3. KPN VIPERNEXT • 1 Product Owner • 1 SCRUM master • 4 DEV + 1 Lead DEV • 3 OPS (System + Network) • 1 Test • 1 Architect • 1 Communicatie / Proces The Team: who and how?
5. Realize a flexible KPN Private Cloud: • Loosely coupled building blocks • Scalable • No vendor lock-in • Automated • Adhering to KPN security standards (KSP) VIPERNEXT? Requirements
6. Benefits: • Efficiency: • Reduced manual labour • Faster time-to-market • Effectiveness due to increased virtualization and utilization • Quality: • Standardization of infrastructure • Shift to new technologies • Cost reduction with Private Cloud VIPERNEXT? Expected benefits

11. ManageIQ Abstractions / Terminology Region Zone Appliance/Server Role Worker Workers are applications that execute as processes on the server. Roles are an abstract concept for grouping functionality. CFME presents functions to the administrator as roles. For example: Data Collection, Database Operations, Reporting, Notifier, Scheduler. Appliance or CFME is delivered as a pre-packaged bootable OVF appliance. The appliance runs in a virtual machine as a server. Zones provide specific functionality. For example: UI, DB, Reporting, Test environment, or Production interface to backend providers A region is an abstract concept that can be thought of as a geographical region but a single geographical region can have multiple CFME regions. The region represents the part of the layout with a single database.

14. Architecture Decisions • Euwe: UI Classic instead of Service UI – Missing functionality in Service UI – VM oriented instead of Service oriented • Everything Virtual including the database • Dedicated separated database • HA: – Appliance clustering – Asynchronous replication of the database • Tenant dedicated resource pool and folder within vCenter • AD instead of IPA
15. Architecture wishlist • Improved UX, navigation and information overload • Service UI like commercial counterparts • Improved classic UI • HA: Clustered database • API and UI functional on par • Overall performance
16. ManageIQ features added • Reconfigure Virtual Machine: – Resize Disk – Networking • Mount ISO
17. Reconfigure VM: Resize Disk
18. Reconfigure VM: Networking
19. Mount ISO
20. Movie Reconfigure VM & Mount ISO
21. Open Source: contributions (fixed issues)
22. Open Source: contributions pending • Networking • Resize Disk • Mount ISO
