Monitoring Cloud Native Apps on Pivotal Cloud Foundry with AppDynamicsNima Badiey
Pivotal is working with AppDynamics on integrating AppDynamics application performance monitoring (APM) with Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF). This will allow PCF customers to use AppDynamics to monitor applications running on PCF. Pivotal is interested in feedback from AppDynamics customers to ensure the solution meets their needs. The integration involves installing an AppDynamics tile on PCF that sets up an AppDynamics service broker and machine agent. The service broker allows applications to easily bind to the AppDynamics service, and the machine agent monitors the PCF infrastructure. Once integrated, developers can push applications to PCF and have them automatically instrumented by AppDynamics.

Declarative Infrastructure with Cloud Foundry BOSHcornelia davis
Initially built to deploy and manage the Cloud Foundry “Elastic Runtime”, the platform that allows application developers and operators to easily deploy and manage applications and services through the entire app lifecycle (including production!), Cloud Foundry BOSH is a system that manages any virtual machine clusters of arbitrarily complex, distributed systems. You define your release through packages (what gets installed on the VMs), jobs (what is run on the VMs) and a deployment manifest (declaration of the cluster) and BOSH will first deploy and then continue to maintain your cluster to match that desired state. The result is a self-healing, eventually consistent system that markedly reduces the operational burdens and supports a great number of other Devops functions such as canary, zero-downtime upgrades, autoscaling, built in high availability and more. In this session we’ll show you how to create, deploy and manage a BOSH release, and we’ll watch what BOSH does when bad things happen.

C219 - Docker and PureApplication Patterns: Better TogetherHendrik van Run
Interest in deploying software using Docker containers has been growing very quickly. Clients are hearing all the "buzz" around Docker and beginning to investigate how they can take advantage of this new technology. In the latest v2.1 release of IBM PureApplication, support has been added that allows clients to easily create patterns that deploy Docker containers as software components using the pattern editor. Now clients can build upon the skills they already have with patterns and easily add Docker containers. Because the new support for Docker is integrated with the existing patterns, the new technology can be added incrementally at a pace that makes sense for the customer's business. There is no need to "start all over again" in order to exploit Docker.
PAD-3126 - Evolving the DevOps Organization around IBM PureApplication System...Hendrik van Run

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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.

MKS Console Access
Mouse Keyboard Screen VMWare Console access to Virtual Machines
Only applicable to Intel based systems (i.e. not W2500/W2700 POWER models)
Requires browser plugin from VMWare to be installed
Special IP Group called “MKS Console IP Group” needs to be defined
Specific ports might need to be
opened up in the firewall!
Could save the day when a Virtual
Machine is no longer accessible over
the network
Plan ahead and set this up
beforehand

Gradual adoption
Traditional server topology
migrated “as-is” on PureApp
IT view: Just another HW
platform
One app moved to PureApp
Network admin insisted on
registering MAC addresses of
VMs

Old Roles, New Responsibilities
Roles are morphing &
responsibilities are increasing
True of IT departments and
SO
2 and 3-week SLAs are
shortened to 4 hours
Behooves IT staff to share
knowledge & power
Developer community more
empowered & more
accountable

Process changes
Customers want Monitoring, metering,
chargeback
“All you can eat” has given way to
“pay for what you use”
Reports of who is doing what,
consuming how much & when
