Editor's Notes
- #2 High performance architecture is rapidly changing due to three fundamental drivers:Cloud-Native Platforms - change the way we think about operational infrastructureDevOps - changes application lifecycle practicesAPIs - change how we integrate and evolve infrastructure and applications, especially Mobile apps In this session, Chris will illustrate: Why you should consider Cloud-Native architecture components in your Enterprise ArchitectureWhat is DevOps impact on App and API design guidelinesHow API-centric focus revises Enterprise Architecture
- #6 In the abstract, business agility can be defined as your ability to rapidly change business vectors. A business vector is your business speed and direction. The direction may lead into nIew markets and new products, or engaging with new participants. Reducing time to IT solution delivery increases your team’s ability to adjust the business vector and match business opportunity.With adequate instrumentation, IT delivery agility can be quantified. Consider the following agility metric recommendations:Time to create project workspaceTime to build, integrate, testTime to approve, promoteTime to deploy, releaseDwell time – time waiting for the next operation to commence or completeAfter application project inception and before coding commences, systems administrators must create project workspaces. How long does your team wait before gaining access to source code management repositories, requirement management projects, and defect tracking projects?Moving code through build, integration, and test tools is often a time and labor-intensive process. The entire team waits while applications assets are built, integrated, and tested. When teams use iterative development processes, the wait time aggregates over several hundred or thousands cycles. How long does your team wait during build, integration, and test phases?When one team member finishes a task and the work enters an approval phase, how long does the team wait? After the work is approved to move through phase gate, how long before the project is promoted into the next phase?

