Lab Topic

This lab is presented as two 30 minute lightning lab modules. The first part of this Lab is a vCloud Director Lab from a
infrastructure as a service provider point of view and is intended for people who want to get hands-on experience in configuring a infrastructure environment to be used by consumers. This means: configuration and provisioning of the necessary resources and setting up an Organization within vCloud Director that will consume these resources.

The second part of this Lab is a vCloud Director Lab from a

consumer point of view (mostly) and is intended for people who want to get hands-on experience on how to consume resources from a provided infrastructure and use some of the new features of vCloud Director 5.1 such as: Snapshots and using the capabilities of VXLAN.

The Lab: Module 1 - Overview

Setting: For this Module you are the cloud Infrastructure as a service
administrator from Rainpole Systems who needs to provide IAAS on demand. Your requests are typically random in nature in regards to needs.

This Module will help you set-up a IAAS environment, using vCloud
Director 5.1, that can help you meet these variant demands within minutes.

You need to setup a virtual Infrastructure for a new software

development project that is being initiated by a Rainpole Systems customer.

For this environment the customer needs resources for the initial
build of the software application. This doesn't involve production yet so you can start-out with an environment that can be provided in a single virtual datacenter/cloud.

vCD Organization Setup

Introduction Creating the Rainpole Systems Organization Allocate Resources to the Rainpole Systems vCD Organization Creating a Catalog for the Rainpole Systems vCD Organization Creating a new Organization for the Software Development Project Allocate Resources for the new Organization Creating a Catalog for the new Organization Adding a Template to the Shared Rainpole Systems Catalog

11

The Lab: Module 2 - Overview

Setting: For this Module you will act as several users who use this
environment.

This Module will help you set-up the requested Software

Development Organization with a template and a deployed vApp.

Then you will act as a regular organizational user and start using
the vApp and start using the new snapshot technology.

Then you act as the overall administrator of the cloud environment

again to add resources to the environment for showing VXLAN capabilities later on in the Module.

Finally you will act as the Software Development Organizational

administrator again to add 2 vApps to the SWDev Organization. One on the 7th floor and one on the 13th floor. You will see that even though the ESX hosts in each cluster are on different layer-3 networks you are still able to create a separate vApp in each cluster where the vApps share a single layer-2/3 network (due to VXLAN capabilities).

The Lab: Module 2 - Topics

vCD IAAS Consumer Lab

Introduction

vCD IAAS Environment Setup

Setting up the Software Developments Private Catalog Adding a vApp to your Software Development Cloud and share it with an
organization User

vCD IAAS Consumption

Start the vApp as a regular User Create a snapshot of your vApp before you start using it

13

The Lab: Module 2 Topics (Cont)

vCD IAAS Using the Power of VXLAN

Adding an Edge Gateway and an Organizational Network to the SWDev
Organization

Adding two vApps to the SWDev Organization, one in each cluster Check that both vApps are running in the correct cluster Communicate between the VM's in both vApps Short overview of VXLAN

The Lab Experience: Journey, not destination

Who:Jairo Ammirati, Bob van der Werf and our group lead: Bill Call. Labs focused on addressing scenario problems rather than step by
step install tutorials.

Combination of demonstrating vCloud Director 5.1 basic setup and

usage combined with some of the new features. Get experience in building a Infrastructure As A Service environment, Get experience in using the offered Infrastructure as a consumer, Experience a new feature called: Provider vDC merge, Experience a new feature called: Snapshots in a Cloud environment, Experience new VXLAN possibilities.

Constructing the Labs

Common core Lab based on internal field enablement lab, rebuilt

for VMworld 2012 using the latest available code base.

Core lab built over weeks where different engineering teamswere

involved to create the end result

Complications of developing this Cloud Lab with limited resources,

drove an unusual design, not to be consider best practice.

A further couple of weeks of configuration, scenario refinement,

bug fixing and testing.

Creation of the VXLAN preparation video and Lab Module Manuals

in parallel with building the Lab itself.

Giving a live demonstration of the complete Lab (both Modules) to

all other Lab Captains and Proctors in this team.

Creation of this presentation.

Snapshot/Revert support

18

Feature Introduction
Support for Snapshot/Revert in vCloud Director 5.1

UI and REST API support. On VM and vApp objects, the following commands will be
available: Take-snapshot Revert-to-snapshot Delete-snapshot.

Snapshots can be taken on both powered-on and powered-off VMs. Reverting a VM will go back to previous VM state
NIC settings and OVF properties are not captured

Why VXLAN?

Drivers
Need cross cluster mobility Enable provisioning workload where
compute is available. Avoid operational heaviness of VLANs

Enable network snapshot on same

Layer 2 (dev/test)

Provision large number of tenants

(>4K limits of VLANs, avoid STP)

Enable stateful movement of

workloads (vMotion Anywhere) and failover scenarios with SRM

Untether the workload from the physical network
