How to be Amazon

BECOMING AN IAAS PROVIDER

Introduction This presentation tells about the efforts of IT in my

company, to become an IAAS provider.

Of course, you cannot be Amazon. BUT, you can emulate in your own modest scale the approach of being a cloud provider.

Tenemos un plan

We have a plan :

• Scripts: • Manage your

object by scripts only

Repo collection

• Encapsulate your script as jenkins jobs.

Bussines API

• Cost Estimation

Cost report

• Sync OpenCart / Jenkins

Provisioning portal

Plan phases:

Phase I: Scripts

Fase I: Scripts

The life cycle of our objects should be managed by scripts only.

We do not create nor destroy objects directly.E.G: Create DNS alias script.

Phase II : Encapsulate scripts as jenkins jobs.

Phase II: Encapsulate scripts as jenkins job.

Create a job for each script that you want to publish Benefits:

We have created a centralized API with permissions, audit log. Anyone in the team could execute the script. This bussiness API could be invoked from other platforms. E.G from Slack.

Phase III : Cost estimation.

Phase III: Costs calculation.

Calculate the costs of the service we provide to the organization.

Showback : providing management with an analysis of the IT costs due to each department for each delivered services, without actually cross-charging.

• Invoices• Chargeback• Billing

• Infraestructure cost.

• Unit pricing.

• Usage report per proyect and department

• Data Inventory + Events

• Capacity planning

What items do I have ? ( servers …)

Whet proyects are

in the company ?

We generate usage reports.

Phase IV: Making a self provisioning portal

Phase IV: e-commerce solution

We have a services catalog, and their relates prices, so we offer it in a human friendly way, a shop.

We use the web app opencart https://www.opencart.com/ , dockerized.

Why Opencart ? It is an standard, opensource lamp. Easy customization

Our provisioning portal

Jenkins Opencart synchronization Given any jenkins job, we have an script to export it to an

opencart product.

Opencart Jenkins synchronization For each pending order in opencart, we trigger a build in the

related jenkins job, with the arguments provided.

ConclusionsBy making a portal to offer to the company a service

catalog with prices and self provisioing, we have became an IAAS provider.

Now we have an unified API. This allow us to interconnect third party platforms to enchance service provided.

Also, the organization has visibility of the service IT delivers. The departments could use it, with predictable costs.
