EVERYTHING AS CODE
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
TRAVIS RHODEN – DEVELOPER ADVOCATE, EMC {code}

2© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
• {code} developer advocate
• From C to Python
• From Defense Contracting to Cloud
• From proprietary to open source
WHO IS TRAVIS?

All components of your app deployment are
defined in software or a declarative language,
and version controlled
WHAT IS EVERYTHING AS CODE?
Infrastructure Software Monitoring

MORE * AS CODE
Testing
Deployment
Scaling

WHY * AS CODE
Micro-service based architectures require more
agility from lower-level infrastructure

ENABLING AGILITY
Agility
Automation
Software-Defined

HOW DID WE GET HERE?
THE ROAD TO SOFTWARE DEFINED

WATERFALL
Sequential phases
Rigidly defined
Requirements and
design upfront
Test at the end

PROBLEMS WITH WATERFALL
Requirements not known
Waiting to test
Infrequent delivery

WANTING TO BECOME AGILE
Shorter dev/test cycles (sprints)
Frequent deliveries
Fast feedback
How to accomplish with large
projects?

MOVING TO SERVICE-BASED ARCHITECTURES
Break large projects into
separate services
Develop/test/deliver
independently
Creates more work
absent automation

HOW DID INFRASTRUCTURE KEEP UP?
Many smaller services
Lots of overhead in
hardware CAPEX and OPEX

ENTER IAAS
Virtualization to the rescue!
Self-service access to VMs
becomes “IT of tomorrow”
“right-size” resources

LIMIT OF SELF-SERVICE
YOU

IAAS DOESN’T SCALE BY ITSELF
Scaling application tiers to match demand
Attaching the correct persistent storage
Manual processes are error-prone
Infrastructure cannot keep up with requirements
of newer applications without automation

SOFTWARE DEFINED
REPEATABLE, IMMUTABLE INFRASTRUCTURE

REMOVE YOURSELF
Infrastructure is defined in code or a markup language
Code repository is the source of truth
Infrastructure is deployed just like an application, or
as part of the application

CHANGE THE CODE, NOT THE SERVER
REPEATABLE IMMUTABLE
NO SURPRISES

EVERYTHING AS CODE
BRINGING ALL THE PIECES TOGETHER

SD(X) ENABLES INFRASTRUCTURE AS CODE
Now infrastructure is organic, not static
not at odds with immutable
Enables higher level behaviors

THE REACTIVE APPLICATION PLATFORM
Instead of self-service, we have auto-scaling (up
and down!), scheduling, and self-healing
Respond to changes in demand faster than any
human could

APP PLATFORM INCLUDES INFRASTRUCTURE
Next generation platforms
automatically include proxies, load
balancers, log aggregators,
gateways, etc.
Launched as needed and auto-scaled

OPEN SOURCE AS THE DRIVER
OSS DRIVES SD(X)

OSS LEADS THE PACK
Open Source applications are leading Software-
Defined Everything

WRAP UP

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Repeatable, immutable infrastructure provides
consistency and predictability
Software defined enables advanced automation
Automation leads to better scaling with less human
overhead

KEY TAKEAWAYS
OSS provides maximum agility
• Evolves faster than anything else
• Best products rise to top, then work
with each other.
• EMC {code} promotes and enhances
OSS for software defined
infrastructure

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Treating infrastructure as code and integrating
developer oriented methods of operating
infrastructure is the only way to properly address
the future needs of applications
