OSCON 2014 - Crash Course in Open Source Cloud ComputingMark Hinkle
This crash course is designed to give an overview of cloud computing architecture and the open source software that can be used to deploy and manage a cloud computing environment.
Topics to be discussed in this session will include virtualization (KVM, LXC, and Xen Project), orchestration (Apache CloudStack, Eucalyptus, Open Nebula, and OpenStack), and storage (GlusterFS, Ceph, and others). The talk will also provide insight into how to deliver Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and what technologies can be used to compliment this evolving cloud computing paradigm.
Systems administrators and IT generalists will leave the discussion with a general overview of the options at their disposal to effectively build and manage their own cloud computing environments using free and open source software and understand the capabilities and benefits of a host of technologies.
CloudOpen 2014 - Mixing Your Open Source Cloud CocktailMark Hinkle
Add two parts virtualization, one part orchestration add a little networking shake and pour. Unfortunately cloud computing isn’t that easy but then again not all clouds are the same and tastes may vary. This talk will discuss how the varying open source technologies like OpenStack, Docker, LXC and others can be mixed together to make something that appeals to the needs of a wide variety of users. There’s also no problem in abstaining from building your own cloud but still benefiting from the open source tooling to maximize the benefits of the public cloud.
Open Source Tool Chains for Cloud ComputingMark Hinkle
This presentation was given at LinuxCon 2010.
The proliferation of cloud computing is inevitable, hosted apps, software-as-as-service and now dynamic on-demand utility computing is becoming the norm. The session will be a “fire-side” chat style discussion of the types of challenges presented by IT management operations personnel and how they can manage cloud infrastructure using open source tools. The talk will discuss options for deploying and integrating tools that provision, configure, orchestrate and monitor cloud (and physical)infrastructure. The session will appeal to those IT professionals (syadmins, net-ops, developers) who develop and manage infrastructure that resides in hosted environments like Amazon EC2 without disregarding traditionally hosted internal infrastructure.
InteropNY/CloudConnect 2014 - Quick Crash Course in Open Source Cloud ComputingMark Hinkle
This will be an overview of the open source software that can be used to deploy and manage a cloud computing environment. The session will include information on storage, networking(e.g. OpenDaylight) and compute virtualization (Xen, KVM, LXC) and the orchestration(Apache CloudStack, OpenStack) of the three to build their own cloud services.
Open source and cloud computing are two terms that everyone seems to be talking about. Powerhouses on their own, when paired together open source and cloud computing can create a developer’s dream scenario.
In this session, Bret Piatt, technical alliances at Rackspace Hosting will discuss the history of open source software development and the spread of open source across the internet. Cloud computing providers are now incorporating open source into their business models through open APIs and contributions to various open source projects such as Cassandra and Drizzle, and Bret will discuss these developments while taking a close look at the intersection of cloud computing and open source to cover:
How cloud computing is changing open source
How cloud computing can benefit from open source
How open source will lead the interoperability push
How the success of cloud is tied to mass adoption that requires interoperability
Fossetcon: Crash Course on Open Source Cloud ComputingMark Hinkle
This crash course is designed to give an overview of cloud computing architecture and the open source software that can be used to deploy and manage a cloud computing environment.
Topics to be discussed in this session will include virtualization (KVM, LXC, and Xen Project), orchestration (Apache CloudStack, Eucalyptus, Open Nebula, and OpenStack), and storage (GlusterFS, Ceph, and others). The talk will also provide insight into how to deliver Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and what technologies can be used to compliment this evolving cloud computing paradigm.
Systems administrators and IT generalists will leave the discussion with a general overview of the options at their disposal to effectively build and manage their own cloud computing environments using free and open source software and understand the capabilities and benefits of a host of technologies.

Linuxcon Europe 2011: Overview - Building Cloud Computing EnvironmentsMark Hinkle
Cloud Computing has been touted as an almost magical solution for changing the way enterprise IT infrastructure is deployed. Despite all the “cloudwashing” there is no magic, cloud computing still requires the same rigor in planning and design as in legacy IT architecture. The difference is that thanks to inexpensive hardware and exceptional free and open source software state-of-the-art technology is now this evolution of technology is accessible to any organization. This levels the IT playing field allowing users them to be competitive by deploying systems that are agile, scalable and adaptable to their needs. This presentation will cover the open source software that can be combined to build cloud computing environments for a variety of different uses as well as informing potential cloud users on how to choose technologies to best address the computing needs of their organization.

