- The document discusses best practices for cloud data integration, including how to integrate systems at the speed of business needs, avoid data chaos, and leverage APIs while maintaining control over data.
- Key challenges discussed include the infrastructure complexity of cloud integration, designing for failure and scaling at huge volumes, and navigating changing API models and access restrictions from cloud vendors.
- The presentation provides recommendations to generify architectures as new APIs are added, build fault tolerance and throttling into designs, and securely authenticate while being a good partner to API providers.
Agile integration at its heart aims to bring cloud native practices to the integration space. This session will discuss IBM's perspective on what cloud native really means, and then we will explore the many ways that applies to integration. We'll provide insight into how this has affected the IBM integration portfolio roadmap, and discuss examples of recent enhancements to our products.

Session Title: Value of DevOps - Journey from Automation to NoOps, are we keeping up the pace?
SESSION OVERVIEW
DevOps has been one of the game changers to accelerate Collaboration and Automation to drive Speed to Market (Development priorities) and Availability/ Stability/ Performance etc. (IT Operations priorities) for last 8+ yrs. Fast forwarding, Gartner's 2018 Hype Cycle for Performance Analysis named DevOps and AIOps as two areas that have gained the most momentum in the industry .In essence , AIOPS has helped in shaping DevOp smarter and intelligent i.e. DevOps Systems that Do -> Think -> Learn.
Engineering maturity of FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google) companies are already in the journey of NoOps - the point where an IT environment becomes so automated that a dedicated team isn't even needed for managing tasks anymore.
For engineering teams to nurture the belief that "machines should solve known problems and engineers must focus on solving new problems," which essentially means saying NO to manual IT operations.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
1. Everything As Code
2. Platform as Service
3. Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)
4. Software Engineering Culture.
As application development becomes more agile, and the ability to rapidly create and iterate new innovations escalates, so too does the need to be able to rapidly scale up the solutions that become successful. Equally it is common to create solutions with relatively short life-cycles and so we need to be able to scale down to recover resources too. On a more fine grained level, to make efficient use of shared platforms such as Kubernetes, we need to be able to dynamically scale applications up and down based on fine grained demand. Inevitably all these challenges are just as important for the integration between applications. This session explores what scalability means for the key areas of integration technology - application integration, API management and messaging.

Continuously Design your Continuous DeploymentMichael Elder
Whether your applications are cloud-native, cloud-ready, or just evolving towards cloud-based deployment, you can capture the complete stack as an OpenStack Heat template. In this session, we’ll present a web-based editing experience that enables you to capture each aspect of your architecture in a ready-to-deploy and easy-to-update design based on HOT. We'll show you those Heat templates in either a rich diagram editor or a simple but powerful text editor -- all in your web browser!
Advanced features like autoscaling, load balancing, deployment ordering, and object storage will all be captured as part of your application design — right along side the critical software that defines the business behavior of your workload.
And it’s not just about the first time you deploy, it’s about deploying every time thereafter. We’ll show you how you can manage your software deployment pipeline as part of your Heat templates.
Maybe you’re not sure what cloud to deploy to? Interested in OpenStack, but already have investments in other clouds? We’ll also demonstrate how we’ve extended the Heat language to design cloud-portable templates.
So come on this journey with us, where we’ll leverage the cloud to help you build better software for your end users.
- Define full stack application workloads using OpenStack HOT
- Deploy and update infrastructure and application changes as part of your release pipeline
- Design templates with autoscaling, load balancing, deployment ordering, and object storage as part of your application architecture
The evolving story for Agile Integration Architecture in 2019Kim Clark
Agile integration architecture (AIA) has moved well beyond its roots around decentralization of the ESB into a more containerized and cloud native approach to integration. We're now exploring how integration modernization affects API management, messaging, events, file movement, and how all this dovetails with the iPaaS and more.
This was from the IBM Interconnect Conference in 2017 - it contains best practices and recommendations for things to think about when migrating to microservices
Implementing zero trust in IBM Cloud Pak for IntegrationKim Clark
Architecting for cloud native requires a completely different perspective on security. The attack surface, and the potential attack vectors have completely changed. Most of the past assumptions around people, processes, infrastructure and more are no longer valid. You have to assume any vulnerability will be exploited, and trust no-one - whether external or internal. You have to look at threat modelling to inform and prioritize the approach, and implement security based on defense in depth. This deck and webinar explore what steps we have taken to implement a "Zero Trust" model when we re-architected the integration portfolio to create what is now Cloud Pak for Integration, and how customers can build upon these in their own integration solutions.
