System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 - Whats New
1. System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012What’s In It and How It Enables Building Private Clouds and Federation to Public Clouds Amit Gatenyo Infrastructure & Security Manager, Dario Microsoft Regional Director – Windows Server & Security 054-2492499 Amit.g@dario.co.il
2. Session Objectives Provide an overview of VMM 2012 Provide information on cloud (IAAS) management using VMM 2012
5. Cloud Benefits Reliability and predictability Applications are highly available, fault tolerant Remediation from failure is simple (re-start, re-deploy) Highly automated Ratio of servers/admins is ~50:1 in enterprises today Ratio of servers/admins is ~500:1 in “cloud” datacenters Agility and speed Applications are deployed, changes are made, remediation is executed in minutes Deploying applications takes weeks in the enterprise and it needs to be days Focus is on applications/services Results are measured relative to service quality SCVMM 2012 is designed to bring cloud benefits to the enterprise datacenter
6. SCVMM 2012 Investment Areas Fabric Services Cloud Deployment Fabric Management Hyper-V Bare Metal Provisioning Update Management Hyper-V, VMware, Citrix XenServer Dynamic Optimization Network Management Power Management Storage Management Cluster Management
7. Highly Available VMM Server Addresses key customer ask VMM server is now cluster aware so there’s no single point of failure Upgrade From VMM 2008 R2 to VMM 2012 RC From VMM 2012 RC to VMM 2012 RTM Custom Properties Name/Value pairs No need to use Custom1…Custom10 Powershell Fully PowerShell scriptable Powershell 2.0 – standard verbs, noun naming convention Backward compatible with VMM 2008 R2 scripting interface Deployment and Upgrade
8. Fabric Management Physical Server Manage multiple hypervisors – Hyper-V, VMware, Xen Server hardware management – IPMI, DCMI, SMASH, Custom via Provider Host provisioning – from baremetal to Hyper-V to Cluster provisioning Network Define Logical Networks using VLANs and Subnets per datacenter location Address management for Static IPs, Load Balancer VIPs and MAC addresses Automated provisioning of Load Balancers via Provider Storage Storage Management using SMI-S Discover storage arrays and pools Classify storage based on throughput and capabilities Discover or configure LUNs and assign to hosts and clusters Rapid provisioning of VMs using snap cloning of LUNs
9. Fabric Management Update Management of Fabric Servers Update operation control (On-demand scan and on-demand remediation) Updating a Hyper-V cluster is fully automated Integrated with Windows Server Update Server Dynamic Optimization (DO) Cluster level workload balancing scheme to optimize for VM performance Leverages live migration to move workloads Power Optimization (PO) Leverages live migration to pack more VMs per host Powers down servers to optimize for power utilization Enhanced Placement Over 100 placement checks/validation Support for custom placement rules Multi-VM deployment for Services
13. Private Clouds Private Cloud Abstraction that enables opaque usage model for service and VM management Fabric Compute: Logical grouping of hosts or clusters in host groups Storage: Storage Classifications, Pools, Providers and Arrays Network: Logical Networks, IP/MAC Address Pools, Load Balancers, VIP Templates Delegation - User Role Quota: Defines per-user limits on compute, memory, storage, number of VMs
14. Cloud Capacity Cloud can expose Aggregate capacity of underlying resources (vCPU, Memory, Storage) Oversubscription is allowed Dimensions of Capacity vCPUs Memory Storage Number of deployed VMs (VMs in Library are not counted) Custom Quota (to support quota points from VMM 2008 R2)
15. Cloud Capabilities Cloud can Host highly available VMs Allow VMs to use dynamic disks or differencing disks Enable network optimizations VM “shape” limits Processor Range (i.e. 1 - 4) Memory Range (i.e. 16MB – 32 GB) Number of disks (0 – 7) Number of NICs (0 – 7) … Built-in set representing underlying limits for Hyper-V, Xen, VMware
16. User Roles and Scope VMMAdmin Delegated Admin Self-Service User Read-only Admin
17. Controlling Usage by Self-Service Users Revocable actions – fine-grained action control Author, VM Control, Read-only Quota – 2 Types of Quota Shared – total usage of all members of the user role Per-user – usage of each member of the user role Dimensions of Quota vCPUs Memory Storage Number of deployed VMs (VMs in Library are not counted) Custom Quota (to support quota points from VMM 2008 R2)
18. Service Lifecycle Management Service Templates Used to model a multi-tier application Source of truth for deployed service configuration Applications Built-in support for Web deploy, Server App-V, SQL DAC Custom command execution for other application packages Image-based OS separated from apps Composed during deployment Servicing Change the template and then apply that change to deployed instances Upgrade domains ensures application availability during servicing
19. Sharing Among Application Owners An application owner authors the service template and then shares that template with his team to deploy the application Shareable Objects Resource group – group of on-disk library objects which user considers interchangeable Profiles (Hardware, Guest OS, Application, SQL) Templates (VM, Service) Virtual machine Service
21. Federation to Public Clouds Using “Concero” Customer Partner Services “Concero” Windows Azure Platform Appliance Windows Azure Platform Appliance Microsoft VMM 2012 VMM Future VMM 2012 VMM 2012 VMM 2012 VMM 2012 Windows Azure Hyper-V, VMware, Xen Hyper-V, VMware, Xen Hyper-V, VMware, Xen Hyper-V, VMware, Xen Hyper-V, VMware, Xen Hyper-V, VMware, Xen Fabric Concero 1.0 Azure – PaaS Public Cloud IT Pro experience for Azure RBAC using on-premise domain credentials Single view for multiple Azure subscriptions VMM – IaaS Private Clouds Manage services across multiple VMM servers Web based – self service experience
