Another fun VMUG presentation focussing on automation, whilst still pitching Rubrik. This is a modified deck version of the deck that I presented at Cloud Expo Europe a couple of months earlier, with some extra "fun" bits for the VMUG crowd.
Proxies Replication Catalog Database Tape Off-site Archive Backup Storage a Dedupe Metadata Private Public Software fabric for orchestrating data across clouds. No forklift upgrades.
the complete infrastructure. No baby-sitting, load balancing, or maintenance. Simple to Scale Start small. Grow as you go in 2U increments. Scale out with white label hardware like Google and FB. Shrink data center footprint and reduce costs. Age out to private or public cloud at $10/TB/month.
(i.e. installing a software package, stopping a service) Orchestration is concerned with the execution of a workflow process (comprised of multiple tasks and systems)
REST is an architecture style for designing networked applications - Uses HTTP as transport (mainly) à POST, GET, PUT/PATCH, DELETE - Data input/output in JSON/XML (mainly) - Talk to an URI: Uniform Resource Identifier http://example.com/users
RESTful API • Simple to learn and consume regardless of background experience • Consumer grade polish and feel • Great for ad-hoc activities run by administrators or end users • Most activities require only a few clicks • Simple to learn and consume with only a small amount of REST API knowledge • Gracefully integrate with your existing toolset using a small number of calls • Tested and validated by the core engineering team – we use it, too! • No feature parity between the UI and API
suite of use cases: backup and recovery, search, analytics, DR, and more. Command and Control with RESTful APIs Native Gain access to any of the operations that are available through the Rubrik web UI; we use the same RESTful API that you do. Extensible Perform bulk-type operations that might otherwise be difficult or impossible to perform by hand.
Includes parameter, query, path, and response details • Professionally written and maintained with pseudo-code and code snippet examples • Explains the why and the how
from Service Now, VMware vRealize Suite, and others. 1 Configuration Management Use your existing investment in desired state tools to protect and restore data at a global scale across the Rubrik fabric. 2 Application and Server Validation Create live copies in near-zero timeframes to test restoration of data, applications, and entire servers against an orchestration engine. 3 Common Customer Use Cases
your operations team a familiar entry point to automate Rubrik workflows From simple to complex tasks, lean on an orchestration engine to deliver Day 2 services to your users Pick any tool or language of your choice to double down on the investments made in- house against the RESTful API
