To this end, the company has leveraged Cloud Foundry in its strategy to use PaaS as an internal cloud, and increase the company\u2019s adoption of agile DevOps and Continuous Deployment. It set out to adopt a technology stack that is open and which allows portability between a variety of IaaS providers (with internal and external parity).<\/p>\n<p>Within this PaaS strategy, Monsanto also has goals to increase developer agility and productivity by enabling automated self service application management, and to keep the cost of entry low.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/monsanto-halves-dev-cycle-activity-times-with-cloud-foundry\/#Facing_and_overcoming_barriers\" >Facing and overcoming barriers<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/monsanto-halves-dev-cycle-activity-times-with-cloud-foundry\/#Future_tactics_and_strategy\" >Future tactics and strategy<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/monsanto-halves-dev-cycle-activity-times-with-cloud-foundry\/#Related_videos\" >Related videos<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/monsanto-halves-dev-cycle-activity-times-with-cloud-foundry\/#Related_links\" >Related links<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/monsanto-halves-dev-cycle-activity-times-with-cloud-foundry\/#Related_slides\" >Related slides<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Facing_and_overcoming_barriers\"><\/span>Facing and overcoming barriers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The company faced common cloud barriers in developing and executing its strategy. For one thing, \u201cmost enterprise software stacks are not cloud friendly,\u201d notes Seidenstricker. \u201cAgile development doesn\u2019t work without agile infrastructure. Emerging technologies are hard to try out, and even harder to adopt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As of the middle of 2014, Monsanto\u2019s journey so far encountered the fact that Cloud Foundry &amp; Bosh are stable open platforms with many large adopters. Cloud Foundry itself is a developer-focused tool even as some admin and support capabilities are still maturing. Large adopters have built their own tools or extended the platform to fill in any gaps, in areas such as monitoring\/alerting, simple AD integration, and IaaS provider-\u00adspecific features.<\/p>\n<p>Monsanto turned to Pivotal, which can provide a turn\u00ad-key solution for PaaS, including GUI\u2019s, installers, 24\/7 support, and support for vSphere. Furthermore, \u201cvarious activities of the application development life cycle can be reduced by 50% or more,\u201d according to Seidenstricker. Platform requirements being met by the solution as of mid-\u00ad2014 included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Backup and restore procedures for Cloud Foundry<\/li>\n<li>Cloud Foundry logging with Splunk<\/li>\n<li>Multiple AZ support in AWS<\/li>\n<li>Single-click install for VMware<\/li>\n<li>User authentication via Direct AD integration<\/li>\n<li>Built-in monitoring and alerting of the Cloud Foundry platform components<\/li>\n<li>S3-compatible object store PCF service<\/li>\n<li>Multiple AZ (cluster) support on vSphere<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The reference to Splunk relates to some custom monitoring and alerting functionality. A screenshot is provided below:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3069\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Monitoring-of-Pivotal-CloudFoundry-with-JMX.jpg\" alt=\"Monitoring of Pivotal CloudFoundry with JMX\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The background to this screen: Cloud Foundry\u2019s LoggerData is a well\u00ad-developed tool for aggregating logs and exposing them to developers. But, asks Seidenstricker, \u201cwhat if you want to integrate Splunk and LoggerData for other applications that are not on Cloud Foundry?\u201d Pivotal has written documentation for this task. (See link and related video at the end of this use case.)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Future_tactics_and_strategy\"><\/span>Future tactics and strategy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Monsanto\u2019s tactical objectives for the remainder of 2014 included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Role access tied to AD groups<\/li>\n<li>DEA placement pools<\/li>\n<li>\u201cProduction\u201d RDBMS and Hadoop PCF services<\/li>\n<li>Single-click install for AWS<\/li>\n<li>Encryption of app data at rest (perhaps)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The company\u2019s overall PaaS strategy is to proceed with an internal Cloud Foundry environment, with an internal proving grounds for cloud application architectures and processes, including DevOps. \u201cAn internal cloud allows us to mitigate challenges with cost models, security, and data classification,\u201d according to Seidenstricker.<\/p>\n<p>Monsanto also plans to shift from proprietary non\u00ad-cloud friendly software towards open\u00ad-source emerging technologies that would be available at an external cloud offering, and target new non-\u00adbusiness critical apps that will run dev through production on Cloud Foundry. The company also plans gathering real-\u00adlife metrics on improvements to various aspects of the development lifecycle-\u00ad\u00addelivery, support, discovery, etc.\u00ad\u00adto build a true TCO.<\/p>\n<p>Within that context, it will also be assessing the actual impact of existing known and unknown product gaps. Then, based on the completed assessment, the vision is to proceed with a full scale deployment in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Monsanto\u2019s senior management commitment to this vision is \u201cNot if, but how.\u201d The vision is to drive revenue through disruptive innovation, and to improve lives by improving agriculture. Its use of Cloud Foundry fits into this vision.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_videos\"><\/span>Related videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Here is the original video presentation of the Splunk tool<br \/>\n<center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6tTSL41HUZQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n[blockquote cite=\"Mark Seidenstricker, Monsanto Global Strategy &amp; Architecture\"]More good news is this is actually pretty intuitive.[\/blockquote]\n<p>Matt Stine with Pivotal describes the Splunk implementation in this video:<br \/>\n<center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rk_K_AAHEEI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_links\"><\/span>Related links<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Here&#8217;s <a title=\"Matt\u2019s documentation\" href=\"http:\/\/docs.run.pivotal.io\/devguide\/services\/integrate-splunk.html\" target=\"_blank\">Matt\u2019s documentation<\/a>.
