This document summarizes a presentation about building cloud platforms. It discusses defining cloud boundaries, composing the cloud platform with shared middleware services, and optimizing cloud performance through cloud-aware application design and platform services for monitoring, metering, and billing. Quick start use cases are also presented for elastic scaling and consumption-based pricing and billing.

21. National Institute of Standards and
Technology (April 2012)
There are many cloud products in the market place, but
NIST has determined Eucalyptus Enterprise Edition is the
only IaaS cloud management software currently on the
market that is built open source and supports private and
public cloud infrastructure.

22. Enterprise-Grade, Production-Ready
• Why Eucalyptus?
– Most mature platform
– Open source flexibility
– AWS-compatibility
– Deep partner ecosystem
• Customers Experience:
– On-demand, self-service IT
– Faster provisioning times
– Better ability to handle workloads
– Easier control over datacenters

23. Defining Cloud Boundaries
Web Application Cloud Application
• Synchronous request-reply • Asynchronous interaction
interaction • Queues and workers
• Centralized state (i.e. single • Scale out across datacenters
database) and session and providers
management • Distributed state and session
• Clustered server instances management
• Silo architecture • Autonomous service instances
• Tenant context personalization
• Shared JVM / Shared Schema
• Shared nothing architecture

24. Defining Cloud Boundaries
• Distributed Topology
– Latency
– Stateless, autonomous services
– Instrumented, redundant, and expecting failure
• Efficient resource pooling
– Consumption aware and multi-tenant
– Automated, continuous
• Scale
– Asynchronous, event driven callbacks
– Parallelizable, workload decomposition, and idempotent
• On-demand self service
– Personalization extensibility points
– Fine grained, modular
– Template driven

32. Quick Start Use Cases
Service level management and elastic scale
• Use cases
– Ensure application satisfies consumer demand while
maximizing resource utilization
• Scale workload processing and increase performance while
minimizing infrastructure spend
– Load test application service
– Demonstrate multi-tenant web application
• Key Metrics
– Minimum and maximum scale
– Scale frequency (i.e. time to scale up/down)

33. Quick Start Use Cases
Consumption based pricing and billing
• Use cases
– View service logs
– View bill by business value
• Key Metric
– Cost to operate application per user or transaction
