Taming the cost of your first cloud - CCCEU 2014Tim Mackey
Today everyone is talking about clouds, and a few are building them, but far fewer are operating successful clouds. In this session we'll examine a variety of paradigm shifts IT makes when moving from a traditional virtualization and management mindset to operating a successful cloud. For most organizations, without careful planning the hype of a cloud solution can quickly overcome its capabilities and pre-existing best practices can combine to create the worst possible cloud scenario -- a cloud which isn't economical to operate, and which is more cumbersome to manage than a traditional virtualization farm.
Key topics covered include:
- Successful transition of operational and management paradigm
- How the VM density of clouds change Ops
- What it means to monitor the network in a cloud environment, at hyper-dense virtualization levels
- Preventing storage costs from outpacing delivery costs

Planning a successful private cloud - CloudStack Collaboration Europe 2013Tim Mackey
So your boss just asked you to build a private cloud. Now what? Successful private clouds require a bit of planning, and your existing best practices may need to be adjusted. This deck covers some of the issues you'll face, or be aware of, as you migrate from an existing data center operation to one which is more "cloud-like". Some things may seem obvious, but there are aspects to network and storage design which impact success. This deck draws from my experience in building my first CloudStack cloud in early 2012 and has applicability to anyone seeking to deliver cloud services.
Organizations today are increasingly looking for faster and cost effective ways to develop and test products before deployment. Often, in an on-premise environment, it can be time consuming to obtain compute resources such as servers or it's usual to have multiple environments so that development and testing can take place outside the production environment. That often involves duplication of infrastructure with associated costs and ongoing maintenance effort. Together, these factors can lower your pace of innovation. An easy way to get started using Amazon Web Services is by deploying development and test workloads.
Florin Loghiade - Azure Site Recovery si Backup in Microsoft AzureAvaelgo
Nevoia de protecție a datelor și de asigurare împotriva “dezastrelor” nu este un concept nou în ziua de azi. Când vorbim de siguranța datelor, nu contează că vorbim de firme mici, medii sau enterprise-uri cu zece mii de angajati – toate au un lucru în comun, și anume că lucrează cu date și folosesc resurse IT pentru bunul mers al business-ului.
Soluțiile de backup și de disaster recovery tradiționale din ziua de azi au dezavantajul că cer în primă fază o investiție majoră pentru implementare și apoi au nevoie de resurse alocate (oameni, bani, timp) pentru menținerea și testarea lor. Când vrei să implementezi o soluție de backup într-o companie, trebuie să cumperi serverul, să instalezi și să configurezi soluția de backup și să ai grija ca tot pachetul să funcționeze tot timpul. Când vorbim insă de disaster recovery, practic trebuie să construim un datacenter nou care să mimice datacenter-ul actual și să-l ținem sincronizat și în standby pentru momentul în care un dezastru apare.
În aceasta sesiune vom discuta despre cum Recovery Services din Azure ne poate ajuta pe noi să ne construim și să implementăm planul de backup și de disaster recovery cu costuri inițiale minime și cu un cost lunar în funcție de cât folosim. Utilizând serviciile din Azure, nu mai avem nevoie să achiziționăm servere ca să facem backup, nu mai avem nevoie să construim datacentere pentru disaster recovery, respectiv nu mai avem nevoie să alocăm timp pentru a meține soluțiile actualizate.
Intended for customers who have (or will have) thousands of instances on AWS, this session is about reducing the complexity of managing costs for these large fleets so they run efficiently. Attendees will learn about common roadblocks that prevent large customers from cost optimizing, tools they can use to efficiently remove those roadblocks, and techniques to monitor their rate of cost optimization. The session will include a case study that will talk in detail about the millions of dollars saved using these techniques. Customers will learn about a range of templates they can use to quickly implement these techniques, and also partners who can help them implement these templates.

Last year in March 2020, I had presented on campus of SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Ramapuram, Chennai for their computer science students on Career Opportunities in Artificial Intelligence. This year around, they invited me again for the same topic (!) but for their MCA (Master of Computer Applications) students. Since a year has passed where the job market, the technology industry and the entire world has changed irreversibly due to the ongoing pandemic, I decided to rework the talk in entirety.
Video of the talk is at:
https://venkatarangan.com/blog/2021/04/career-opportunities-in-artificial-intelligence-during-the-pandemic/
Today in the online talk I was expecting about 40-50 students, instead I was pleasantly surprised to see over 150 students attending the Zoom call. The topic was the same, “Career Opportunities in AI”. I covered the different job roles that are in general available in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning & Data technologies. Various industries which are employing AI – the list is of course expanding fast – I quoted some lesser-known verticals where phenomenal growth is happening. Added some real-world examples from Monster, Indeed and others. Finally, I shared few tips on how the students can prepare themselves on campus and off campus to land good jobs.
I really enjoyed delivering a session on “Democratize development with Power Apps & AI Builder” for the #m365virtualmarathon conference on the Boston Marathon Track. I get so excited talking about the endless possibilities of #LowCode #NoCode Platforms like the Microsoft #PowerApps to empower businesses around the world.
Celebrating the 90th Birth anniversary of former President of India, Bharat Ratna Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, the international foundation in his name had organized a virtual event. The topic was “New Skills for the 21st Century Students”, a relevant one for the times. The organizers invited me to deliver a brief address on the topic to the students from around the country who will be participating live and watching the recording in YouTube. It was a honour for me to share the virtual stage with Dr Y S Rajan, Padma Shri awardee, former Distinguished Professor at ISRO and a friend of Dr Kalam.
In my talk, I covered on what I call M.A.P. (Make Anything Possible) and four broad skill groups that are required to succeed in this century:
Learn->Unlearn->Learn,
Be Truly Global,
Each of us must think & behave like a start-up,
Every one of us should be a software programmer.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Pay for what you use as you go
Automation is key to reducing costs

