PolicyGuidedFulfillment

Business Use Case

• Facilitating reusable policies across workloads:
  • Enforcing Policies on Murano Environments Following Company Policies
  • Facilitate distribution of Workload across hosts
  • Facilitate specification of Monitoring and subsequent remediation (e.g. auto-Scaling)
  • Deployment of specific workload in specific security zones
• Customer Examples:
  • Desire to use same IT policies on “traditional” and for workload on OpenStack
  • DevOps with “Ops” setup added at production without other changes
  • Evolution towards Autonomous IT beyond just Auto-Scaling

Objectives

• Add ability to use policies to guide provisioning workloads and their subsequent management:
  • Declaratively attached to models
  • Separation of concern from development (e.g. can change across stages)
• Examples of Use Cases:
  • Provisioning: Select how to best provision among options
    • E.g. Placement (location, security zone, Staging zone) choices; Requirements on infrastructure
  • Monitoring: Setup OpenStack or external systems to monitor the workload / Environment:
    • Performance/Ops
    • Security
    • Usage
    • Compliance
  • Events/Incident handling: where to aggregate/Process/Notify
  • Remediation: How to fix issues (e.g. Auto-scale – Who decides, What to do; Reaction in production to security threat or compliance issue)
