3. • Public IaaS • PoPs in Europe and North America • Support (almost) all operating systems • Virtual data center • Trusted by CERN, ESA and many more About CloudSigma @vpetersson
4. Overview • XaaS overview • Abstraction layers • Technology overview • Orchestration layers @vpetersson
5. PaaS SaaS IaaS Bare metal Abstraction @vpetersson
6. Mainframes Time Bare metal (x86) Virtual machines Containers IaaS layer PaaS layer ( ) @vpetersson
7. Bare metal (x86) Pros • Familiar • Performance • Data management Cons • Static hardware • Slow and expensive provisioning • Low utilization per host @vpetersson
8. Virtual machine overview Pros • Flexible server sizes • Higher host utilization • Simple migration path • Scale with demand2 Cons • “Noisy neighbor” issue • Overhead on host1 • Management1 • Data control2 1 If self-hosted 2 If cloud based @vpetersson
9. Virtual machine technologies @vpetersson
10. Virtual machine management @vpetersson
11. Container overview Pros • Fast • Portable • Predictable Cons • Requires VM or PaaS • Short release cycles1 1For new container environments @vpetersson
12. Container technologies @vpetersson
13. Container management “Container Operating Systems” • CoreOS • Ubuntu’s Snappy Core • RedHat’s Project Atomic • RancherOS @vpetersson
14. Container management Orchestration Tools • (Ansible, Chef, Puppet, Salt etc.) • Google's Kubernates • OpenStack • Docker’s Swarm and Compose • Mesosphere’s DCOS • panamax • shipyard • and many more… @vpetersson
15. Mainframes Time Bare metal (x86) Virtual machines Containers IaaS layer PaaS layer ( ) @vpetersson
16. PaaS overview Pros • Easy to use • Turnkey solution • No management Cons • Lock-in • Expensive (at scale) • Many limitations @vpetersson
17. PaaS technologies @vpetersson
18. PaaS vs. Containers • What’s the relationship between
 PaaS and containers? • Can I run Docker containers
 on a PaaS? @vpetersson
19. • Ephemeral runtime environments • Portable • Abstraction • Self-managing systems • Host OS becomes less important • Containers are here to stay • Hybrid setups Trends @vpetersson
20. Cloud Exchange • Portability • Hybrid • Multi-cloud @vpetersson
