If you\u2019ve spent time in the open source community, you\u2019ve likely heard of and benefited from\u00a0Linux Foundation Education<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Cloud Native Computing Foundation<\/a>\u00a0(CNCF). With its\u00a0mission<\/a>\u00a0to foster growth and evolve the cloud native and open source ecosystem, CNCF has a charter to promote the adoption of cloud native computing\u2014a simple, yet profound order.<\/p>\n To pull this off, while also helping develop, maintain, and\u00a0steward graduated projects, including Kubernetes, Helm, Argo, Prometheus<\/a>, and ongoing professional training, CNCF and Linux Foundation Education need massive, cost-efficient cloud resources.<\/p>\n As part of its ongoing mission to contribute to open source projects and invest in open source technology at large, Oracle wanted to ensure that CNCF and Linux Foundation Education could fulfill their mission as the need for greater resources increased.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why on November 7, 2023,\u00a0Oracle announced its support for the Open Source Community at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon<\/a>\u00a0by donating Ampere Arm-based compute credits ($3 million per year for three years) to CNCF to foster innovative cloud native projects. Fortunately, Linux Foundation Education has been able to take advantage of these new credits to help improve cloud cost savings and flexibility.<\/p>\n Linux Foundation Education\u2019s platform faced rising operational costs due to the growing demand for its hands-on training labs and certification exams, including the\u00a0Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA)<\/a>,\u00a0Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD)<\/a>, and\u00a0Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist<\/a>\u00a0(CKS) exams. The existing infrastructure, built on a leading cloud provider, struggled to maintain cost efficiency as usage scaled.<\/p>\n Linux Foundation Education explored alternative cloud solutions to reduce costs and improve flexibility. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)\u00a0 offered a significant opportunity, with a combination of cost-effective compute resources and a flexible infrastructure model. This was especially relevant in light of Oracle’s donation of Arm credits for CNCF projects.<\/p>\n Linux Foundation Education\u2019s team recognized the potential to use CNCF\u2019s OCI Arm credits along with other OCI services to optimize its training and certification environments. This strategic move allowed Linux Foundation Education to expand the use of the donated credits beyond CNCF projects, supporting broader adoption of OCI. Linux Foundation Education used the following\u00a0OCI<\/a>\u00a0services and technologies in this project:<\/p>\n Linux Foundation Education\u2019s migration to OCI involved a structured approach:<\/p>\n Linux Foundation Education chose OCI due to the following advantages:<\/p>\n Additionally, Oracle\u2019s Go-Live Assurance Team worked closely with Linux Foundation Education\u2019s Platform Engineers to ensure a seamless transition. This partnership was crucial in mitigating risks and maintaining service continuity during the busy season.<\/p>\n After a successful migration, the focus shifted to continuous performance monitoring and optimization. OCI\u2019s Go-Live assurance team collaborated again with Linux Foundation Education engineers to fine-tune the system for peak efficiency. Additionally, cost monitoring strategies were implemented to ensure ongoing financial sustainability through FinOps best practices.<\/p>\n The migration from the previous cloud provider to OCI resulted in substantial cost savings, estimated at $1 million annually. This optimization was achieved by transitioning to OCI Kubernetes Engine (OKE) with virtualization enabled on its nodes, allowing Linux Foundation Education to use OCI\u2019s virtual machines efficiently. This approach offered a more flexible cost model compared to the previous provider’s reliance on higher-cost instance types.<\/p>\n \u201cThrough our use of OKE and virtualization\u2026[OCI\u2019s] virtual machines have given us flexibility in our cost model,\u201d says Marcus Robertson, Vice President, Educational Platforms, Linux Foundation Education.<\/p>\n Linux Foundation Education continues to migrate additional workloads to OCI, including\u00a0Kubernetes Fundamentals (LFS258)<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Kubernetes for Developers (LFD259)<\/a>. Moving forward, the Linux Foundation Education team plans to migrate the full suite of hands-on training labs and exams, with the goal of reducing hosting costs by more than 50%.<\/p>\n To explore what Linux Foundation Education offers and perhaps take an exam or course yourself, check out these offerings, hosted on OCI.<\/p>\n \u30aa\u30fc\u30d7\u30f3\u30bd\u30fc\u30b9\u30b3\u30df\u30e5\u30cb\u30c6\u30a3\u306b\u53c2\u52a0\u3057\u305f\u7d4c\u9a13\u304c\u3042\u308c\u3070\u3001Linux Foundation Education\u3068Cloud Native Computing Foundation\uff08CNCF\uff09\u306b\u3064\u3044\u3066\u8033\u306b\u3057\u305f\u3053\u3068\u304c\u3042\u308b\u3067\u3057\u3087\u3046\u3057\u3001\u305d\u306e\u6069\u6075\u3092\u53d7\u3051\u305f\u7d4c\u9a13\u3082\u3042\u308b\u3067\u3057\u3087\u3046\u3002\u30af\u30e9\u30a6\u30c9\u306e\u6210\u9577\u3068\u9032\u5316\u3092\u4fc3\u9032\u3059\u308b\u3068\u3044\u3046\u4f7f\u547d\u3092\u63b2\u3052\u308bCNCF\u306f\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"author":143,"featured_media":39061,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[363],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-contributed"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/training.linuxfoundation.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/training.linuxfoundation.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/training.linuxfoundation.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/training.linuxfoundation.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/143"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/training.linuxfoundation.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39060"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/training.linuxfoundation.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39060\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39064,"href":"https:\/\/training.linuxfoundation.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39060\/revisions\/39064"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/training.linuxfoundation.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/training.linuxfoundation.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/training.linuxfoundation.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/training.linuxfoundation.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Goals for cloud migration<\/strong><\/h2>\n
