Description
Organizations are experiencing fragmented visibility; inconsistent user experiences; and significant complexity in application consumption, deployment and management. See how IBM Cloud® Satellite™ gives you the ability to use IBM Cloud services anywhere — on IBM Cloud, on premises or at the edge — delivered as a service from a single pane of glass controlled through the public cloud.
A
I
was,
I
was
on
a
podcast
recently
and
someone
asked
me
a
question.
Well,
there's
there's
public
cloud,
there's
private
cloud,
there's
multi-cloud,
there's
hybrid
cloud,
there's
so
many
different
clouds.
What
is
distributed
cloud-
and
you
know
I
think
this
is
sort
of
the
evolution
of
where
we're.
Where
we're
seeing
cloud
go
and
you
know
we've.
We've
talked
a
lot
about
hybrid
and
multi
in
in
the
past,
but
really
the
last
six
to
eight
months.
A
It
says,
distributed
cloud
refers
to
the
distribution
of
public
cloud
services
to
different
physical
locations,
while
the
operation,
governance
and
evolution
of
the
services
remain
the
responsibility
of
the
public
cloud
provider
and
I
think
that's
kind
of
key
that's
what
we're
hearing
is
that
you
know
clients
want
to
turn
key
solution.
They
want
this
to
be
super
easy
and
they
want
someone
else
to
take
that
burden
away
away
from
them
and
so
introducing
the
ibm
cloud
satellite.
A
Is
that
there's
a
lot
of
flexibility
in
the
infrastructure
that
you
can
leverage,
so
one
there's
lots
of
different
options,
and
one
option
is
that
you
leverage
your
existing.
You
know
infrastructure
that
lives
in
your
data
center
today
or
you
know
anywhere.
It
resides
but
you're
you're
leveraging
that,
in
you
know
existing
infrastructure.
A
The
second
option
is
leveraging
our
global
technology
services
at
ibm.
We
have
an
amazing
services
organization
and
they
can
come
in
and
actually
provide
infrastructure
as
a
service
to
you
and
a
turnkey
solution,
and
do
it
all
for
you
and
then,
of
course
you
can
leverage
ibm
cloud
as
one
option
for
that
infrastructure,
and
then
we
also
have
an
appliance.
That
is,
you
know,
pre-configured,
to
run
ibm
cloud
satellite,
so
you
can
a
little
bit
of
a
diy
solution
where
you
can
run
that
in
your
data
center
and
then.
A
B
Thanks
brianna,
I
think
that
gave
a
really
good
view
of
the
problems
that
we're
trying
to
solve
with
ibm
caught
satellite
and
this
exciting
new
capability
that
we're
building
to
take
the
experience
of
public
cloud
that
you
know
and
love
in
in
ibm
and
extend
it
in
this
flexible
way
to
other
physical
locations
where
you
might
want
to
run
it.
And
I
thought
maybe.
B
Go
a
little
bit
deeper
and
help
you
understand
what
we're
doing
and
what
satellite
can
bring
to
the
table
is
actually
to
show
it
to
you.
So
I'm
going
to
walk
you
through
a
quick
demo
of
ibm
cloud
satellite.
This
is,
of
course,
early
we're
just
entering
beta
at
this
time
with
satellite,
but
I
think
it'll
give
you
a
good
sense
for
the
core
ideas
that
satellite
brings
to
the
table
and
how
you
might
actually
interact
with
it
as
a
user
of
the
cloud
to
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
services
anywhere.
B
B
The
most
important
new
concept
that
we're
introducing
is
the
notion
of
a
location.
A
location
is
a
collection
of
resources
outside
of
ibm
cloud's
data
center.
So
it
could
be
in
your
data
center.
It
could
be
at
the
edge
of
the
network.
It
could
be
anywhere
you
need
them
in
a
shipping
court
in
a
distribution
center
anywhere
in
the
world
that
you
need
to
be
able
to
land
your
applications
or
services
that
you
want
to
consume
from
the
cloud
to
get
started.
B
Of
course,
I
need
to
create
a
location
and
creating
a
location
is
actually
really
easy.
It
starts
with
two
simple
questions:
one
is
the
name
of
the
location,
but
the
other
is
where
you
want
this
managed
from
so
with
ibm
cloud
satellite,
the
ibm
public
cod
acts
as
the
common
control
plane
as
the
management
hub
for
managing
all
those
locations
and
the
things
that
run
in
them,
and
so
your
personal
location,
let's
say
in
your
data
center,
connects
back
to
ibm
cloud.
