- The document discusses next generation server architecture in the cloud, including automated management of cloud applications across different cloud platforms using RightScale technologies. - Key benefits of RightScale's approach include saving time and reducing complexity through dynamic server configuration that allows deploying a single server model across multiple environments, as well as complete lifecycle management. - A demonstration showed how RightScale server templates can be used to automatically deploy and manage applications in the cloud from initial launch through maintenance and decommissioning.

1. Best Practices in the Cloud: Next Generation Server Architecture November 11, 2008

2. Your Panel Today Michael Crandell - CEO Josh Fraser – VP, Business Development Martin Rhoads – Sr. Integration Engineer On Q&A: Matthew Small – Sr. Account Manager Eugene Gimelberg – Sr. Software Engineer

3. Agenda Welcome to RightScale Next Generation Server Architecture Demonstration Q&A – Getting Started Please use chat to ask questions anytime!

4. On-demand Pay-as-you-go Virtual infinite Surpasses traditional hosting Multiple server sizes: ½ core to 8 cores Reassign IPs / VIPs Multiple failure zones and geographies Disk Volumes Cloud interoperability Cloud Computing

5. Cloud Management Platform AUTOMATED MANAGEMENT COMPONENT LIBRARIES EXPERTISE & SUPPORT Cloud Applications Amazon FlexiScale Rackspace GoGrid Other Clouds RightScale EXPERTISE RIGHTSCRIPTS MYSQL MGR WEB SITE GRID

6. Agile = automate and benefit! From boot to production on auto-pilot Across different stacks & different clouds Auto-failover, auto-restart, auto-scale “ Deploy faster, better, and cheaper than your competitors” Agile Deployment

7. Next Generation Server Architecture “ Cloud-ready” servers M o re than just running a bundled image Dynamic vs. static configuration Leverage one server model across different deployments Replicable design Complete lifecycle management … version control RightScale ServerTemplates

8. Base OS image plus the intelligence to run RightScripts Boot, Operational and Decommission Scripts Configure instances during boot time including installing software and passing environment variables Reconfiguration with Operational scripts Decommission scripts Library of RightScale and Partner Templates or create your own RightScale ServerTemplates

9. ServerTemplates to create a redundant MySQL database setup RightScripts: Launch a new Master from scratch and restore from S3 Launch a new Slave and start replication and backups to S3 Master died: promote Slave to Master and launch a new Slave Slave died: launch a new Slave Attach EBS volume and being snapshots Manager for MySQL

10. A Day in the Life of a Developer Needs to deploy his code to a set of running instances in the cloud so others can use it Create a deployment Make a change and re-deploy Oops—need to roll-back … versioning Clone the deployment Maintenance
