What Is a Cloud? Is also known as cloud computing 11: Managing Clouds in System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager What Is a Cloud? Is also known as cloud computing Enables sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale Uses the Internet, Internet standards, and protocols Can provide various resources such as virtual machines, storage, apps, services including databases, programs, and systems

What Are Public, Private, and Hybrid Clouds? 11: Managing Clouds in System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager Public On-demand computing delivered through the Internet with Internet standards and protocols Makes resources available to users anywhere Users do not need their own infrastructure Users run apps, services, or virtual machines remotely, running on the cloud vendor’s infrastructure Private Organizations use their own infrastructure but integrate with certain resources of the cloud vendor Hybrid Makes resources available to only its users Users run apps, services, or virtual machines remotely, running on the organization’s infrastructure

Virtualization and the Cloud 11: Managing Clouds in System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager Private cloud is more than just virtualization Critical components of virtualization: Server consolidation Easy deployment Elasticity and scalability Multiple tenets High availability and mobility Private cloud requires more: Automated management Pools of compute resources Self-service provisioning Usage-based chargeback

Lesson 2: Creating and Managing a Cloud 11: Managing Clouds in System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager Managing a Cloud

Configuring Cloud Resources 20409A 11: Managing Clouds in System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager Configuring Cloud Resources Hardware Storage: SAN, Fibre, disk, libraries, .iso files Networking, Logical LANs, load balancers, vIP Memory CPUs Software Databases, apps, large applications Physical hosts Virtual machines

Configuring Cloud Capacity 11: Managing Clouds in System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager Uses quotas Specifies maximum usage allowed by default Can be throttled back by a lesser amount Applies to: Virtual CPUs Memory Storage Custom quota points Virtual machines Can add more capacity

Configuring Cloud Capability 11: Managing Clouds in System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager Configuring Cloud Capability Capability built on capacity profiles Provides built-in fabric capability Assignment based on the hypervisor platform Can use one, any, or all three Can also make custom capacity profiles VMware ESX Server Microsoft Hyper-V XenServer, Citrix Xen Hosts

Managing a Cloud Chargeback and governance of resource usage 11: Managing Clouds in System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager Chargeback and governance of resource usage Private cloud application performance monitoring GSM ensures applications are always up and always on SLA-based

Lesson 3: Working With User Roles in VMM 20409A Lesson 3: Working With User Roles in VMM 11: Managing Clouds in System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager Connecting to Virtual Machine Manager by Using Different User Roles

What Are User Roles in Virtual Machine Manager? 11: Managing Clouds in System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager What Are User Roles in Virtual Machine Manager? User roles contain: Profiles Members Scope Network Cloud quotas Resources Permissions Run-As accounts Depending on profile selected

Objects and Actions that Can Be Delegated 11: Managing Clouds in System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager The resources (objects) available in a private cloud are: Virtual CPUs Memory Storage Custom Quota (Points) Virtual Machines Data paths The actions you can allow for these resources are: Author Checkpoint (snapshots) Checkpoint (Restore Only) Deploy Deploy (From Template only) Local Administrator Pause and Resume Receive Remote Connection Remove Save Share Shut down Start Stop Store

User Role Profiles Preexisting Administrator role 11: Managing Clouds in System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager Preexisting Administrator role Fabric administrator: Formerly, Delegated Administrator May still show up in technical references Read-only administrator Tenant administrator: New user role in VMM 2012 SP1 Application administrator: Formerly known as Self-Service User
