This webinar discusses the challenges of managing applications and infrastructure across multiple cloud platforms (multi-cloud). It notes that over half of organizations now use two or more infrastructure as a service (IaaS) vendors and that high availability and avoiding vendor lock-in are top priorities for multi-cloud management and orchestration tools. Finally, it states that most organizations suffer from technological silos that slow the adoption of new technologies and that effective multi-cloud management requires changes to people and processes, not just tools.

Technical Lessons Learned Turning the Agile Dials to Eleven!Craig Smith
Talk delivered by Craig Smith and Paul King at Agile 2008 in Toronto, Canada on 7 August 2008.
Developer practices for traditional and agile Java development are well understood and documented. But dynamic languages - Groovy, Ruby, and others - change the ground rules. Many of the common practices, refactoring techniques, and design patterns we have been taught either no longer apply or should be applied differently and some new techniques come into play. In this talk, techniques for agile development with dynamic languages are discussed. How should we better apply refactoring techniques? What new aspects do we need to think about?
The document provides an overview of cloud native approaches and Kyma. It begins with introductions to cloud native concepts, Kubernetes, and Kyma. It then demonstrates Kyma through scenarios of deploying a service with an API, registering a remote environment, and triggering a lambda function with events. The document discusses Kyma components like the service catalog, event bus, and monitoring tools. It aims to explain how Kyma is a cloud-native integration and extension platform focused on the SAP Hybris portfolio.

Succeeding with DevOps Transformation - Rafal GancarzOpenCredo
This document provides an overview of DevOps and how to succeed with a DevOps transformation. Some key points include:
- DevOps aims to bring development and operations teams together to work more collaboratively through practices like agile and continuous delivery.
- Goals and objectives for the transformation should be identified to address current pain points and organizational needs.
- Metrics related to deployment frequency, change lead time, customer satisfaction and other factors should be measured to track progress.
- Leadership backing, impact on organizational structure, and leveraging new technologies are important considerations for a successful transformation. A pilot project can help demonstrate benefits before expanding the approach.
Migrating a Cloud Foundry from VMware to OpenStack | anyninesanynines GmbH
Cloud Foundry is an open source application platform (PaaS) that was migrated from VMware to OpenStack infrastructure in under an hour with less than 30 minutes of downtime. The migration was done to reduce costs by moving from a hosted VMware platform to a self-hosted OpenStack infrastructure, which doubled monthly resources for half the price. Preparation took a week while execution and downtime were brief, and apps and services continued running on the new infrastructure without issue.

Distribute Your App and Engage Your Community with a Helm RepositoryVMware Tanzu
Tomas Pizarro Moreno presented best practices for maintaining a Helm chart repository. He discussed storing charts in services like AWS S3, GitHub Pages, or Harbor. It is important to thoroughly test charts by running linting, installing with different configurations, and performing verification and functional tests. Charts also need ongoing maintenance like keeping dependent Docker images up-to-date and addressing user feedback. Finally, charts should be published to directories like Helm Hub to make them discoverable.
This document discusses a webinar about integrating infrastructure as code (IaC) security into the development lifecycle using Checkov. It notes that nearly half of open source Terraform and CloudFormation templates contain security issues. Checkov is introduced as an open source IaC scanning tool that supports multiple frameworks and cloud providers. The benefits of Checkov include lower remediation times, reduced security incidents, and simplifying compliance. Integrations with DevOps tools and the Cloud Native Application Platform Approach (CNAPP) are also discussed. A demo of Checkov is then shown including using it with VS Code and Azure DevOps.

CloudStack is one of the most successful Apache projects - but awareness of it remains poor. Giles will give an overview of the technology and explain his view on why CloudStack remains to "secret man" of Apache projects.
Cloud native apps running in containerised environments look set to change the way compute resources are consumed. However, this presents challenges to Cloud Service providers who have already invested heavily in IaaS offerings based on the virtual machine model. We will discuss these challenges, look at the services that end-users will demand and how major public cloud providers have overcome these challenges. We will then showcase an exciting new project that gives a simple method for operators to deploy Containers as a Service to their end-users, based on Apache CloudStack.

Presentation given at the OpenStack summit in Paris (Kilo) on Tue Nov 4th.
Last summit I had the pleasure to present a talk which encountered some success "Are enterprise ready for the OpenStack transformation?" (also published on SlideShare) . This talk is a follow up on what are the best practices that are successful in operating the transformation. We will first focus on identifying the right use cases for a generic enterprise, then define a roadmap with an organisational and a technical track, to finish with the definition what would be our success criterias for our group. This will happen as a workshop summary based on the multiple engagements eNovance has been delivering over the past 2 years.

Depending on their size and complexity, content management systems such as Sitecore can require various workflows and tools for DevOps management. The choice in processes largely depends upon the scale and depth of your DevOps projects.
Deploying DevOps strategies on Microsoft Azure makes it easy to convert your network, virtual machines, databases, and more from infrastructure into code, enabling you to increase speed and reduce risk.
We discussed the benefits of Sitecore DevOps on Microsoft Azure, including using Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Azure (VSTS) to:
-Automate the build-out of Sitecore environments
-Automate code and content deployment
-Use Azure Resource Manager templates, PowerShell, and -VSTS to provision Sitecore environments
-Automate Sitecore installations
-Move your Sitecore databases into Azure SQL

ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
