1 AVCIT & CIO FY BUDGET PLANNING INTERNAL USE Rails Environment Upgrade (VM Migration, Framework Upgrade) ABBA Category Two: Information Technology 1. Amount of OneTime Funding Request (FY 1112): 110,000 The primary goal of this project is to migrate most (if not all) existing ISTAS supported Rails. 25k for IS support, 85k developer support 2. Control Unit/Department Funding Contribution: %25 of Architect for approx 18 months = approx 50k k benefits, or 68, Department(s) to receive funding: IST Application Services 4. Project Manager: Sponsor: JR Schulden / Bill Allison Functional Owner: Michael Mundrane Project Manager: Tom Tsai 5. Describe the Activity: The primary goal of this project is to migrate most (if not all) existing ISTAS supported Ruby on Rails applications currently deployed on the webfarm to the new VM platform. Migrations of these applications to the new VMs are critical steps to ensure software quality of service and long term sustainability of these applications including security, performance, scalability, availability, and reliability. Essentially, the migration effort involves four major parts: 1. Upgrade Ruby on Rails framework, libraries, and retrofit with tests. 2. ColdFusion Rewrite ProofofConcept (to Ruby on Rails). 3. Migrate applications to the new VM environment. 4. Begin assessing requirements for next generation Rails hosting via cloud services (with Unix team). Upgrade Framework, Libraries and Retrofit With Tests Before we can migrate existing Ruby on Rails applications to the new VM environment, we will need to upgrade the Ruby on Rails framework for each application as well as all of their dependent libraries. Lastly, two of the current applications were developed without comprehensive unit and integration tests. We will retrofit these applications with tests as well as perform some muchneeded refactoring to lower ongoing costs, and create a more stable, maintainable and secure code base. ColdFusion Rewrite ProofOfConcept (to Ruby on Rails) One of the objectives of this project is to design an agile template & process to reliably and rapidly rewrite ColdFusion applications into the current Rails framework. ISTAS currently supports number of applications built on ColdFusion technology that are at the end of their lifecycle. ColdFusion is an older technology no longer fully supported and vendor has no specific plan or roadmap for its future. Applications built on this legacy technology must be either decommissioned or rewritten in a viable technology/platform such as Ruby on Rails. Migrate Applications to Modern VM Environment We currently have 5 Rails applications deployed on the Unix webfarm, which is at the end of its lifespan. Unfortunately, the version of ruby that is available on the webfarm (ruby1.8.5) is extremely outdated. It is so outdated (ruby1.8.5 is around 5 years old), that a large number of April 25,
2 AVCIT & CIO FY BUDGET PLANNING INTERNAL USE ruby librariesincluding the Ruby on Rails framework itselfwill not work under ruby This puts us in the awkward position of not being able to update these applications and apply critical security fixes that are being released for the Ruby on Rails framework, as well as several other libraries we are using in our applications. In order to eliminate the risk we are exposing ourselves to, we will migrate these applications off of the webfarm onto new VMs that have been configured according to Application Services standard VM template. These new VMs will be managed by the Unix group and will use Redhat 5 (or Redhat 6), both of which have modern versions of ruby and will allow us to upgrade the Ruby on Rails framework. List of applications in consideration include: * Security Contact * Offsite Hosting * UCProposals * VSPa * Calmessages * CTCSystemInventory Cloud Requirements for Rails Applications Concurrent with the replatforming work, the team will work in conjunction with Internet2, the Office of the CIO, Infrastructure Services, and the Office of the CPSO to explore possible future paths for cloud hosting (or University cloudfronting) of Rails applications. We expect to review platform profiles for Google AppEngine, Salesforce.com/Heroku, CloudFoundry, and HP Cloud. This work is initial exploration and research, along with a likely POC deployment of one of our nonsensitive apps without University data to assess performance, bottlenecks, data integration and maintainability issues. 6. Describe the significance of the activity, indicating how the activity is in alignment with Chancellor s objectives (see : All three phases of this proposal are designed to position a robust, sustainable and lowcost platform for tactical web applications for the University. In addition, these efforts will all lead to enhanced security and reliability, and will positionally align the Application Services requirements for Rails applications with the strategic direction of the Unix team in Infrastructure Services to use virtualization and ultimately cloud computing. Besides the technical merits of this proposal, the efforts will lead to enhanced expertise in IST the benefits of which will be passed onto our customers in the form of lower project costs and greater expertise in our technology platforms.
3 AVCIT & CIO FY BUDGET PLANNING INTERNAL USE 7. Work Plan Provide a work plan for the proposed solution with highlevel steps to complete the solution, including timeline. (Try to limit your plan to no more than seven steps.) Milestone Planning & Requirements Gathering/Analysis Designs and ProofofConcept Environment Setups & Configuration (eg. Continuous Integration Automation, DEV/QA/PROD Env Setups, etc) Upgrades and Refactoring (eg. framework, JRuby, code refactoring, etc) Migration and QA Testing (eg. migrate to new VMs, regression testing, etc) Timeline 1 2 months 2 4 months 12 months 24 months 24 months 6. Develop Automated Test Suites 23 months 8. Describe any savings or increase in income that will result from this activity, and how it will be measured. Distinguish savings in time and/or money, and identify any resulting reduction of staffing levels. This project would set the standards as well as lay the foundation for deployment of campus Ruby on Rails and Java applications on the new VM environment. It also promotes and leads the webfarm migration & VM hosting initiatives for current and future IT projects. Upgrades & migration of existing Ruby on Rails applications could help decrease costs of sustaining these systems considerably over time. It also helps mitigates cost of risks related to application security, performance, availability, and reliability. Knowledge, experience, and lessons learnt from this project would also give us essential information for planning, designing, and estimating similar and related initiatives in the future. 9. Funding: describe the overall funding plan for this activity. Describe any costsharing, matching, or external fund sources that might be used to support the activity. Funding would be provided to the ISTAS budget as functional owner and based on the attached project budget plan. ISTAS would, in turn, hire staff within IST to complete this project. ISTAS would also contribute approximately.25% of ISTASAG FTE. April 25,
