Intel’s Cloud Journey
2013+
Hybrid Cloud
Large
Private Cloud
Limited
Public Cloud
Today
• 77% Virtualized (Traditional IT)
• 80% of New Servers in Private Cloud
• Under 1 Hour to Deploy Infrastructure
• Small number of SaaS apps in usage
• Land Applications in Minutes
• Open Cloud for Bursting
Capacity
• SaaS for non-differentiated
apps

Key Concepts
Abstract users from underlying Cloud providers
Support multiple cloud providers, both private and public
OpenStack and non-OpenStack is the reality
Common identity and entitlement services for reuse across
interfaces
Open Source first, minimize proprietary API lock-in
Minimize internal technical debt, utilize the community to scale
Stay pragmatic, as we scale – not always 100% greenfield

App Architectural Guidance
Item What you need to do
Design for failure Be highly available - assume and actively
test for failure
Stateless Compute Internal state will not be preserved
Scale out (not up) Scaling up always has a break point,
scaling horizontal close to “infinite”
Event driven Read requests from a queue instead of
synchronous calls
Web Services Utilize web services model to
publish/consume; RESTful is preferred
Security Build security into your app - Encrypt
everywhere
Prefer Eventual
Consistency
Shard data globally; Understand conflicts,
understand Paxos
DevOps/NoOps Use automation/remediation for
production, deploy continuously

Areas to Close for Enterprise
Keep VMs up for traditional/legacy apps:
1. Shared Block Storage – for boot volumes, and data
2. Live Migration for maintenance of hosts
3. Restart of instances when host fails
Enable a federated Hybrid cloud environment:
1. End users interface allowing for seamless use across zones, regions, and across clouds
2. Identity federated across instances and clouds
3. Orchestration across global/multiple instances
Highly Available Infrastructure Services (cloud built as cloud)
Secure, Auditable – Role Based Access, Regulatory Compliance, Audit Trails

Wrap Up - Summary
Our Direction = Federated, Interoperable and Open Cloud
• Strong success with our Enterprise Private Cloud
• Open Cloud in production to handle cloud architected apps,
enterprise apps up next
• Hybrid now, later just call it Cloud
• Lots of space and opportunity for us all to contribute
• Seeking other large scale Enterprises paving the path
