Implementation Roadmap Phase Proof of Concept Big Data Analytics In-car Services Objectives Half-rack deployment of OpenStack to run test use cases Compare against a Legacy Appliance to justify investment Phase 1 Production Infra. Big Data Analytics Pilot: 1 Rack Deploy Big Data Platform and Analytics Use Cases Build out the Production Cloud Phase 2 Big Data Analytics In-car Services Perform expansion of production Car Cloud Initiate deployment of In-Car Services Phase 3 In-car Services Global footprint Expand Production Car Cloud geographically Internal functions deployment
PoC: half-rack with OpenStack Use Cases Big Data Map App on Swift Map Updates Auto Scaling Operator Functions OpenStack Components Nova Swift Glance Cinder Keystone Horizon Heat HA/Proxy Notes: RHOS, Apache Hadoop, KVM (CentOS), Quanta
PoC Comparison vs. Legacy Appliance Use Case Tested for Comparative Purposes: A predefined and parsed data TMU data set is preloaded on Hadoop Map/Reduce transforms the data to a number of key and value pairs The Map/Reduce job is submitted Job is monitored for completion PoC Cost: $125K + Services Timeframe: 3 weeks Performance: 40 minutes Legacy Appliance Cost: $1.2MM Timeframe: 2 weeks Performance: Did not compute
Key Success Factors Success Factor Maintain Executive Sponsorship Position for Services Ensure cross-bu consensus Description ü Stand behind the cloud plan, revise it quarterly, stay committed to the journey ü Transition from a project/product approach to a services and solutions offerings ü Ensure BU s, including IT & Operations, are aligned on the Cloud objectives Standardize processes and offerings ü Standardize solutions to enable repeatability, minimizing customization Invest in the Cloud Competency Group Prepare for Hybrid (Public) Cloud ü Invest in building the necessary governance and cloud internal skills ü Review internal policies and procedures to establish a Hybrid cloud strategy
Make OpenStack Work! It s not the technology it s everything else! Incubate Isolate, then extend to the broader organization Create Competency Centers Focus on the Culture Independent of the legacy IT organization Build COEs e.g. infrastructure, platform, data, devops etc Create a separate culture that is not tied to legacy IT if possible Treat the business as a client Align to Business Agility Move to agile, but recognize that agile is a mindset, not a solution Enable fast fail cycles and experimentation to drive innovation Transform Governance Adapt Governance model to speed of change; strive for automation
