No two clouds are the same. Yet the leading clouds all have one thing in common: they deliver on metrics, which matter to the customer. In this session we'll dissect leading clouds, to show why low latency is the thing that makes a cloud stand out.
Solving some of the scalability problems at booking.comIvan Kruglov
Booking.com uses Sereal in many applications. One of the biggest use case though is the events pipeline. It was built to delivery messages (events) from generation point to various processors in near real-time fashion. These days it servers billions of messages per day.
One of our processors recently faced scalability issues due to growth of the volume of delivered events.
In this talk I would like to share what problem we had, how we addressed it and which new features of Sereal helped us.

Существует множество архитектур и способов масштабирования систем. Сегодня многие компании мигрируют в облачные сервисы или используют контейнеры. Но действительно ли это так необходимо и нужно ли следовать трендам?
В данном докладе мне бы хотелось рассказать об архитектуре, которую я спланировал и внедрил в компании InnoGames. Архитектура, не требующая вмешательства администратора в случае лавинообразного увеличения нагрузки и, что ещё более важно, умеющая редуцироваться в случае отсутствия её для экономии затрат.

Testing applications with traffic control in containers / Alban Crequy (Kinvolk)Ontico
Testing applications is important, as shows the rise of continuous integration and automated testing. In this talk, I will focus on one area of testing that is difficult to automate: poor network connectivity. Developers usually work within reliable networking conditions so they might not notice issues that arise in other networking conditions. I will give examples of software that would benefit from test scenarios with varying connectivity. I will explain how traffic control on Linux can help to simulate various network connectivity. Finally, I will run a demo showing how an application running in Kubernetes behaves when changing network parameters.

It ain't just a whim - to be able to continue innovating, we’ve moved our good old static production to containers. We needed to be elastic, fast, reliable and production ready at any time - that's why we chose Docker. But like in most enterprises, lots of our apps run on the JVM and most JVMs’ ergonomics assume they “own” the server they are running on. So how do you containerize JVM apps? Should you really increase JVM heap if you have spare memory? What about OS caches? What are the differences between JDK 8, 9 and 10 when it comes to container awareness? Outages because of out of memory errors? Slowness because of long garbage collection and poor environment visibility? Long story short, in this session, we’ll look at the gotchas of running JVM apps in containers and teach you how to avoid costly mistakes.
Top 3 things attendees will learn:
1. Key differences between various JVM versions relevant for containerized Java apps.
2. Best practices for running JVM in containers.
3. Avoiding common pitfalls when running containerized JVM applications.
In this workshop, we’ll reveal how improving your caching strategy speeds up page loads with little effort. We’ll follow an HTTP request through Fastly and deep dive into cache hit ratios.

We’ll cover caching headers, invalidation and the effect on user-perceived loading experience.
AWS re:Invent 2014 talk: Scheduling using Apache Mesos in the CloudSharma Podila
How can you reliably schedule tasks in an unreliable, autoscaling Cloud environment? In this presentation, we'll talk about the design of our scheduler built on top of Apache Mesos that serves as the core of our stream-processing platform, Mantis, designed for real-time insights. We'll focus on the following aspects of the scheduler:
- Coarse-grained vs. fine-grained resource scheduling - Fault tolerance via a combination of task reconciliation and life cycle event processing - Scheduling optimizations for bin packing, for stream locality to reduce network bandwidth usage, for task placement to achieve auto scaling of the cluster size, etc.
This talk will also include detailed information about approaches to scheduling in a distributed, auto-scaling, environment.
Kat, one of the core developers on the npm CLI, will give an overview of the current state of the CLI, the ongoing work this year, and give a few hints about what you can expect to see in the (near?) future!
Extreme HTTP Performance Tuning: 1.2M API req/s on a 4 vCPU EC2 InstanceScyllaDB
In this talk I will walk you through the performance tuning steps that I took to serve 1.2M JSON requests per second from a 4 vCPU c5 instance, using a simple API server written in C.
At the start of the journey the server is capable of a very respectable 224k req/s with the default configuration. Along the way I made extensive use of tools like FlameGraph and bpftrace to measure, analyze, and optimize the entire stack, from the application framework, to the network driver, all the way down to the kernel.
I began this wild adventure without any prior low-level performance optimization experience; but once I started going down the performance tuning rabbit-hole, there was no turning back. Fueled by my curiosity, willingness to learn, and relentless persistence, I was able to boost performance by over 400% and reduce p99 latency by almost 80%.

KVM and docker LXC Benchmarking with OpenStackBoden Russell
Passive benchmarking with docker LXC and KVM using OpenStack hosted in SoftLayer. These results provide initial incite as to why LXC as a technology choice offers benefits over traditional VMs and seek to provide answers as to the typical initial LXC question -- "why would I consider Linux Containers over VMs" from a performance perspective.
Results here provide insight as to:
- Cloudy ops times (start, stop, reboot) using OpenStack.
- Guest micro benchmark performance (I/O, network, memory, CPU).
- Guest micro benchmark performance of MySQL; OLTP read, read / write complex and indexed insertion.
- Compute node resource consumption; VM / Container density factors.
- Lessons learned during benchmarking.
The tests here were performed using OpenStack Rally to drive the OpenStack cloudy tests and various other linux tools to test the guest performance on a "micro level". The nova docker virt driver was used in the Cloud scenario to realize VMs as docker LXC containers and compared to the nova virt driver for libvirt KVM.
Please read the disclaimers in the presentation as this is only intended to be the "chip of the ice burg".

Speedment SQL Reflector is a software solution that allows applications to get automatically updated data in real time. The SQL Reflector loads data from your existing SQL database and feeds it into an in-memory data grid e.g. GridGain. When started, the SQL reflector will load your selected existing relational data into your map cluster. Also, any subsequent changes that are made to the relational database (regardless how, via your application, script, SQL commands or even stored procedures) are then continuously fed to your GridGain nodes. Even SQL-transactions are preserved so that your maps will always reflect a valid state of the underlying SQL database.

The CloudStack Collaboration Conference 2023 took place on 23-24th November. The conference, arranged by a group of volunteers from the Apache CloudStack Community, took place in the voco hotel, in Porte de Clichy, Paris. It hosted over 350 attendees, with 47 speakers holding technical talks, user stories, new features and integrations presentations and more.
In cloud computing environments, VMs require fast access to resources like storage and networking. The hardware that the VMs access is implemented in software and/or by passing through a dedicated hardware device. Software-based solutions consume extra CPU cycles, thus resulting in poor performance. Also, these require to expose a device-model to the guest, thus increasing the attack surface. Conversely, hardware passthrough provides better performance and security but can be expensive in terms of the number of physical resources, since each device is dedicated to a single VM. This talk focuses on how Vates is working on sharing hardware resources among VMs by relying on dedicated processors named Data Processing Units (DPU). More precisely, Vates work on offloading Xen hypervisor of storage emulation by relying on Kalray K200 DPU PCIe controllers, a hardware accelerator based on MPPA architecture.

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.
