WORKLOADS ARE SHIFTING TO CLOUD TYPE

TRADITIONALWORKLOADS

● Stateful VMs, application = VM● Big VMs: vCPU, vRAM, storage inside VM● Application SLA = SLA of VM● SLA requires enterprise virtualization

features to keep VMs highly available● Lifecycle measured in years● VMs scale up: add vCPU, vRAM, etc.● Applications not designed to tolerate

failure of VMs

CLOUDWORKLOADS

● Stateless VMs● Small VMs: vCPU, vRAM, storage separate● Application SLA <> SLA of any one VM● SLA requires ability to create and destroy

VMs where needed● Lifecycle measured in hours to months● Applications scale out: add more VMs● Applications tolerate failure of VMs

RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX OPENSTACK PLATFORM

● 6 month cadence

● Roughly 2 months AFTER upstream● Time to stabilize, certify, backport etc.

● Initially 1 year lifecycle

● Will increase lifecycle over time based on upstream stability and customer requirements

● Hardware and application certifications from RHEL carry over to RHEL OpenStack Platform

● Consistent ecosystem of partners

OPENSTACK DO'S AND DON`TS

● Classify IT Landscape

● Workloads (Application Ready for OpenStack?)● Data Security Tiers

● Greenfield or Brownfield installation?

● “Manager of Managers” required – otherwise double effort

● Compare Software Support Models

● Look for experiences Implementation Partners
