  1. Cisco’s Intelligent Automation for Cloud Chris Ronderos – Systems Engineer crondero@cisco.com

  2. Business Drivers for Private Cloud • Lack of agility • High cost of provisioning • Business-IT dissonance Reduce Provisioning Times for New Services • Provisioning for Peak Loads • Low capacity utilization • Overcrowding of datacenter Reduce Capital Costs: Flexible Repurposing of Resources ImproveIT-Business Alignment Move towards Proactive SLA Management • Labor-intensive, manual processes for service management • High error rates due to disconnected processes • Infrastructure sprawl Need for Centralized Control and Governance across Infrastructure

  3. Elements of Private Cloud Computing Lifecycle Management of Cloud Services • Self-Service Interface: Provides ability for users to order and track metered services • Service Delivery Automation:Automates provisioning and meters usage of services • Resource Management:Resources are provisioned and managed as per service needs • Operational Process Automation:Automates operational processes such as user management, capacity management, service level management, service desk integration, alerting… • Lifecycle Management

  4. Tracking for Pay-Per-Use Standardized IT Offerings Self-Service IT Storefront Define and Publish Standard Options Review Offerings, Get Quotes Chargeback or Showback Architecture & IT Management Policies & Governance Self-Service Approvals & Controls Developers Report Consumption Orchestrate Delivery Network Storage Lifecycle Management Security Ops DR Cisco IA Cloud at Work Process Coordination Automation via CISCO Orchestrator 5

  5. Automation and Tracking Service Lifecycle Management Standardized, Repeatable Services Shorter Cycle Time, Faster Service Delivery Process Orchestration Visibility for Showback or Chargeback Potential Customer Future State End Users Self-Service and Governance Compare Service Tiers and Options Yes Guided Shopping ‘Wizard’ No Online Catalog of Services Policy-Based Controls Service Requests Rich Interactive Forms Role-Based Access Control Ordering and Approvals Status Updates

  6. Approvals, Policy Controls, Governance Self-service ≠ Free-for-all Enforce role-based and policy-based controls for self-service Guide user requests to the right solutions to meet their needs Ensure proper platform, security profile, build procedures, compliance, etc.

  7. CITEIS – Cisco's Internal private cloud built on our software A Framework for Providing Infrastructure as a Service Architect it Design it Architect it Design it Where can we put it? Where can we put it? Procure it CITEIS Procure it Install it Configure it Install it Secure it AutomatedSelf-service On-demand Configure it Manual Secure it Is it ready? Is it ready? Before CITEIS After CITEIS • Machine-oriented • Manual provisioning • Hard to control utilization • Service-oriented • Self-service; automated provisioning • Elasticity (capacity-on-demand) • High provisioning & ops cost • Extended provisioning time • Configuration risk • Optimized provisioning & ops cost • Rapid provisioning • Increased Resiliency and Availability

  8. Self-service, self-managed personal infrastructure on-demand.

  9. An Easy-to-Use Ordering Process Provide configurable, interactive forms with requester and customer account information pre-populated for users. Dynamic pricing information is available for chargeback and showback environments.

  10. Cisco Tidal Enterprise Orchestrator Sample Workflow for UCS (System Awareness) UCS Event trigger, could also be based upon a UCS Fault like a failed NIC Web Based Approval Request Auto Generated VMware adapter takes action on the ESX host Shut Down UCS Server through UCSM Move the Service Profile to an available blade Boot the UCS Server through UCSM VMware adapter takes action on the ESX host

  11. A sample of a few Cloud Adapters…
