Today, the model of hybrid cloud comes under the eyes of a lot of organizations. The idea of combining resources of public cloud providers with private depending on the terms of execution, the need of more resources, an extra protection of the data, more or less security in services with sensitive information, etc. are some of the capabilities that this model has to answer. The case of CSUC, acting as cloud provider and at the same time as user of external IaaS and PaaS services, is analyzed sharing its first experiences in the way to archive a real multicloud architecture to provide services for catalan universities and research institutions.

16. •Hybrid Cloud Model

17. Vision: Hybrid by default
'True Hybrid Cloud consists
of at least one or more
private clouds with most
of public cloud features
and at least one or more
public clouds'
Some challenges:
- Procurement Strategy
- Network Strategy
- Mgmt Strategy
- Security Strategy

21. • Selfservice or managed services
• MULTICLOUD Hybrid Architecture
• OpenNebula 5.x ecosystem
• Aligned to ‘culture’
Example PaaS environments
CSUC –> IaaS and PaaS services

22. Open Cloud Power
Inter-operable
100% Open Source
Service oriented
WebUI & CLI
Free to test: R&E catalan institutions

Getting Started with InnerSource

30. This addon gives Opennebula the posibility
to manage resources in Vmware vCloud
Infraestructures.
It includes virtualization and monitoring drivers.
Opennebula vCloud driver

31. • Deploy, stop, shutdown, reboot, save, suspend,
resume and delete VM’s in the Virtual Data Centers
hosted in the vCloud CSP.
• Create, delete and revert snapshots of VM’s.
• Change RAM and CPU values of VM.
• It’s able to hot-attach and detach NICs to VM’s.
• Automatized customization of the VMs instanciated.
• Obtain monitoring information from the VDC, Datastore
and VM’s.

Vcloud driver features

32. • 1 Vapp = 1 MV
• 1 VDC = a Host in OpenNebula.
• Import networks, hosts, templates and datastores hosted
in vCloud using onevcloud script.

34. Conclusions
It is important to consider:
Define your org. common point of view.
Orchestrate, innovate!
Think globally, act locally.
Service oriented by design. (In & Out)
Manage well the “Messy”.
And DANCE with VM’s,...
