The need to build on top of a IaaS platform

▶ DESIGNING FOR FAILURE

▶ IaaS / PaaS provide a common base – up to Customer to build on-
top
▶ Data Management is a key aspect of what’s missing from Native
Cloud Tools
▶ Expect components to fail, design for it – don’t wait for it to happen

▶ Snapshots as an example:

– Any Tier 1 provider snapshot is a storage-level snapshot only
– Up to Customer to figure out how to re-assemble manually,
manage snapshot rotation, tiering from Snap to Hot/Cool storage,
Copy Management, Granular file level restoration, application
consistency, restore out-of-place… etc etc.
