This document discusses building private and hybrid clouds using RightScale cloud management tools. It describes RightScale as the #1 cloud management system, managing deployments for over 4 years globally. It defines what a cloud is, where RightScale fits in managing applications and infrastructure across public and private clouds. It highlights benefits like control, flexibility, and performance that customers gain from deploying private and hybrid cloud solutions with RightScale. Finally, it provides an overview of how to easily get started with a RightScale account and deploy server templates across diverse resource pools.

- 2. 2# RightScale • World‟s #1 cloud management system • Managing cloud deployments for 4+ Years – globally • More than 45,000 users; launched over 3M servers • Powering the largest production deployments on the cloud Real Cloud Experience. Shared.
- 3. 3# What do we mean by “Cloud”? • A cloud is a physical datacenter entity behind an API endpoint • What does that really mean? • Amazon Web Services is not a cloud • EC2 is not a cloud • Eucalyptus, Cloud.com, OpenStack are not clouds • EC2 US-East, „my private cloud‟… these are clouds • An availability zone is not a cloud (but it is part of one) Think of a cloud as a “resource pool” accessed via an API Real Cloud Experience.

- 12. 12# Multi-Cloud Hot HA Example Multi-Cloud looks similar to Multi-AZ… but there are additional problems to solve as some resources are not shared across clouds You need DNS management Security is an issue as security or a global load balancer groups are Region-specific. Images for cloud servers are specific to the cloud/region. You need to copy or replicate data yourself as EBS snapshots are specific to the source AZ. Getting the data out requires a slave sync or taking LVM snapshots and transferring the data. Real Cloud Experience. Shared.

Editor's Notes
- #10: RightScale manages clouds Private cloud partners enable (Cloud.com, Eucalyptus) Together:Speed to implementationPurpose-built solutionIntegrated technologiesMarket view & business model alignmentAWS-compatible hybrid environmentsTwo support optionsOpen source: Free editionCommercial: Equivalent features, functionality and commercial offerings to that with RightScale & AWS
- #13: Differences to clarify from Multi-AZ…Don’t be fooled by similarity of appearance…Some resources are not shared across clouds (images, Elastic IPs and Snapshots)…These are problems you have to solve… Images we have made easyElastic IPsyou need a global load balancer somewhere… or use DNSHave to copy the data yourself for snapshots. You can have a replicating slave in the cloud…Or backups to a common place like S3 (constraint is that EBS snapshots are only good in the same AZ)To get a snapshot multi- cloud portable you 1) slave sync or 2) take LVM snapshots and upload the data somewhere
