The mission statement: to produce the ubiquitous Open Source Cloud Computing platform that will meet the needs of public and private clouds regardless of size, by being simple to implement and massively scalable. • OpenStack is the cloud? • a virtualisation software? • Control panel of the infrastructure? • a platform or an ecosystem? • an open-source movement?

Open development, Open Governance for all projects following the OpenStack way. • massive industrial support • real large scale production grade deployments • continuous growth • well established footprint in Open-Source ecosystem

- 10. © Copyright 2015 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice.‹#› … not exactly, but To realize success: • need to have a well defined business case • need to do the cloud transition • improve processes for ops and development Business side: • overall improvement on IT performance • shorten go to market time • improved operation quality

- 13. © Copyright 2015 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice.‹#› Cloud Native applications If your company doing software development Implement a cloud-tolerant architecture, things work here a bit differently. http://12factor.net, just some highlights: • Failure tolerant (everything can brake paradigm) • Self service / automated deployment • Elasticity • Metered
- 14. © Copyright 2015 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice.‹#› Cloud Native applications Sounds good, but if you are not doing a green-field investment: Need to solve the following challenges: • what to do with existing codebase • Collaboration level between dev and ops • Need to migrate existing legacy apps (is it possible?) • Multi-vendor environment • How to raise the deployment frequency of apps?
- 15. © Copyright 2015 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice.‹#› Cloud Native applications Some suggestions: • treat configuration as code • highly automate processes (through API) • implement a continuous delivery pipeline • tests (unit, smoke, chaos monkey) • fail fast, recover quickly • think in small batch sizes
- 16. © Copyright 2015 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice. DevOps movement
- 17. © Copyright 2015 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice.‹#› DevOps DevOps is a cultural change that helps the collaboration of operations and development, redefine the IT. It is a real paradigm shift. • Software development and operations is very similar to plan management • Applies lean principles to the IT value stream • Boost deploy lead time (commit vs. production - 8000x faster code deployment) • Better IT performance = better business performance • Helps to avoid ‘works for me’ moments • Strongly depends on automation and tools related to Continous Delivery • Runs well on Cloud platforms.

- 20. © Copyright 2015 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice.‹#› How OpenStack support cloud native ops • Provide Software defined everything (Compute, Networking, Storage) • Lego like building blocks, adopts easily for different requirements • Access through API, so even robots and scripts can manage our infrastructure • Common effort to provide certified API endpoints - no vendor-locking in the future • Scalability from small to extreme size deployments • Plays well PaaS like CloudFoundry (HP Helion Development Platform)

So if you don’t have a cloud, but like to enjoy the business advantages, you have two choice: Build from scratch • Learn the basics, get training • Buy consultancy • Get a support from a skilled market player • pro: in-house knowledge • con: implementation time Buy from a vendor • Get a pre-packaged distribution • pro: short implementation time • con: strong trust in partner required Common mistake here: build from scratch without support -> waste of time and resources, likely failure

The information contained herein is subject to change without notice.‹#› Some final takeaways • OpenStack is not a cloud alternative with a lower TCO • Enable innovation of new operational and technology models • Solid base of 40000 Foundation members, 600 companies. • Don’t fear to implement DevOps and Agile, remember every unicorn was a horse before • Use the Open-Source model, don’t by shy to ask from Community
