The Road to Hybrid Cloud is Paved with Automation

The document discusses how the road to hybrid cloud is paved with automation. It notes that failure to automate configurations and capture large, cumbersome automation led to technical debt. Hybrid cloud helps by defining infrastructure through finite configurations that can run anywhere rather than moving large VM images. This requires composable, data-driven automation defined through infrastructure as code and treated with the same test-driven development practices as application code.

- 21. Problems • • • • VMs are heavy C2Cing your technical debt Large management overhead Doesn’t really realize the benefits of Cloud
- 24. Solutions • • • • Configs lighter than VMs Reduces moving data already in your Clouds Can leverage things like SCM Define once, run anywhere
- 25. Problems • Requires discipline • Doesn’t solve data issues • Requires upfront investment of time
- 26. Perspective
- 27. The question isn’t: how do I get a server, defined by VM (or instance) into another Cloud to serve my application

Editor's Notes
- #3: I am sure we’ve all heard the saying “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”.
- #4: "L'enferestplein de bonnesvolontés et désirs" (hell is full of good wishes and desires).
- #5: Of course, we see these good intentions all over the place.http://api.ning.com/files/acZybvEAXDwa9s*3BMxOXoCJjKbX7t*65090bCPQNs8bofFQbZLxFboRq9*8GDxFTMXiJduHoyYnwfNDKq*p*2z5TkLsGiDj/Screenshot20130320at3.30.38PM.png
