9. Characteristics of IaaS Clouds
Standardization. Construct virtual data
centers by pooling compute, storage, and
networking resources together
Offers self-service. Construct Service
Catalogs, application architectures can be
deployed by non-technical people or by
automated triggers such as ticketing
systems
Secure multi-tenancy, ability to run
multiple organisations on the same platform
Report consumption, permit charge or
show back of what has been consumed and
allow for different cost models
Programmatic control via open APIs,
ability to automate tasks and ensure
mobility or resources between clouds
10. To make this possible, cloud requires new resource abstractions

! Define standard collections of
VMs called vApps
! Create Organizations and
manage users with RBAC
! Provide UI for users to self

• Set policies for vApp, storage lease
! Uses the OVF standard
• Captures meta data about the VMs
• Allows import and export between
clouds in standard format

14. Fast Provisioning using Linked Clones For Improved Agility
Overview
• Provisions new VMs from a template
without replicating the entire image
• Instead, links the images (clones) so that
common elements are stored only once

Benefits
• Dramatically speeds up provisioning time
Template from >2 minutes to <5 seconds

• Reduces storage footprint (and cost) by
over 60%
