OpenStack Summit May 2015 Vancouver

Hybrid cloud represents the next evolution in enterprise cloud architecture and enables businesses to enjoy the best of both worlds: infrastructure resource elasticity with the flexibility of a public cloud, and the security, control and regulatory compliance of a private cloud.

As ideal as hybrid cloud may sound, it still can face challenges from both sides.  There are still significant complexities to federate disparate domains in the wide area networks together to securely and reliably connect and scale public and private clouds in an integrated way. Operational challenges of managing heterogeneous environments with different architecture requires a new approach, as well as a clean approach to agile software delivery and continuous integration. Finally, there is a need to create these environments in a secure, scalable, and multi-tenant manner. 

 

This session will dive into real life customer use-cases which have been deployed.  We will walk you through how the aforementioned challenges were resolved, as well as talk about the best practices to deliver a simple and scalable method of deploying and operating hybrid clouds by interconnecting OpenStack-based private cloud with public cloud environments.
