The Internet Society works to promote an open and globally connected Internet through technology development, policy engagement, and operational best practices. It founded the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and runs programs like Deploy360 and Best Current Operational Practices (BCOP) to help operators deploy new technologies and standards. A recent survey found that while many operators are interested in IETF standards work, they face challenges like lack of time and travel budgets in directly engaging with or influencing the IETF process. The Internet Society aims to address these issues and facilitate more communication between operators and the IETF.

ION Toronto, 11 November 2013: The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standardizes the protocols and services that vendors implement and network operators are supposed to deploy and use. We believe there is an opportunity to better identify, capture, and promote best current operational practices documents emerging from various regional network operators’ groups. We believe sharing these documents across the globe would benefit the wider Internet community and help more operators deploy new technologies like IPv6 and DNSSEC faster and easier. Many operators need down-to-earth information on how to fix their current issues and how to implement new technologies coming out of the IETF. How can the Internet Society help facilitate this work?

Big innovation and research projects usually require merging contributions form organizations with expertise in different domains. Managing and participating in multi-company projects that use multiple state-of-the-art technologies constitute a challenging activity due to many factors such as integration inexperience, evolv-ing components, tentative requirements, independent teams or independent man-agement centers. In the late nineties and in the early years of 2000, several meth-odologies arose with the focus on fast releases of working software, commonly known as agile, that aimed to address many of the challenges that this kind of projects face. However, in most cases, these methodologies were not fully adoptable as the automation investment was too high and it was not recoverable during the duration of the project. The global servitization trend and the appear-ance of approaches, such as DevOps, to support the continuous and fast adjust-ment of those services to stay in business has also impacted innovation and re-search projects. On one hand, matured technologies that reduce the automation investment have arisen. On the other hand, whenever it makes sense, services which benefit from the application of DevOps approaches are required to be im-plemented. This paper explains the implementation of DevOps approaches to support the agile development in the context of innovation and research projects. It also describes two practical implementation cases where such approaches were implemented and how they evolved in the course of the time.

Operationalizing Data Science Using Cloud FoundryVMware Tanzu
SpringOne Platform 2016
Speaker: Lawrence Spracklen; Vice President of Engineering, Alpine Data Labs.
Data science is undoubtedly becoming a key component of every company’s core strategy for growth and increased revenue potential. To meet this market demand, the big data industry has exploded with a variety of tools to address various pieces of the data science value chain, from model scoring, to notebook interfaces, to niche algorithmic techniques. However, despite the increase in innovation in this area, many insights generated by data science teams end up “dying on the vine”. There has to be a better way of deploying operational models to end users through intuitive interfaces that they can use everyday.
In this session, we will demo how the joint solution between Alpine’s Chorus Platform and Cloud Foundry addresses this problem and closes the gap between data science insights and business value. We will demo an example of creating a machine learning model leveraging data within MPP databases such as Apache HAWQ or Greenplum Database integrated with the Chorus Platform and then deploying this as a micro service within Cloud Foundry as a scoring engine. This turn-key solution will show attendees how easy it is to plug in analytic insights into end user applications that scale, without going through lengthy development cycles.
Operationalize the network to affect positive cultural change across IT silos to accelerate time to market because the second place is the first loser in an application world.

Software management plans in research softwareShoaib Sufi
Slides from the 14th August 2019 webinar presentation as part of the Best Practices for HPC Software Developers (Webinar) series - https://ideas-productivity.org/events/hpc-best-practices-webinars/ - more info at https://www.exascaleproject.org/event/smp-rp/ and a recording on YouTube is at - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sELeZStzdY&feature=youtu.be
Abstract:
Software is a necessary by-product of research. Software in this context can range from small shell scripts to complex and layered software ecosystems. Dealing with software as a first class citizen at the time of grant formulation is aided by the development of a Software Management Plan (SMP). An SMP can help to formalize a set of structures and goals that ensure your software is accessible and reusable in the short, medium and long term. SMP’s aim at becoming for software what Data Management Plans (DMP’s) have become for research data (DMP’s are mandatory for National Science Foundation grants). This webinar takes you through the questions you should consider when developing a Software Management Plan, how to manage the implementation of the plan, and some of the current motivation driving discussion in this area of research management.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

