1. Log OnIf you don’t have a login, you may request one by opening a support ticket – see support section

2. Run Standard Demo or Your Own Ad-HocPreferred use of CloudShell Live is to give Standard Demos. Ad-Hoc demos should be given on an as-needed basis.

3. Be Nice (See “Learning to Share”)

Using CloudShell Live

QualiSystems Proprietary & Confidential

1) Check the reservations

2) Verify no one has reserved the demo environment you need. A. Attempt to resolve with the user.B. Escalate with technical supervisor

3) Create an empty “reservation window”A. Create a New, Empty Reservation, for

the duration you needB. Then Rename it with environment you

need + your nameC. Then Reserve the real environment

during the time when you need it.

Sharing and Reservation Process

Example of “Hans” reserving DMVPN-Single:

This enables you to show setup automation and start/stop your environment reservation during this “window” of time.

“Reservation Window” Example

No environment linked

Name of environment needed + Your name

Scheduled for future

“Window” of time environment is needed

QualiSystems Proprietary & Confidential

Note that, if you only need to show a quick reservation, you may use the normal process of reserving the environment directly.

In this case, please limit reservations to 1 HR or less!

Normal Reservations

QualiSystems Proprietary & Confidential

Always Do a Dry Run!- Especially for high profile demos- Practice your script- Verify demo completes end-to-end

with no errors- Practice any custom flows you

want to add

Don’t modify existing environments

- Create a private copy

End Demo ASAP

Other Best Practices

Slide Header…

QualiSystems Proprietary & Confidential

1) Open Support Ticket

2) Specify “Product” as “CloudShell Live”

3) Specify severity• Showstopper – near to or in customer meeting

4) Support will attempt to resolve or pass on to CSLive Team or IT

In emergency• Contact CloudShell Live Admin (Hans)• Skype: hashlock

OverviewThe converged infrastructure demo (named "Data Center") use case is to allow a full stack, bare-iron, including network, storage, compute and virtualization provisioning.In addition to allow a full stack provisioning the additional use case it to allow building different layers of a stack, either just the network or compute or any other layer in the stack.

Purpose- Demonstrate that Quali's CloudShell can orchestrate a full stack

from bare-iron to an up and running software ready level.- Reduces time to unattended hours, eliminates errors,

dynamic/customizable, certified, deploy services

Target Customers- Converged infrastructure vendors (Dell, NetApp, Cisco, etc.)- Any distributer that sell one of the converged / reference architecture

solutions.- Any distributer that sell various devices such as switches, storage

arrays, etc. that would like to formalize and automate his assembly line.

OverviewThe IaaS demo is a suite of demonstrations showing how CloudShell can be used as a self-service portal for serving up VMs and Applications.  This demonstration should show that we can support spinning up individual VM instances, environments with multiple instances, as well as customized and user built VM environments in public or private clouds like AWS, Openstack, vSphere.

An important concept this demo will also emphasize is how effective our “reserve, use, collaborate, reclaim” provisioning model is at managing and limiting VM creep.

Purpose- Show provisioning of virtual instances

- Show provisioning of multi-vm environments

- Show self-service customization of VM configurations

- Show tracking / reporting of VM usage

Target Customers- Enterprise customers managing VM resources

- IT Administrators

- DevOps teams
