Chef is an open source configuration management tool that allows automation of infrastructure through code. It uses a "client-server" model where Chef clients on nodes connect to a Chef server to check their configuration state and apply any changes needed to ensure they match their defined state. Chef models infrastructure as "nodes" that can be configured through reusable "roles" and "recipes" made up of declarative "resources" that define what state a node or its components should be in. This allows automated deployment and management of servers through an infrastructure-as-code approach.

Linux Server Hardening - Steps by StepsSunil Paudel
Linux Server Hardening
This document has the step by step of the way of hardening the server. We have used the metasploitable server, the vulnerable ubuntu server designed to be hacked, and have done the hardening. We have stopped all the unnecessary services and ports. We have assumed the server to be the web server only. Hence, only port 80 and 443 will be opened. Then the firewall rules have been set following by the apache web server hardening, encryption of the folder and files, disabling the unwanted users, forcing the password policies.
Modern Web App Development using ClojureScript & React.js / Baishampayan “BG”...Ontico
Today’s browsers are some of the most capable platforms around, and yet our tools are still painfully primitive. JavaScript engines are powerful, yet the language leaves a lot to be desired. Being forced to use JavaScript on the browser also fragments our code-base where we have to duplicate business logic on the server-side.
Enter ClojureScript & React.js.
ClojureScript allows us to harness the power of functional programming on the browser while reusing server-side code as much as possible. Combining that with React.js we get a powerful tool-belt for building interactive webapps.
In this talk I shall illustrate the problems around frontend development and will demonstrate how to combine the power of Clojure with the abstractions provided by React.js to develop fast single-page webapps.
This is the presentation I did at Apache Asia Roadshow 2009 held at Colombo, Sri Lanka. My talk was titled "Introduction to Apache Synapse". In this presentation, I attempt to address areas like enterprise integration problems, ESB pattern, Synapse architecture, features and the configuration model.
A look at the technologies and the architecture behind the emerging real-time web. We will discuss XMPP/Jabber and AMQP protocols and explore the advantages of each over the commonly used HTTP request-response cycle. As part of the workshop we will look at the available tools and libraries and work through simple examples of creating an event driven, real-time service.
Are We Done Yet ? Testing Your OpenStack DeploymentKen Pepple
After constructing your OpenStack cloud, it can be difficult to determine whether you've actually configured all the components correctly. OpenStack Rally and Tempest have been created to help run verification and benchmarking tests for you, but they themselves are difficult to configure and use. This session will explore creating an easy and repeatable process verification and benchmarking process for your OpenStack cloud. Drawing on experience from numerous customer installations, it will delve into the benefits and pitfalls of using specific tools and technologies to achieve your testing goals.
This presentation was given at the 2014 Fall OpenStack Summit. A recording of the presentation is available at https://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-paris-summit-2014/session-videos/presentation/are-we-done-yet-testing-openstack-deployments .

