VMware vCloud Automation Center Mission

Infrastructure Automation

Provision and manage infrastructure services on VMware private and public

clouds, other hypervisors, physical servers, Amazon EC2 and other public clouds

based on business and IT policies.

App Delivery & Release Automation

Model and automate the deployment and lifecycle of applications on any infrastructure using blueprints

to standardize application components and policies to automate app release process.

IT as a Brokerof Services

Deploy, manage and govern access to IT datacenter

services such as virtual desktops, Hadoop clusters, employee onboarding, storage,

exchange mailboxes, and more.

Multi-platform

Next Generation Application Innovation:Evolving practices and technologies

• What is the customer trying to do?– Increase development and innovation for a new class of web, cloud and mobile applications

– Increase management and efficiency for a specific class of mission critical operational applications

– Leverage existing Vmware infrastructure assets and skills

– Re-invest operational efficiency savings into new application development and environment readiness

• What should you and the customer consider?

• What are the deployment and runtime requirements specific to the application type(s)

• What are the flexibility and agility demand of the developers and DevOps teams

Application classes and attributes to consider

Infrastructure independent applications

• Horizontally scalable, both data and app.

• Apps do not need to package entire stack to run.

• Stateless. Application does not depend on data stored in memory or on local disk during user interactions.

• API first, micro-services architecture

• Built for mobile first

• Loosely coupled to data services.

Infrastructure dependent applications

• Applications that have dedicated IP requirements

• Stateful - e.g. uses session data or local disk for user interactions

• Client server architecture

• Packaged applications; requiring the software components to all be updated at the same time

• Scale vertically – capacity increases require changes in infrastructure characteristics

VMware and Pivotal: Better TogetherUse Case 2: Orchestrate Continuous Delivery with Vmware DevOps on PCF PaaS

Vmware DevOps Product Pivotal CF PaaS

Let’s see it in action…

Story 1: Application Innovation Begins

• Goal: Develop modern, cloud-enabled application

• Demo:– Use Pivotal CF to instantiate services

– Use Pivotal CF to deploy applications into standardized sandbox

– Bind applications to services

– Experiment: try different services, scale applications, etc.

Story 1: Publish PaaS App with Enterprise Services

13

• Goal: Enable LOB team to continually develop SpringTrader app for Production purposes

• LOB Requirements: Ensure use of approved development stack with “zero touch” experience

• IT Requirements: LOB must use standardized, Enterprise-class services (e.g. Oracle) that adhere to compliance requirements

• Demo:• Model Pivotal CF Build Packs

• Model Pivotal CF Managed Services (e.g. Rabbit MQ)

• Model Enterprise Services in vCAC (e.g. Oracle DB)

• Register Artifact Repository (e.g. Artifactory)

• Model PaaS-based Application with Pivotal CF & Enterprise Services

• Publish to Catalog

Summary• Pivotal CF Platform as a Service:

– Enables agility and short time to value for the developer

– Supplies enterprise standardized deployment environment for development through production

– Provides operational benefits including dynamic routing, log aggregation, containerization, high availability

• vCloud Automation Center: – Automates the delivery of infrastructure and enterprise standardized applications across multiple cloud

and platforms

– Enables lifecycle management of infrastructure and applications

– Automates the application release process

• Together: Pivotal CF and vCloud Automation Center provide a complete continuous delivery platform for infrastructure-based and infrastructure independent applications