Containers, OCI, CNCF, Magnum, Kuryr, and You!Daniel Krook
Presentation at the OpenStack Summit in Austin, Texas on April 28, 2016.
http://bit.ly/os-oci-cncf-ses
The technology industry has been abuzz about cloud workload containerization since the open source Docker project became a phenomenon in early 2014.
Meanwhile, an OpenStack Containers Team was formed and the Magnum project launched to provide users with a convenient Containers-as-a-Service solution for OpenStack environments.
As the potential of both technologies emerged, many wanted to see shared governance over the baseline container specification and runtime technology to ensure an open cloud ecosystem.
This past December, two new groups were launched with a goal of creating open, industry standards. The first called the Open Container Initiative (http://www.opencontainers.org), and the second called the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (http://cncf.io)

Docker moves very fast, with an edge channel released every month and a stable release every 3 months. Patrick will talk about how Docker introduced Docker EE and a certification program for containers and plugins with Docker CE and EE 17.03 (from March), the announcements from DockerCon (April), and the many new features planned for Docker CE 17.05 in May.
This talk will be about what's new in Docker and what's next on the roadmap
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.
DockerCon SF 2015: Using Docker to Keep Houses Warm: Highly Distributed Micro...Docker, Inc.
Eric Feliksik's Slides from his DockerCon presentation:
Nerdalize is a Dutch start-up that provides affordable and green computing power with an innovative approach. We heat living rooms with CPUs, as high-performance computer hardware is fit into a beautiful design radiator. While home owners heat for free, a massive distributed compute infrastructure becomes available.
In this talk, we give a detailed overview of how Docker, Rancher and other tools in the ecosystem enable us to leverage such a highly distributed micro-datacenter architecture. We discuss how our approach drastically eliminates data center infrastructure costs, and how we aim to change the environmental impact of the compute industry.
Docker Orchestration: Welcome to the Jungle! JavaOne 2015Patrick Chanezon
In two years, Docker hit the sweet spot for devs and ops, with tools for building, shipping, and running distributed apps architected as a set of collaborating microservices packaged as Linux containers. One area of the Docker ecosystem that saw a lot of innovation in the past year is container orchestration systems. This session compares and contrasts various Docker orchestration systems (Swarm, Machine, and Compose), the batteries included with Docker itself, Mesos, Kubernetes, CoreOS/Fleet, Deis, Cloud Foundry, and Tutum. It includes a demo of how to deploy a Java 8 app with MongoDB on several of these systems. The goal of the session is to give you a framework to help evaluate how these systems can meet your particular requirements.

Server to Cloud – convert a legacy platform to a micro-PaaS using Docker and related, containerization technologies
Video: http://vimeo.com/94556976
The talk will begin with how to setup a local Docker development environment (Windows or Mac OSX) as Docker runs atop Linux. The basics of Docker will be examined including how to use image repositories, and a brief description of available UI’s for managing Docker containers (Shipyard and DockerUI).
Next, example applications will be built for progressively more robust use cases and deployments; to demonstrate the power, flexibility and scalability of Containerization with Docker. The first example will discuss a simple two container model to encapsulate a database and application layer, which will lead to demonstration and discussion about more robust deployments that include features such as service discovery, automatic load balancing, and abstractions to simplify linking of containers. The context of the talk with be how Containerization enables architectural choice, scalability, and polyglot environments.
Docker and supporting technologies will be discussed to expose the multitude of supporting technologies within the ecosystem such as Flynn, Serf (makes or Vagrant), CoreOS, Deus, HAProxy and more.
Technologies that may be employed within containers during the demonstration include, Java, Scala, Akka, Docker, vert.x or node.js, memcached, mysql, mongo.
Delivering Infrastructure-as-a-Service with Open Source SoftwareMark Hinkle
The web was build using open source software like Linux, Apache, MySQL and the pervasive PHP, Python and Perl. Just as with the web, open source is one of the core foundations of cloud computing as early cloud pioneers used the freely available, freely-distributable model to power their web-scale deployments—achieving an unprecedented level of scale at a bare-bones cost that had never been seen in the history of computing. The first movers in cloud computing services found the open source software model most appealing, but to businesses today the attraction of open source is about the ability to develop a more flexible infrastructure and avoid vendor lock-in that often results from proprietary systems.

