This document provides an overview and summary of a cloud computing conference presentation about automating enterprise software deployments. It discusses: 1) The benefits of automation for deploying middleware like WebLogic and databases like Oracle on public clouds, including flexibility and reuse. 2) How deployment automation tools like RightScale can be used to provision virtual machines, allocate storage, install software, and configure topologies in public clouds. 3) An example of using these tools to automate the deployment of an Amdocs software application on a cloud.

3. The Issues: Security & Compliance Software Complexity SLA’s Enterprise middleware isn’t cloud-friendly The Opportunity: Automation – Today’s topic Software repository Service-Oriented IT IT Consolidation Hybrid Clouds The Enterprise Journey to the Cloud

4. Common path to reach the Cloud Cloud Computing Dynamic/Elastic/Pay per Use Resource Pooling Shared workloads Automation Rapid Provisioning Virtualization Increase utilization Standardization Improve efficiency Consolidation Physical infrastructure Traditional IT Siloed/over capacity/server sprawl

5. Integrate with existing installer(s) Not really designed for silent install. Application installation requires many manual configuration actions. Struggles with dynamic environments. Automate middleware (e.g. WebLogic) Installation is straight-forward. Configuration is difficult (we use in-house tools). Elasticity is difficult from operational point of view. Automate databases (e.g. Oracle 11g) Silent install of Oracle tricky (we use snapshots). Schema definition and baseline content. Dynamic vs Static Template Dynamic RightScale ServerTemplates™ give significant flexibility and reuse. Strong feature of Rightscale. Static Templates bundle all components together which makes maintenance difficult. Avoid this at all cost. Enterprise Software Automation

6. Geographical Coverage – Public clouds offer coverage that is hard to match Public clouds enable rapid time to market in new markets Disaster Recovery – DR can be implemented on public clouds very cheaply Ramp up DR deployment when it’s needed, otherwise just keep data backups/replicas. Capacity Extension – Application architecture needs to support partitioning at cluster unit Burst out separate clusters Cloud Bursting Use Cases

12. Topology – created once can be reused in several deployments – one click duplication Middleware (usually takes expert teams to install and configure) – installed once – can be used as a template or as automated dynamic offering Infra (usually takes days of installations and configurations) – onetime definition within Deployment Management for future reuse Cloud Deployment - Benefits