- #11 Architects are interested in delivering measurable business value, shielding IT personnel from complex dependencies, and deliver a productive development and operations (i.e. DevOps) environment. The following PaaS capabilities are used to achieve these objectives:DevOps ToolingAutomated GovernanceService Level ManagementConsumption based pricing “Cloud consumers of PaaS can employ the tools and execution resources provided by cloud providers to develop, test, deploy and manage the applications hosted in a cloud environment. PaaS consumers can be application developers who design and implement application software, application testers who run and test applications in cloud-based environments, application deployers who publish applications into the cloud, and application administrators who configure and monitor application performance on a platform. PaaS consumers can be billed according to, processing, database storage and network resources consumed by the PaaS application, and the duration of the platform usage.”Source: http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-cloud-computing/pub/CloudComputing/ReferenceArchitectureTaxonomy/NIST_SP_500-292_-_090611.pdf“For PaaS, the Cloud Provider manages the computing infrastructure for the platform and runs the cloud software that provides the components of the platform, such as runtime software execution stack, databases, and other middleware components. The PaaS Cloud Provider typically also supports the development, deployment and management process of the PaaS Cloud Consumer by providing tools such as integrated development environments (IDEs), development version of cloud software, software development kits (SDKs), deployment and management tools. The PaaS Cloud Consumer has control over the applications and possibly some the hosting environment settings, but has no or limited access to the infrastructure underlying the platform such as network, servers, operating systems (OS), or storage.”Source: http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-cloud-computing/pub/CloudComputing/ReferenceArchitectureTaxonomy/NIST_SP_500-292_-_090611.pdf
- #12 Cloud platforms exhibiting Cloud Native PaaS architecture provide an opportunity to increase business innovation and creativity. Cloud native platform solutions shield teams from infrastructure details and inject new behavior into the application.Cloud native PaaS architecture requires infrastructure innovation in provisioning, service governance, management, deployment, load-balancing, policy enforcement, and tenancy. Cloud native, innovative provisioning infrastructure increases tenant density and streamlines code deployment and synchronization. Multi-tenancy within middleware containers enables teams to customize applications and services per consumer by changing run-time configuration settings instead of provisioning new instances.A Cloud platform may automate governance and enforce policies (i.e. security, service level management, usage) through enterprise PaaS services. Cloud provisioning may fulfill enterprise deployment requirements across all service providers and technologies used by solution delivery teams.To re-invent the platform and achieve benefits, new Cloud Native platform architectural components and services are required. Traditional client-server and N-tier web application architectures do not exhibit requisite cloud characteristics (i.e. elastic scalability, multi-tenancy, resource pooling, or self-service). Figure 1 below depicts the new Cloud Platform architectural components and services. The PaaS controller layer deploys, scales, monitors, and manages an elastic middleware Cloud. PaaS Foundation services provide common solution building blocks. A complete, comprehensive, and Cloud-aware middleware container layer delivers new cloud-aware capabilities to business applications.The middleware container layer should not be tightly coupled to the PaaS foundation. Acartridge or droplet pattern is used to support running any application or service container on the PaaS. By providing a cartridge plug-point, Cloud Native PaaS environments can run any language, framework, or server (after appropriate integration via the cartridge API and agents).Elastic Load BalancerElastic Load Balancer (ELB) balances load across cloud service instances on-premise or in the cloud. The ELB should provide multi-tenancy, fail-over, and auto-scaling of services in line with dynamically changing load characteristics. Cloud Native Elastic Load Balancers are tenant-aware, service-aware, partition-aware, and region-aware. They can direct traffic based on the consuming tenant or target service. Cloud Native Elastic Load Balancers manage traffic across diverse topologies (i.e. private partitions, shared partitions, hybrid cloud), and direct traffic according to performance, cost, and resource pooling policies. A Cloud Native ELB is tightly integrated with the Service Load monitor component and dynamically adjusts to topology changes. Service Load MonitorThe Service Load Monitor component acquires load information from multiple sources (e.g. app servers, load balancers) and communicates utilization and performance information to an Elastic Load Balancer responsible for distributing requests to the optimal instances, based on tenant association, load balancing policies, service level agreements, and partitioning policies. When the level of abstraction is raised above Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) instances, Teams no longer have direct access to specific virtual machines. New Cloud Native components are required to flexibly distribute applications, services, and APIs across a dynamic topology. A Cloud Controller, Artifact Distribution Server, and Deployment Synchronizer perform DevOp activities (i.e. continuous deployment, instance provisioning, automated scaling) without requiring a hard, static binding to run-time instances.Cloud ControllerA Cloud Native Cloud Controller (or auto-scaler) component creates and removes cloud instances (virtual machines or Linux containers) based on input from the Load Monitor component. The Cloud Controller right-sizes the instance number to satisfy shifting demand, and conforms instance scaling with quota and reservation thresholds (i.e. minimum instance count, maximum instance count). The Cloud Native Cloud Controller may provision instances on top of bare metal machines, hypervisors, or Infrastructure as a Service offerings (e.g. Amazon EC2, OpenStack, Eucalyptus).Artifact Distribution ServerThe Artifact Distribution Server takes complete applications (i.e. application code, services, mediation flows, business rules, and APIs) and breaks the composite bundle into per-instance components, which are then loaded into instances by a Deployment Synchronizer. The Artifact Distribution Server maintains a versioned repository of run-time artifacts and their association with Cloud service definitions.Deployment SynchronizerThe Deployment Synchronizer checks out and deploys the right code for each Cloud application platform instance (e.g. application server, Enterprise Service Bus, API Gateway). With infrastructure and servers abstracted and encapsulated by the Cloud, a Cloud Native PaaS Management Console allows control of tenant partitions, services, quality of service, and code deployment by either Web UI or command-line tooling.Cloud Native PaaS Architecture Business BenefitsCloud Native PaaS architecture accelerates innovation, increases operational efficiency, and reduces cost.The traditional, keep-the-lights-on, operational run-rate consumes precious resources and limits innovative new projects. By optimizing project footprint across pooled resources on a shared Cloud Native PaaS infrastructure, Responsive IT can reduce operational spend, improve total cost of ownership (TCO), and make more projects financially viable. Multi-tenant delivery models create an efficient delivery environment and significant lower solution deployment cost. For more information on the financial benefits of multi-tenant, Cloud Native platforms, read the white paper.By building a Cloud Native PaaS environment, you provide your teams with a platform to rapidly develop solutions that address connected business use cases (i.e. contextual business delivery, ecosystem development, mobile interactions).

