6 likes3,070 views
This document discusses hybrid IT strategies for connecting on-premises infrastructure to AWS. It defines key terms like on-premises IT, cloud architecture, and hybrid IT. It then outlines several common enterprise strategies for adopting AWS, such as using AWS for development/test environments, building new apps for the cloud, enhancing existing on-prem apps with cloud services, and migrating apps to AWS. The document also discusses technologies like AWS Direct Connect, Storage Gateway, and disaster recovery options. It emphasizes the importance of cost, workloads, compliance, latency, and user experience when considering a hybrid IT approach.

- 28. ImplementaBon and Management of Hybrid IT
- 29. On-‐Premises IT: Key ConsideraBons Cost • Sunk investment in physical infrastructure – try to maximize the uBlizaBon of this CAPEX Workload and Infrastructure Interac6on • ApplicaBons have different resource needs • Choose the right fit for your applicaBon and your infrastructure Compliance • Data may be contained on-‐premises for compliance needs or requirements.
- 30. On-‐Premises IT: Key ConsideraBons Latency • Consumers of the on-‐premises resources are generally “closer” to the environment, which reduces latency User Experience • Related to latency, end user experience is enhanced due to proximity to resources.
- 31. Management ConsideraBons Elevates: • Configurations • APIs • Automation behaviors • Access control • Billing and governance Users and systems RightScale – MulB Infrastructure Resource Management Common API and UI AWS On-‐Premises OS Hardware Hypervisor Services APIs APIs
- 32. Design Considerations Location of Physical Hardware • On-premises • Availability considerations (power, cooling, networking, etc.) • Hosted or Co-location facility • Accessibility of hardware for additions and/or modification • Latency to end users • Security
- 33. Design ConsideraBons Availability and Redundancy Configuration • Easiest configuration (single zone, single region, single API endpoint) does not promote high availability • High Availability of resources requires more complex configurations
- 34. Design ConsideraBons/OpBons Simple ConfiguraBon No HA or Redundancy HA ConfiguraBon
- 35. Design ConsideraBons Intended Workloads and Use Cases • Does the applicaBon require high availability or is it tolerant of interrupBons of service? • Does the applicaBon require (or greatly benefit from) specialized hardware or network configuraBons?
- 36. Use Cases Cloudburs6ng – An applicaBon deployment model in which an applicaBon runs in your on-‐ premises environment and bursts to a cloud provider when the demand for compuBng capacity spikes. – The advantage of a cloud bursBng-‐enabled deployment is that an organizaBon only pays for extra compute resources when they are needed. – ConsideraBons: • Control – public Internet traversal may be required • Latency – traversal of public Internet involves the Great Unknown • Cost – bandwidth charges for public Internet traversal • Complexity – numerous opBons exist for configuraBon of a hybrid secure environment
- 37. Hybrid IT / CloudbursBng ON-PREMISES CLOUD LOAD BALANCERS APP SERVERS MASTER DATABASE SLAVE DATABASE OBJECT STORAGE APP SERVERS PUBLIC INTERNET CloudbursBng
- 38. Use Cases Disaster Recovery (DR) • ProducBon environment in on-‐premises environment • DR environment in the cloud • Most common configuraBon is the “Warm DR” scenario • ReplicaBng slave in the cloud • All other servers in non-‐operaBonal state
- 39. Use Cases On-Premises Public Cloud or On- Premises Resources Disaster Recovery (DR)
- 40. Use Cases Self-‐Service IT Portal (“IT Vending Machine”) • Users select one of several pre-‐configured tech stacks • Isolated Test/Dev environments
- 41. User identity Your portal On-Premises end users (web browser) request a certain server type is launched, and specify cloud location Amazon Web Services Deploy the chosen server in a private or public cloud, based on the ServerTemplate Service catalog of IaaS applications (ServerTemplates) RightScale API RightScale UI service designers(web browser) server instance Self Service IT Portal server instance is displayed as service catalogue items within review access logs, version control and change logs, set permissions managers (web browser) billing data sent to RightScale, for all cloud usage

- 44. Q&A • [I am] looking for reusable templates, best pracBces, and approaches to perform assessments on moving workloads to the cloud. • RightScale MulBCloud Marketplace – Repository of hundreds of publicly-‐available ServerTemplates • Onboarding/CloudSight/CloudRank
- 45. Q&A • How does applicaBon management work in hybrid clouds where the private cloud workload may burst to AWS? What are good pracBces for app data sync when the app is running in private cloud and AWS? • Stateless applicaBon servers are best-‐suited to cloudbursBng. • If data synchronizaBon is required: – Highly-‐available shared storage (such as S3) – High-‐performance shared filesystem (like GlusterFS or OpenAFS) – Implement a low-‐latency secure link (such as DirectConnect).
- 46. Q&A • Is there a published checklist somewhere of what all needs to be validated prior to deciding to move a system (Exchange, AD, etc.) to the cloud? And is there a checklist for what all needs to take place when you actually decide to move something? Do you have any whitepapers to show how customers have been impacted posiBvely by moving on prem systems to cloud that most customers have (i.e. Exchange, Email, etc.) How have they saved money, provided beOer performance, etc.), and made their lives easier? • This is a common quesBon we get at RightScale -‐-‐ so common that we developed a consulBng product offering around for this exact need (CloudSight). This is tough to answer in general terms, but would be a great topic for our in-‐person events.
- 47. Q&A • How does using Amazon VPC impact using right scale middle ware? • Instances need to route out to RightScale (no inbound access required). – NAT – EIPs – Route through on-‐premise device
- 48. Q&A • How to deal with long distance latency issues in data transfer? • WAN OpBmizaBon Tools – Compression/De-‐dup/TCP OpBmizaBons, etc.
- 49. Q&A • If we save data to the AWS cloud, does the key reside on the cloud or with us exclusively? (for security reasons, we would prefer not to have the key reside on the cloud as it does on some systems) • TrendMicro, a RightScale partner, has SecureCloud which allows data encrypBon with the key management provided by Trend’s SaaS plaYorm (not in AWS), or in your own datacenter.