A look back at three years of OpenStack architecture as well as a view of the next version. Presented at OpenStack Korea in Seoul, South Korea on July 18th, 2013.
OpenStack is an open source cloud project and community with broad commercial and developer support. OpenStack is currently developing two interrelated technologies: OpenStack Compute and OpenStack Object Storage. OpenStack Compute is the internal fabric of the cloud creating and managing large groups of virtual private servers and OpenStack Object Storage is software for creating redundant, scalable object storage using clusters of commodity servers to store terabytes or even petabytes of data. In this tutorial, Bret Piatt will explain how to deploy OpenStack Compute and Object Storage, including an overview of the architecture and technology requirements.
Cisco: Cassandra adoption on Cisco UCS & OpenStackDataStax Academy
n this talk we will address how we developed our Cassandra environments utilizing Cisco UCS Open Stack Platform with the DataStax Enterprise Edition software. In addition we are utilizing OpenSource CEPH storage in our Infrastructure to optimize the Performance and reduce the costs.
The secret is out – Drupal has become the ‘go-to’ open source software for the publication and management of website content. By pairing Drupal with cloud technologies there is a whole new world of user benefits well beyond scale and performance.
In this session, Bret Piatt, director, technical alliances at Rackspace Hosting will discuss how to best take advantage of cloud technologies with Drupal sites. The panel presentation will address:
• Leveraging the cloud ecosystem for managing configuration, code, and backups
• How to scale Drupal clusters by integrating with cloud APIs
• Enhancing site scale and performance by taking advantage of cloud file storage/CDN
• Cloud/Drupal success stories such as Chapter Three’s ( http://www.chapterthree.com ) on Mercury, a Drupal PaaS built on The Rackspace Cloud’s Cloud Servers
The Information Technology have led us into an era where the production, sharing and use of information are now part of everyday life and of which we are often unaware actors almost: it is now almost inevitable not leave a digital trail of many of the actions we do every day; for example, by digital content such as photos, videos, blog posts and everything that revolves around the social networks (Facebook and Twitter in particular). Added to this is that with the "internet of things", we see an increase in devices such as watches, bracelets, thermostats and many other items that are able to connect to the network and therefore generate large data streams. This explosion of data justifies the birth, in the world of the term Big Data: it indicates the data produced in large quantities, with remarkable speed and in different formats, which requires processing technologies and resources that go far beyond the conventional systems management and storage of data. It is immediately clear that, 1) models of data storage based on the relational model, and 2) processing systems based on stored procedures and computations on grids are not applicable in these contexts. As regards the point 1, the RDBMS, widely used for a great variety of applications, have some problems when the amount of data grows beyond certain limits. The scalability and cost of implementation are only a part of the disadvantages: very often, in fact, when there is opposite to the management of big data, also the variability, or the lack of a fixed structure, represents a significant problem. This has given a boost to the development of the NoSQL database. The website NoSQL Databases defines NoSQL databases such as "Next Generation Databases mostly addressing some of the points: being non-relational, distributed, open source and horizontally scalable." These databases are: distributed, open source, scalable horizontally, without a predetermined pattern (key-value, column-oriented, document-based and graph-based), easily replicable, devoid of the ACID and can handle large amounts of data. These databases are integrated or integrated with processing tools based on the MapReduce paradigm proposed by Google in 2009. MapReduce with the open source Hadoop framework represent the new model for distributed processing of large amounts of data that goes to supplant techniques based on stored procedures and computational grids (step 2). The relational model taught courses in basic database design, has many limitations compared to the demands posed by new applications based on Big Data and NoSQL databases that use to store data and MapReduce to process large amounts of data.

Peanut Butter and jelly: Mapping the deep Integration between Ceph and OpenStackSean Cohen
Ceph is the most widely deployed storage technology used with OpenStack, most often because it's an open source, massively scalable, unified software-defined storage solution. Its popularity is also due to its unique and optimized technical integration with the OpenStack services and its pure-software approach to scaling. In this session, we'll review how Ceph is integrated into Nova, Glance, Keystone, Cinder, and Manila and demonstrate why using traditional storage products won’t give you the full benefits of an elastic cloud infrastructure. We’ll also cover the flexible deployment options, available through Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform and Red Hat Ceph Storage, for seamless operations and key scenarios like disaster recovery. We'll discuss architectural options for deploying a multisite OpenStack cluster and cover the varying levels of maturity in the OpenStack services for configuring multisite. This session will also show how other technologies are using OpenStack Ceph to increase performance and reduce power consumption, such as Intel SSDs. This will include reference architectures and best practices for Ceph and SSDs.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...James Anderson
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).

10. User Manager
Cloud Controller: Global state of
system, talks to LDAP, OpenStack
Object Storage, and node/storage
workers through a queue
ATAoE / iSCSI
API: Receives HTTP requests,
converts commands to/from API
format, and sends requests to cloud
controller
Host Machines: workers
that spawn instances
Glance: HTTP + OpenStack Object
OpenStack Compute Storage for server images
