Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a comprehensive, evolving cloud computing platform provided by Amazon. It provides a mix of infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and packaged software as a service (SaaS) offerings.
A set of computers and computer network resources based on the standard cloud computing model, in which a service provider makes resources, such as applications and storage, available to the general public over the Internet .
Public cloud services may be free or offered on a pay-per-usage model.
Applications, storage, and other resources are made available to the general public by a service provider. There are service providers like Amazon, Microsoft or Google who own all infrastructure at their data center.
Today the telco industry is at the vortex of change due to developments such as network functions virtualization and big data analytics. By allying with IT to embrace and transcend the disruptions characterized by these developments, telecom providers stand to benefit from reduced costs and new revenue streams, and see their profits grow.

Cloud is one of that kind of digital services that is already here and materialized. Cloud services landscape is becoming more and more dense but still there is a chance for telecom players to take part in that field. Unfortunately, Communication Service Providers are late to come in and therefore it is not sufficient to put computing capacities and just sell them anymore.

If there is any trend that has created such a buzz in recent times, it has got be cloud computing. But does this mean that you should provide your software-plus-service from the cloud? Or should you tread with caution and wait for the market to stabilize? This paper attempts to provide Sanity-as-a-Service to ISV’s, Software-enabledbusinesses and Enterprises on cloud-enabling their software.
For IT recruiters, and just about everyone who has been interested in tech, cloud is not a new phenomena. However, over the past 18 months, adoption of cloud is growing quickly and is now used in some shape or form by businesses of all sizes around the world.
This issue provides an overview to the rise of cloud, highlights the most in demand IT skills and lists the fastest growing cloud companies by employee.
In this QuickView
- Fastest growing cloud companies by employees
- Most in demand skills, job roles and certifications
- Top employers of cloud professionals
- Is Big-data-as-a-service the next big growth sector?
- Top 5 uses of cloud computing for 2015
There has been no shortage of edge computing activities during 2017, in both the telco and web-scale
domains. Several Tier One communication service providers (CSPs), including AT&T, China Mobile, and
Deutsche Telecom (DT), have announced that edge computing will be a key component of their future
network strategies and expect that several new use cases will be powered by edge servers. In the cloud
domain, Amazon, Facebook, and Google are pushing further toward the edge of their own networks, creating
more points of presence throughout the world. Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods in the United States
could also be interpreted as a first attempt to obtain real estate across the U.S. market that can be used
for Amazon’s edge servers. In fact, all major web-scale companies—Amazon, Google, and Microsoft—have
announced edge computing services that are driven by IoT use cases.
Faced with depressing predictions of looming budget cuts cloud computing has come to the fore of discussions to uncover relatively short-term economies in IT functions within the public sector. But how much of the cloud story is hype? How different are cloud architectures to the web-server farms that organizations have had the means to access for well over a decade? And how realistic is it that core business systems will move out of the data centre to the cloud?

Supercharging CPaaS Growth & Margins with Identity and Authentication
Aditya Khurjekar, GM Prove Protocol
Mobile networks were designed for communication, yet commerce is driving most of the demand for mobile connectivity today
The growth segments in today’s digital economy benefit from CPaaS APIs for Identity verification, authentication, proofs & claims
Commerce-enabling CPaaS APIs rely on the intrinsic security of mobile network and devices
Deterministic (rather than probabilistic) authentication drastically reduces fraud, hence increases margins
The secure element in mobile devices has been under-utilized by carriers
FIDO standard presents a horizontal application opportunity for hardware based (deterministic) authentication
Authenticated ID verification is key to secure yet seamless digital onboarding, leading to financial inclusion & consumer protection
The needs of the new crypto-based (web3) economy can also be satisfied with smart CPaaS offerings that preserve anonymity/pseudonymity
The imminent ubiquity of eSIMs is timely to fight fraud in the increasingly sophisticated digital & crypto-enabled economy
It’s time for a purpose-built global payments network!

