Important differences between Public Cloud and Private Cloud
Private cloud offers more fine grained control over the infrastructure as compared to Public Cloud
Public cloud exposes only Virtualized infra layer
Virtualized infra layer objects
Aggregate object example: Resource Slice
Atomic object example: VM
Private cloud exposes HW infra layer besides Virtualized infra layer
Virtualized infra layer objects (same as Public Cloud) +
HW infra layer objects
Aggregate object example: Resource Cluster
Atomic object example: Host
Some non-exhaustive examples including benefits of more fine grained HW infrastructure control in a Private Cloud – these are especially relevant for Distributed Edge Clouds
Service Security Policy
Leverage Smart NICs to program security policies to deliver performance & scalability
Service Operational Policy
Leverage Host and Resource Cluster near-real-time resource metrics and real-time faults & alerts to substantially improve closed loop remediation response time
Service Placement Policy
Leverage Resource Cluster near-real-time allocated resource capacity and metrics/faults/alerts to substantially improve dynamic workload placement/scheduling across cloud regions
These can be represented as additional soft constraints in the placement/scheduling minimize/maximize objective function
