Day Two Cloud 040: Building And Operating A Private Cloud - a podcast by The Packet Pushers Team

Today’s Day Two Cloud delves into how and why to build a private cloud that functions as well as a public cloud. We examine the design and operational challenges of assembling and operating cloud infrastructure on premises.

Our guest is Bryan Sullins, Senior Systems Engineer for a large retailer.

We discuss:



* NIST’s definition of private clouds

* Automating all the things (hardware, software, OSs, etc.)

* Key platforms including Ansible, Morpheus, and Kubernetes

* The role of self-service

* How building a private cloud affected the infrastructure team

* Planning, design, and implementation

* More



Takeaways:



* Have a test lab.

* Have a defined process and document it.

* Many tools used in this deployment are open source. You can start tomorrow.
