Inventory: Ten Original Sins of cloud application Deployment

From storage to management, from security to disaster recovery, IT managers have a detailed work list, each of which is checked and then dares to deploy and run a variety of cloud applications. When the infrastructure is integrated and implemented, basic utilities need to be installed and deployed to support the operation of the cloud system. However, no matter how advanced the infrastructure is and how high the performance is, if the application does not work well, everything seems meaningless.

So how should a private cloud provider ensure that the cloud application services delivered are optimal? Automated application Delivery delivers complete infrastructure visualization and provides cloud service providers with research and deployment services based on future strategies. Below, we introduced the cloud application deployment of the top ten original sin, and also provide the appropriate way to deal with.

Original Sin One: build infrastructure cloud rather than application cloud

Application is the key factor driving the development of cloud computing. People focus more on the infrastructure, which is really important for the software development environment, but the business development is based on the application level. Application delivery (not infrastructure) has become a new development bottleneck. Make sure that computing power, storage, network, and application resources want to match.

Original Sin II: Automation as a means of ex post facto control

For those who are scripted, pre-configured is enough to handle everything. However, in the cloud computing environment, even in the virtual environment, there needs to be a degree. If there is no automation at first, it will seriously affect the efficiency of cloud application implementation. The business needs a lot of applications to support, and the server doesn't need it.

Original Sin Three: main data image neglect management

In a cloud environment, daily software and data images are updated and deployed frequently. The large size of the golden image (the main image), the frequency of change is not so high, and it is difficult to use simple steps to deal with it. Not only that, a self service environment requires visibility for security and management needs. Provides visualization with a "traceable" version to achieve one-click Deployment and Change settings.
