This document discusses approaches to managing applications across multiple cloud platforms, or multi-cloud management. It advocates taking a pragmatic approach using containers, Kubernetes, and automation. Kubernetes can provide a common layer of abstraction across clouds and simplify the multi-cloud challenge. An example approach is presented using ONAP microservices and Kubernetes to deploy applications across clouds. Automation is key to allow integration between clouds and platforms in a hybrid environment. The summary emphasizes that hybrid cloud is a reality and Kubernetes with standards like TOSCA can help provide interoperability when managing applications on multiple clouds.
This presentation provides an introduction to the Cloudify integration plugin with Terraform.
This integration allows Terraform users to use Cloudify to manage configuration and workflow of applications ontop of an infrastructure that was created by Terraform.
It has long been debated whether OpenStack is production ready. In this session you will learn how a major bank has gone to production with more than 5000 VMs that delivered the results of a 40% decrease in cost, reduced deployment time to hours not weeks, 56 new technologies introduced, 7 new platforms launched - all in under a year. Learn how their platform built on Rackspace and RHEL, coupled with best of breed open source tooling - SaltStack, Jenkins, Cloudify, and Nexus are the enablers for production-grade OpenStack.

Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit: Hitchhiker's Guide to the CloudMark Hinkle
Imagine it's eight o'clock on a Thursday morning and you awake to see a bulldozer out your window ready to plow over your data center. Normally you may wish to consult the Encyclopedia Galáctica to discern the best course of action but your copy is likely out of date. And while the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (HHGTTG) is a wholly remarkable book it doesn't cover the nuances of cloud computing. That's why you need the Hitchhiker's Guide to Cloud Computing (HHGTCC) or at least to attend this talk understand the state of open source cloud computing. Specifically this talk will cover infrastructure-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service and developments in big data and how to more effectively take advantage of these technologies using open source software. Technologies that will be covered in this talk include Apache CloudStack, Chef, CloudFoundry, NoSQL, OpenStack, Puppet and many more.

One And Done Multi-Cloud Load Balancing Done Right.pptxAvi Networks
Did you know that on average, it takes organizations more than three months using legacy load balancers to scale their load balancing capacity? That includes tedious policy management, expensive over-provisioning (or even more expensive under-provisioning), and the risk of supply-chain delays.
Join us for an eye-opening discussion of application delivery done right. By following the guiding principles of a cloud operating model, your team can get operational simplicity, multi-cloud consistency, pervasive analytics, holistic security and full life-cycle automation. This means less time spent on manual, repetitive tasks and troubleshooting, freeing up more time to proactively manage and automate your load balancers.
To unlock the fastest path to value from the cloud, enterprises must consider how to industrialize the application delivery process across each layer of the cloud environment, namely

Cloud Expo East 2013: Essential Open Source Software for Building the Open CloudMark Hinkle
Cloud computing is more than a buzz-phrase it’s a transformative IT paradigm shift. The emphasis in the cloud is on elasticity, scalability, agility and open. Not just open standards but open APIs and open source. The delivery of software is also going through a paradigm shift. Open source software was often a commoditization of a market leader; Unix to Linux or Oracle to MySQL what’s changing is that the iterative nature, user context and the motto of releasing early and often are driving real innovation in open source.
This session will cover those essential open source technologies for delivering cloud computing in the enterprise.

Orchestration tool roundup kubernetes vs. docker vs. heat vs. terra form vs...Nati Shalom
Video recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGlIgUeoGz8
It’s no news that containers represent a portable unit of deployment, and OpenStack has proven an ideal environment for running container workloads. However, where it usually becomes more complex is that many times an application is often built out of multiple containers. What’s more, setting up a cluster of container images can be fairly cumbersome because you need to make one container aware of another and expose intimate details that are required for them to communicate which is not trivial especially if they’re not on the same host.
These scenarios have instigated the demand for some kind of orchestrator. The list of container orchestrators is growing fairly fast. This session will compare the different orchestation projects out there - from Heat to Kubernetes to TOSCA - and help you choose the right tool for the job.

Application and Network Orchestration using Heat & ToscaNati Shalom
The buzzwords Neutron, Heat, and TOSCA are spoken about quite often when it comes to the OpenStack - and many of us are still trying to make sense of the terminology and its place in the OpenStack world.
Where OpenStack Neutron provides APIs for creating network elements, OpenStack Heat provides an orchestration engine for automating the setup and configuration of OpenStack infrastructure, while TOSCA is a standard for templating and defining application topology and policies (that form the basis for Heat). In this context, it really makes sense to put these all together to achieve application and network automation for OpenStack on steroids.
In this session we will learn how we can use the robust combination of Heat and TOSCA to configure and control resources on Nova and Neutron in order to automate the network configuration as part of the application deployment.
The session will include a demo and code examples that show how you can configure virtual networks, attach public IPs, set up security groups, set up load balancing and automatically scale up/down and more. You will leave this session understanding where Neutron meets Heat and TOSCA.
This talk was delivered as part of OpenStack Paris summit - 2014 - http://openstacksummitnovember2014paris.sched.org/event/2b85b682ccaf3a5961e463b61e2403f8#.VFeuG_TF8mc
During the past few years we’ve seen how our entire data-center becomes software defined. This include the Compute, Storage, Network and also Configuration. This new data centre is the cloud.
The missing piece in the puzzle:
While this is pretty much old news there is one big thing that is missing in this puzzle and that is the operator itself.
The operator is responsible for running processes such:
* Installation of new apps
* Upgrades and update of new features or patches
* Performance tuning
* Handling failure
* Managing the capacity to meet the scaling demand.
Most of those tasks today involves lots of human intervention. Users who realised that gap try to mitigate that by putting their own custom automation - usually that comes in a form of scripts on-top of the configuration management. Those custom scripts tend to grow fairly quickly to the point where they become unmanageable.
This presentation will introduce how we can use an orchestrator to automate those tasks and by that create a software defined Operator.
Complex Analytics with NoSQL Data Store in Real TimeNati Shalom
NOSQL are often limited in the type of queries that they can support due to the distributed nature of the data. In this session we would learn patterns on how we can overcome this limitation and combine multiple query semantics with NoSQL based engines.
We will demonstrate specifically a combination of key/value, SQL like, Document model and Graph based queries as well as more advanced topic such as handling partial update and query through projection. We will also demonstrate how we can create a meshaup between those API's i.e. write fast through Key/Value API and execute complex queries on that same data through SQL query.