9. What Is Windows Azure?
It is an operating system for the cloud
It is designed for utility computing
It provides facilities to:
Write your apps (developer experience)
Host your apps (compute)
Manage your apps (service management)
Store your data (storage)
15. You tell the Fabric Controller what to
do, and it figures out how to do it.
16. For this to work, you need to tell us
about your application.
17. Defining Your Service
What are the components (roles)?
How do they interact?
At what scale?

21. Our Approach to Azure Services
Simple scenarios are simple – complex scenarios are possible
Services hosted in Microsoft’s data centers
Designed for high availability & scalability
Multiple protocol support including HTTP, REST, SOAP, AtomPub
Broad investment in open, community-based access to Azure services
Familiar tools, languages, and frameworks with .NET and Visual Studio
Provides the choice to build on-premises, cloud, or hybrid solutions
Integrate with existing assets such as AD and premises applications
24. Native Code & FastCGI
Run unmanaged code in your Azure hosted
applications
No longer limits development to .NET languages
Roles can
Select between partial trust or full trust
Call native library with P/Invoke
Spawn a sub-process
Setting in cloud projects .csdef file
A web role can now use IIS FastCGI module
26. Architecting apps for Azure
Remember that Azure manages Services not
servers
How do you deal with varying loads?
How do you deal with failures?

Vertical axis is our classic build vs. buyHorizontal axis is new – on premise vs Cloud An application that I develop and run myselfAn application that I develop myself, but run at a hosterAn application that I develop myself, but run in the cloud (EC2 , AppEngine, Azure)An application that I buy “off the shelf” and run myselfAn application that I buy “off the shelf” and then run at a hosterA hosted application that I buy from a vendor ( Sales Force.com, CRM Live, SharePoint Online) If we have time left at the end, remind me to discuss an example of how an enterprise may look to leverage some of these options.

Slide objectives: Define the Microsoft Services Platform in a clear and repeatable way. Speaking Points: [Build-out the slide starting at the bottom]So what is Microsoft providing for the cloud?Applications provided as servicesMicrosoft has had a number applications that we’ve exposed to both user’s and organizations. For instance, today we have applications like Windows Live and Office Live that are operated as services.Within the last year we have also launched new online service versions of key products. This includes Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and Dynamics CRM Online.These online applications provided as services enable IT organizations to rapidly use service-based versions of Microsoft products, without installing, configuring, and managing these products themselves.As part of providing SharePoint, for example, as a service, the SharePoint team had to think about a lot of issues such as:Scalability, redundancy, and availabilityProvisioning and billingAccess Control and federation of identities with existing on-premises systemsExtensibility – how do you let organizations customize and change an application running in a scalable, multi-tenant environment. We believe that these are common issues that we can address with a Cloud Platform.This is where the Azure Services Platform comes in. The Azure Services Platform is acomprehensive hosted platform for your applications & services. It enables a wide range of scenarios ranging from running your application code in Microsoft’s data centers to consuming programmable, web-based services from your applications.We are effectively building a comprehensive and coherent platform for the cloud, just as Windows & the .NET Framework provides a comprehensive and coherent platform for managed code.We are building a comprehensive services platform to help organizations take advantage of cloud computing and services.The Azure Services Platform consists of two layers of services:Windows AzureAt the base layer we have Windows Azure. Windows Azure provides the core data center and infrastructure as well as compute, basic storage, and management services. Effectively, Windows Azure allows you to run your code in Microsoft’s data center.Developer ServicesThe Azure Services Platform also provides a set of higher-level developer services including SQL Services, .NET Services, and Live Services.These higher-level services are programmable components, often exposed through standard SOAP or open REST-based endpoints, which can be consumed from within your applications. Your application can be running in Windows Azure and take advantage of these services or run on-premises or with a hosting provider.These services can also be mixed and matched to compose applications. In fact, you can selectively choose to just use certain services such as the .NET Services independent from the rest of the Azure Services Platform. Some of the services are designed more for business application scenarios and others are designed more for personal or consumer-centric scenarios. However, these services collectively will work together.These developer services include three primary categories:SQL Services – which are designed to provide the capabilities of SQL Server in the cloud.NET Services – which extend the key capabilities of the .NET Framework to provide flexible business connectivity, orchestration of services, and federated access control for your appsLive Services – which are designed to manage a user’s data and provide new user-centric capabilities to applications. SharePoint Services:Dynamics CRM and SharePoint are two of our most capable and most extensible platforms for business content, collaboration, and rapid solutions.The SharePoint Services and Dynamics CRM services you see on this diagram represent future services we will add to the Azure Services Platform. We will drill into Windows Azure, SQL Services, .NET Services, and Live Services later in this presentation. Notes:
