Building on a Cloud

How do we build software architectures on a Cloud ?

Like Playing LEGO !

Different bricks have...

Different capabilities

Different QoS

Different cost-efficiency levels

Different elastic-capabilities- different abilities to reduce the consumption when resources

not needed anymore (instant elasticity vs slow elasticity)

The Bricks you choose have an impact on the cost efficiency !

Defining cost-efficiency

Definition

CostEff =

valueProduced / costIncurred

Le projet pas à pas… les solutions apportées

Define Value ?

- != Performance

- Many approaches Gain ($) generated by unit of time

Technical approach (near to performances)

✔ Number of transaction / seconds What about the confort of usage

✔ AWS investments for performance with confort finality

Cost is way more simple...

Let's detail the elements

Cost-Efficiency comes with a Cost

The ideal is a system that goes live ONCE the user needs it

- Easily compatible with Cloud and Software Defined Infrastructure

- What about latency ? Even if Docker might help…

A system that always maximized the available resources is bare metal…

- What about evolution ?

Cost-efficiency for all !

Empower Public Cloud users

The natural quest…

Public Cloud to avoid paying big numbers !

- Teevity is there for you !!!

Empower Private Cloud users

The natural quest

…to whoever runs the cloud avoid internal saturation !

Quotas are NOT the solution !

Chargeback

- For real transactions

- Likewise Public Cloud

Showback

- As education purposes

What about Free Software / Open Source ?

Cost definition / Reporting

… and the OpenStack blankness …

… CloudKitty for helping …

An effort needs to be done

- Speed of boot

- Session handling

- Autoscale smoothly Keep in mind sessions…

As a side note : put the autoscalling mecanisme OUTSIDE the application

Check/Reduce Resources Consumption

Don't waste your money on CPU Cycle !

Use whenever you can some heavily

threaded applications

Even energy-friendly !

Merci !