18. Best Current Operational Practices (BCOP)
– THE CHALLENGE
There is currently no quick and easy way for an operator to
find and reference all of the best practices for immediate use
in administering their local network
There is too much clutter in the IT landscape for network
operators to easily find reliable, vetted, user-friendly
documentation
There may be a need for a globally recognized document
series that details the best practices for operationalizing
Internet technologies
19. BCOP Repositories
– POTENTIAL SOLUTION
We believe neutral and regionally organized document
repositories that describe best current operational practices
could help:
– Speed deployment of technologies such as IPv6 and DNSSEC
– Make the routing infrastructure more resilient
– Simplify network deployments for less experienced operators
These documents should be written by experienced
operators and be globally accessible to everyone in an open
and neutral location without fees
We are committed to assisting in the creation and promotion
of these repositories

22. Project Rationale
In a perfect world:
– Operators participate in the IETF standards process
– New standards work perfectly once deployed
– Deployment and operationalization concerns are addressed
– Operators know when to participate, and do so in a timely manner
In reality:
– Network operators are not engaged enough in the IETF process
– Many operators do not join IETF mailing lists or attend meetings
– Operators do not know standards are even under development
– Standards deemed ready by recent IETF attendees sometimes turn
out to be problematic in operational networks
23. ISOC’s Role
The discussion about operator input (or lack thereof)
into the IETF process is not new, but there was very
little hard data to back up anecdotal evidence
DO created and marketed an online survey in 2014 to
understand the operators’ issues so that we can
address the concerns and ultimately help make better
standards
We are working to facilitate communications between
operators and the IETF to help ensure operational
realities inform standards development
24. Initial Survey Results (Part 1)
Most survey participants were
Operators/Engineers/Architects; more than 90% hold
primarily technical roles
Many have heard of the IETF and know what it does, but
do not know how to participate
A strong majority claim they are interested in IETF
mailing lists, find the content relevant, believe it’s
important to their jobs, but don’t have enough time to
participate in mailing lists
25. Initial Results (Part 2)
~50% do not participate in the IETF in any form; ~30%
participate only on mailing lists
+50% believe operator input is welcome; 64% say they
do NOT rely on vendors to represent them
50% of respondents claim to have a managerial role
82% say that they do not have a travel budget for IETF
meetings
26. Next Steps
Analyze and synthesize survey results and feedback
Collect data into an IETF Internet-Draft, including a
report on the challenges to greater operator
engagement and a summary of potential solutions,
including:
– Things operators and operator groups can do to help
provide more input
– Things the IETF can do to help operators participate
– Things ISOC can do to help facilitate greater operator
engagement
The Internet Society:
Encourages open development of standards, protocols, administration.
Enables economic growth in developing countries through education and training
Fosters participation and and develops new leaders in areas important to the evolution of the Internet.
Provides reliable information about the Internet.
Leads and facilitates discussion of issues that affect Internet evolution and developments.
The Internet Society works globally, across the broad range of policy, technology, and development, which allows it to bring unique perspectives and insight about how to address some of the significant issues facing the Internet today.
The Internet Society works globally, across the broad range of policy, technology, and development, which allows it to bring unique perspectives and insight about how to address some of the significant issues facing the Internet today.
The Internet Society is the parent corporation of the IETF. However, the Internet Society itself grew out of the IETF, to support those functions that require a corporate form rather than simply the ad hoc approach of the IETF. In reality, the Internet Society was formed because the IETF Secretariat, which had been operated under NSF contract by staff at the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI) would not be supported beyond 1991 by NSF. The then Internet Activities Board sought to create a non-profit institution that could provide financial support for the IETF Secretariat among other things. CNRI served as the first host for the Internet Society's operation.
