47Lining - Cloud Computing State of the Union 2014Mick Bass
2014 brings more maturity and alternatives than ever when it comes to providers of Cloud Computing services and software. With this increasing maturity, the variety of viable usage scenarios for cloud computing is exploding as well. However, all this variety can make it harder to choose the right direction, given your use case.
Mick Bass will provide an Overview of the “State of the Union” of Cloud Computing service and software providers, as well as common business and technology scenarios that drive adoption of Cloud Computing. We’ll cover public, private, hybrid, infrastructure-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service, automation, security, and key economic differences that come into play when deciding on the right alternative for you - and we’ll be sure to leave ample time for a fun and vibrant Q&A and discussion. Mick is CEO of 47Lining, a Boulder–based consultancy that provides Cloud Advisory and Development Services to enterprise customers, focused on the creation of cloud-native data platforms.
Presented at Front Range PHP Users Group, May 21 2014

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

3. Founders
• Brian O’Kelley, CEO - former CTO of Right Media.
Invented, built, sold, and launched the Right Media
Exchange. Scaled the RM environment from 10 to
1500 servers and felt the pain of not having
AppNexus.
• Michiel Nolet,VP of Product - former Director of
Analytics at Right Media.
5. Right Media challenges
• Scale - MySpace is going to send an extra
1B imps/day of volume... next week
• Globalization -Yahoo! Japan wants to do a
pilot, but only if servers are in Japan...
• Integration - let’s integrate a contextual
analysis platform... to all 6 datacenters...
6. Solving the Problems
• Scale: Cloud computing would have been
great - flip servers on when we need them
• Global: Multiple clouds, with smart routing /
load balancing, in key geographies
• Integration: Run new services “in-cloud”
7. Cloud Nexus→
• The cloud becomes a “nexus” where
applications can consume services
• Cloud layer needs to be robust, reliable,
easy-to-use, etc to get adoption
• Centralized directory, documentation,
community, and billing for service providers
9. Nexuses
• One Nexus isn’t enough - applications are
moving global quickly
• Multiple Nexuses around the world, each
with same services and applications
• Build tools to help scale applications (data
tier especially)
10. Revenue Sources
• Rent high-end 4-core boxes for around
$10/core/day (virtualized, of course)
• Rent database boxes, storage, bandwidth,
backup, and many other things too
• Profit-sharing with service providers
• Access fees
12. Differentiators - Near Term
• Global (some tough problems to solve
there - will be compelling)
• Ops tools (very challenging to build a
scalable ops layer)
• Customer-centric (not exciting, but need to
get the little things right - it’s a small world,
and trust travels)
13. Differentiators - Long Term
• With network effect (lots of services & lots
of applications) will be difficult for a new
cloud player to compete - will need to
recruit the services to get the apps and will
need to recruit the apps to get the services
• Lots of tools - idea is to get applications
“locked in” to the AppNexus way
14. Competition
• Amazon / EC2 (biggest risk - they have
capital, the SOA concept, and momentum)
• Rackspace / Gridlayer (hosting companies
have the hardware and the customer base,
but probably not the SOA mentality)
• Google /Yahoo / MSFT etc (not in space
now, but have the capex to enter)
16. “Ping pong” growth
• First applications sign up for the cloud
• These clients become leverage to recruit
software providers
• Co-market with software providers to get
more applications on board
• Repeat...
17. Phase 1:The Cloud
• Build-out and deploy robust physical and
virtual infrastructure to underlie the
Nexuses
• Can be profitable as a standalone service
18. Phase 1 Logistics
• First location live Jan 2008; 2nd in Mar-Apr
• Work closely with initial clients to refine ops layers
(monitoring, provisioning, cluster management tools)
• Beta launch Jan 2008, Scale to 20 clients by mid-2008
• Ideal clients are platforms and services (natural SOA
consumers and purchasers)
• Fund via $2-3MM seed round (plus $2MM of personally
guaranteed debt)
19. Phase 1 Pipeline
• Behavioral Marketing (Exelate, Blue Kai,
Media Six Degrees)
• SaaS (Wide Orbit)
• Gaming (Garage Games)
• Video CDN (Digital Fountain)
20. Phase 2: Credibility
• Go elephant hunting - recruit the
platforms that will make all the services
want to be in their Nexus (or vice versa)
• Aggressively brand as the high-end of the
cloud market - graduate from EC2
Competitor/Cloud-Computing provider
• Leverage key differentiators to keep
pricing high; continue to build IP
21. Phase 2 Logistics
• Start in Q3 2008
• Raise $10-15MM to ramp team, provide
working capital for 2000+ servers
• Need global presence - market may be
stronger (as is currency) overseas
22. Phase 3: Nexus
• With key clients and critical mass, network
effect begins to build
• Focus on comarketing with partners - help
service providers recruit platforms & apps
• Provide arms to both sides of a war that
never ends...
23. Phase 3 Logistics
• Begin in early 2010
• Infrastructure side of business should be
self-sustaining at this point, so shift to
marketing, support, evangelism
• Be opportunistic about acquiring facilities
• Business should be profitable but raise $25-
50MM to expand (and compete)
