Symposium – Nov 07/08, 2012



COLLABORATE 13 – The IOUG Forum

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 as, it relates to Oracle professionals from the perspective of Oracle on Oracle VM. A brief intro. of Oracle VM Virtualbox will be also be presented.

Session Abstract

A Virtual Machine Monitor/Hypervisor enables OS Kernels to run and co-exist as guests

Hypervisors are installed and are responsible for allocation & coordination of CPU, Memory, I/O, Peripheral resources etc. to the guest virtual machines

What is Virtualization?

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/In-use:

Private Cloud (aka Enterprise Cloud): Characterized by clouds on private networks (May someday replace the traditional Data-Center 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


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


Cloud Computing is in flux, not completely mature and 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 catching on and, the prospects are very promising


Figure/Diagram from Gartner


Oracle’s definition of Cloud Computing:

Identical to Amazon EC2: It must be Virtualized and it must be Elastic

Clustering

Virtualization

Dynamic Provisioning

SOA/Shared Services

Management /Automation


Oracle has 2 types of VM product offerings:

Type 1 Hypervisor: installed on bare metal hardware

Oracle VM Server for x86

Oracle VM Server for SPARC

Type 2 Hypervisor – Oracle VM VirtualBox

Installed on an existing host OS

Allows multiple OS to run on a single machine (X86)

Controls its own IO, Network, etc

Following Data from Chapter 1 of the Oracle Virtual Box Manual

Oracle VM – Categories/Types

XEN – Synopsis & Overview

XEN is the leading open-source industry standard hypervisor; 4.x is the latest version

Ian Pratt founded XenSource; Later acquired by Citrix in 2007

Originated at the University of Cambridge

The XEN Hypervisor is the virtualization base of Amazon EC2; The market leader in the Cloud Computing “IaaS” Service Model

Oracle is a member of the XEN Advisory

Board

Other members of the XEN Advisory Board include Citrix, HP, IBM, Intel, Novell, Oracle & Red Hat

What is Oracle VM? – Synopsis & Overview

Server Virtualization and Management Solution from Oracle

Oracle VM Manager & Oracle Enterprise Manager Manage hundreds- or thousands of servers

Central Java management server Web browser-based management console

Advanced virtualization management including Dynamic Resource Scheduling (DRS), HA, Dynamic Power Management…

Oracle VM Server for x86 Based on XEN 4.x, Oracle VM 3.1.1 is the latest version and is a state-

of-the-art Enterprise-grade Feature-packed

Oracle VM 3.2 is in Beta right now

Installs on “bare-metal” servers in about a minute

Guest operating systems: Solaris, Linux, & Windows

Support for paravirtualized- and hardware-virtualized kernels & drivers

Supports both Oracle and non-Oracle applications

Oracle VM – Features/Benefits/Advantages

Elasticity, Scalability and Performance

Agility and Fast Deployment with Oracle VM Templates and Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder

Web-based GUI Management

High-Availability & Live Migration with Oracle VM Server Pools

Simple & Easy Installation: Low Learning Curve

Server Load-Balancing

Centralized Network and Storage Management

P2V & V2V Conversion Support for Windows, Linux & Solaris as guest OS

Affordable world-class support

Oracle VM – Features/Benefits/Advantages

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


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 Oracle VM Ecosystem – An overview


Oracle VM Templates – Overview & Architecture

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

Factory-packaged, Pre-installed and pre-configured 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

Templates are pre-configured virtual machines (VMs) containing software products that are ready-to-go

Methods of Creating Oracle VM Templates:

Physical-to-Virtual (P2V) Conversion Create VM Templates from existing Virtual

Machine Images Create VM Templates from JeOS
