Event specifications, state of the serverless landscape, and other news from the CNCF Serverless Working Group

The CNCF point of view on Serverless Presentation at Serverlessconf NYC on October 11, 2017. https://nyc.serverlessconf.io/ The CNCF Serverless Working Group - with participation from IBM, AWS, Google, Huawei, Red Hat, VMware and many others - has been working on guidance to help end developers understand serverless computing. relative to other cloud-native deployment options such as container orchestration (for example, Kubernetes) and Platform-as-a-Service (for example, Cloud Foundry and OpenShift). A soon-to-be-published whitepaper aims to educate users about the right workloads for serverless, help them make sense of the landscape of service providers, and recommend open source projects for inclusion in the CNCF. In this lightning talk you'll hear about our work and learn how you can help steer serverless adoption and project support from the CNCF. Serverless architectures are rapidly gaining interest from developers but it can be hard to understand when a serverless platform makes the most sense for their next application and how long a given provider might be around to support their apps. The CNCF aims to help users learn about serverless and support emerging open source projects that can run, debug, and monitor the next generation of cloud-native applications.

OpenWhisk is an open-source serverless platform ideally suited to a wide range of scenarios including cognitive, data, IoT, microservices, and mobile workloads. Since we presented OpenWhisk at ServerlessConf London a lot has happened. It has been successfully accepted as an Apache Incubator project and the first production OpenWhisk deployments have happened. From a technical point of view we have added capabilities like a better API Gateway integration and support for web actions, have added integrations with IBM App Connect, IBM Message Hub, and more. During this talk we will discuss our latest additions and illustrate how to benefit by “going” serverless with OpenWhisk by exploring some real-world customer usecases with a focus on how serverless architectures can be exploited in totally different scenarios. Using these usecases we will explain how OpenWhisk works and why it is the ideally platform for these emerging workloads. After the talk we will be looking forward to discussing your own usecases in more detail at our booth.

Automate Workflows With The Open-source Cloud-native Tool Boomerang Flow

Konveyor Community

In the cloud-native workflow automation world, there are many great open-source projects such as Argo, Airflow, and Brigade. These tools require technical expertise to be used by business users, or they are aligned with a specific use case such as CI/CD. Boomerang Flow is an alternative tool that is usable by a business user but also provides an extensible framework developers can use for new use cases. It aims to replace Robotic Process Automation flows, which don’t necessarily need to be full-blown bots. And it doesn’t try to tackle use cases such as screen-scraping legacy green text applications. Instead, it tries to solve the problem where enterprises are using bots to perform tasks such as receiving a service now ticket and automatically moving it to a special status or workflow queue. These types of scenarios can be automated using Boomerang Flow. And the cost of running these workflows in Kubernetes is fractions of the cost of running an RPA bot for licensing.

Drupal has been a consistent leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management. However, enterprises leveraging Drupal have traditionally relied on PaaS providers for their hosting, scaling and lifecycle management. And that usually leads to enterprise applications being locked-in with a particular cloud or vendor. As container and container orchestration technologies disrupt the cloud and platform landscape, there’s a clear way to avoid this state of affairs. In this webinar, we discuss why it's important to build a cloud-native Drupal platform, and exactly how to do that. Join the webinar to understand how you can avoid vendor lock-in, and create a secure platform to manage, operate and scale your Drupal applications in a multi-cloud portable manner. Key Takeaways: - Why you need a cloud-native Drupal platform and how to build one - How to craft an idiomatic development workflow - Understanding infrastructure and cloud engineering - under the hood - Demystifying the art and science of Docker and Kubernetes: deep dive into scaling the LAMP stack - Exploring cost optimization and cloud governance - Understand portability of applications - A hands-on demo of how the platform works

Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Cloud

Mark 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 GalÃ¡ctica 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.

Taking the Next Hot Mobile Game Live with Docker and IBM SoftLayer

Presentation at the IBM InterConnect Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada on February 24, 2016. Mobile games are the fastest-growing sector of the $70 billion video game industry, far outpacing traditional consoles. But companies that aspire to create the next hot title have to account for more than just the app downloaded to a user device. They must prepare for huge spikes in game play with scalable backends to handle massive data and transactions behind socially linked user profiles and global leaderboards. This talk looks at how IBM successfully partnered with Firemonkeys, a major studio that had hit their vertical scaling limit, to design and deploy a new Docker-based architecture on SoftLayer. This scale-out architecture is able to handle an order of magnitude more customers for their next major release.

Presentation at the OpenStack Summit in Paris, France on November 5, 2014. As the largest open source project in the world, OpenStack is produced by a huge and diverse community of global contributors.  The most high profile efforts come from the individuals and organizations that produce the code and package the releases, however there are many other ways to get involved. In this sponsored session, we will highlight some of the key ways that IBM participates in the OpenStack community. We'll start off by reviewing some of our major code contributions, then we will highlight our conference and summit content, local meetup leadership activity, social media activism, web content, and more. After this presentation, you'll appreciate the full range of the activities that make an open source community strong, and learn how you can take part in the OpenStack community, as IBMers have. Finally, you'll have a chance to provide your feedback to guide IBM with its community activities, and have a starting point to get involved yourself.

Dockerizing OpenStack for High Availability

Presentation at the OpenStack Summit in Paris, France on November 4, 2014. High availability in OpenStack can be achieved in many ways. In this session we will describe how Docker can be used to provide an active-active highly available OpenStack environment. We will focus the real world work that we have done to "Dockerize" OpenStack services, detail the advantages to this type of deployment (rapid deployment, rapid scale out, versioning, etc.), and walk through our design - from requirements, limitations, obstacles, and especially our decisions. We will use our experiences as examples to provide real world best practices, as well as showing a demonstration of the environment in action.
