Slide 2 - 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 1 Virtualization and Cloud Computing Norman Wilde Thomas Huber An opening caveat ... This talk is based on speeches at conferences, discussions with people in industry, and some experimentation. A lot of people think they will make a lot of money – so there is lots of hype! But there seems to be something fundamental going on. 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 2 Some sun behind the clouds?

DB Server Linux MySQL EMail Windows Exchange 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 6 The Traditional Server Concept System Administrators often talk about servers as a whole unit that includes the hardware, the OS, the storage, and the applications. Servers are often referred to by their function i.e. the Exchange server, the SQL server, the File server, etc. If the File server fills up, or the Exchange server becomes overtaxed, then the System Administrators must add in a new server.

DB Server Linux MySQL EMail Windows Exchange 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 6 The Traditional Server Concept System Administrators often talk about servers as a whole unit that includes the hardware, the OS, the storage, and the applications. Servers are often referred to by their function i.e. the Exchange server, the SQL server, the File server, etc. If the File server fills up, or the Exchange server becomes overtaxed, then the System Administrators must add in a new server. 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 7 The Traditional Server Concept Unless there are multiple servers, if a service experiences a hardware failure, then the service is down. System Admins can implement clusters of servers to make them more fault tolerant. However, even clusters have limits on their scalability, and not all applications work in a clustered environment. 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 8 The Traditional Server Concept Pros Easy to conceptualize Fairly easy to deploy Easy to backup Virtually any application/service can be run from this type of setup Cons Expensive to acquire and maintain hardware Not very scalable Difficult to replicate Redundancy is difficult to implement Vulnerable to hardware outages In many cases, processor is under-utilized 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 9 The Virtual Server Concept Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) layer between Guest OS and hardware 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 10 Close-up* * adapted from a diagram in VMware white paper, Virtualization Overview x86 Architecture VMM (Virtual Machine Monitor) Server 1 Guest OS Server 2 Guest OS Clustering Service Console Intercepts hardware requests 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 11 The Virtual Server Concept Virtual servers seek to encapsulate the server software away from the hardware This includes the OS, the applications, and the storage for that server.

DB Server Linux MySQL EMail Windows Exchange 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 6 The Traditional Server Concept System Administrators often talk about servers as a whole unit that includes the hardware, the OS, the storage, and the applications. Servers are often referred to by their function i.e. the Exchange server, the SQL server, the File server, etc. If the File server fills up, or the Exchange server becomes overtaxed, then the System Administrators must add in a new server. 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 7 The Traditional Server Concept Unless there are multiple servers, if a service experiences a hardware failure, then the service is down. System Admins can implement clusters of servers to make them more fault tolerant. However, even clusters have limits on their scalability, and not all applications work in a clustered environment. 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 8 The Traditional Server Concept Pros Easy to conceptualize Fairly easy to deploy Easy to backup Virtually any application/service can be run from this type of setup Cons Expensive to acquire and maintain hardware Not very scalable Difficult to replicate Redundancy is difficult to implement Vulnerable to hardware outages In many cases, processor is under-utilized 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 9 The Virtual Server Concept Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) layer between Guest OS and hardware 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 10 Close-up* * adapted from a diagram in VMware white paper, Virtualization Overview x86 Architecture VMM (Virtual Machine Monitor) Server 1 Guest OS Server 2 Guest OS Clustering Service Console Intercepts hardware requests 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 11 The Virtual Server Concept Virtual servers seek to encapsulate the server software away from the hardware This includes the OS, the applications, and the storage for that server. Servers end up as mere files stored on a physical box, or in enterprise storage. A virtual server can be serviced by one or more hosts, and one host may house more than one virtual server. 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 12 The Virtual Server Concept Virtual servers can still be referred to by their function i.e. email server, database server, etc. If the environment is built correctly, virtual servers will not be affected by the loss of a host. Hosts may be removed and introduced almost at will to accommodate maintenance. 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 13 The Virtual Server Concept Virtual servers can be scaled out easily. If the administrators find that the resources supporting a virtual server are being taxed too much, they can adjust the amount of resources allocated to that virtual server Server templates can be created in a virtual environment to be used to create multiple, identical virtual servers Virtual servers themselves can be migrated from host to host almost at will. 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 14 The Virtual Server Concept Pros Resource pooling Highly redundant Highly available Rapidly deploy new servers Easy to deploy Reconfigurable while services are running Optimizes physical resources by doing more with less Cons Slightly harder to conceptualize Slightly more costly (must buy hardware, OS, Apps, and now the abstraction layer) 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 15 Virtualization Status Offerings from many companies e.g. VMware, Microsoft, Sun, ...

