Only CloudStack & OpenStack will survive

But why CloudStack Giles ?
“It just works”

The move to
enterprise adoptionTrend
@ShapeBlue
Jan 2012 = 90% public cloudJan 2013 = 50/50 split
In 2013, we will see enterprises doing one of the following:
adopt public cloudbuild private cloudalign with public clouds (technology, process, standards)But, why ?.....
The move to enterprise adoption

What's driving enterprise adoption then?
XXXXXX is a software development method that stresses communication, collaboration and integration between software developers and information technology professionals. XXXXXX is a response to the interdependence of software development and IT operations. It aims to help an organization rapidly produce software products and services

The obligatory cloud definition slide
Self ServiceResource pooling
Rapid Elasticity
Metered Use
@ShapeBlue
Enterprises are virtualised = cap/op ex savingsHowever, operationally often still manual
Still often a service ticket to provision new resourcesLong delivery timesRelatively high operational costsRelies on specialist skillsMargin for human error
On-demand self-service is a cloud driver
@ShapeBlue
Make the most of a global compute estateResources dynamically assigned according to demandWorkloads can be averaged: across departments, across Geos, across times of day, days of month,etcBy pooling resources, reduces the reliance on local capacity planningAbstracts physical resources
Enterprise cloud drivers– Resource pooling
@ShapeBlue
The The XaaS model allows accurate cost measurement
ComputeStorageNetworketc
Internal chargeback model much simpler“Shadow IT” can be removed
Enterprise cloud drivers– Measured service

Enterprise cloud drivers– Rapid elasticity

wheels."
Failure happens – Get used to it
@ShapeBlue
Cloud Era workload
Traditional workload
“I have two types of workload”
“Failure happens”? – no thanks
@ShapeBlue
Traditional workloadsTraditional n-tier applicationsScale & reliance handled by the infrastructureScale by “scaling up”Infrastructure expected to be always available
Traditional Workloads
@ShapeBlue
Cloud era workloadsApplications designed for failureApplications designed for massive scaleScale by “scaling out” (horizontally)
How can an enterprise benefit from both models ?
Cloud Era workloads
@ShapeBlue
Private Cloud
Enterprises will adopt a 2 workload model

Get involved in Apache CloudStack….
@ShapeBlue
Maybe too developer focussed?Would like to see more users/operators/integrators in the communityMaybe two communities could develop?
Mailing lists are cumbersomeThe forums are like wild west townsThe mailing lists can be intimidating
I love the Apache way, but...
