- 6. Mapping AWS to vCloud: The Basics AMIs VMDK or OVA file Instances VMs EBS VM boot disk / Elastic Block Store Independent disk (new in vCD 5.1) S3 Simple Storage Service vBlob 6
- 7. vBlob Overview Developer External API – subset of S3 API application s talk to vBlob host:port Adapter – Node.js application via S3 API Backing Storage Options Pluggable Storage Driver layer could support other backend storage File System Amazon S3 options Local disk, NFS, etc. Can be configured with Default storage mechanism vBlob property file expected for most vBlob users 7
- 8. Mapping AWS to vCloud: Locations and Credentials AWS Region VDC Virtual Data Center Availability Zone VDC Virtual Data Center Key pairs Stored in vBlob 8
- 9. Mapping AWS to vCloud: Networking IP address pool and Elastic IP addresses Static NAT ELB Load balancer Elastic Load Balancer (Part of Edge Gateway in 5.1) VPC IPSec VPN Service (Virtual Private Cloud) (Part of Edge Gateway) VDC NAT routed networks Security Groups with Firewall service 9
- 10. Storage Differences EBS-backed EC2 instances • All vCloud VMs are backed by persistent storage EC2 instances with ephemeral storage • No ephemeral storage in vCloud • Just use VMs with persistent storage Detachable storage • New in VMware vCloud® Director® 5.1 10
- 11. Fixed Instance Sizes Not Required In vCloud AWS • Fixed size images • When “create instance” fails, you’ve reached quota vCloud • Any size within the limits of quota and the cloud itself • You can see and check your quota 11
- 12. vCloud Is No Fun: Medieval Things You Don’t Need To Do I/O Infanticide Raise An Army Start a bunch of instances and find Run more instances than you out which ones have good I/O need because some of them will performance; kill the rest randomly hang / die Kick Out The Neighbors Magic EBS Tricks Only provision instances that RAID 10 to improve performance; fill the entire physical server allocate 10% more than you need; or don’t use at all 12

- 16. Options To Get Your VM Onto A vCloud Using the Amazon VM export API • Only works for Windows AMIs • Only works for VMs previously imported into AWS from a VMDK Manual export • Linux: Copy file system, use quemu to convert to VMDK • http://smashingboxes.com/convert-ec2-ami-to-vmdk-for-use-with-vagrant/ • Windows: Run vCenter Converter on EC2 (see VMware KB 1018015) Rebuild the VM on vCloud • Start with Linux or Windows template • Re-build your app on vCloud with Chef, Puppet, App Director etc. 16
- 17. Project Status And Roadmap 2009-10-31 EC2 API target • 20 out of 50 commands mapped Roadmap – next 3 months • Complete other 30 commands • VPC – EC2 virtual private cloud • ELB – Elastic Load Balancer Longer term • Multi-tenant Cinderella • Improve S3 API vBlob coverage • Tagging • Placement groups Items currently not in plan • Cloud Formation 17
