Abstract
Objective: To define template architecture for large virtualized environment automation ecosystem. Methods/Statistical Analysis: This study proposes self-sustaining, highly scalable automation architecture with multiple services components supporting each otherโs to deliver a reliable and scalable service in self-contained virtualized environment. This new proposed template architecture has been evaluated by building Proof of concept built using few readily available tools and few property application developed for this project. Finally we evaluated the architecture with varying load of storage, SAN networking and Backup and recovery workflow tasks. Stability, sustainability and self-load balancing capabilities are measure over time, by injecting dynamic work task to this framework. Findings: Large virtualized environment gives unlimited access to compute and storage resource on demand. One of the key enabler for this functionality is the robust automation framework. Due to limited technical expertise and lack any open source standard shinder migration of any existing mid-size virtualized IT assets into fully automated eco-system. This study tries to address this challenge by proposing new template open-ended architecture. This takes care of any organizational scalability, security, and compliance and maintainability issues. Application/Improvements: The proposed architecture can be used for implementing highly automated virtualized ecosystem in large virtualized environment. Keywords: Automation, Integrated Automation Framework, Orchestration, Scalable Architecture, Virtualized Environment
Highlights
Virtualization was evolutionary change that altered the landscape of how organizations visualize their IT assets
As more devices are added to automation system, scalability becomes a limitation of the system
Our primary orchestration engine is from VMware vRealize Orchestrator[8]
Summary
Virtualization was evolutionary change that altered the landscape of how organizations visualize their IT assets. There are good amount of highly automated large commercial public cloud providers like Amazon EC21, Microsoft Azure, Google cloud platform, VmWarevCloudAir, Rackspace are few such examples, which provides IaaSservice. These solutions address the commercial public cloud space, but there is a gap in terms of medium to large scale organization which cannot move to public cloud due to policy constrains and security risk, like large financial institutes, defense and defense manufactures, public health care institutes etc. The large scale virtualization orchestration involves the creation, management and manipulation of resources, i.e., of the compute, storage and network, in order to realize user requests in an environment and or to realize operational objectives of the service provider.
