  10. (Some) Elastic Cloud Patterns ! ! ! What follows are *some* Elastic Cloud Patterns! There are many more, but these are mine! Input, ideas, & other thoughts welcome via twitter / email 10
  11. Big Failure Domains ! Make Big Craters 11
  12. Big Failure Domains ! Make Big Craters 12 Anti-Pattern Anti-Pattern
  13. Smaller Failure Domains 13 Would you rather have the whole cloud down ! or just a small bit of it for a short time? vs
  14. Loose Coupling 14 Synchronous, blocking calls mean cascading failures. Async, non-block calls mean failure in isolation.
  15. Open Source Software 15 Excessive software taxation is the past. Black boxes create lock-in. You can ! always fork.
  16. Uptime in Software Self-management 16 Hardware fails.! Software fails.! People fail. Only software can measure itself & respond to failure in near real-time. Applications designed for 99.999% uptime can run anywhere
  17. Scale Out vs Scale up 17 Vertical Scaling 
 Make boxes bigger 
 (usually an HA pair) Horizontal Scaling
 Make more boxes
 A A ➔ ➔ B B ...A B C N
  18. Circuit Breaker Pattern 18 Fallback mechanisms (e.g. cached data) 
 ensure uninterrupted service while giving service time to recover When failing service detected, stop calling that API and serve fallback responses
  19. Buy from ODMs 19 ODMs operate their businesses on 3-10% margins. AMZN, GOOG, and Facebook buy direct without a middleman. Only a few enterprise vendors are pivoting to compete.
  20. Less Enterprise “Value” in x86 Servers 20 Generic servers rule. Full stop. Nothing is better because nothing else is *generic*. “... a data center full of vanity free servers ... more efficient ... less expensive to build and run ... “ - OCP
  21. Fully Routed (L3) Networking 21 The largest cloud operators all run layer-3 routed, networks with no VLANs. Cloud-ready apps don’t need or want VLANs. Enterprise apps can be supported on elastic clouds using Software-defined Networking (SDN)
  22. Software-defined Networking (SDN) 22 • x86 server is the new Linecard" • network switch is the new ASIC" • VXLAN (or NVGRE) is the new Chassis" • SDN Controller is the new SUP Engine “Network Virtualization”
  23. Flat Networking + SDNs 23 Flat + SDN co-exist & thrive together Standard Security Group 1 2 Availability Zone VM VM VM VM VM VM Virtual L2 Network VM VMVM Virtual Private Cloud Networking VPC Security Group Internet VPC Gateway Physical Node
  24. RAIS instead of HA Pairs/Clusters Redundant arrays of inexpensive services (RAIS)! Load balanced with no state sharing! Active … active … active … active … ! On failure, connections are lost, but failures are rare! Rolling upgrades are easier, because each server is an island! Think: scale-out + fault isolation (sharding)! Ridiculously simple & scalable! Hardware failures are infrequent & impact subset of traffic! (N-F)/N, where N = total, F = failed! 10 RAIS servers - 1 failure == 90% capacity! Most things retry anyway! Cascade failures are unlikely and failure domains are small 24
  25. Service Array (RAIS) Example 25 Backbone Routers Cloud Access Switches AZ (Spine) Switches RAIS (NAT, LB, VPN) OSPF Route Announcements Return Traffic (default or source NAT) API Public IP Blocks Cloud Control Plane
  26. Lots of Inexpensive 1RU Switches 26 1RU: 6K-30K VMs / AZ Simple spine-and-leaf flat routed network Rack 1 Rack 2 Rack 3 Modular: 40K-200K VMs / AZ Rack 1 Rack 2 Multiple Racks Rack 1 Rack 2 Multiple Racks Rack 1 Rack 2 Multiple Racks
  27. Direct-attached Storage (DAS) 27 Cloud-ready apps manage their own data replication. DAS is the smallest failure domain possible with reasonable storage I/O. SAN == massive failure domain. SSDs will be the great equalizer.
  28. Elastic Block Device Services 28 EBS/EBD is a crutch Bigger failure domains 
 (AWS outage anyone?), complex, sets high expectations Sometimes you need a crutch. When you do, overbuild the network, and make sure you have a smart scheduler. AWS EBS Outage! http://aws.amazon.com/message/65648/
  29. More Servers == More Storage I/O 29 >1M writes/second, triple- redundancy w/ Cassandra on AWS Linear scale-out == linear costs for performance
  30. Hypervisors are a Commodity 30 Cloud end-users want OS of choice, not HVs. Level up! Managing iron is for mainframe operators." … hypervisors are bare metal APIs Hypervisor of the future is open source, easily modifiable, & extensible.
