•  Traditional Computing •  Era of physical resources. •  Not so scalable.

•  Cloud Computing. •  Revolution. •  Virtual and Abstract.

•  Large Scale Cloud •  Cloud Providers and Consumers

•  Public Cloud, Everything-aaS, Pay as you go •  Private Cloud •  Cloud bursting, VPC

•  Cloud Resellers (Brokers)**

•  Intercloud •  Multi-cloud/Provider/Partner based collaboration.

Introduction

Intercloud Federation

4


•  A globally connected network of clouds. •  Distributed loosely integrated clouds.

•  Heterogeneous •  Operated and managed by separate business entities. •  Platforms. •  Resources

•  Supports Federation •  Consumers can own/allocate resources across clouds. •  Workload Modeling and migrating.

Intercloud

5


•  IEEE Intercloud Project •  One cloud must be able to find one or more other clouds. •  Cloud instances must be able to dialog with each other. •  Willing and Able to accept an interoperability transactions.

Provider 2

•  Support multi-provider collaboration. •  Resource utilization across clouds. •  Promotes interoperability. •  Transparent to consumers.

•  Providers, regions, services.

Heterogeneous

•  Providers •  Partners Vs Non Partners •  Public, Private, Hybrid, VPC •  Distributed across geography

•  Platforms •  Proprietary •  OpenStack, VMWare •  CF, OpenShift

•  Resources •  Dynamic •  Flavors


Motivations

Motivations

11

Consumers Providers

Provider resilience. Global consumer reach.

Scope to scale. Effective investment.

More service coverage/offerings.

More regions for local consumers.

Workload migration and DR. Better ROI


Problems, Concerns and Challenges

Providers

Federate Capabilities

OSS and BSS Return on Federation

Collaboration •  Trust and policy

•  Resource Provisioning •  Quota Management

Metering of resource

Policy based capability exposure. •  Regions and Sub-regions •  Service, Endpoints, APIs,

Flavors •  Idle resources

Incidence and Support Intercloud Monitoring •  Notification •  Endpoint status •  Capabilities update •  Consume monitoring events

Billing and Collection

Pricing and Discount.

Identity Federation •  Anonymization


Consumers

14

Who is offering, what and where

User Experience Identity and Security

Providers, Regions, Services, Flavors, Endpoints, pricing*

•  Non uniform interfaces •  No Single pane of glass •  Non uniform Quota.

Identity federation.

Capabilities inspection

Why do I care about platform specific (APIs, Schemas, Entities).

Data security


Different Intercloud Federation Models

Hub and Spoke Federation

Provider 1

Provider N

Provider 2 Fed.

Agent/Hub

Consumers


•  Abstracts underlying providers.

•  Proxy approach •  Platform agnostic model. •  Interoperability.

•  Mostly static - providers, services and resources configuration.

•  Search, selects providers and services. •  Ability to provision resource across providers. •  Provide workload migration.

•  Hub generally not reusable across providers.

•  No OSS and BSS across providers.

•  Identity federation

Federation Agent/Hub

Federation Gateway/Router

Consumers


•  Manages generic concerns for all providers •  Globally distributed service

•  Reusable across providers and Marketplaces. •  Trust and policy based federation. •  Uniform discovery - providers, services, resources and pricing. •  Parameter based capability inspection.

•  Abstraction from platform native API. •  Monitoring, Alerts and Notifications

Intercloud Federation Service

19


•  Pluggable integration for clouds. •  Platform, API and schemes abstraction •  Interoperability and Platform agnostic.

•  Resource provisioning across trusted providers. •  Provide workload migration.

•  Single pane of glass.

•  Identity federation

•  OSS and BSS support across providers. •  Metering and billing notifications •  Global Quota enforcement •  Support, Incidence
