DPC 2016 - 53 Minutes or Less - Architecting For Failurebenwaine
An increasing amount of web and business applications are hosted on the cloud. It’s easy: a few clicks, api calls or a script written with your favourite IaaS provider and your application is launched and available to your consumers.
That’s the problem, it’s deceptively easy to make an application available. It’s much harder to make an application reliably available. The much touted “four nines” - 99.99% availability means your application must be consistently available for all but 53 minutes a year.
Using AWS as an example this talk covers the choices you must make when hosting an application from the network up. Choices around Regions, Availability Zones, Service Discovery, Deployment and Maintenance all have a major impact on up time.
The practice of “Chaos Engineering” made famous by Netflix is demonstrated as a way to validate the choices you’ve made and help prepare you for the worst.
This document discusses Industrial Light & Magic's move to a cloud-based workflow for visual effects production. Some key points include replacing the file system with a new publishing system and globally available graph database on Cassandra to store all project data. Their backbone uses Mesos and Docker for flexible deployment anywhere. The future of content creation may involve applications as services on Mesos with low latency. They have learned that anything is possible and the future is bright for reimagining the VFX workflow.
This document discusses how Platform LSF can help with capacity management challenges in chip design environments. It provides two case studies where LSF helped: 1) Speed up parallel simulations by utilizing idle desktop workstations, cutting simulation time from 5 days to 1 day. 2) Avoid purchasing new hardware through capacity planning that revealed sufficient resources with a memory upgrade. LSF provides reliability, management of large user bases with minimal administration, and transparency for users.
Kubernetes is an open-source tool for automating deployment, scaling, and load balancing of containerized applications. It groups containers into logical units and manages deploying applications across clusters of nodes. Kubernetes allows scaling containers up and down as needed. It provides a dashboard and commands to configure a master node and join additional nodes to the cluster. Microservices break large applications into autonomous services, each focused on a single business capability. They allow independent development, deployment, and fault isolation of services using different technologies.

Introduction to Terraform with Azure flavorGiulio Vian
Terraform is a tool for provisioning and managing infrastructure as code. It allows defining and deploying infrastructure through configuration files rather than interactive console tools. The configuration files describe the components needed for an application and their relationships, and Terraform uses this information to provision and update infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform works by defining resources such as compute instances, storage, and networking components using a high-level configuration language, and then generates and executes the plans to build, change, and version those resources. It supports a variety of cloud platforms including Azure.
The document discusses cloud computing and sample cloud deployment architectures. It provides examples of how Animoto used RightScale to automatically scale their infrastructure in response to increased traffic. It also describes strategies for database failover and high availability in the cloud, including promoting a slave database to master if the primary fails and starting replication from snapshots.

Azure Functions - Get rid of your servers, use functions!QAware GmbH
Cloud Native Night November 2016, Munich: Talk by Manuela Rink (Technical Evengelist at Microsoft).
Join our Meetup: www.meetup.com/cloud-native-muc
Abstract: Not so long ago we had our own servers in the basement for our backend systems. With the birth of various cloud providers like Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services our own iron soon was gone and we started to host our systems on virtual servers in big datacenters around the world. By doing this we cut down maintenance time and gained freedom for a (nearly) free choice of hosting worldwide. We transferred our systems on a physical level. Now we are able to take this process a step further and cut down our systems on a functional level: by hosting logic in... functions!
This talk gives a first insight und oversight of Azure Functions - how they work, what you can do with them and how your system can benefit from a „slim down your system“ idea like this.
AWS re:Invent presentation: Unmeltable Infrastructure at Scale by Loggly SolarWinds Loggly
This document summarizes Loggly's transition from their first generation log management infrastructure to their second generation infrastructure built on Apache Kafka, Twitter Storm, and ElasticSearch on AWS. The first generation faced challenges around tightly coupling event ingestion and indexing. The new system uses Kafka as a persistent queue, Storm for real-time event processing, and ElasticSearch for search and storage. This architecture leverages AWS services like auto-scaling and provisioned IOPS for high availability and scale. The new system provides improved elasticity, multi-tenancy, and a pre-production staging environment.

The Next Frontier in Open Source Java Compilers: Just-In-Time Compilation as a Service
For Java developers, the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler is key to improved performance. However, in a container world, the performance gains are often negated due to CPU and memory consumption constraints. To help solve this issue, the Eclipse OpenJ9 JVM provides JITServer technology, which separates the JIT compiler from the application.
JITServer allows the user to employ much smaller containers enabling a higher density of applications, resulting in cost savings for end-users and/or cloud providers. Because the CPU and memory surges due to JIT compilation are eliminated, the user has a much easier task of provisioning resources for his/her application. Additional advantages include: faster ramp-up time, better control over resources devoted to compilation, increased reliability (JIT compiler bugs no longer crash the application) and amortization of compilation costs across many application instances.
We will dig into JITServer technology, showing the challenges of implementation, detailing its strengths and weaknesses and illustrating its performance characteristics. For the cloud audience we will show how it can be deployed in containers, demonstrate its advantages compared to a traditional JIT compilation technique and offer practical recommendations about when to use this technology.

Virtual Asymmetric Multiprocessor for Interactive Performance of Consolidated...Sangwook Kim
The document proposes a virtual asymmetric multiprocessor (vAMP) approach to improve interactive performance in virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments. vAMP dynamically adjusts CPU shares asymmetrically between virtual CPUs (vCPUs) within a virtual machine (VM) based on whether the task hosted on each vCPU is interactive or background. It identifies interactive tasks using a lightweight technique that monitors user I/O and per-task CPU load at the virtual machine monitor (VMM) level. An optional guest OS extension further isolates interactive and background tasks on different vCPUs to mitigate performance degradation from frequent task multiplexing. Evaluation shows the approach improves launch times of interactive applications by up to 70% and frame rates of media

In this paper we deal with the management of the virtual computing resources for the execution of Micro VNFs. This functionality is performed by the Virtual Infrastructure Manager (VIM) in the NFV MANagement and Orchestration (MANO) reference architecture. We discuss the VIM instantiation process and propose a generic reference model, starting from the analysis of two Open Source VIMs, namely OpenStack Nova and Nomad. We implemented a tuned version of the VIMs with the specific goal of reducing the duration of the instantiation process. We realized a performance comparison of the two VIMs, both considering the plain and the tuned versions. The tuned VIMs and the performance evaluation tools that we have employed are provided openly and can be downloaded from our repository.

This document proposes using cloud computing to rapidly generate earthquake shake maps through stochastic simulations. It describes implementing a map-reduce model on the Microsoft Azure cloud to parallelize simulations for many receivers after an earthquake. Results like peak ground acceleration maps could be produced within minutes to aid scientists and emergency responders. The method was tested in Greece and provides a cost-effective way to process simulations as needed without dedicated computing resources.
