SESSION CODE: VIR-COS 301 Gareth James Senior Consultant Microsoft Services PRIVATE CLOUD BEST PRACTICES (c) 2011 Microsoft. All rights reserved.

Agenda ► Define Private Cloud ► Principals ► Two viewpoints of Private Cloud ► Dynamic Datacentre ► Infrastructure as a Service concepts ► Datacentre Services Demonstration (c) 2011 Microsoft. All rights reserved.

The NIST Cloud Definition Framework Service Models Essential Characteristics Common Characteristics Software as a Service (Saa. S) Platform as a Service (Paa. S) • On Demand Service • Broad Network Access • Resource Pooling • • Massive Scale Homogeneity Virtualisation Low Cost Software • • Infrastructure as a Service (Iaa. S) • Rapid Elasticity • Measured Service Resilient Computing Geographic Distribution Service Orientation Advanced Security (c) 2011 Microsoft. All rights reserved.

Principles of Private Cloud ► Perception of infinite capacity ► Perception of continuous availability ► Drive predictability ► Service providers approach to delivering infrastructure ► Resiliency over Redundancy ► Minimise human involvement ► Optimise resource usage ► Incentivise desired resource consumption behaviour (c) 2011 Microsoft. All rights reserved.

Resiliency over Redundancy ► Redundancy model – – Aim: To avoid failure Redundancy at all layers Fewer failures, but greater impact Measured by mean-time between failures ► Resiliency model – – Aim: avoid service failure Automated detection and response More failures – but less impact Measured by mean-time to restore service (c) 2011 Microsoft. All rights reserved.

Private Cloud – Two Viewpoints ► Service Provider – – Optimised resource usage Large scale standardisation and optimisation Classification of service People and process aligned To create a Private Cloud for the service consumer, we must ► Service Consumer provide a dynamic datacentre – On demand self service to theconsumption service ofprovider. – Elastic service – Utility style pricing – Well defined and constant quality of service (c) 2011 Microsoft. All rights reserved.

Principals of a Dynamic Datacentre ► Cost Transparency ► Homogenisation of physical resources ► Pool compute resource ► Fabric management ► Consumption based pricing ► Virtualised infrastructure ► Service classification ► Holistic approach to availability ► Compute resource decay ► Elastic infrastructure ► Partitioning of shared resources (c) 2011 Microsoft. All rights reserved.

Challenges with a Dynamic Datacentre ► High levels of automation and orchestration needed ► Process and standardisation are king ► Shared services must cross previously siloed workgroups ► Organisational and process change (c) 2011 Microsoft. All rights reserved.

Iaa. S Concepts – building blocks ► Scale Unit ► Resource Pool ► Fault Domain ► Upgrade Domain (c) 2011 Microsoft. All rights reserved.

Iaa. S - Concepts Working Together Scale Unit Upgrade Domain Resource Pool + X X Resource Decay

Delivering Infrastructure-as-a-Service on the Microsoft Platform • Automated deployment of Datacentre Services | Infrastructure-as-a-Service • • • 13 scale-units (up to 15+1 node clusters) Self-service interface for automated provisioning and administration of VMs Automated patching of hosts with no downtime to VMs Automated fault detection and resolution Built-in tenant and admin reporting (incl. chargeback model) Automated deployment of management scale-units (additional sites) Can be customised to integrate with business logic

Infrastructure-as-a-Service System Architecture 14

Infrastructure-as-a-Service Infrastructure Relationships IAAS FABRIC DATACENTER/SITE RESOURCE POOL Clusters Upgrade Domain Hosts RESOURCE POOL 15

Infrastructure-as-a-Service Tenant/Service Onboarding and Quota Management • Each Tenant will have a quota of “VM Units” • Each tenant will have one or more “Services” • Each Service will have a quota • Each Service will have opportunity provision/deprovision VMs Scale Unit Management Cluster 16

Infrastructure-as-a-Service Virtual Machine Provisioning • Tenant Administrator chooses VMTemplate (v. CPUs, Memory, Storage) and # of VMs to provision • VMs are automatically provisioned and registered for reporting and administration Scale Unit 4 Management Cluster 17

Infrastructure-as-a-Service Host Infrastructure Capacity Reporting and Management Scale Unit Infrastructure Admin reports on consumed and remaining VMUnit capacity Management Cluster 18

Infrastructure-as-a-Service Chargeback Reporting • Provisioned VMs are metered to provide total consumption (e. g. units x time) • Reported on at Tenant and Service level Scale Unit Management Cluster 19

Infrastructure-as-a-Service Scale-Unit Provisioning • Scale unit is racked and cabled • LUNs and VLANs created manually (optional integration with 3 rd parties) Management Cluster • Hyper-V Core deployed to Hosts simultaneously • CSVs created and hosts added to failover cluster • Added to VMM as available capacity • Administrator enters scale unit data (hostnames, MAC Addresses) into Service Manager form 20

Infrastructure-as-a-Service Host Infrastructure Patching • Patch Package • Applied to Upgrade Domain as Config. Mgr Patch Collection • Upgrade Domain set to VMM Maintenance Mode to evacuate VMs to available Hosts Failover Clusters 1 • Host Failover Position Determines Upgrade Domain • Repeat for all Upgrade Domain with no downtime for VMs 21

Infrastructure-as-a-Service Host Infrastructure Failure and Maintenance • Maintenance can be scheduled to occur based on capacity reserve planning Scale Unit • Critical hardware failure on Host • Virtual Machines are restarted on available host capacity • Greatly reduce costs of datacenter personnel and vendor maintenance contracts Management Cluster 22
