How SUSE Is Helping You Rock The Public Cloud

How SUSE Is Helping You Rock The Public Cloud James Mason Robert Schweikert Technical Architect, Public Cloud jmason@suse.com Public Cloud Architect rjschwei@suse.com

Topics 2 A very quick and brief Public Cloud intro SLES On Demand Bring Your Own Subscription (BYOS) Containers Managing Your Deployments

What is the Public Cloud

The Public Cloud A Public Cloud makes Cloud resources available over a network that is open to anyone Everyone uses the cloud already 4 Gmail, G+, Facebook, FourSquare, Netflix,... All are cloud service based We will focus on IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)

IaaS 5 A server or a data center in the cloud User has systems administrator responsibility Treat the running server (instance) just as you would treat a physical server Update for security, bug fixes Set up and configure applications Removes the hardware handling responsibility HW failures are the providers problem Adding capacity, the providers problem Network wiring, the providers problem

The Public Cloud A collection of services Availability of massive resources around the world 6 DB, Data Analysis, Storage, others Or local for smaller Cloud Service Providers (CSP)

SUSE Linux Enterprise On Demand

On Demand images Fire up and use ready Maintained and published by SUSE 9 Repositories configured at boot Some images will be published by Orbitera in Marketplace Managed lifecycle Images get deprecated when replacement image is released Removed after 6 months Images updated for critical security issues

On Demand images 10 Contain special sauce Find region local update server Register with region local update server Not useful if you want to Use SUSE Manager to manage your updates Want to use your own SMT server Register with SCC

On Demand images Found in Quick Launch Wizard in Amazon EC2 General public image listing in Google Compute Engine 11 Also in the General Catalog in Amazon EC2 Aliases sles11 and sles12 for the command line tools General public image listing in HP Helion Public Cloud Gallery in Microsoft Azure

Update infrastructure for on demand 1 to N guests Provider framework Region 3 to N region servers Region 1 to N guests 2 to N SMT servers 12

On Demand Region Server Maps IP addresses to regions Hands out SMT server information for given region in random order SMT Servers Provide the updates region local No network charges Low latencies 13 We are about 1 order of magnitude faster than other distributions

On Demand 14 Special sauce Connect to region servers Register with SMT server Detect if the SMT server is not there for some reason and switch to sibling (HA failover)

On Demand The special sauce will interfere if you attempt to manage updates with a different SMT, SUSE Manager, or use SCC 15 Don't do that Use for Production if you do not have a direct relationship with SUSE for support Bursting Testing Kicking the tires If you do not want to connect Public Cloud instances to an existing update infrastructure in your data center

On Demand In a VPC/Virtual Network/... Need a route to connect to the SMT servers Use a proxy, routing tables, etc (depends on the framework) Use information service to find IP addresses of our servers 16 pint amazon servers (provides information of all infrastructure servers in AWS EC2) Information service (more about this later) python-susepubcloudinfo package REST API at https://susepubliccloudinfo.suse.com Use to find latest images Information about infrastructure servers

Bring Your Own Subscription

Bring Your Own Subscription Your existing entitlements are valid in the Public Cloud For SLES 11 need to sign addendum to EULA, see the BYOS announcement from SUSECon '14 1 socket pair entitlement is good for 2 virtual machines Entitlements are stackable No VCPU restriction on the instances Carries your existing support agreement to the Public Cloud 18 You get someone to call and complain when there are problems

Bring Your Own Subscription Use for Migration to the Public Cloud at the base CSP price Self-managed updates for bursting Extending your data center with Public Cloud resources permanently You can 19 Tie instances into your existing update infrastructure Add Live Patching to your BYOS instances

Bring Your Own Subscription We provide BYOS images In Amazon EC2, Google Compute Engine, HP Helion Public Cloud, Microsoft Azure SLES 11 SP4 SLES 12 SUSE Manager In Amazon EC2 20 SLES 11 SP3 images exist but are about to go away (life cycle policy applies) SLES 12 for SAP Applications

Bring Your Own Subscription Or you can... build your own images, with kiwi, SUSE Studio, or migration toolchains add any configuration management, applications/services clone your own base images But then... you still need to upload that image, different for different frameworks, some easier than others 21 See TUT8018 at SUSECon '14

Bring Your Own Subscription A few caveats: 22 we do generally not refresh the BYOS images Released on FCS date Removed at EOL (life cycle policy) no access to the on-demand update infrastructure you must provide your own (SUSE Manager, SMT, direct SCC, etc.) Can not convert on-demand images to BYOS and vice-verse

Containers

Containers Are also invading the Public Cloud SLES 12 fully integrated with Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS) Integration point with other providers is not yet obvious The Mythical App Container Thursday at 3:30 P.M. C-Lotenzaal 24

Managing Your Deployments

Managing Your Deployments 26 Public Cloud Module Command line tools SUSE maintained code

Public Cloud Module SLE 12 SLES 11 >= SP3 supported by SUSE Contains Initialization code for frameworks cloud-init, walinuxagent. Tools for interacting with Public Cloud frameworks (SLE 12 only) CSP tools (SLE 12 only) SUSE Linux Enterprise 12- Modules and Backports Thursday at 10:45 A.M. 9-Ontvangkamer 27

Enceladus Enceladus is the sixth-largest moon of Saturn. Cassini first discovered a water-rich plume; some of the water vapor from its 100 volcanic geysers falls back as "snow". The atmosphere of Enceladus is composed of 91% water vapor, 4% nitrogen, 3.2% carbon dioxide, and 1.7% methane. In other words, one big cloud. 32
