The Agile Twist

6+ month cycles Dev/test phases Software development life cycle Pressure to Ship 6+ week cycles Testing squeeze Agile development life cycle Frequent Pressure to Ship

  • Typical IT provisioning requests take 2 to 4 weeks per request
  • Difficult to change and recycle dev/test environments on‐demand

Challenges Faced By Development and Test Teams

Self‐service Provisioning

1

  • Agile development model requires Agile IT

Provisioning Flexibility & Scalability

  • Can not easily replicate production or staging environments
  • Hard to scale to 1000s of users without impacting performance

Collaboration & Workflow

  • Resolving complex bugs require snapshots of full environments
  • Cannot share environments and collaborate w/ remote teams

Three Different Cloud Architectures

Private Cloud Hybrid Cloud Public Cloud External Cloud

9

  • In‐house “cloud” resources
  • IT project, new sw/hw
  • Ideal for predictable workloads
  • Requires capital expense
  • Bridges external to internal
  • May require IT support
  • Ideal for mixed workloads
  • Requires capital expense
  • On‐demand provisioning, scale
  • Minimal IT, Ready to go
  • Ideal for dynamic workloads
  • Pay as you go flexibility

Dev Test Workload Management

Dynamic Dev Test Workloads

Ideal for Hybrid Clouds

Predictable Workloads

Ideal for Enterprise Data Centers

  • Contextual for IT operations
  • Limited IT resources
  • User managed changes
  • 30% of the environment

70% of change requests

  • Core to IT operations
  • Dedicated IT resources
  • IT managed changes
  • 70% of the environment

30% of change requests Predictable Dynamic

Dynamic Predictable Enterprises are moving dynamic dev test workloads to the cloud

  • Cloud model provides for dynamic capacity management
  • Automation solutions decrease IT support burden

Case Study: Boeing Cloud

Sit Situation: Needed ad-hoc cloud capacity to test and deliver data center applications p y pp Solut Solution R Requirem iremen ents : :

  • 1. Distributed IT users; 10s of users in England and US. 2 different vendors
  • 2. Base dev/test configurations contained 200+ VMs; ability to refresh at will
  • 3. Multi-platform support, Windows / Java applications, BMC, HP applications

Cl Cloud U

  • ud Usage:

age:

  • Built and tested complex data center management applications
  • Expanded usage to multiple data center management applications
  • Utilize a ‘hybrid’ on-site / on-demand model; connect back to internal services

Cus Customer Benefit Benefits:

  • Saved several thousand dollars in up front capital expense
  • Provisioning time down from 20+ days to less than one hour
  • Ability to configure and change new environments increased exponentially
  • Deferred hiring 2 FTE for IT management and configuration build-up/tear down
