The document discusses the importance of building an open cloud architecture where cloud services are widely adopted. It covers cloud computing basics like virtualization platforms and private clouds. The document emphasizes that 99% of the value of cloud computing comes from services above the hypervisor layer, including compute, storage, and leveraging private, public and hybrid clouds. It also discusses how containers are now integrated into clouds and how cloud orchestration works. The overall message is that cloud computing provides value through scaling and on-demand services above the basic virtualization layer.

Thinking Out
Cloud..
Why it’s critical we get serious about building an Open Cloud Architecture,
where “as a Service” is the Default option being adopted by the
broader community to deliver Services to Government

2. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud 101
What’s all this Cloud hoo haa?

3. @dez_blanchfield
Virtualisation Platforms and Hypervisors, are simply not Clouds

4. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud, from the Hypervisor up, layers of the stack as a Service

5. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud, is about leveraging multiple services from multiple clouds

6. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud 102
What does a Cloud look like?

7. @dez_blanchfield
Not a Private cloud ( sorry Karl Lagerfeld & Berndnaut-Smilde )

8. @dez_blanchfield
Actual examples of a Private cloud, all shapes & sizes

9. @dez_blanchfield
Actual example of a Private cloud, here’s my own one at home ;-)

10. @dez_blanchfield
Actual example of a Private cloud, off the rack as it were ;-)

11. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes..

12. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes..

13. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes..

14. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud are being installed in all sorts of interesting places..

15. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes..

16. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes..

17. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes.. Not your average “cloud” !!

18. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes, 168,000 instances in one box??

19. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes, 8,000 clouds on Mainframe?!

20. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud comes in all shapes & sizes, I the z13 Mainframe !!

21. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud 103
Why is Cloud so different ?

22. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud orchestration, waving your arms doesn’t actually count

23. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud orchestration, what it looks & feels like for sys-admins

24. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud orchestration, what it actually looks like in logical form

25. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud orchestration, what can also look like on OpenStack

26. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud orchestration, Nirvana is when you can offer Self Service

27. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud 104
Clouds and App Containers ?

28. @dez_blanchfield
Clouds and Containers, once separate, now natively “built in”..

29. @dez_blanchfield
Clouds and Containers, stripping out the legacy VM overhead..

30. @dez_blanchfield
Cloud 105
The true value of Cloud..

31. @dez_blanchfield
The true Value of Cloud “as a Service”, is above the Hypervisor
99% OF THE
VALUE OF
CLOUD IS
ABOVE THE
HYPERVISOR

32. @dez_blanchfield
Above the Hypervisor, humble beginnings, compute & storage

33. @dez_blanchfield
Above the Hypervisor, we’re not in Kansas any more Toto

34. @dez_blanchfield
Above the Hypervisor, leveraging Private, Community & Hybrid

35. @dez_blanchfield
Above the Hypervisor, “cloud natives” - bursting is in their DNA !!

36. @dez_blanchfield
In AU Government, for ZoomData, these Clouds need not apply

37. @dez_blanchfield
Above the Hypervisor, “cloud natives”, cloud scaling is normal !!
This is where OpenStack is transforming how we do cloud
for software that is now shipping as a “cloud native”..