Slide 31 - 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 1 Virtualization and Cloud Computing Norman Wilde Thomas Huber An opening caveat ... This talk is based on speeches at conferences, discussions with people in industry, and some experimentation. A lot of people think they will make a lot of money – so there is lots of hype! But there seems to be something fundamental going on. 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 2 Some sun behind the clouds? 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 3 Two Technologies for Agility Virtualization: The ability to run multiple operating systems on a single physical system and share the underlying hardware resources* Cloud Computing: “The provisioning of services in a timely (near on instant), on-demand manner, to allow the scaling up and down of resources”** * VMware white paper, Virtualization Overview ** Alan Williamson, quoted in Cloud BootCamp March 2009 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 4 The Traditional Server Concept Web Server Windows IIS App Server Linux Glassfish DB Server Linux MySQL EMail Windows Exchange 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 5 And if something goes wrong ... Web Server Windows IIS App Server DOWN! DB Server Linux MySQL EMail Windows Exchange 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 6 The Traditional Server Concept System Administrators often talk about servers as a whole unit that includes the hardware, the OS, the storage, and the applications. Servers are often referred to by their function i.e. the Exchange server, the SQL server, the File server, etc. If the File server fills up, or the Exchange server becomes overtaxed, then the System Administrators must add in a new server. 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 7 The Traditional Server Concept Unless there are multiple servers, if a service experiences a hardware failure, then the service is down. System Admins can implement clusters of servers to make them more fault tolerant. However, even clusters have limits on their scalability, and not all applications work in a clustered environment. 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 8 The Traditional Server Concept Pros Easy to conceptualize Fairly easy to deploy Easy to backup Virtually any application/service can be run from this type of setup Cons Expensive to acquire and maintain hardware Not very scalable Difficult to replicate Redundancy is difficult to implement Vulnerable to hardware outages In many cases, processor is under-utilized 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 9 The Virtual Server Concept Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) layer between Guest OS and hardware 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 10 Close-up* * adapted from a diagram in VMware white paper, Virtualization Overview x86 Architecture VMM (Virtual Machine Monitor) Server 1 Guest OS Server 2 Guest OS Clustering Service Console Intercepts hardware requests 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 11 The Virtual Server Concept Virtual servers seek to encapsulate the server software away from the hardware This includes the OS, the applications, and the storage for that server. Servers end up as mere files stored on a physical box, or in enterprise storage. A virtual server can be serviced by one or more hosts, and one host may house more than one virtual server. 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 12 The Virtual Server Concept Virtual servers can still be referred to by their function i.e. email server, database server, etc. If the environment is built correctly, virtual servers will not be affected by the loss of a host. Hosts may be removed and introduced almost at will to accommodate maintenance. 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 13 The Virtual Server Concept Virtual servers can be scaled out easily. If the administrators find that the resources supporting a virtual server are being taxed too much, they can adjust the amount of resources allocated to that virtual server Server templates can be created in a virtual environment to be used to create multiple, identical virtual servers Virtual servers themselves can be migrated from host to host almost at will. 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 14 The Virtual Server Concept Pros Resource pooling Highly redundant Highly available Rapidly deploy new servers Easy to deploy Reconfigurable while services are running Optimizes physical resources by doing more with less Cons Slightly harder to conceptualize Slightly more costly (must buy hardware, OS, Apps, and now the abstraction layer) 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 15 Virtualization Status Offerings from many companies e.g. VMware, Microsoft, Sun, ... Hardware support Fits well with the move to 64 bit (very large memories) multi-core (concurrency) processors. Intel VT (Virtualization Technology) provides hardware to support the Virtual Machine Monitor layer Virtualization is now a well-established technology So what about Cloud Computing? 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 16 Suppose you are Forbes.com You offer on-line real time stock market data Why pay for capacity weekends, overnight? 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 17 9 AM - 5 PM, M-F ALL OTHER TIMES Rate of Server Accesses 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 18 Forbes' Solution Host the web site in Amazon's EC2 Elastic Compute Cloud Provision new servers every day, and deprovision them every night Pay just $0.10* per server per hour * more for higher capacity servers Let Amazon worry about the hardware! Cloud computing takes virtualization to the next step You don’t have to own the hardware You “rent” it as needed from a cloud There are public clouds e.g. Amazon EC2, and now many others (Microsoft, IBM, Sun, and others ...) A company can create a private one With more control over security, etc. 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 19 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 20 Goal 1 – Cost Control Cost Many systems have variable demands Batch processing (e.g. New York Times) Web sites with peaks (e.g. Forbes) Startups with unknown demand (e.g. the Cash for Clunkers program) Reduce risk Don't need to buy hardware until you need it 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 21 Goal 2 - Business Agility More than scalability - elasticity! Ely Lilly in rapidly changing health care business Used to take 3 - 4 months to give a department a server cluster, then they would hoard it! Using EC2, about 5 minutes! And they give it back when they are done! Scaling back is as important as scaling up 20090909_VirtualizationAndCloud 22 Goal 3 - Stick to Our Business Most companies don't WANT to do system administration Forbes says: We are is a publishing company, not a software company But beware: Do you really save much on sys admin?
