 (Cloud) Outage as a Service
 Reasons to fail
 To prevent theoretically
 To prevent in the field
 Basic approaches in the cloud
 Summary & Prospects
 Q&A

(CLOUD) OUTAGE AS A SERVICE Cloud Computing is not simple

(CLOUD) OUTAGE AS A SERVICE
Observation: The usual suspects!
Either provider or customer.
Mostly the same errors.

(CLOUD) OUTAGE AS A SERVICE
„Everything fails all the time” – Werner Vogels, CTO Amazon.com

REASONS TO FAIL Cloud Computing is not simple

REASONS TO FAIL
The (public) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider only offers
resources to build a virtual data center on top of its cloud infrastructure.
As a customer YOU are responsible for the architecture, design,
scalability and availability of your applications and systems.

REASONS TO FAIL
- No self-responsibility - the customer have to do things on its own.
- Bad architecture - the cloud requires different application models.
- Lack of knowledge - think distributed.
- No self-reflection - not to learn from one's mistakes.

VM/ Server
REASONS TO FAIL
Scale Up vs. Scale Out
Cores
RAM
Storage
Scale Up
VM1
Scale Out
VM2 VM3 VM4 VMx

TO PREVENT THEORETICALLY Cloud Computing is not simple

TO PREVENT THEORETICALLY
Virtual machines are no server - its programmable software!
> Software-defined Scalability (SDS)
> Software-defined High-Availability (SDHA)

TO PREVENT IN THE FIELD Cloud Computing is not simple

TO PREVENT IN THE FIELD
Not only use some connected server.
- Develop for the cloud.
- Design for failure.
- Think about scalabilty and availibilty from the beginning!
- Learn from the mistakes (of others).

TO PREVENT IN THE FIELD
„The Netflix Simian Army“
- Chaos Monkey - kills instances randomly.
- Chaos Gorilla - simulates an outage of an entire Availability Zone.
- Chaos Kong - simulates an outage of an entire region.
For Amazon Web Services, Eucalyptus Cloud and OpenStack.

BASIC APPROACHES IN THE CLOUD Cloud Computing is not simple

BASIC APPROACHES IN THE CLOUD
- ProfitBricks
- HybridCluster
- Business-Bricks-as-a-Service (BBaaS)
- Multi-Cloud

ProfitBricks
Live Vertical Scaling
- Scale Up
- Automatically adds CPUs and RAM to VMs when needed.
- If the VM reaches its resource limits another starts.

ProfitBricks

HybridCluster
Intelligent Autoscaling
- Container for applications + automatic live migration
High-Availability Platform
- ZFS handles snapshots and backups to synch over cluster

HybridCluster
Intelligent Autoscaling
High-Availability Platform

Business-Bricks-as-a-Service (BBaaS)
- Each brick works autonomous and has a failover concept.
- Integrated scalability and high-availability.
- Various bricks can be combined to a unified brick.
- Use over simple API calls within an existing application.

Business-Bricks-as-a-Service (BBaaS)

Multi-Cloud
Champions League
- spread applications and systems over several clouds
- more complex, more capable, (more expensive)
- maximum scalability and high-availability, cost-effective

SUMMARY & PROSPECTS Cloud Computing is not simple

SUMMARY & PROSPECTS
- Don‘t rely on the infrastructure of your IaaS provider.
- Show self-responsibility and understand the cloud concepts.
- Develop for the cloud and consider scale up and scale out.
- Don't put all your eggs in one nest. Spread them to cut risk.

SUMMARY & PROSPECTS
- There‘s a need for more simplicity in IaaS offerings.
- Workaround: Use PaaS - but with a different control level.
- Multi-cloud discussions rising due to outages and bankrupts.
- There‘s a lack of IT professionals for the cloud age.
