5. Principles of Private Cloud
Perception of infinite capacity
Perception of continuous availability
Drive predictability
Service providers approach to delivering infrastructure
Resiliency over Redundancy
Minimise human involvement
Optimise resource usage
Incentivise desired resource consumption behaviour
(c) 2011 Microsoft. All rights reserved.

6. Resiliency over Redundancy
Redundancy model
Aim: To avoid failure
Redundancy at all layers
Fewer failures, but greater impact
Measured by mean-time between failures
Resiliency model
Aim: avoid service failure
Automated detection and response
More failures – but less impact
Measured by mean-time to restore service

7. Private Cloud – Two Viewpoints
Service Provider
Optimised resource usage
Large scale standardisation and optimisation
Classification of service
People and process aligned
Service Consumer
On demand self service
Elastic consumption of service
Utility style pricing
Well defined and constant quality of service
To create a Private Cloud for the service consumer, we must provide a dynamic datacentre to the service provider.

8. Principals of a Dynamic Datacentre
Cost Transparency
Homogenisation of physical resources
Pool compute resource
Fabric management
Consumption based pricing
Virtualised infrastructure
Service classification
Holistic approach to availability
Compute resource decay
Elastic infrastructure
Partitioning of shared resources
(c) 2011 Microsoft. All rights reserved.

9. Challenges with a Dynamic Datacentre
High levels of automation and orchestration needed
Process and standardisation are king
Shared services must cross previously siloed workgroups
Organisational and process change

10. IaaS Builds on Virtualisation
Admin/Tenant Interfaces
Additional layers required for IaaS
Orchestration Layer
Management Layer
Automation Layer
Virtualisation Layer
Virtualisation provides the foundation
Hardware Layer

11. IaaS Concepts – building blocks
Scale Unit
Resource Pool
Fault Domain
Upgrade Domain

12. IaaS - Concepts Working Together
Upgrade Domain
Scale
Unit +
Resource Pool
Fault Domain X
Resource Decay

13. Delivering Infrastructure-as-a-Service on the Microsoft Platform
Automated deployment of scale-units (up to 15+1 node clusters)
Self-service interface for automated provisioning and administration of VMs
Automated patching of hosts with no downtime to VMs
Automated fault detection and resolution
Built-in tenant and admin reporting (incl. chargeback model)
Automated deployment of management scale-units (additional sites)
Can be customised to integrate with business logic

14. Infrastructure-as-a-Service
System Architecture

15. Infrastructure-as-a-Service
Infrastructure Relationships
IAAS FABRIC
DATACENTER/SITE

Clusters
Hosts
Upgrade Domain

16. Infrastructure-as-a-Service
Tenant/Service Onboarding and Quota Management
Each Tenant will have a quota of “VM Units”
Each tenant will have one or more “Services”
Each Service will have a quota
Each Service will have opportunity provision/de-provision VMs
Scale Unit
Management Cluster

17. Infrastructure-as-a-Service
Virtual Machine Provisioning
Tenant Administrator chooses VMTemplate (vCPUs, Memory, Storage) and # of VMs to provision
VMs are automatically provisioned and registered for reporting and administration
Scale Unit 4
Management Cluster

18. Infrastructure-as-a-Service
Host Infrastructure Capacity Reporting and Management
Scale Unit
Infrastructure Admin reports on consumed and remaining VMUnit capacity
Management Cluster

19. Infrastructure-as-a-Service
Chargeback Reporting
Provisioned VMs are metered to provide total consumption (e.g. units x time)
Reported on at Tenant and Service level
Scale Unit
Management Cluster

20. Infrastructure-as-a-Service
Scale-Unit Provisioning
Scale unit is racked and cabled
LUNs and VLANs created manually (optional integration with 3rd parties)
Management Cluster
Hyper-V Core deployed to Hosts simultaneously
CSVs created and hosts added to failover cluster
Added to VMM as available capacity
Administrator enters scale unit data (hostnames, MAC Addresses) into Service Manager form

21. Infrastructure-as-a-Service
Host Infrastructure Patching
Patch Package
Applied to Upgrade Domain as ConfigMgr Patch Collection
Upgrade Domain set to VMM Maintenance Mode to evacuate VMs to available Hosts 1
Failover Clusters
Host Failover Position Determines Upgrade Domain
Repeat for all Upgrade Domain with no downtime for VMs

22. Infrastructure-as-a-Service
Host Infrastructure Failure and Maintenance
Maintenance can be scheduled to occur based on capacity reserve planning
Scale Unit
Critical hardware failure on Host
Virtual Machines are restarted on available host capacity
Greatly reduce costs of datacenter personnel and vendor maintenance contracts
Management Cluster