Time to ditch the ‘dumb-pipe’ – reinventing the core mobile network, to put developers first.
Mike Bromwich, CEO / Co-Founder Stacuity & Tim Dowling, Co-Founder Stacuity
The emergence of public cloud has revolutionized the way developers can muster and deploy virtual infrastructures, as and when required.
In contrast, mobile networks are still rigidly defined and protected by operators, who are unable or unwilling to offer such control and flexibility.
As a result, the mobile network operates as little more than a dumb-pipe (unless you have lots of patience and deep pockets).
Addressing this problem requires a different approach, not just the creation of a thin façade over legacy network elements.

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:

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.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
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!

3. Most cloud services today do not have end to end SLAs, yet customers are adopting, and failures are generally
DC (Data Center) related (e.g. software patch failure, power failure, etc.) If operator provides a VPN with an
SLA between the customers’ sites and the DC, why is an end to end SLA better than two separate SLAs
(transport and DC)? Is it just convenience? How much will a customer pay for such ‘convenience.’
4. SMB (Small Medium Business) SaaS Store is currently a focus of much attention, but compare most operators’ stores to those
of the web service providers, most operators web sites even do a poor job of selling basic communication services. Is an
operator really placed to manage the integration issues of customer data across multiple services from different providers.
Hosted Communication Services as rapidly expanding, its just another way of delivering what customers already know, but is a
cloud aggregator even within the core competence of most operators?
5. This slide captures well the challenge most enterprises face with their fragmented communications services.
6. Cisco Hosted Unified Communications Service (HUCS) is starting to gain momentum, its advantage over
other approaches is simply costs from the scale of running a multi-tenant, multi-operator cloud-based
service in a large data center. In this model the operator is really more of a reseller, will this become true for
most operators and their cloud services?
7. Example of one of the many slides where the word Revolution was used with Cloud. Given the loose definition of cloud used by
many service providers, I’ve been running my business in the cloud for over a decade (email, storage, website, collaboration,
communications). So is cloud really just a technology (automation software) that enables cheaper on-demand hosted services?
As adoption ramps up given the fast access most businesses have to the internet, such data center scale (compare to a factory)
enables additional cost savings?
8. No matter what the hype, cost remains the primary driver: sweating the existing data center asset, or taking
advantage of the 5-7 times lower cost of operations of a large public data center. However, the other 2 steps:
reliability given the many recent cloud failures and agility (term used for why an enterprise should
implement SOA and business transformation projects) are proving harder for most enterprises to swallow.
9. There are lots of national industry initiatives across the region – interesting to see if these have much impact
given the fact that scale drives cloud economics.
10. Equinix did some good slides reviewing the performance issues of using cloud services around the world. I
experience this every time I travel outside the US, for example: YouTube just works at home, but when I’m
connected in other counties, the video stops and starts and occasionally just gives up.
11. Good slide on the distances different cloud services can be provided over.
12. An architecture many operators will be familiar with. Given the importance of global scale, will
only the Global Carriers like Verizon, AT&T, Orange, and BT be competitive in the cloud
business?
13. Equinix view of a cloud exchange – more infrastructure focused than service focused.
14. Given an operator is a service provider, its challenge is Neutrality. NTTdata’s Biz Integral is an example of an
operator building a community, but I caution against using Japan as a case study that can apply to other
markets. Also NTTdata is the IT arm of NTT group, which most operators lack (i.e. a dedicated IT division,
like T-Systems for Deutsche Telekom.)
15. This slide came from Dialog in Sri Lanka, and sets out quite nicely how Cloud can be positioned as ISP 5.0, which backs up the
position that Cloud is a technology for even cheaper hosting. But also shows how operators do remain one of the natural cloud
service providers given their business history. The gap remains in IT competence to bridge the service to the enterprise. This
could be the defining metric, in that most operators win on service that have a relatively low IT competence requirement, e.g.
communications and collaboration.
16. Another great slide from Dialog in Sri Lanka, which sets out the journey many operators must take in being
competitive in Cloud services. Interestingly with many IT companies are targeting this space as well, and in
many cases have worked through this maturity model over the passed couple of decades. Operators are going
