15. 2. What about Cloud?
16. What the heck is “The Cloud”? Citrix study (1,006 person survey) 29% an actual cloud 51% believe affected by weather 54% say they never use (but 95% turn out to do so) 20% pretend to know ... 16% know it means computer services 68% say it’s good, when explained...
18. 3 layers IaaS, PaaS, SaaS Infrastructure Platform Software
19. 3 layers IaaS, PaaS, SaaS Infrastructure Platform Software Gmail, Salesforce, Flickr, Google Docs...
20. 3 layers IaaS, PaaS, SaaS Infrastructure Platform Software Gmail, Salesforce, Flickr, Google Docs... Amazon EC2, Google CE, OpenStack, vSphere, Joyent, Rackspace, Cloud Stack, Eucalyptus...
21. 3 layers IaaS, PaaS, SaaS Infrastructure Platform Software Gmail, Salesforce, Flickr, Google Docs... Amazon EC2, Google CE, OpenStack, vSphere, Joyent, Rackspace, Cloud Stack, Eucalyptus... Google AppEngine, Heroku, Cloud Foundry, OpenShift, Apprenda...
22. How did we get here?
23. Infrastructure Clouds - consumer web companies built out according to their own needs to support Software
24. But - still need to build & manage Platform
25. Google AppEngine, Heroku, Cloud Foundry, OpenShift, Uhuru, Cloudbees, AppFog, Amazon Elastic Beanstalk, Apprenda...
26. (pause)
27. KITTEH BREAK!
29. 3. Why is an Open Cloud Platform important?
30. Platform risk: lock-in Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year, you can find it here Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door I had to find the passage back To the place I was before ‘Relax,’ said the night man, ‘We are programmed to receive. You can checkout any time you like, But you can never leave!’
31. Cloud Foundry - the Open PaaS Application Service Interface Data Services Other Services Msg Services Private Clouds Public Clouds Micro Clouds Cloud Provider Interface (CPI) OSS community vFabric Postgres vFabric RabbitMQTM Additional partners services …
32. All about Choice Private Clouds Public Clouds Micro Clouds Build your own from cloudfoundry.org, run a private distro like ActiveState Run in a local virtual machine with identical services and runtimes Run on cloudfoundry.com or any Cloud Foundry- powered PaaS like AppFog
33. cloudfoundry.com multi-tenant PaaS Runtimes & Frameworks Services vCenter / vSphere cloudfoundry.com (beta) Infrastructure
34. All the pieces to make your own! “if you can’t open it, you don’t own it” (O’Reilly MAKE)
35. cloudfoundry.org community project cloudfoundry.org Download Code Setup Environment Deploy Behind Firewall Setup Scripts Apache2 license Your Infrastructure Cloud Foundry BOSH
36. Micro Cloud Foundry - downloadable PaaS Runtimes & Frameworks Services Your Laptop/PC Micro Cloud Foundry Single VM instance of Cloud Foundry that runs on developer’s machine (Linux, Mac, Win)
37. CTO, VMware, 11 April 2012 Steve Herrod “We really are aspiring for this to be the Linux of the cloud.”
38. Open & public from the start cloudfoundry.org and Github
39. Open Source… FTW! extensible and flexible
40. Open Source… FTW! extensible and flexible
41. multi-OS, multi-IaaS, multi- language... multi-cloud Partners building new tools and integrations
42. All about the ecosystem