The first movers in cloud computing services found the open source software model most appealing, but to businesses today the attraction of open source is about the ability to develop a more flexible infrastructure and avoid vendor lock-in that often results from proprietary systems.

Oscon 2017: Build your own container-based system with the Moby projectPatrick Chanezon
Build your own container-based system
with the Moby project
Docker Community Edition—an open source product that lets you build, ship, and run containers—is an assembly of modular components built from an upstream open source project called Moby. Moby provides a “Lego set” of dozens of components, the framework for assembling them into specialized container-based systems, and a place for all container enthusiasts to experiment and exchange ideas.
Patrick Chanezon and Mindy Preston explain how you can leverage the Moby project to assemble your own specialized container-based system, whether for IoT, cloud, or bare-metal scenarios. Patrick and Mindy explore Moby’s framework, components, and tooling, focusing on two components: LinuxKit, a toolkit to build container-based Linux subsystems that are secure, lean, and portable, and InfraKit, a toolkit for creating and managing declarative, self-healing infrastructure. Along the way, they demo how to use Moby, LinuxKit, InfraKit, and other components to quickly assemble full-blown container-based systems for several use cases and deploy them on various infrastructures.
LinuxFest NW 2013: Hitchhiker's Guide to Open Source Cloud ComputingMark Hinkle
Presented on April 27th, 2013 at LinuxFest NW
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.
Specific topics for discussion will include:
Infrastructure-as-a-Service - The Systems Cloud - Get a comparision of the open source cloud platforms including OpenStack, Apache CloudStack, Eucalyptus, OpenNebula
Platform-as-a-Service - The Developers Cloud - Find out what tools are availble to build portable auto-scaling applications including CloudFoundry, OpenShift, Stackato and more.
Data-as-a-Service - The Analytics Cloud - Want to figure out the who, what , where , when and why of big data ? You get an overview of open source NoSQL databases and technologies like MapReduce to help crunch massive data sets in the cloud.
Finally you'll get a overview of the tools that can help you really take advantage of the cloud? Want to auto-scale virtual machiens to serve millions of web pages or want to automate the configuration of cloud computing environments. You'll learn how to combine these tools to provide continous deployment systems that will help you earn DevOps cred in any data center.
[Finally, for those of you that are Douglas Adams fans please accept the deepest apologies for bad analogies to the HHGTTG.]
Open Source Toolchains to Manage Cloud InfrastructureMark Hinkle
Open Source Toolchains to Manage Cloud Infrastructure presentation for Cloud Computing Expo East - June 6, 2011.
Added APIs (jclouds, fog, libcloud, deltacloud)
The Information Technology have led us into an era where the production, sharing and use of information are now part of everyday life and of which we are often unaware actors almost: it is now almost inevitable not leave a digital trail of many of the actions we do every day; for example, by digital content such as photos, videos, blog posts and everything that revolves around the social networks (Facebook and Twitter in particular). Added to this is that with the "internet of things", we see an increase in devices such as watches, bracelets, thermostats and many other items that are able to connect to the network and therefore generate large data streams. This explosion of data justifies the birth, in the world of the term Big Data: it indicates the data produced in large quantities, with remarkable speed and in different formats, which requires processing technologies and resources that go far beyond the conventional systems management and storage of data. It is immediately clear that, 1) models of data storage based on the relational model, and 2) processing systems based on stored procedures and computations on grids are not applicable in these contexts. As regards the point 1, the RDBMS, widely used for a great variety of applications, have some problems when the amount of data grows beyond certain limits. The scalability and cost of implementation are only a part of the disadvantages: very often, in fact, when there is opposite to the management of big data, also the variability, or the lack of a fixed structure, represents a significant problem. This has given a boost to the development of the NoSQL database. The website NoSQL Databases defines NoSQL databases such as "Next Generation Databases mostly addressing some of the points: being non-relational, distributed, open source and horizontally scalable." These databases are: distributed, open source, scalable horizontally, without a predetermined pattern (key-value, column-oriented, document-based and graph-based), easily replicable, devoid of the ACID and can handle large amounts of data. These databases are integrated or integrated with processing tools based on the MapReduce paradigm proposed by Google in 2009. MapReduce with the open source Hadoop framework represent the new model for distributed processing of large amounts of data that goes to supplant techniques based on stored procedures and computational grids (step 2). The relational model taught courses in basic database design, has many limitations compared to the demands posed by new applications based on Big Data and NoSQL databases that use to store data and MapReduce to process large amounts of data.

