- 11. Getty Images Some Background •Founded in 1995 by Mark Getty and Jonathan Klein • We do photos, lots and lots of photos, as well as video and sound • >650 photographers in >60 countries • Getty Images, iStock, photos.com
- 12. Getty Images Technical Background •Technology stacks come from in-house development, third party vendors, and accretion from corporate acquisitions • Historically a VMware vSphere plus baremetal operation • Currently, about 5600 VMs across multiple geographically disparate datacenters • About 150 apps (in-house) across various Windows and Linux versions and distros • ~6PB of asset storage with 20PB nearing production
- 13. First there wasAWS • Started organically, uncontrolled, occasionally surprisingly expensive • Used for Elastic Map Reduce (EMR), POCs, greenfield initiatives (Embed, others) • Developers had the freedom, speed, TTD, etc.
- 14. Visibility, tracking andOPEX an issue for finance
- 15. Enter RightScale Needs • Initiallyreviewed vCAC from VMware, found it wanting • RightScale didn't have a Self-Service offering at the time • We really needed one so we built our own using the RightScale API • Cross-cloud capabilities • Single Pane of Glass • Flexible API Selection
- 16. Initial POC forPrivate Self-Service • Forward looking to control AWS spend and OPEX • Garner information/requirements for future, full service private cloud offering • Initially built with scripts and Jenkins as a UI (ugh) via RightAPI gem and RightScale Cloud Appliance for vSphere (RCA-V) to leverage existing VMware environment • RightScale Cloud Analytics started to give us some introspection into usage in VMware
- 17.
- 18. RightScale Self-Service Portal •VMware the initial target, to replace the Jenkins POC • PS engagement following on from the work with RCA-V • Added ADFS (Active Directory) SAML-based SSO • Cloud Application Templates (CATs) provided a nice ruby-like DSL • Initial CATs were analogs of existing work on POC with a few additional features (conditional options, multiple concurrent servers, etc.) • Also provided a set of base CATs for AWS usage
- 19. This all lookskinda familiar
- 20. Then came OpenStack •The “production” rollout of private cloud • Chosen as the next gen platform (over VMware, CloudStack, others) • Utilizes egress-only tunnel for integration with RightScale • Looking at using Packer and RightLink 10 to create custom images where necessary • A new suite of CATs that implement the additional, advanced features that OpenStack provides • Eventually unify OpenStack and AWS templates for migration of workloads • Leveraging Cloud Analytics for showback, resource planning, monitoring gaps
- 21.
- 22. And now comesDocker • New packaging for apps, environmental abstraction, zero-downtime deploys • Application self-awareness tools (consul, etcd, et al.) • Simplified configuration management and server templating • Using RightScale Self-Service Portal to launch and auto-classify a Docker host • Using Server Arrays to create underlying infrastructure for higher level resource managers (Mesos)
