Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
• Basic Layer – (Parallels to “Hardware”)
• Compute
• Memory
• Storage
• Network Resources
• Charged by (Virtual) Machine Capacity
• IaaS APIs:
• Create Server, Delete Server
• Add Memory, remove memory
• Create Environment
• Examples:
• Virtualization Providers:
– Softlayer
– Amazon EC2
– VMWare
– Azure
– PureSystems
• Many organizations already have experience with these technologies
• Flexibility – Automate creation of a machine that can run any application

• Automation Tools:
– Chef
– Puppet
– uDeploy
– PowerShell DSC

Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• Application Centric View – (Parallels to 'Operating System')
• Applications
– J2EE
– Spring
– Rails
– Play
• Changed by licensed capacity or usage
• PaaS APIs:
• Deploy Application, Destroy Application
• Scale Application
• List Databases, Bind Application To Database
• Examples:
• CloudFoundry
• IBM BlueMix
• Heroku
• Open Shift
• Developers are trying these platforms today, adoption growing

• Services
– MongoDB
– Postgre SQL
– Elastic MQ

Bluemix
• Bluemix is IBM’s Platform as a Service offering, enabling customers to run
their own Java, JavaScript and Ruby applications
• Bluemix offers many services that can be exploited from within those
applications

Software as a Service (SaaS)
• Provides access to hosted applications or services
• Trades off hosting flexibility for ease of use
• Usage based charging
• Per Hour, Day, Week, Month
• Per Transaction
• SaaS APIs:
• Dependent on what the solution offers
• Examples:
– Query Product
– Order Product
• Examples:
• SalesForce
• Google Apps
• Office 365
• Particular applications are very popular

These are Independent Concepts
They can be used together, but don't have to be

On-Premise, Off-premise and Hybrid Clouds
IaaS, PaaS and SaaS can each be on-premise, off-premise or hybrid
– Data Sensitity is the key concern
Motivations
– Adding workload: start private, add public capacity
– Reducing workload: start private, move to public
– Moving workload: start public, move to private
Economics
– Less expensive to use a public cloud
• For low utilization, rental is cheaper
• For spontaneous capacity. rental is cheaper
• Private Cloud incurs hosting costs
– Match risk to cost as business grows

IBM Integration and IaaS
• Chef
• Open Source technology focussing on managing
middleware install/config
• Installs IIB and MQ, creates queue managers and
integration nodes
• PureApplication System
• Automated provisioning of machines as well as
deployment of middleware
• IBM UrbanCode Deploy
• Orchestrates and automates the deployment of
applications, middleware configurations, and database
changes into development, test, and production
environments
12

Chef Overview
• “Chef is an automation platform that
transforms infrastructure into code”
• Chef concepts:
• Recipe: a script which automates an
install or configuration step
• Cookbook: a set of recipes plus
metadata and additional files
• Chef client: an agent running on the
target node which runs recipes and
monitors the node’s state
• Chef server: a central component that
manages the chef clients and distributes
deployment requests to appropriate
nodes
• Chef solo: a chef client which allows
chef recipes to be run by an external
manager

Chef Interactions: Managed by Chef Server

PureApplication System Patterns
Automate provisioning of standardised integration environments
• IIB Hypervisor Edition automates and standardises IIB install, which combined with
PureApp gives many benefits:
• Automated provisioning reduces errors and speeds time to value
• Standardization of software images reduces risk and simplifies scheduling of
maintenance tasks on critical systems
• Applying software maintenance is simpler and quicker using PureApp GUI or CLI
• Comprehensive history/audit is maintained; license tracking is integrated
• Run onsite on PureApp hardware or hosted on SoftLayer

IIB PureApp Configuration - Patterns
• IIB 9 or WMB 8 (Basic)
• Basic configuration parameters
• VM specific configuration parameters
– No specific MB or MQ
configuration
• IIB 9 or WMB 8 (Advanced)
• Extensive configuration parameters
– MB and MQ
– Defaults provided
Basic
Advanced

IIB PureApp Configuration – Script Packages
• Used for additional configuration
• Drag and Drop onto pattern
• Allows the appropriate properties to
be configured directly on the script
package residing on the pattern
• User can create script packages to
perform additional tasks

• Plugins provide custom process steps
• Provide consistent cross-platform behaviour
• E.g. Deploy BAR, create queue
• IIB plugin available fully supported from IBM
DeveloperWorks download site
• IIB plugin based on CMP API
• Provides process steps to deploy BAR,
configure broker, execution group etc.
• Fully compatible with IIB v9, v10
• Chef plugin also fully supported
• Uses Chef Solo
• Can be used for on-demand machine

IBM Integration Bus Cloud
31
IBM intends to deliver an IBM provided and managed IBM Integration Bus environment in the Cloud. The IBM Integration Bus
Cloud environment will be provided and administered by IBM and will help to eliminate typical inhibitors to starting IBM
Integration Bus projects, such as capital expenditures, hardware availability and the skills for managing an Integration Bus
environment. This will allow users to focus on developing solutions rather than installing, configuring and managing software.
The offering will be compatible with the on-premise product. Within the constraints of a cloud environment, content created
for the on-premise product will run in the cloud environment and vice versa.

IBM Integration Bus Cloud Beta Program
32
Client facing IBMers are invited to nominate
customers and partners to take part in an
early program for IBM Integration Bus Cloud
IBM Integration Bus Cloud extends the reach
of IBM's successful integration product to
cloud environments.
The primary objective of this beta program is
to solicit client feedback in the design and
early implementation stages of product
development. Early feedback enables
changes and adjustments to be made to the
proposed designs, reflecting the consolidated
feedback of program participants.
Participants will receive access to beta code
systems, appropriate education, and support.
In return, they will be expected to provide
feedback, e.g. through a support forum,
surveys and 1-1 calls. In addition, there will be
the opportunity to directly influence the future
direction of this offering through design review
sessions.
All customer nominations will be considered
and if successful will require acceptance of a
legal agreement (presented on a program
specific web site where the authenticated
customer must “click to agree”).
