• • Backup and Recovery Click to KVM Rolling Maintenance KVM DRS VR Health-checks The Cloud Specialists edit Shape. Blue. com @Shape. Blue

KVM Rolling Maintenance Click to edit • Select a zone, pod or cluster • Supply upgrade/patching scripts to KVM hosts • Instruct Cloud. Stack to run scripts on the hosts one by one in a cluster, evacuating a host and putting it into maintenance mode where necessary The Cloud Specialists Shape. Blue. com @Shape. Blue

KVM DRS Click to edit • Iterative migration of guest instances to either: • Balance hosts • Pack hosts • DRS process simplified by • • Calculating the most effect guest instance to move Live migrating it Checking to see if DRS threshold has be satisfied If not, calculate the most effect guest instance to move now The Cloud Specialists Shape.

VR Health-Checks • • • Click to edit Router periodically running self checks Management servers periodically polling to ensure checks have run and receive results Configurable thresholds set to avoid false positives Alerts raised when checks fail Automatic VR restarts when specified checks fail.

VR Health-Checks • • Click to edit Basic connectivity from management server to virtual router Basic connectivity to virtual router its interfaces' gateways Free disk space on virtual router's disk CPU and memory usage Basic VR Sanity checks: • dnsmasq/strongswan/haproxy/etc service running • DHCP/DNS config sanity check Advanced VR Sanity checks: • DHCP/DNS configuration matches mgmt server DB • IPtables rules match management server records • HAproxy config matches mgmt server db records VM network sanity checks The Cloud Specialists Shape.

• Backup and Recovery Click to edit The Cloud Specialists Shape. Blue. com @Shape. Blue

• Not consistent across volumes • A VM with separate disks for say; C l i OS, c k logs t o eand dit data, will have each disk processed at different times • Only crash consistent within a volume and they aren’t application aware • • • A database will not be quiesced before snapshot is taken Transaction logs won’t be processed VMware tools or Xen. Tools may help with some basics The Cloud Specialists Shape. Blue. com @Shape. Blue

• They can be very slow. Click to edit • Data has to be transferred from primary storage to secondary storage • In the case of v. Sphere, this data must go via the SSVM to be compressed into a OVA while being moved to secondary storage. • Cloud. Stack locks out other actions while a snapshot is taking place. Workarounds have their own issues. The Cloud Specialists Shape. Blue. com @Shape. Blue

• Restoration of a VM requires a number of steps (and did I mention it’s slow) Click to edit • User must make a template from snapshot (VM image copied via SSVM from one part of secondary storage to another – 2 x network transfers) • User then creates VM from template (VM image copied from secondary to primary to create template on primary storage, then primary storage based template copied to make actual VM. 2 x network assuming network based primary storage and 1 x on-disk copy) • To restore a VM ‘exactly as it was’ requires considerable operator intervention The Cloud Specialists Shape. Blue. com @Shape. Blue

Specifically: • • • Click to edit Support for: • Operator created ‘policy based’ backups (RPOs) • Scheduled backups (similar to snapshot scheduling) • Ad hoc backups Backups as first class citizens ‘In-place’ restoration of entire VM including data disks Restoration of VM backup after original VM is destroyed Restoration of individual VM volumes (can then be attached to another VM) Full integration into the Cloud. Stack usage service, recording both protected and on-disk data metrics The Cloud Specialists Shape. Blue. com @Shape. Blue

‘Policy Based’ Backups Click to edit • list. Backup. Polices external=true Returns ‘template’ jobs. • import. Backup. Policy Creates a policy (with a name and description) in Cloud. Stack and maps it to a Veeam template job. ie. GOLD – 6 hr RPO SILVER – 24 hr RPO BRONZE – 7 day RPO The Cloud Specialists Shape. Blue. com @Shape. Blue

‘Ad-hoc’ & Scheduled Backups Click to edit • Cloud. Stack will send command to carry out an ad-hoc run of the policy based job or create one as required. • Ad-hoc and scheduled jobs will be driven by Cloud. Stack • One VM to one Veeam job mapping allows for simpler accounting and unified incremental backups The Cloud Specialists Shape. Blue. com @Shape. Blue
