2. S AA S P AA S I AA S Hyper-V Clouds – IT as a Service

3. Cloud Benefits  Reliability and predictability –Applications are highly available, fault tolerant –Remediation from failure is simple (re-start, re-deploy)  Highly automated –Ratio of servers/admins is ~50:1 in enterprises today –Ratio of servers/admins is ~500:1 in “cloud” datacenters  Agility and speed –Applications are deployed, changes are made, remediation is executed in minutes –Deploying applications takes weeks in the enterprise and it needs to be days  Focus is on applications/services –Results are measured relative to service quality  Reliability and predictability –Applications are highly available, fault tolerant –Remediation from failure is simple (re-start, re-deploy)  Highly automated –Ratio of servers/admins is ~50:1 in enterprises today –Ratio of servers/admins is ~500:1 in “cloud” datacenters  Agility and speed –Applications are deployed, changes are made, remediation is executed in minutes –Deploying applications takes weeks in the enterprise and it needs to be days  Focus is on applications/services –Results are measured relative to service quality SCVMM 2012 is designed to bring cloud benefits to the enterprise datacenter

5. Highly Available VMM Server VMM Server is now cluster aware so there’s no single point of failure Can use Multisite Clustering to provide site resilience of VMM + SQL Upgrade From VMM 2008 R2 SP1 to VMM 2012 RTM Upgrades from VMM 2012 RC to VMM 2012 RTM are not supported! Custom Properties Name/Value pairs No need to use Custom1…Custom10 Powershell Fully powershell scriptable Powershell 2.0 – standard verbs, noun naming convention VMM 2012 Deployment

6. Fabric Management - 1 Physical Server Manage multiple hypervisors – Hyper-V, VMware, Xen Server hardware management – IPMI, DCMI, SMASH, Custom via Provider Host provisioning – from baremetal -> Hyper-V -> Cluster Network Define Logical Networks using VLANs and Subnets per datacenter location Address management for Static IPs, Load Balancer VIPs and MAC addresses Automated provisioning of Load Balancers via Provider NLB,F5,Netscaler, Brocade Storage Storage Management using SMI-S Discover storage arrays and pools Classify storage based on throughput and capabilities Discover or configure LUNs and assign to hosts and clusters Rapid provisioning of VMs using snap cloning of LUNs

7. Fabric Management - 2 Update Management of Fabric Servers Update operation control (On-demand scan and on-demand remediation) Updating a Hyper-V cluster is fully automated Integrated with Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) Dynamic Optimization (DO) Cluster level workload balancing scheme to optimize for VM performance Leverages live migration to move workloads Enhanced Placement Over 100 placement checks/validation Support for custom placement rules Multi-VM deployment for Services

8. Fabric Management - 3 Power Optimisation Dynamic optimization based on workload demands Power management based on policy Highly available private cloud infrastructure Expanded PowerShell support

10. Cloud Provider View – “The Admin” Cloud Consumer View – “The User” Private Clouds Logical Networks Load Balancers IP Address Pools MAC Address Pools Storage Classifications Storage Capacity Storage Pools Storage Providers Storage Arrays StorageNetwork Server Capacity Capabilities Libraries Hosts Clusters Library Servers

11. Private Cloud Usage Scenario Configure the fabric (servers, network, storage) Create a cloud from the fabric Delegate the cloud to a Self Service User Self Service User creates VMs and Services in the cloud

12. Cloud Capacity Cloud can expose Aggregate capacity of underlying resources (vCPU, Memory, Storage) Oversubscription is allowed Dimensions of Capacity vCPUs Memory Storage Number of deployed VMs (VMs in Library are not counted) Custom Quota (to support quota points from VMM 2008 R2)

13. Cloud Capabilities Cloud can Host highly available VMs Allow VMs to use dynamic disks or differencing disks Enable network optimizations VM “shape” limits. Built-in set representing underlying limits for Hyper-V, XenServer, VMware. E.g. For Hyper-V: Set vCPU Range (i.e. 1 - 4) Set Memory Range (i.e. 16MB – 64 GB) Set Number of disks (0 – 255) Set Number of NICs (0 – 12)

14. User Roles and Scope VMM Admin Delegated Admin Read-only Admin Self-Service User

15. Controlling Usage by Self-Service Users Revocable actions – fine-grained action control  Template control (Create\Author), VM Control(Start\Stop..), Read-only Quota – 2 Types of Quota  Shared – total usage of all members of the user role  Per-user – usage of each member of the user role Dimensions of Quota  vCPUs  Memory  Storage  Number of deployed VMs (VMs in Library are not counted)  Custom Quota (to support quota points from VMM 2008 R2)

16. Building and Delegating Clouds Demo Create Private Cloud Delegate to Users Self Service

17. Services in VMM 2012 Starting point for services and source of truth Specifies machine and connectivity requirements Deployed services are always linked to their templates Enables servicing of the instances Template Groups of machines that work together Includes machine definitions as well as applications Native application types: Web Applications (WebDeploy) Virtual Applications (Server App-V Package) Database Applications (SQL DAC) Instance

18. Why use Services?  Manage multi-tier applications across multiple servers as a single unit  Scale out based on demand  Composibility of OS and Applications, allows users to manage fewer OS images

19. Service Lifecycle Management Create Template Customize Deployment Deploy Service Update Template and Apply to Service

20. Create Service Template  Template is a starting point –Author the template in the new Service Designer  Defines machines and their connectivity –Tiers, Hardware, Logical Networks, OS, Apps, Load Balancer templates etc.  Deployed services are always linked to their templates  Typically information like hosts or load balancers is not available while creating template Create Template Customize Deployment Deploy Service Update Service
