Vertical HorizontalHardware Vanity Hardware Commodity HardwareHA Type Use hardware and pray Use software and plan for failureSoftware Arch Centralized & brittle Decentralized and isolated fault domainsConsumption Model Call the help desk Self-service 14

1990’s “Big App” in the Enterprise100K end users? 15

2010’s “Big App” on the Internet 800M+end users 16

“Enterprise-class” isn’tgood enough any more

Cloud Computing is the new IT -an IT that is massive scale for utility use Mainframe Enterprise Cloud 18

Operational Excellence

Open Clouds?Combination of: Open Network (Internet) Open APIs (AWS? OpenStack API?) Open Source (OpenStack, Hadoop, Cassandra) Open Hardware (Open Compute) Open Standards (TBD?)No single ownerMeaning ... Federation, interoperability, and leverage 25

OpenStack Momentum • >50,000 downloads • 600+ Summit attendees • 1,200+ active participants In use today at scale • RAX running storage at >30PB • NASA at >20,000 VMs • Govt Agency running 600+ nodes • Govt Agency using it for HPC • KT / INAP at >2.5 PB storage • HP - 1000 nodes, >2 PB • Mercado Libre - 5,000 VMs 26

Call to Arms 27

Action Plan #1 - How to Build ITLearn from the pioneers AMZN & GOOG, not VMW Next generation vendors Scale engineering & operational excellenceOpen Clouds are the future Open source is key Skate to where puck will be 28

Action Plan #2 - How the Gov Can Help Support Open Initiatives: OpenStack, Open Compute, etc. Press AMZN to Open License their APIs What if Gov only talked to open licensed APIs? Avoids lock-in and opens market to competition Demand open cloud solutions in bids 29
