Workload Placement Decisions

Use a combination of policy & technical considerations

Which workloads should go on Public vs. remain in Private?

Decide based on whats best for the workload Evaluate continually to make best use of Private and Public
Decision Process
Private Policy Decision Public

Public or Public Private Technical Decision Public

12

Workload Placement Decisions

Decision involves policy & technical considerations

Policy considerations: Your

organizations policies dictate which VMs can go on Public vs. stay on Private

Technical considerations: You

decide which VMs go where to get the best cost for required performance

Have clearly defined policies e.g.

Workload contains sensitive data
cannot be in Public

Consider workloads resource

requirements (CPU, Memory, Disk I/O, Network) Constant Demand Variable Demand Latency Sensitive

Workload is mission critical running

perfectly in Private, why risk going to Public

13

Workload Placement Decisions

Constant demand workloads can go private or public

Constant Demand Workloads Have more or less constant demand (CPU, Memory, Disk I/O, Network) Require known and fixed resource levels Public or Private? Can go either place put it where it is cheapest
Demand

Time

14

Workload Placement Decisions

Variable demand workloads may be more suitable for public

Variable Demand Workloads Have highly variable demand predictable or unpredictable Require flexible resource levels ramp up when needed Public or Private? Public can be cost effective choice
Why tie up your Private resources, when you can use Public and pay per use

Time

Demand

15

Workload Placement Decisions

Latency sensitive workloads are better kept in private

Latency Sensitive Workloads Need fast network access between tiers

Legacy Multi-Tier or Clustered Apps

Public or Private? Private may be most practical choice to meet performance requirements
Fast network paths and network locality between tiers is easier in Private

How does vCenter Operations help you?

Identifying Variable Demand VMs with Powered-Off VMs feature
Goal: Find VMs that are powered on infrequently Feature: Powered-Off VMs Settings:
% Time Powered-Off threshold: Smaller the %, more
infrequent VM is used
on on

How does vCenter Operations help you?

Identify Constant Demand VMs with Idle VMs feature
Demand

Goal: Find VMs within a given usage band (e.g. CPU 100-200
MHz, Disk I/O 50-100 KBps, etc.)

Upper bound

Lower bound

Time

Feature: Idle VMs follow steps Step 1: Identify VMs w/ usage above lower bound Step 2: Identify VMs w/ usage below upper bound Step 3: VMs identified in steps 1 and 2 are the VMs you are
looking for

Settings:
% Idle threshold: Step 1 close to 0%, Step 2 close to 100% Usage (CPU, Disk I/O, ): per band you are looking for

18

How does vCenter Operations help you?

Identify Latency Sensitive VMs w/ network dependencies and usage
App Tier
App Tier

Goal: Find groups of network dependent VMs Feature: App Dependencies, VM Network Usage (vC OPs) VMware Infrastructure Navigator (VIN) gives you VM level app
dependencies

vC OPs shows network usage per VM

Ongoing Operations Management - Challenges

Lack of visibility into Usage, Cost, Health & Configuration

What is my usage and cost across Public clouds? What is the growth trend across Public clouds? What are minimum capacity levels to purchase and maintain? What is the health of all my VMs across public and Private clouds? Are the VMs and OSes configured to policy?
