5. Ubuntu's Strategy in the Cloud

6. 6
Strategy
• IaaS
– Focus on infrastructure layer
• Bring the Ubuntu experience
– Make it as easy as possible for Enterprises to try out cloud computing
• Standards
– Support current dominant de-facto cloud standards
• Open and Lock-In Free
– Ensure the cloud is based on open-source and lock-in free

Ubuntu AMI – The #1 Public Cloud OS
•
– Images available since 2007
– Believed to be the most widely deployed OS
•
– Images available since 2008
– Confirmed as most widely deployed OS

UEC Adoption – The 1st
OSS Cloud Stack
• Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud
– 200 installs a day
• Market Engagement with FSI sector
– Bursty compute needs
– Multiple PoC engagements
– Developers rather Operations influential

11. 11
Five Characteristics:
- On Demand Service
- Ubiquitous Network Access
- Location Independent Resource Polling
- Rapid Elasticity
- Measured Service
Delivery Models
- Software as a Service (SaaS)
- Platform as a Service (PaaS)
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Deployment Models
- Private Cloud
- Public Cloud
- Hybrid Cloud
Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud

12. 12
Speed of Innovation
• Cloud reduces development friction and costs and so speeds innovation
– Benefits of Cloud not just from scale
• Cloud adoption is being driven by developers
– Ubuntu is the default non-Windows development platform
– Web 2.0 companies using Ubuntu and early adopters of cloud technology
• Opportunity
– Access to latest technologies needed for competitive advantage rather than
cost saving

13. UEC use cases

14. 14
UEC use cases
• Testing/Development
• Education/Training
• Web Services deployment and scaling
• Quickly create and tear-down IT environments
• Hybrid clouds
– Capacity scaling
– Disaster recovery
– Back up

15. 15
Developer Shop
• Developing software that sits on top of complex
infrastructures
• Developers need to test code against the entire
infrastructure
• It is inconceivable to give each developer a separate
infrastructure for testing, limiting edge effects
• With UEC, a developer can spin their own infrastructure to
test their code

16. 16
Cloud developer sizing
• L = average number of instances/developper (single cores)
• X = Number of developers
Current cost
• L = 20
• X = 100
→ L x X = 2000 cores
Projected cost with UEC
• M = 40% (average concurrent usage)
• V = 20% (virtualization overhead)
→ Y = ( (V x L) x X x M) + L) = 980 cores, 50% potential savings

Future Trends – Ubuntu Roadmap
Easy Hyperscale Focus on integrating tools, software and
technologies which make it easy for DevOps to
deploy workloads rapidly and without fuss.
The 1st
Cloud LAMP
Stack - BigData
Use of Hadoop, Cassandra, Memcached is
driving IaaS adoption in the Enterprise
