Session Abstract

Virtualization is the foundation stone in the Cloud Computing era

The speakers will present, detail & elaborate Comprehensive Concepts Overview, Insight, Recommendations, Best Practices, Current Strategies, Pros & Cons, Relevance/Role in Cloud Computing, Prevalent/Dominant Paradigms & Technologies and, a whole lot more about Virtualization & Cloud Computing as, they relate to Oracle professionals from the perspective of Oracle on Oracle VM & OEM12c

Virtualization in Perspective: What is Cloud Computing? Synopsis & Overview

Cloud Computing means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. So what exactly is Cloud Computing?

In its most generally accepted form, Cloud Computing is Web/Network-based computing where Abstracted Resources are located and shared on the Network, whether Intranet (Private Cloud) OR Internet (Public Cloud) Cloud is sometimes used as an alternative term/metaphor for the Internet Cloud Computing is On-Demand, Metered and Self-Serviceable

Cloud Computing is an evolution of existing IT paradigms, strategies & models: In many aspects it is a re-branding, re-organization and re-presentation of various components in the overall IT ecosystem. Here are a few salient characteristics/features of an IT Cloud:

Dynamic, Elastic, Agile and Scalable Multi-tenant, Secure & Reliable Metered Service-based models

Virtualization in Perspective: What is Cloud Computing? Synopsis & Overview

Four models of deployment are currently prevalent/Inuse:

Private Cloud (aka Enterprise Cloud): Characterized by clouds on private networks (May someday replace the traditional DataCenter term) Public Cloud: Shared (Typically Virtualized) resources over the Internet Hybrid Cloud: A mix/hotch-potch/conglomerate of Private/Public Cloud models Community Cloud: Organizations forming a shared cloud for common needs/goals/purposes

Virtualization in Perspective: What is Cloud Computing? Synopsis & Overview

Five layers of Cloud Computing with three Service Models are broadly identified according to general consensus:

Server layer: Hardware/Software: CPUs, RAM etc Client layer: Desktops, OSs, browsers etc Application layer: aka Software as a Service (SaaS Service Model) provides applications (typically multi-tenant) over the Internet Platform layer: aka Platform as a Service (PaaS Service Model) provides a computing platform by implementing/providing the whole solution stack. This has been identified by Oracle as the sweet spot of Cloud Computing in the years to come Infrastructure layer: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS Service Model) provides the entire computing infrastructure/ecosystem usually through virtualization

Virtualization in Perspective: What is Cloud Computing? Synopsis & Overview

Cloud Computing is mature but still evolving

Is Cloud Computing a Paradigm Shift? The answer is YES & NO: Depends on your perception, understanding & implementation of your flavor of Cloud Computing Is Cloud Computing seeing massive adoption? It is being widely adopted, here to stay: The future prospects are very promising

Oracle VM Overview & Architecture

Installs on bare-metal x86 hardware Does not require a pre-installed OS XEN-based hypervisor boots a small domain called DOM0 which is used for assigning/distribution/co-ordination of CPU, I/O etc. resources

Guest VMs are created/configured As/In DOMus

Oracle VM Overview & Architecture

Java-based management server with a Web-based UI Utilizes Oracle Database as Management Repository: Comes pre-packaged with a FREE XE version of the Oracle databae; Can be converted to all other flavors of the Oracle Database Server family

Oracle VM Agents on each Oracle VM Server for Communication/Management

Uses Server Pools to group virtualization resources: Each Server Pool >= 1 Oracle VM Servers

Oracle VM: HA-enabled Ecosystem An overview

Figure/Diagram from Oracle Documentation

Oracle VM Templates OR Golden Images provide reusability and full-stack implementation

Factory-packaged, Pre-installed and preconfigured software images Reduces Installation/Configuration costs Major Oracle products are available as templates e.g. Oracle Database Server, Fusion Middleware, Enterprise Linux, Real Application Clusters (RAC) etc.

Oracle VM Templates Overview & Architecture

Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder Synopsis and Overview

Rapidly Create & Configure full-stack topologies and provision them onto virtualized appliances Used for creating dedicated-purpose virtual machines called software appliances Structured Process for appliance consolidation into cohesive & reusable assemblies Facilitates Deployment of entire application as a single automatically configured unit

Oracle VM 3.x A brief Intro.

Application Driven Virtualization; simplifying VM deployment Scalability:

Up-to 160 physical CPUs and 4 TB of physical memory Up to 128 virtual vCPUs and 2TB memory per guest VM

Oracle VM Manager provides centralized management

Fusion middleware Apps on WebLogic and Database Provide Brower-based GUI Interface Provide completed network and storage management Cloning, sharing, configuring and migrating VMs. Dynamic Resource Management for VMs All VM operations are submitted as jobs. All the configuration operation done on VM Manager

Infrastructure Cloud Based on Virtualization

Enterprise Manager 12c manages the infrastructure cloud

Oracle VM: Easy Integration with Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c

Oracle VM 3 management has been integrated into the base framework of Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c