B
So
you
pick
one
of
our
major
regions
like
dallas,
for
example,
as
the
place
that
you
want
to
connect
and
manage
your
location
from
so
now.
What
I've
done
is
I've
created
this
location
and
I've
been
quad,
is
off,
defining
it
and
standing
up
the
resources
that
I
need
to.
Allow
me
to
start
to
leverage
that
location.
B
Now,
we're
not
gonna.
You
know
in
interest
of
time
we'll
go
and
look
at
an
existing
location
that
I
have
and
we'll
use
that
as
the
as
the
base
to
build
from
okay.
So
here
you
can
see
in
my
account,
I
actually
have
a
bunch
of
locations.
You
can
see
that
that
location
we
just
created
is
in
the
process
of
being
stood
up.
Let's
look
at
an
existing
location
that
we
have
and
take
a
look
at
the
process
to
go
from
defining
that
location
to
actually
making
it
available
for
you
to
use
all
right.
B
So
here
you
can
see
all
the
locations
that
exist
within
my
account,
and
you
can
see
that
my
location
that
we
just
created
is
in
the
process
of
being
stood
up,
but
instead
of
waiting
for
that
to
finish,
let's
look
at
an
existing
location.
I
already
had
defined
so
we're
going
to
look
at
this
location
called
port
raleigh.
If
you
click
on
the
location,
you
can
see
that
this
location
has
been
populated
with
a
set
of
hosts.
Well,
how
did.
A
B
Get
here,
let's
just
walk
quickly
through
the
process
of
creating
a
new
location,
so
I've
defined
it
and
after
it
finished,
I
would
land
here.
The
next
step
in
creating
the
location
is,
you
have
to
add
some
host
to
it.
You
have
to
configure
some
linux
machines
to
act
as
capacity
to
support,
running
applications
and
services
in
that
location.
B
Adding
hosts
is
really
easy.
You
need
a
linux
machine
could
be
a
virtual
machine.
It
could
be
a
bare
metal
server.
It
could
come
out
of
your
existing
vmware
environment
on
premise
or
out
of
an
openstack
environment
out
of
physical
servers
that
you
have
in
your
data
center.
You
stand
up
those
linux
machines
and
all
you
have
to
do.
To
connect
them
to
satellite
is
run
a
script
on
them
which
will
register
and
connect
them
to
ibm
cloud
satellite
to
get
that
script.
You
click
retrieve
script.
B
B
The
next
step
is
three
of
those
machines
need
to
be
used
to
manage
the
location
itself,
so
we
need
a
little
bit
of
capacity
and
satellite
that
allows
us
to
manage
the
workloads
that
are
going
to
run
in
your
location
and
so
to
do
that,
you
configure
those
three
hosts
and
you
simply
select
from
the
six
that
we
created
the
three
that
would
be
used
to
manage
the
location
in
this
case.
I've
already
done
that
and
then
I'm
done
so.
At
this
point
I
have
a
location
that
extends
ibm
cloud.
B
Now,
let's
say
I
want
to
actually
run
a
service
on
that
location.
Let's
take
something
simple
like
open
shift.
How
would
I
do
that?
So
if
I
go
to
the
openshift
service
within
ibm
cloud,
this
is
the
service
within
ibm
cloud
that
runs
openshift
clusters
as
a
service
on
your
behalf.
You
can
see
here
a
list
of
a
bunch
of
clusters
that
I
have
some
of
which
are
in
satellite
locations
and
some
of
which
are
on
the
cloud.
B
When
I
select
satellite,
I
can
then
select
the
list
of
locations
that
are
available
to
me
in
my
account,
unlike
port
raleigh,
I
give
the
thing
a
name
and
I
hit
create
and
satellite
will
go
and
actually
create
that
openshift
environment
inside
the
location
and
run
it
for
me.
So
this
is
the
same
api
you
see
on
public
cloud,
it's
operated
as
a
service
just
like
in
in
ibm
cloud.
We
update
it,
we
manage
it,
we
maintain
it.
B
You
simply
consume
openshift
in
that
environment
and
if
I
were
to
go
look
at
one
of
those
clusters
like
this
one
that
already
existed,
I
can
see
that
this
one
is
using
two
hosts
within
the
location
and
I
can
access
that
openshift
console
the
same
way
that
I
would
access
it
in
any
other
environment
that
I'm
running.
