Task: Cloud Computing (estimated time to complete
this task 2hour)
A financial organization has 6000 employees and provides services to
more than 20 million customers. To deliver IT services to its business
units, the organization operates two data centres at two different
geographic locations. The data centres run their business applications on
more than 300 physical compute systems. The infrastructure components
(compute systems, network devices, and storage devices) are
heterogeneous in nature. Some of the applications are proprietary
(developed in-house by the organization) and some of them are off-the-
shelf.
Over the past 10 years, the organization has made several strategic
investments to build its market share. However, the organization is now
facing a challenge to cope with the fast changing demands of the
customers about services provided by the organization. These demands
are forcing the organization to develop and deploy several new
applications and make the services available to the customers rapidly.
With the current infrastructure, rapid deployment of application is very
difficult. The utilization of the compute systems, network, and storage is
less than 20 percent of the available capacity. Also, deploying a new
application takes a long time because it involves purchasing new compute
systems, installing software, configuring network and storage, and
configuring security.
The organization wants to transform their existing data centre to cloud
infrastructure to leverage the benefits of cloud. They would like to build
the cloud infrastructure by repurposing their existing infrastructure. After
deploying new services to the consumers, the organization is expecting
cloud burst to occur from time to time. They do not want to invest money
on the infrastructure to provision resources and to meet the requirements
of the occasional increase in the peak workload.
The organization plans to develop several new applications to offer new
services to their customers. The proprietary application provides the
organization a competitive advantage and they therefore want to set up
an environment for it on their infrastructure. They also require the
environment to enable development, testing, and deployment of scalable
applications in an agile manner. They also want to set up an environment
to deploy the proprietary and off-the-shelf applications.
As the existing infrastructure is heterogeneous in nature, the organization
requires the ability to automate the provisioning and configuration tasks
based on defined policies. The organization requires the ability to
