RightScale Webinar: February 10, 2009 – Cloud deployments are dynamic by design. Servers are launched and terminated, IP addresses can be dynamically re-assigned, and entire deployments are migrated onto the cloud, decommissioned, and then re-started at a later date. Traditional, static approaches to managing IT data simply aren't built for the cloud. Splunk provides an alternative that is dynamic and easily deployed using the RightScale Platform.

- #6: Key benefits of the cloud: Infinite computing resources Available on-demand Pay per use Access via the Internet In many ways surpassing traditional hosting: Multiple server sizes: ½ core to 8 cores Reassign IPs / VIPs Multiple failure zones Disk Volumes Cloud interoperability Multiple geographies RightScale automation tying it all together
- #7: Design once a year, we talked about architecture in our last webinar… on the web Deploy more often, we’ve shown how quickly you can deploy those architectures on the cloud using RightScale. Earlier in the fall we showed how to deploy with MySQL and today you will see it again. Focus of today is on the daily tasks of managing those deployments.
- #8: HP/other needs – business flexibility, speed with which can deploy apps, speed and ease of deployment Barriers – lock into one cloud, development environment, platform vendor We provide speed and ease of deployment without the lockin

- #10: All this increased complexity and cost means we need to start looking at things differently Individual component monitoring and the silos of data it creates don’t work in today’s infrastructures with massive inter component dependencies The key to understanding complex IT infrastructures lies in all the data our systems generate We need a way to turn all the logs, messages and configurations from applications, servers and network devices into integrated information for operations, security and compliance.
