GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Let’s Adopt Open Source

where possibleDon’t Lock me into a single

vendor

I want to solve problems as

ONE company Ebay Inc.

WHY OPENSTACK?

• Control and FlexibilityOpen-source platform. Not locked to proprietary vendor

Modular design can integrate with legacy or third-party technologies to meet business needs

• Industry StandardOpen-source cloud not a “cheap alternative” to proprietary/COTS.

Dominant standard in the IaaS market (OpenStack currently the unchallenged leader in open source IaaS)

More than 100 leading companies / over a dozen countries participating in OpenStack Community(Cisco, HP, Dell, VMware, Intel and Microsoft among others - new OpenStack clouds coming online globally)

• Proven SoftwareOpenStack today powers some of the largest public and private clouds in the world

• Compatible and ConnectedCompatibility with public OpenStack clouds = easy to migrate data and applications to public/hybrid

clouds (based on security policies, economics, and other key business criteria)

KEY BUILDING BLOCKS

Storage

Ops

Networking

Compute

Orchestration

PaaS

• Lego building blocks concept− “Stackable” cloud computing bricks

• Auto-discover, auto-config/connect, automatically communicate

• From the basic – VMs, storage volumes, load balancer pools, etc

• To the complex – database as a service, analytics as a service

− Constant stream of new capabilities added to the platform across thousands of developers globally

Confidential and Proprietary11

• Shift from Enterprise design model to cloud-based design where everything becomes virtualized

• Elastically scale and self-heal infrastructure to accommodate unpredictable usage patterns of customers and internet commerce

• Separate rapidly iterating customer experiences from core services

• Reduce overall cost per transaction within the environment

• Deliver infrastructure, services, and platforms through automated tools and management software

And Do it all….. Securely

SDDC DELIVERS

• Use compute capacity wherever available, regardless of networking boundaries • Flexibility to use resources in datacenter as required • Reduced over-provisioning / increased utilization / reduced cost

Compute capacity that we use anywhere (no more silos)

• Need to onboard cloud tenants with different security requirements• Able to isolate services without redeploying physical layer• Data centric, proportional security

Dynamic network isolation within large security zone

• Dynamic traffic patterns and policies• One design does not fit all!• Design network to fit application needs rather than fitting applications into existing network design

Flexible network topologies

• Configurations delivered in a programmatic way• No specialized skills needed to deliver• Rebuild first to troubleshoot• Automation and orchestration

service-oriented approach to delivering capacity

KEY LEARNINGS

• Developers want fully functional applications, not just blank servers

− Certified Secure OS + Certified Gold Application Stack + Load Balancer + Firewalls

• Our vendors are working with us to build and certify OpenStack API that we can consume to deliver what we need, when we need it.

• We’re proving that we can fully utilize resources, extend capabilities, and reduce overall cost of our infrastructure solutions

• Relying on in-house driven development requires skilled talent, vendor partnerships, and working with the community to improve capabilities to ‘Enterprise Level’

• Adoption cycle for using software to define ‘Everything’ is still early in the curve, but our strategic partners and vendors are aggressively building in capabilities

• These technology solutions are improving development lifecycle, improving time to market, and allowing the PayPal business to continue its leadership in the payments space around the world
