Intel IT has been using OpenStack for 3 years to power its private cloud infrastructure. It started with a 60,000 server private cloud to support design workloads (Gen1). It then transitioned to OpenStack in 2012 to build a more full-featured IaaS (Gen2) serving cloud-aware apps on 1,500 VMs across 2 datacenters. Intel IT's strategic direction is a federated, interoperable, and open hybrid cloud. It is working to connect all existing infrastructure to a single OpenStack control plane and enable live migration between private and public clouds. Adopting OpenStack required changes to IT culture, skills, and processes to support agile cloud operations.
Software Defined Environment - IBM Point of ViewClaude Riousset
The document discusses Software Defined Environments (SDE) which provide an approach to automating IT infrastructure through software. An SDE abstracts and virtualizes infrastructure resources, allowing applications to automatically define their requirements. This enables infrastructure that is simplified, adaptive, and responsive to changing business needs. SDEs provide agility, efficiency, and performance for modern workloads through fully programmable, integrated, and elastic resources available on demand. The document outlines how SDEs benefit both infrastructure operators and application developers by improving IT economics, security, and the speed of deploying new solutions.

Software Defined Environment - In one click get the Dev/QA/Staging EnvironmentVenu Murthy
Get the Development, QA, Staging or Production Environment you need at the click of a button.
The current situation:
It wouldn’t be a bold statement to say that all software’s ultimate goal is to enhance the customer experience. How many times have we not read such comments on app stores or heard business say?
“Great app, but I can only give it three stars until the developers add ...”
But the Development team’s side of the story is
“I am waiting for the environment to test the code with new features”
Continuous Delivery and Continuous Integration can help release software updates more frequently and with almost no manual intervention, but there are some bottlenecks to being able to do this. Following are a few: -
Delay in getting the Environments
Lack of self-provisioning creates dependency on IT department.
Lack of easily customizable Environments
For Development, Testing and Staging with new features or updates to dependencies.
Manual Provisioning of Environments
Being repetitive and involving several steps, we would not be able to leverage the power of Automated Deployments and CI.
And the hilarious but unfortunately true risk of
“Oh! But it works on my laptop!”
Not being able to recreate the environments easily and consistently can lead to not being able to recreate performance issues or release code or updates to production confidently!
Inconsistent environments could result in such scenarios as a new update has been released to the production system and the system Admin might have put in the configuration or dependencies that only he or she is aware of to get the app working. Similarly the developer might have put in the unique settings on his or her laptop to get the code working on his or her workstation or laptop. Due to which every server becomes “works of art” and as unique as snowflakes. Needless to say inconsistent environments make it very difficult to determine why an application breaks when it's promoted to the next environment. Wasting the Developer and Operation teams time in determining if an issue is due to the source code or environment configuration.
What is an Environment?
It is not just an image or template of a virtual machine but all the compute, storage, network and several other resources (XaaS) that are required to host your application. Quite simply put, everything you can find inside the server room!
Environments on Demand at the click of a button
A solution that could give the Development, QA, Staging or Production Environment at the click of a button could remove all the bottlenecks and risks that we had discussed earlier and at the same time orchestrate Software-Defined Compute, Networking, Storage, Security and such to provide a smart infrastructure that is aware of resources needed by the application and is adaptive and responsive to the workloads dues to fluctuating business demand. All this while being easy to customise and simple

11. Vision: Federated, Interoperable, Open Hybrid Cloud
• Federated: IT manages one set of identities,
authorizations, and set of security review
processes. Users get seamless integration with
systems and apps.
• Interoperable: Standard service orchestration
and management, enabling elastic operation and
flexibility, while minimizing lock-in.
• Open: Includes open source and open
standards. Common APIs and abstraction layers
to rapidly consume cloud services among
providers.

Very close to our year 5 goal
17. Key Concepts
• Abstract users from underlying Cloud providers while exposing key HW
features
• Support multiple cloud providers, both private and public
• Common identity and entitlement services for reuse across interfaces
• Open Source first, minimize proprietary API lock-in
• Minimize internal technical debt, be part of the community to scale
• Stay pragmatic, as we expand – not always 100% greenfield
• Support cloud-aware and traditional apps
18. Technical Strategy (AS IS)

Why Intel IT Selected OpenStack for its IaaS Control Plane
• Velocity:
− Yields direct control over the capabilities that business demands and is forward-
leaning in terms of application / service development, delivery, and operations
− Geared toward Agile Methodologies, DevOps, and Continuous Integration /
Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) & Deployment
• Capability:
− OpenStack automation platform which is defined by its APIs
− Provide granular on-demand services which seed innovation by satisfying simple-
to-complex use cases to deliver at the pace business demands
• Efficiency & Quality:
− We leverage the same tool-chain used by the OpenStack community for developing,
building, validating, and deploying our data center operating system

22. Areas to Close for Enterprise
Keep VMs up for traditional/legacy apps:
1. Shared Block Storage – for boot volumes, and data
2. Live Migration for maintenance of hosts – working in some implementations
3. Restart of instances when host fails
4. Disaster Recovery
5. Connect to Infrastructure where this already works
Enable a federated Hybrid cloud environment:
1. End users interface allowing for seamless use across zones, regions, and across clouds
2. Identity federated across instances and clouds
3. Orchestration across global/multiple instances
Highly Available Infrastructure Services (cloud built as cloud)
Rolling Upgrades – initial improvements in Icehouse
