RightScale User Conference
The Challenge
• 2 Co-Lo Data Centres (Live/Failover) • Cost and complexity issues (circa 75% of capacity redundant 75%
of the time) • Cost and complexity issues (circa 90% of capacity redundant 25%
of the time)
RightScale User Conference
The Challenge • Core website platform ‘traditional’ virtualised VMWare environment – circa
1000+ VM • Linux/Java/Tomcat/Apache/Endeca stack • HP Server/NetApp Storage/Cisco Networking/F5 LB
• Mix of current and heritage applications • Accessing new capacity for Dev/Test and Production very inflexible,
inconsistent, labour intensive
• I&O activities ITIL based creating unnecessary delays in getting products released into live (circa 150 releases/week - Agile/XP 2 Week Sprints)
• Proactive DevOps engagement difficult due to the amount of fire fighting and manual work involved
• Inconsistencies in the manual builds of the VM Images meaning issues with stability/availability and success of releases
• New products require a lot of capacity guess work and capital investment in terms of infrastructure
RightScale User Conference
The Opportunity • Senior Management nervous regarding migration of crown
jewels into ‘bleeding edge’ cloud stuff
• New channels to the business coming on line • Leisure and Commercial Vehicles (Heavy Trucks, Plant
Machinery, etc)
• Green field application platform Linux/Java/Tomcat/MySQL/Endeca
• Low budget • Not clear as to how successful this would be (therefore
capacity planning guess work) • 1 Sys Admin
• Ideal proving ground
