Cloud computing provides scalable computing resources on demand that can be accessed over the internet. The document discusses different types of cloud computing including public, private and hybrid clouds. It also summarizes how cloud management systems like RightScale allow users to launch and configure virtual servers across multiple cloud providers, deploy applications across server templates for flexibility, and manage multiple servers as a unified deployment. The demo portion shows how to launch a server, dynamically configure server templates, and manage a multi-server environment on RightScale's cloud management platform.

7. Public Clouds Shared computing infrastructure that anyone can access via the Internet (e.g., Amazon Web Services, Rackspace) Private Clouds Cloud computing infrastructure that is owned by a single party; may or may not be connected to the Internet (e.g., Eucalyptus-enabled data center) Hybrid Clouds Union of Public and Private Clouds used together to leverage the benefits of both Different Cloud Types

16. Demo – Cloud Basics Launch a Server Configure a Server Managing a Multi-Server Environment

17. Demo: Launch a Server Access a bundled Machine Image Launch Install your application Re-bundle and save

18. Dynamically Configure a Server Next gen 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 … get up and running fast! Complete lifecycle management … version control Portability across multiple cloud platforms RightScale Server Templates

19. What’s in a Server Template?

20. Key Takeaways: Static vs. Dynamic Server Configuration When Using Machine Images … When Using Server Templates … Eliminate the overhead of image maintenance, dramatically reducing your system administration and development burdens. OVERHEAD = Time to Change * # of Live Images + Time to Retrieve, Launch, and Change * # Stored Images OVERHEAD = Time to Change

21. Managing a Multi-Server Environment RightScale Deployments bring all the servers associated with an application environment together under unified management Set global input parameters Monitor the entire deployment Make global updates Easily clone for ongoing development and testing

22. Demo: Multi-Server Environment Example deployment Global configurations Monitor a deployment Deployment management Consumption tracking Making a change

23. Key Takeaways: Deployments Administrators monitor and respond at a deployment level All servers share common input parameters Leverage configurations across multiple availability zones and clouds Work more efficiently and eliminate errors