to need to learn fast, else acquire the necessary competence, like Verizon did in buying Terremark.
17. This slide from IBM highlights several important aspect of being in the cloud business – for example
Industry Solutions. Without a specific focus on a vertical, e.g. banking, and creating specific solutions and
selling though people versed in the business and technical issues of that vertical, its hard to win sales (mid-
market, through large to MNCs.) Shows IBM is in competition with the operators’ cloud aspirations.
18. Public clouds do not interoperate, that’s on purpose, as their business model is about lock-in
19. Similarly, private clouds do not interoperate as their suppliers have built businesses on not playing nice
together.
20. Vblock is the core offer of VCE (Cisco and EMC) – generally sold into an existing data center (so it lacks
scale). Many enterprises were complaining about the cost of Vblock compared to its claimed savings. Also
EMC’s automation software appears to have preference in the Vblock sales, which has resulted in the poor
sales of Cisco’s DC automation software, and hence its pull back from VCE.
21. Openstack is an interesting open source initiative. Workloads have been transferred across different cloud
implementations, so it works. See next slides for Korea Telecom’s implementation of OpenStack.
22. Korea Telecom gave an excellent presentation on heir Cloud activities. This slide explains why cloud based IT
is necessary to better respond to the competitive environment.
23. Nice review of some of the recent Cloud developments, highlighting the web service provider, and IT Solution
provider competition and their focus on scale – which drives cloud economics.
24. The main issue I have here is most telcos lack IT credibility, unless they have a dedicated IT group. So the
existing relationship is not that strong in mid-market and large enterprise. While in SMB the web service
providers appear to have found a low costs online route.
25. KT have take a very different route to most telcos – they’re not partnering with a competitor to build out their
infrastructure, rather they are using open source (see next slide) and using their computing needs to drive
scale in their data centers (eating their own dog food.)
26. Similar to a Google-like approach in using commodity off the shelf components, though Google has built its
own software, e.g. BigTable and MapReduce. KT is using an open source approach to leverage the
community effort behind the software. Then KT focuses upon scale in its national market.
27. 70% of the price of AWS, which is already very cheap, certainly attracts people’s attention and is testament to
their approach in building their own data center.
28. KT are definitely one to watch from a technology perspective, though the Korean market, like Japan, is quite
unique and such case studies are difficult to apply into other markets.
29. KT have built an solid portfolio of services and an interesting roadmap with new services coming on line
almost monthly – but how to sell into the enterprises? Perhaps local SI partnerships?
32. Summary
• Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) will grow at 40% CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) over the next 3 years in Cloud services to
$5B by 2014
• Most Operator’s role in cloud remains unclear
o Focused on the importance of end-to-end SLAs as differentiating their cloud proposition, while most enterprises today take 2 SLAs from the
cloud provider and their VPN provide
o The Cloud broker role remains unclear for telcos, as they lack store front expertise nor IT expertise (except large global telcos, e.g. NTTdata)
• The Cloud Revolution was claimed by many. But always worry when a marketing person claims a revolution!
o Core message on cloud appears to be: Cost, Reliability, Agility
o Cost remains the primary driver: sweating the existing data center asset, or taking advantage of the 5-7 times lower cost of operations of a
public data center.
o However, the other 2 steps: reliability given the many recent cloud failures and agility (term used for why an enterprise should implement SOA
and business transformation projects in the past) are proving harder for most enterprises to swallow.
• Many national cloud initiates are popping up, with unclear objectives and success measures
o Given scale is the core driver, will only global providers be successful. In telco does that mean only the global operators like Verizon Business,
AT&T Global, Orange Business Services and BT Global Services?
• IT competence matters, delivering cloud technology into an industry specific solution is the key to success as demonstrated by most
IT companies, e.g. IBM, Accenture, Oracle, etc.
• Lock-in remains the focus of both public cloud service providers and cloud technology providers
o Keep an eye on Openstack as a way to break this lock-in
• Korea Telecom gave an excellent presentation showing a different way for telco success in cloud services
o Built it themselves using Openstack
o Used commodity off the shelf hardware
o Ate their own dog food, in using the data center for their own needs to drive national scale
o Achieved a price point 70% of AWS – quite unique for a telco
o However, the issue of IT credibility remains, perhaps a channel strategy through local SIs can address that gap
