Why Public Cloud?

Migration Path

Service and API Architectures

Storage Architecture

Operations and Tools

Example Applications

Software for the Cloud and Big Data

• Cloud – API based, automated, commodity

– Elastic capacity, shrinks as well as grows

– Self service immediate deployment

• Big Data – More than can be processed on one machine

– Unstructured flexible schemas

– Fast answers to new questions

Cloud Native

What is it?

Why?

Strive for perfection

Perfect code

Perfect hardware

Perfectly operated

But perfection takes too long…

Compromises…

Time to market vs. Quality

Utopia remains out of reach

Where time to market wins big

Making a land-grab

Disrupting competitors (OODA)

Anything delivered as web services

Observe

Orient

Decide

Act

Land grab opportunity Competitive

move

Customer Pain Point

Analysis

Get buy-in

Plan response

Commit resources

Implement

Deliver

Engage customers

Model alternatives

Measure customers

Colonel Boyd, USAF

“Get inside your adversaries'

OODA loop to disorient them”

How Soon?

Product features in days instead of months

Deployment in minutes instead of weeks

Incident response in seconds instead of hours

A new engineering challenge

Construct a highly agile and highly available service from ephemeral and

assumed broken components

Inspiration

"Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration."

Thomas A. Edison