Turning up the HEAT with IBM MobileFirst for iOS AppsMichael Elder
The landmark partnership between Apple and IBM announced last year set the internet abuzz. The partnership aims to spark true mobile-led business change across the
enterprise. In this talk, we’ll show you how IBM is using OpenStack, Heat, and DevOps to
deploy a truly monumental undertaking.
To fulfill this goal, we needed to redefine how we deliver our software. Leveraging IBM’s unique expertise in OpenStack and DevOps, we turned the “art of the possible” into our new “reality”. In this talk, we’ll tell the story of how we used fullstack application patterns based on OpenStack Heat to provision environments with speed and reliability. You will hear directly from the joint development team how these patterns enabled us to collaborate unimpeded by the traditional road blocks of IT development. As it turns out, our goal to “spark true business change” has
extended beyond our customers to include IBM itself.
You will not only hear about the technical solution but see it in action with a demo in the session.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Cloud Data Integration
1. Backupify.com Board Meeting December 2010 Rob May (@robmay) CEO, Backupify rob@backupify.com http://bit.ly/clouddataintegration Confidential Agile Cloud Integration 1
2. What You Will Learn How to integrate at the speed of business How to avoid data chaos Best practices for cloud integration 2
3. About Backupify Backup, Search, Restore SaaS data Founded in 2008 165,000 customers 150TB of data Integrated with 18 services One of the largest users of Cassandra 3
5. 5 “ Yes, I clicked the delete button. Yes, I regret it now. Yes, I belatedly realized why the Backupify service makes sense. ” Backup For Cloud AppsDavid F. Carr November 2010
7. Back In The Day (On Premise) Few applications had good APIs but… Integration was relatively easy Full control of access, security & storage Independent access to all data in DBMSs & FS DBMS & FS triggers could kick off integration 7
8. Back In The Day (On Premise) Pros Many good integration products with mature application connectors Ability to govern software updates across systems You had more control Could always go straight at the data Cons Too many plumbing options (CORBA, DCOM, RMI, SOAP, MQ, …) Few apps had good APIs Version management problems 8
9. Moving To SaaS Means You have all the APIs you’ll ever need Everything is really simple 9
10. Benefits of Moving To SaaS Lower costs Information accessible anywhere Productive users Fewer maintenance headaches 10
11. Cons of Moving To SaaS Loss of access Service outages & data loss Data is isolated The API is what it is Loss of control Forced app/API upgrades Hacked accounts Privacy risk 11
12. The Problem With APIs Design issues Vendors design for the expected use cases Customers always push the boundaries Hard to build consistent copy of data model Implementation may not follow spec Access limitations API Throttling Query result set size limitations Historical query limitations 12
13. The Solution: Cloud Data Integration The best of both worlds Use SaaS as much as you want Use SaaS APIs whenever you can Have full control & independent access to your SaaS & on-premise data in the cloud Rules, triggers & integration logic run right next to the data in the cloud 13
14. The Problem With Cloud Integration Cloud integration == Connectors 2.0 14
15. This is Really Hard Massive infrastructure challenges Backupify has accidently become one of the foremost experts on Cassandra It is easy to screw up E.g., lock users out of their Gmail accounts Some things are impossible How do you Twitter in regulated industries? 15
16. The Hard Problems are Worth Solving Cloud Data Integration is agile integration Best of both worlds Best way to respond to new business needs Best way to protect against vendor change The SaaS vendors will help Front vs. backdoor SaaS APIs Cloud Data Intermediaries, e.g., GNIP 16
18. The Hard Skills API knowledge & know-how Extreme & continuous testing automation Efficient cloud operations at huge scale Design for failure Avoid data chaos 18
20. Best Practices Implement, then generify Play nice with partners Expect to throttle Authenticate securely Plan for data model/access changes CONFIDENTIAL 20
21. Moving At The Speed of Business Generify you architecture as you incorporate more APIs Build for fault tolerance Use Oauth or similar authentication options when possible CONFIDENTIAL 21
22. Avoid Data Chaos Build throttling into your model – you will eventually need it. Plan for a time when the API data model will allow more or less access to data Play nice with partners, but be vocal – they don’t always get it right. CONFIDENTIAL 22
23. What Else Can You Do with Your Data? 23 Backup Search Migrate Restore Integrate Cloud Data Integration