Is Orchestration the Next Big Thing in DevOpsNati Shalom
DevOps processes (such as continuous deployment and delivery) often involve writing many custom scripts that are triggered by the build system. With that approach, it is relatively hard to trace the deployment process and troubleshoot when something goes wrong. Additionally, custom scripts are often not written in an easily understood manner. In this session we will walk through specific DevOps workflows (such as install, update, etc) using Riemann as the framework in subject and see the steps required to automate those processes. We will also discuss how Cloudify uses Riemann to provide simple execution and monitoring of those workflow processes. We will share how one customer, PaddyPower, was able to leverage Cloudify to transition their traditional IT into a DevOps environment, bridging the gap betwe
When networks meets apps (open stack atlanta)Nati Shalom
Recent advancements in OpenStack capabilities have made the cloud better tuned to enterprise needs by introducing much more flexible network designs and networking services, with the tradeoff of making the cloud more complex.
In this session we will describe how we can leverage the power of the new networking advancement without exposing the complexity to the end user. We will present alternative approaches and their tradeoffs for automating the deployment of a typical n-tier enterprise application that include multi-tenant environment, separate network for admin and applications, cross region network, attach a floating IP, setup security groups etc. all through a combination of Heat, TOSCA, Chef, Puppet, and more.
The experience of automating continuous delivery processes with Chef and Cloudify through an application-centric approach to DevOps, and how this model transformed PaddyPower's traditional IT into DevOps, keeping their Devs and their Ops happy.

As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

9. The Challenge
Operational
Chaos:
● Who’s running what?
Where?
● How much does it cost?
● Who is running ON what?
Automation, cost, and
performance optimization are
bound to a specific platform
11. Cloud Management Platform - Infrastructure first
Pros:
● Single Pane of Glass
● Cost analysis and control
Cons
● Limited application
awareness
● Doesn’t fit well with
devops processes
● Limited cloud services (Least
Common Denominator)
12. PaaS - Application First Approach
Pros:
● Kubernetes and containers
are supported by all major
clouds
● Application / Micro Services
centric
Cons
● Suits mostly for Green Field
● Lack of interoperability with
the rest of the world..
13. Multi-Cloud Orchestration - Automation First
Pros:
● Works across a wide variety
of public / private clouds
● Can support any cloud
service or application
● Highly customizable
Cons
● Requires customization per
application / cloud
14. Too Many Options?
14
Your apps
sucks,
rewrite!
No More
VMware!
Docker is
awesome
dude!
Private Cloud
is Dead!
We’ll Solve all
Your
problems..
15. Take the Pragmatic Approach to Multi-Cloud
● The only constant is change!
● There ain’t a single solution
that fits all
● Keep your options open - Avoid
locking into a single platform
16. Take the Pragmatic Approach to Multi-Cloud
● Let’s be more specific ..
○ Use Containers where possible
○ Kubernetes simplify the multi cloud challenge
(Supported by all major clouds)
○ Use Automation Framework to allow
integration and interoperability between the
various clouds and platform
○ Use a declarative approach to abstract the
demand (application), from the supply
(infrastructure resources)
17. Example: A Pragmatic Approach to Multi-Cloud
ONAP Operation Manager (OOM)
● New linux Foundation Project
● Comprised out of Dozen
Micro Services using
Docker/Kubernetes
● Multi-Stack/ Multi Cloud
18. Example: A Pragmatic Approach to Multi-Cloud
Manage Kubernetes Infrastructure
On Multi Cloud
● Create VM/Baremetal
machine
● Configure the
network/Storage, Security,
Monitoring ..
● Seamless integration (Using
the Kubernetes Provider
plugin)
● Auto-Scale, Heal workflow (or
manual)
Kubernetes Nodes
Kubernetes Master
Network
Setup
Kubernetes Multi Cloud Cluster Blueprint
19. Example: A Pragmatic Approach to Multi Cloud
Manage ONAP Microservices on
Kubernetes
● Templatize the standard
Kubernetes template (in-line
or by reference) ..
● Dependency and discovery
between services.
● Allow execution of workflow
Deployment
Blueprint
Plugin
20. Example: A Pragmatic Approach to Multi Cloud

● Support a combination of
Kubernetes services
alongside standard VM’s ,
BigData applications, Lamda
Services, Legacy Application
under the same
automation/orchestration
template
Deployment
Blueprint
Plugin
21. Example: A Pragmatic Approach to Multi-Cloud
Multi Site / Environment..
● Managing Multiple
Kubernetes clusters
○ Cross site deployment
○ Dev, QA, Production
○ Multi-Cloud
Private
Public
Bare-metal
22. Live Demo..
● Define a new service into a
deployment template
● Deploy the service into an
existing Kubernetes cluster.
23. Summary
● Hybrid cloud is a reality you can’t avoid
● Kubernetes provides a good abstraction
for managing application on multi-cloud
● Standard modeling such as TOSCA
makes the interoperability of Kubernetes
with the outside world possible
