From Virtualized Infrastructure
to OpenStack

My data center is virtualized; I have a
cloud, right?

Virtualization makes Cloud
Computing possible
But, a virtualized data center is
not a Cloud

Launching virtualized servers does not a cloud make

Cloud computing (public or private) is about
• Self service with automation
• Speed—provisioning environments lightning fast
• Granular cost tracking of every resource

Empowering IT’s
customers to provision
pre-defined environments with
ZERO lead time
IT’s role and what is expected changes

Your data center should feel like this…

ServerTemplates
• ServerTemplates define individual servers and/or complete
systems
• More than just instance characteristics … entire system
configuration (e.g., networking, environment variables,
automation settings, server interdependencies)
VMs are like
burned-in CDs
ServerTemplates
are like play lists

14. #rightscale

ServerTemplates
• Dynamic configuration
• Abstract role and behavior
from cloud infrastructure
• Predictable deployment
• Cloud agnostic / portable
• Object-oriented programming
for sysadmins

Private cloud is not virtualization. It requires
a self-service interface, automation behind
the interface and metering of usage.
Enterprises should design private clouds with
hybrid cloud computing in mind, from an
interoperability and management standpoint.
