Docker Usage Patterns - Meetup Docker Paris - November, 10th 2015
Go through the result of our latest large-scale study about Docker usage in real environment. Analyze and see the impact for operations and monitoring.
Lifting the Blinds: Monitoring Windows Server 2012
Operating systems monitor resources continuously in order to effectively schedule processes.
In this webinar, Evan Mouzakitis (Datadog) discusses how to get operational data from Windows Server 2012 using a variety of native tools.
The Data Mullet: From all SQL to No SQL back to Some SQL
This document discusses Datadog's data architecture, which uses a combination of SQL and NoSQL databases. It initially used all SQL (Postgres) but found it did not scale well. It added Cassandra for durable storage and Redis for in-memory storage to improve performance and scalability. While Cassandra provided large-scale durable storage, it had issues with I/O latency on EC2. The document examines different database choices and how Datadog addressed scaling and latency issues through a hybrid "data mullet" approach using different databases for their strengths.
Events and metrics the Lifeblood of Webops
This document summarizes a presentation about using events and metrics to manage web operations. It discusses how the presenter's company Datadog aggregates and correlates metrics and events data from multiple sources to provide visibility and insights for developers and operations teams. It describes some of the challenges of dealing with large and diverse data streams. It also covers some of the tradeoffs and techniques for managing infrastructure in both on-premise and cloud environments, particularly around networking, storage, and scaling of compute and data resources.
Mobile 3: Launch Like a Boss!
Our Application development is nearing completion. It's time to prepare our cluster for production, but are we sure the system is capable of handing the load? Have we achieved high availability? What preflight checks should we be running. Learn how Dev & Ops work together to achieve production readiness and plan for scale, availability, monitoring.
Running Spark Inside Containers with Haohai Ma and Khalid Ahmed
This presentation describes the journey we went through in containerizing Spark workload into multiple elastic Spark clusters in a multi-tenant kubernetes environment. Initially we deployed Spark binaries onto a host-level filesystem, and then the Spark drivers, executors and master can transparently migrate to run inside a Docker container by automatically mounting host-level volumes. In this environment, we do not need to prepare a specific Spark image in order to run Spark workload in containers. We then utilized Kubernetes helm charts to deploy a Spark cluster. The administrator could further create a Spark instance group for each tenant. A Spark instance group, which is akin to the Spark notion of a tenant, is logically an independent kingdom for a tenant’s Spark applications in which they own dedicated Spark masters, history server, shuffle service and notebooks. Once a Spark instance group is created, it automatically generates its image and commits to a specified repository. Meanwhile, from Kubernetes’ perspective, each Spark instance group is a first-class deployment and thus the administrator can scale up/down its size according to the tenant’s SLA and demand. In a cloud-based data center, each Spark cluster can provide a Spark as a service while sharing the Kubernetes cluster. Each tenant that is registered into the service gets a fully isolated Spark instance group. In an on-prem Kubernetes cluster, each Spark cluster can map to a Business Unit, and thus each user in the BU can get a dedicated Spark instance group. The next step on this journey will address the resource sharing across Spark instance groups by leveraging new Kubernetes’ features (Kubernetes31068/9), as well as the Elastic workload containers depending on job demands (Spark18278).

AWS to Bare Metal: Motivation, Pitfalls, and Results
Like many startups, Wish grew up on AWS. As our cluster grew and the price of SSDs fell, we started exploring bare metal. Fast-forward 2 years and we have hundreds of MongoDB instances on bare metal fully integrated with our AWS infrastructure. It wasn't all smooth sailing, but the performance & cost improvements were worth it! Hear the story of how we did it and gain a framework for thinking about how to make the leap from cloud-centric architecture to a hybrid model.

The document concludes that CloudStack should not try to write a Docker hypervisor plugin, but instead focus on Docker-optimized OS templates and deploying application frameworks to orchestrate Docker.
Kafka for begginer
Kafka is a distributed streaming platform used for building real-time data pipelines and streaming applications. It allows for publishing and subscribing to streams of records known as topics in a fault-tolerant, scalable, and fast manner. Producers publish data to topics while consumers subscribe to topics and process the data streams. The Kafka cluster stores these topic partitions across servers and replicates the data for fault tolerance. It provides ordering and processing guarantees through offsets as it retains data for a configurable period of time.

R in Minecraft
Presentation delivered by David Smith to NY R Conference https://www.rstats.nyc/, April 2018:
Minecraft is an open-world creativity game, and a hit with kids. To get kids interested in learning to program with R, we created the "miner" package. This package is a collection of simple functions that allow you to connect with a Minecraft instance, manipulate the world within by creating blocks and controlling the player, and to detect events within the world and react accordingly.
The miner package is intended mainly for kids, to inspire them to learn R while playing Minecraft. But the development of the package also provides some useful insights into how to build an R package to interface with a persistent API, and how to instruct others on its use. In this talk I'll describe how to set up your own Minecraft server, and how to use and extend the package. I'll also provide a few examples of the package in action in a live Minecraft session.

A Networking View for the DevOps Crew: SDN
The document discusses software defined networking (SDN) from the perspective of network engineers. It describes how SDN aims to provide more choice and control over networks similar to how virtualization has transformed computing. SDN separates the control plane, which directs traffic, from the forwarding plane, which sends packets. This allows network administrators to program how traffic flows using a centralized controller and OpenFlow protocol. The document also covers related topics like network functions virtualization, overlay networks, and white-box networking using Linux.
PaaSTA: Autoscaling at Yelp
Capacity planning is a difficult challenge faced by most companies. If you have too few machines, you will not have enough compute resources available to deal with heavy loads. On the other hand, if you have too many machines, you are wasting money. This is why companies have started investing in automatically scaling services and infrastructure to minimize the amount of wasted money and resources.
In this talk, Nathan will describe how Yelp is using PaaSTA, a PaaS built on top of open source tools including Docker, Mesos, Marathon, and Chronos, to automatically and gracefully scale services and the underlying cluster. He will go into detail about how this functionality was implemented and the design designs that were made while architecting the system. He will also provide a brief comparison of how this approach differs from existing solutions.
Create Microservice with Spring Boot and Docker
Spring Boot makes it easy to create standalone and production-ready Spring applications with minimal configuration. It aims to provide a faster development experience and common features like embedded servers and health checks. Spring Boot 2.0.1 requires Java 8/9 and works with embedded containers like Tomcat, Jetty and Undertow. Docker is a containerization platform that virtualizes applications and their dependencies to run on any OS without conflicts. It was developed by Docker Inc. and written in Go, with community and enterprise editions available.

Crisis Informatics is an area of research that investigates how members of the public make use of social media during times of crisis. The amount of social media data generated by a single event is significant: millions of tweets and status updates accompanied by gigabytes of photos and video. To investigate the types of digital behaviors that occur around these events requires a significant investment in designing, developing, and deploying large-scale software infrastructure for both data collection and analysis. Project EPIC at the University of Colorado has been making use of Cassandra since Spring 2012 to provide a solid foundation for Project EPIC's data collection and analysis activities. Project EPIC has collected terabytes of social media data associated with hundreds of disaster events that must be stored, processed, analyzed, and visualized. This talk will cover how Project EPIC makes use of Cassandra and discuss some of the architectural, modeling, and analysis challenges encountered while developing the Project EPIC software infrastructure.
Cassandra Day Denver 2014: So, You Want to Use Cassandra?

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
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:
Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.
