The document discusses current trends in cloud computing including the shift to cloud-first strategies, the evolution of the cloud market, and current adoption levels. It also provides advice on developing an effective cloud strategy including focusing on your core competencies rather than trying to manage all aspects of cloud computing internally and considering a multi-cloud approach to avoid vendor lock-in and leverage the optimal cloud for each workload. The presentation also provides examples of how organizations are leveraging the cloud at scale to drive agility, liberate workloads, and manage unprecedented growth.

29. Is your company incorporating a multi-cloud strategy
into your cloud choices and usage?
RightScale Cloud Market Survey, May 2012
30. Plumbing in a Multi and Hybrid Cloud World
Cloudbursting
Best Execution Venue
Cloud services brokering
Cloud brokerage, marketplace
Cloud federation – vertical
markets, PaaS ecosystems
Avoiding lock-in, de-risking –
portability, standards, integration
31. PaaSification
ISVs get it – packaging, integration, mobility
Marketplaces, value creation
Polygot programming: developers
Continuous development/delivery vs traditional models
Private PaaS = benefits of PaaS avoiding the business and
technical risks that come with public cloud computing.
Black Box: Private PaaS allows IT departments to retain control
of security and performance characteristics and provide
developers with an agile environment
Enterprises look to private PaaS as a lever to standardize
application infrastructure.
PaaS as the underlying model for apps built for cloud?
32. But
Hosted PaaS is automated
vendor lock-in
Too many aaS
Way down CIO’s ‘to do’ list
33. IT as a Service - what could happen?
IT departments won’t be needed
IT costs will diminish
Less complexity
Technology will become perpetual services,
not sell and forget
Dominant players will change
Incumbents will be forced into acts of
desperation
The IT vending machine: providing a self-
service utility to your users is entirely possible
34. Cost Center to Service Provider
Enterprise IT Journey:
Cost Center to Service Provider
35. Life sciences: Amazon IaaS, hybrid cloud
Goal: To become an internal cloud hoster
and service provider using public/private
clouds, featuring self service, best
execution venue
Business challenges: Cloud solution:
Save money. Not build new Multiple apps, users and groups
datacenters for near-term, raw capacity on EC2
More predictable cost model Using VPC tactically for massive
Time to results, market scale
Get benefit of public clouds Testing cloud on-ramps to EC2
internally and others clouds (IT ops)
Testing private cloud (IT ops)
36. Trader Media: Cloud service delivery template
Goals:
Project Spitfire to drive service delivery model
Develop new revenue lines faster
Reduce datacenter requirement
Replace with OpenStack, Citrix hybrid
within 3 years
Business challenge: Business benefit:
Provisioning is slow so use RightScale Cost management
and Amazon to spin up new sites Scale up/back and in multiple geos
Remain agnostic
DevOps – no versioning
PaaS? Looking at roll-your own rather
than hosted lock-in Consolidate management ops

Strategy Decision, not a Purchase Decision
• Do understand the new imperatives
• Don’t limit your thinking to just one cloud – deploy
your app on the resource pool best-fit for its specific
set of requirements
• Do focus on what you do best – avoid cloud DIY

Don’t Fall Into the DIY Trap
• Most clouds are a set of APIs
and/or a simple UI to launch
servers – is that what you need?
• These are basic building blocks, not a management system
• How should you spend your time?
• Managing multiple users with different levels of access
• Configuration management and app lifecycle management
• Track usage and costs across applications and business units
• All the general purpose things you need to do like: Monitoring, Alarms,
Auto-scaling, etc
What do you do about IT or development personnel unilaterally
opening a cloud account and deploying an environment?