"Is serverless another passing technology fad or the new standard for application deployment in cloud computing?” It’s a good question and the topic of this presentation. We will discuss the current state of serverless computing and the many considerations before investing time and resources in serverless infrastructure.
For many, data center priorities have shifted from absolute uptime and performance to ”move fast and break things” as espoused by Silicon Valley, a great mantra for those with limited legacy systems and a greenfield of new products. Though the question for many enterprises though is "How does serverless integrate into their existing data center strategy?"
The discussion will not only explain the state of today’s growing serverless landscape but how you can integrate your existing data center with a cloud-native serverless architecture.
Triangle Kubernetes Meet-Up - Serverless is FaaS-tasticMark Hinkle
Talk Delivered 3/19/2019 - Serverless can be misleading as a descriptor. Serverless infrastructure actually runs on servers. However, the “server-less” reference comes from the fact that serverless abstracts the complexity of running servers away from the software developer which enables them to develop software without having to worry about the scaling, redundancy and overall infrastructure design. This is called Function-as-a-Service or Faas for short.
For the purposes of this talk, we’ll discuss serverless technologies where someone else is providing serverless infrastructure. Popular serverless platforms include Amazon Web Services Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Microsoft Azure Functions.
The presentation will also discuss the software that can be used to deliver Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) that enables serverless, including serverless frameworks like Knative, Kubeless, OpenFaaS, and Oracle’s fn.
Finally, we’ll cover what a cloud-native application might look like including the use cases and design patterns that serverless is geared towards providing.

Keynote All Things Open - Open Source: The Punk Rock of the 21st CenturyMark Hinkle
It's easy to draw a comparison between open source software. Many bands self-produced recordings (like software developers) and distributed them through informal channels (like open source projects)….technical accessibility and a DIY spirit are prized in punk rock(as we see in open source)…….Punk rock is meant to be our freedom(as in free software). We're meant to be able to do what we want to do…. The issue of authenticity is important in the punk subculture—the pejorative term "poseur" is applied to those who associate with punk and adopt its stylistic attributes but are deemed not to share or understand the underlying values and philosophy…. At the end of the 20th century, punk rock had been adopted by the mainstream, as pop punk and punk rock bands such as Green Day, the Offspring and Blink-182 brought the genre to widespread popularity. Open source is enjoying that same popularity in the 21st century.
Cloud 2.0 - How Containers, Microservices and Open Source Software are Redefi...Mark Hinkle
Led by the rocket like success of Amazon Web Services cloud computing is a paradigm shift in the way we host and deploy infrastructure. Organizations are consuming cloud infrastructure across multiple cloud providers both inside their data center and the data centers of others. The advent of highly portable workloads via containers (e.g. Docker) and discrete units of computing delivered by microservices are enabling organizations (like Netflix) to deploy complex multi-layered products and services at breakneck speeds.
This talk will give an overview of the major cloud services and the open source software (e.g. OpenStack, Apache CloudStack) that can be used to deliver and manage cloud computing infrastructure(e.g. Puppet, Chef, Ansible). The discussion will cover the evolution of cloud computing and how that sets the stage for realizing the agility, flexibility and power of cloud computing.
Attendees should expect to learn about the leading technologies in cloud computing, strategies for using open source software to create/manage cloud computing services and to gain an understanding how current developments are providing a way to create a single cloud fabric that best serves their individual needs.
Presentation on the current state of cloud computing and the role that open source, containers and microservices are playing in the cloud.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

The Myth of the Nines
Availability % Downtime per Downtime per Downtime per
Year Month Week
99.9% (three nines) 8.76 hours 43.2 minutes 10.1 minutes
99.95% 4.38 hours 21.56 minutes 5.04 minutes
99.99% (four nines) 52.6 minutes 4.32 minutes 1.01 minutes
99.999% ( ve nines) 5.26 minutes 25.9 minutes 6.05 minutes
99.9999% (six nines) 31.5 seconds 2.59 seconds .0605 seconds
Average polling interval for monitoring? 5 minutes?
Even superhuman operations people can’t be alerted and take action in under 5 minutes.
One outage per year could drop service level to three nines or worse.
