What would you do if your storage infrastructure weren't a barrier to your cloud? In 'Accelerate your OpenStack Deployment' you'll see how Agile Infrastructure (AI) simplifies deployments and dynamic IT-as-a-Service-style offerings, such as self-service test & development or production-ready private clouds. AI frees you to think up the stack and stop worrying about your infrastructure.

OpenStack: Everything You Need To Know to Get Started (ATO2014)Mark Voelker
Slides for my talk at All Things Open 2014
OpenStack is widely recognized as a leading open source cloud computing platform and has attracted plenty of attention from developers, end users, IT companies, and media. As OpenStack continue to gain adoption, the audience of potential users continues to expand. Whether you’re building a public cloud service or private clouds for e-commerce, video/collaboration apps, sceintific research, NFV, or are simply looking for a more elastic model of infrastructure, OpenStack is an option to consider. This talk will serve as an extensive introduction for newcomers to OpenStack. We’ll discuss both the software itself and the makeup of the community of developers and users around it. We’ll learn how to contribute to OpenStack, who’s using it today, different deployment scenarios and use cases, and provide both online and local resources for learning more. We’ll also provide an introduction to incubated components, underpinning pieces, and pointers to installers and service providers who can help you get started.

A description of how we built Open Cloud System (OCS), an OpenStack-powered complete cloud operating system. With a focus on AWS and GCE interoperability, we describe why hybrid cloud interoperability matters and how we got there. Anyone can do it and we think you should too.
This 2nd major State of the Stack address is a complete refresh of the spring 2013 edition, broadcast live on BrightTALK from the OpenStack Summit in Hong Kong.

Randy Bias, CEO and Co-founder of Cloudscaling examines the progress from Grizzly to Havana and delves into new areas like refstack, tripleO, bare metal server provisioning, the move from "projects" to "programs", and public/hybrid cloud compatibility. Check out the updated statistics on project momentum and look more closely at big upgrades in Havana, including OpenStack Orchestrate (Heat), which has the opportunity to change the game for OpenStack in the greater private and hybrid cloud game. We also discuss the "what is 'core'" debate and examine the idea that OpenStack is a kernel, not a complete cloud OS.

Liberate Your Files with a Private Cloud Storage Solution powered by Open SourceIsaac Christoffersen
Many of today's enterprises are working under a false assumption that there is a trade-off between consumer-centric file sharing and corporate IT policy compliance. This is because most market-leading SaaS solutions for file sync and share are not designed around enterprise IT's needs. They represent growing risks with vendor lock-in, data security, compliance and data ownership.
With a track record in delivering innovative Open Source solutions, Vizuri has an answer to help enterprises overcome these hurdles. By leveraging innovative Red Hat and ownCloud open source solutions, this solution help corporate IT provide a simple to use file sync and share solution for employees. As a result, organizations are able to retain a greater control over valuable intellectual property.

With the widespread adoption of hybrid multicloud as the de-facto architecture for the enterprise, organizations everywhere are modernizing to deliver tangible business value around data-intensive applications and workloads such as AI-driven IoT and Hyperledgers. Shifting from on-premises to public cloud services, private clouds, and moving from disk to flash – sometimes concurrently – opens the door to enormous potential, but also the unintended consequence of IT complexity.

Redefining HCI: How to Go from Hyper Converged to Hybrid Cloud InfrastructureNetApp
The hyper converged infrastructure (HCI) market is entering a new phase of maturity. A modern HCI solution requires a private cloud platform that integrates with public clouds to create a consistent hybrid multi-cloud experience.
During this webinar, NetApp and an IDC guest speaker covered what led to the next generation of hyper converged infrastructure and which five capabilities are required to go from hyper converged to hybrid cloud infrastructure.
As we enter 2019, what stands out is how trends in business and technology are connected by common themes. For example, AI is at the heart of trends in development, data management, and delivery of applications and services at the edge, core, and cloud. Also essential are containerization as a critical enabling technology and the increasing intelligence of IoT devices at the edge. Navigating the tempests of transformation are developers, whose requirements are driving the rapid creation of new paradigms and technologies that they must then master in pursuit of long-term competitive advantage. Here are some of our perspectives and predictions for 2019.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
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.

Sample Use Cases Examples
33. • Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Certification Test Suite
• Tempest Test
• Deployment
– Provision from bare metal to operating system 17 nodes within 30 minutes
– Install and configure OpenStack on the same 17 nodes in less than 30 minutes
• Scalability
– Verify the ability to scale block storage and compute instances
– Dynamically add compute nodes into the environment
• Resource Agility
– Time to deploy 1000 Instances: 2.5 hours
– Time to delete 1000 Instances: 11 minutes
– Time to boot 1000 volumes as new Instances: 2.25 hours
– Time to delete 1000 instances and volumes: 17 minutes
Validated and Tested Use Cases
34. • Quality of Service (QoS)
– Demonstrate the QoS merits of the SolidFire storage system by showing multiple
applications running in parallel on the same shared storage infrastructure
• database
• file/web server
• general operating system IO
• readonly
• writeonly
• 80/20 mixed read/write
– Allow users to specify the IO requirements for a volume at create time

35. SolidFire Agile Infrastructure
Self Service Converged Infrastructure for Dynamic IT Environments
• Best-of-Breed Design
– Leading technology across all layers of the stack to deliver a fully featured cloud
infrastructure solution
• True Scale-Out
– Allows for a more flexible and cost effective design as infrastructure expands
• No Lock-In
– Modularity at each layer of the stack eliminates threat of hardware or software lock-in
• Accelerated Time to Value
– Pre-validated solution drastically reduces complexity of adopting self-service cloud
infrastructure
• Guaranteed Performance
– With SolidFire’s unique QoS controls, AI can easily accommodate mixed workload
environments without compromising performance to any one application
