SaaSification in Action. Attracting Software Vendors with Easy TransformationJelastic Multi-Cloud PaaS
Software vendors got to the point that as-a-service is not just hype but new opportunities for their businesses. That’s why currently we increasingly frequently hear about launching Anything-as-a-Service (XaaS). The transition is in active phase but many ISVs are struggling with technical blockers or lack of expertise on their way to the desired outcome. In this presentation, you'll find out how cloud hosting service providers can ease the transformation for software vendors, thus attracting ISVs as potential clients, building value in own services, and ultimately customer retention.
After selecting AWS as your organization’s cloud provider, users will generally have the question, “how do I move my existing web and mobile apps?” THis slide deck is from our webinar where our AWS course director and master instructor Rich Morrow discusses best practices and techniques, the core AWS services to use and performs a live demo of migrating an existing site.
Using AWS best practices and concepts he covers in the "Migrating to AWS" course, in this hands-on interactive webinar, we'll explored:
The value of migrating to AWS
The phases of migration: Discovery, Planning, Migration, Validation and Optimization

Cloud Expo East 2013: Essential Open Source Software for Building the Open CloudMark Hinkle
Cloud computing is more than a buzz-phrase it’s a transformative IT paradigm shift. The emphasis in the cloud is on elasticity, scalability, agility and open. Not just open standards but open APIs and open source. The delivery of software is also going through a paradigm shift. Open source software was often a commoditization of a market leader; Unix to Linux or Oracle to MySQL what’s changing is that the iterative nature, user context and the motto of releasing early and often are driving real innovation in open source.
This session will cover those essential open source technologies for delivering cloud computing in the enterprise.

Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit: Hitchhiker's Guide to the CloudMark Hinkle
Imagine it's eight o'clock on a Thursday morning and you awake to see a bulldozer out your window ready to plow over your data center. Normally you may wish to consult the Encyclopedia Galáctica to discern the best course of action but your copy is likely out of date. And while the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (HHGTTG) is a wholly remarkable book it doesn't cover the nuances of cloud computing. That's why you need the Hitchhiker's Guide to Cloud Computing (HHGTCC) or at least to attend this talk understand the state of open source cloud computing. Specifically this talk will cover infrastructure-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service and developments in big data and how to more effectively take advantage of these technologies using open source software. Technologies that will be covered in this talk include Apache CloudStack, Chef, CloudFoundry, NoSQL, OpenStack, Puppet and many more.

Searching The Cloud - The eclipseRT UmbrellaMarkus Knauer
The emerging Cloud infrastructures offer new ways to develop dynamic services. Eclipse can contribute to these new services today by combining results from various projects. This talk will demonstrate how to set up a simple search application in the Cloud with the help of the following eclipseRT and Eclipse Technology projects:
* g-Eclipse will be used to manage and configure the virtual Cloud resources based on its general Cloud model.
* p2 will be used to deploy the search application.
* SMILA (SeMantic Information Logistics Architecture) is an extensible framework for building search applications for data like office documents, emails, images, audio & video files, blogs etc. One of the features of SMILA is the parallelization of processes/workflows, so the natural deployment environment of SMILA is similar to the distributed environment of the Cloud.
* RAP will be used to create a simple search-UI for the application.
This talk demonstrates existing goodies from Eclipse projects which can help to build Cloud applications independent from underlying infrastructures. It will show the potential power of Eclipse technology on the Cloud.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"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.

Resource manager with configurable service layer
• Pull away from low-level application service management
• Leverage containers to supply services
• Allow runtime service and configuration changes
• Run on any infrastructure, including high-level services, such as
ECS, or Docker API
Goal: Launch a (template-based) CloudMan platform and add
application services as desired from Dockerhub or similar while
resource provisioning is automatically handled.
16. Galaxy ObjectStore (future)
Allow uniform any-Galaxy computing (i.e., make Galaxy instances
interchangeable and disposable)
• Galaxy implements an ObjectStore interface as an abstraction to
data
• Leverage it to expand user data storage and allow any Galaxy
to connect to a user’s bucket
• Use ObjectStore for reference data (simplify builds)
• Still will need to deal with the database dependency
18. Building your own cloud?
Make it easy
For end-users to register and get onboard (very simple auth)
For deployers to interface with the cloud (adopt ‘standards’)
Develop capacity and usage plans
Go for monthly-reset, merit-based Allocation Units (AUs)
Design for flexibility
Users need more storage? Different instance types?
Create champion teams
Bring them onboard early to deploy target apps; give them $$$