- #17 Apply DevOps activities across software development life-cycle phases (i.e. design, develop, test, build, deploy, manage). Teams use DevOps tools and processes to manage application construction and maintenance tasks. Iterative, incremental, continuous, automated, self-service
- #18 DevOps ToolingDevOps tooling creates an environment fostering collaboration between development and operations team members. Practice and tooling enable teams to implement self-service configuration, automated provisioning, policy configuration, and process automation practices which bridge the design, build, deploy, and manage phases within the software development life-cycle. By integrating DevOps tooling with on-demand resource instances, teams can reduce time to market and increase agility. A PaaS should not create another silo. The PaaS should Integratewith on-premise software development life-cycle toolingIntegratewith on-premise automated service governance tooling and policy repositories
- #20 Agile and DevOps principles must be applied across a cross-functional team and the entire lifecycle (e.g. project inception, design, development, deployment, and management).Operations activities related to deployment and release management often hinders agility and time-to-market. The level of effort required to deploy a real-world application is often non-trivial. Continuous deployment technology automates operations activities and replaces manual intervention.While dwell time sounds cozy and refreshing, excessive wait states and downtime between activities diminishes team efficiency and engagement. Automated notifications eliminate dwell time between hand-offs. Automated project workspace creation, Cloud environment provisioning, and on-demand self-service access reduces wait time between software development phases.A DevOps focus on continuous activity execution (e.g. continuous build, continuous integration, continuous test, continuous delivery) creates a ‘no wait’ environment. Teams do not have to wait for the next script to run or for the next activity to commence. By incorporating automation into developer and operations processes, teams bypass time consuming manual tasks and gain faster phase execution. Both DevOps and PaaS promote simple, on-demand self-service environments that shield team members from complexity and reduce skill hurdles. By offering on-demand self-service access, rapid business innovation and experimentation is possible. By reducing complexity, team members are not required to obtain special training and skills before consuming IT services and infrastructure.To read more about Enterprise DevOps PaaS accelerating team agility, read a recent blog post.

- #22 Traditional application PaaS (aPaaS) environments do not help organizations build apps, but simply serve as a cloud run-time environment. DevOps PaaS brings no waits, faster phase execution, widespread accessibility, rapid grassroots innovation, and increased resource availability to IT projects.DevOps PaaS delivers development, test, and production run-time clouds that are integrated into development workspaces containing source code management, defect tracking, requirements management, test automation frameworks, and continuous build. Figure 2 describes the infrastructure topology underlying a DevOps PaaS.By automating software activities, workflow, and phase approval gates, a DevOps PaaS decreases software development and delivery times. A rapid IT timeframe closely matching today’s fast business-pace will accelerate revenue growth and enhance customer retention rates. A New IT model driven by DevOps PaaS will expand development team participation, lower IT cost, and increase business agility.Recommended ReadingDevOps Meets ALM in the CloudPaaS Performance MetricsMulti-tenant, shared container PaaS TCOWSO2 App Factory Product Page

Establish tiers of service, track usage of APIs, social data collection, social data analytics, versioning. Also use internally to track internal re-use, ease of re-use, control access“Layer 7 and Wso2 Blend service integration and a good api Consumer experience. Most API management adopters among our clients will need to build their corporate platforms on existing systems and integration efforts. So they will need a good client app developer portal, traffic management sophistication, and the means to map, convert, and manage existing service endpoints.”** The Forrester WaveTM: API Management Platforms, Q1 2013 By Eve Maler and Jeffrey s. Hammond, February 5, 2013
- #35 API brands enable you to build mindshare with your target audience. Mindshare increases API visibility; visibility encourages individuals (and devices) to discover and evaluate your API. API evaluation triggers API adoption, and adoption realizes your goals (i.e. increased interaction and revenue growth). Execute a virtuous API branding cycle.
- #36 Look and feel strongly influences perception. Build a developer and end-user portal that matches your intended audience and desired brand image. Choose an API brand platform where you can customize the portal. This slide demonstrate how the WSO2 API Store was customized.

- #43 When defining a roadmap to align IT’s pace with business agility expectations, establish IT team objectives that quicken IT solution development and delivery, offer new technology as on-demand shared services, and enhance your team’s ability to rapidly satisfy emerging business use cases (e.g. social collaboration, mobile application connectivity, ecosystem partnering).Open source PaaS, Open APIs, and Open Ecosystems are accelerating agility, empowering developers, and enabling innovative business strategies. In a recently published white paper, I describe how adopting a New IT plan can create a responsive IT team.The path to New IT requires moving away from traditional application platforms, traditional team structure, and traditional information flows. Responsive IT teams are adapting their infrastructure, processes and tooling to re-invent the application platform and re-think application delivery. The New IT architecture underlying Responsive IT intelligently incorporates Cloud Platforms, BigData Analytics, Enterprise DevOps, and API first development.