So
it's
a
simple
example
of
how
we
can
get
an
openshift
cluster
up
and
running
within
the
cloud
and
within
that
location.
B
Now,
satellite
does
some
other
interesting
things
for
me,
which
I
think
are
worth
highlighting.
One
is
satellite
locations
are
connected
back
to
ibm
cloud.
That
connection
is
managed
and
secure
and
we
control
all
the
traffic.
That's
going
back
and
forth
between
the
location
and
the
cloud,
and
you
have
the
ability
to
configure
and
control
which
services
are
accessible
from
the
cloud
and
from
the
location.
B
You
can
control
the
traffic
and
who
can
talk
to
who
and
so,
for
example,
if
I'm
back
here
in
the
location
you
can
see,
I
have
a
set
of
end
points
to
find.
Let's
take
something
simple,
ibm
cloud
provides
a
logging
service
in
satellite.
We
send
all
the
logs
for
your
applications
on
that
openshift
cluster.
I
just
created
to
the
logging
service
on
ibm
cloud
that
connection
between
the
location
and
the
logging
service
is
defined
inside
of
satellite.
You
can
see
here
I
have
that
connection
defined.
B
If
I
click
on
that
connection,
I
can
see
all
the
traffic
that's
flowing
back
and
forth
to
that
specific
service.
I
can
see
all
the
sources
who
are
connected
to
that
service.
I
can
turn
them
on
and
off
individually,
so
I
have
full
control
over
exactly
which
endpoints
are
exposed
in
the
location
and
on
the
cloud,
and
I
can
even
audit
all
the
traffic
that's
happening
on
that
specific
connection,
and
so
I
can
go
to
my
security
team
and
I
can
show
them
exactly
which
interactions
are
happening
and
who
is
doing
what.
B
B
I
can
organize
those
clusters
into
groups,
so
I
can
have,
for
example,
a
group
of
clusters
for
development
and
a
group
for
pre-production
and
a
group
for
production,
and
then
I
can
create
configurations.
So
let's
say
I
want
to
make
sure
that
all
of
the
members,
the
developers
building
my
logistics
application,
have
the
right
set
of
let's
say,
resource
quotas
on
the
cluster.
The
right
access
or
resources
on
that.
Well,
I
can
define
that
as
a
configuration,
so
here
I've
defined
a
configuration
for
the
logistics
team.
B
It's
actually
has
two
versions,
there's
one
version
of
the
configuration
that
gives
each
developer
one
cpu
and
one
gig
of
memory
to
use
within
the
environment
and
there's
another
configuration
that
gives
them
10,
cpus
and
10
gigs
of
memory,
and
then
I
can
define
subscriptions
that
say
for
different
groups
of
clusters.
Here's
the
configuration
to
apply
so
you
can
see
here
for
the
development
group
they
get
the
one
cpu
version
and
the
production
group
gets
the
10
cpu
version,
and
I
can
easily
change
that.
B
So
I
can
say
I
want
to
upgrade
all
the
developers
to
10.
I
change
the
version
to
10
and
satellite
will
automatically
roll
that
configuration
out
to
all
the
clusters
that
are
in
that
group.
So
there's
a
powerful
configuration
management
system
built
into
satellite.
It
even
lets
me
get
a
live
view
of
all
of
the
configurations
that
exist.
So
if
I
actually
go
look
at
those
resource
quotas,
you
can
see
these
are
the
resource
quotas
applied
to
all
of
my
clusters.
B
If
I
dive
into
that
cluster,
where
you're
looking
at
you
can
see,
it's
currently
running
version
one
and
it
was
updated
here,
I
can
even
get
a
full
history
of
every
time
that
configuration
was
changed
on
that
cluster,
so
you
have
full
visibility
into
all
the
things
that
are
happening.
So
these
are
the
ideas
of
satellite.
You
extend
ibm
cloud
with
new
locations.
B
You
can
manage
the
network
traffic
within
those
locations.
You
can
manage
configuration
of
applications
within
those
locations.
You
can
provision
services
onto
those
locations
and
consume
those
services.
Just
like
you
were
on
the
public
cloud,
we're
even
working
on
new
services
like
databases
where
you
can
deploy
databases
into
that
location,
and
you
can
manage
those
databases
just
like
you're,
managing
everything
else
on
the
public
cloud.
So
hopefully
that
gives
you
a
good
sense
for
how
satellite
works
and
how
you'll
be
able
to
leverage
it
in
order
to
take
advantage
of
ibm
cloud.
