Devops: Enabled Through a Recasting of Operational Rolescornelia davis
Delivered at CF Summit Berlin, 2 Nov 2015.
One thing that everyone agrees on is that “Devops” is about reducing the friction between dev and ops. While it might not be immediately apparent, CF enables a separation of “operations” into two roles: platform ops and application ops. Platform ops is responsible for maintaining a secure platform with sufficient functionality and capacity so that application developers and application operators can perform their work. And application operators are responsible for keeping business applications up and running, so that consumers receive superior service, 24x7x365. By moving further up the stack, app operators can be far closer to the line of business owners, getting them speaking the same language. In this session we demonstrate how Cloud Foundry enables this, we talk about customers who are taking advantage of it, and we cover the tools available for each of the roles.

Migration from AWS to Enterprise Data Centers: 5 Top ConsiderationsPlatform9
This document discusses considerations for migrating from AWS to enterprise data centers. The top 5 considerations are: 1) Networking management and configuration, 2) Infrastructure provisioning for development teams, 3) Establishing a disaster recovery strategy to backup data offsite, 4) Automating deployment operations to replicate public cloud processes, and 5) Planning the data migration approach for moving data from public to private cloud environments.
Kubernetes Helm makes application deployment easy, standardized and reusable. Use of Kubernetes Helm leads to better developer productivity, reduced Kubernetes deployment complexity and enhanced enterprise production readiness.
Enterprises using Kubernetes Helm can speed up the adoption of cloud native applications. These applications can be sourced from open-source community provided repositories, or from an organization’s internal repository of customized application blueprints.
Developers can use Kubernetes Helm as a vehicle for packaging their applications and sharing them with the Kubernetes community. Kubernetes Helm also allows software vendors to offer their containerized applications at “the push of a button.” Through a single command or a few mouse clicks, users can install Kubernetes apps for dev-test or production environments.

Cost-effective Compute Clusters with Spot and Pre-emptible Instances - KubeCo...Platform9
Kubernetes and Spot/Pre-emptible Instances (SPIs) are arguably a match made in heaven. Traditionally, the uncertainty of SPIs (they can be terminated at any time due to price fluctuations) have made managing them tricky, and restricted them to specific workloads and use cases.
Kubernetes, in contrast, not only handles node failure very well, it has trained developers and architects to design applications to tolerate and even embrace failure. The prospect of Kubernetes abstracting the complexities of SPIs is now a reality, enabling applications to take advantage of low-cost compute across different clouds and possibly vendors.
The purpose of this talk is to educate the audience on strategies for making the most out of this powerful combination. Specifically, we will discuss these topics:
1. What are spot bidding strategies, and what is their cost vs. predictability trade-off?
2. What class of Kubernetes applications would benefit the most from SPIs?
3. Available Kubernetes mechanisms (e.g taints/tolerations, affinity, availability zones) for placing applications based on their tolerance with SPIs
3. Implementation strategies (e.g. blending multiple autoscaling groups to satisfy both SPI-optimized applications vs. applications that are more mission-critical or stateful)
4. What out-of-the box solutions exist, either free or commercial?
5. How to take abstract away clouds from different regions and vendors, allowing workloads to always take advantage of the best available pricing?
The talk concludes with real-world test results involving multiple use cases and configurations, giving the audience an idea of the potential cost savings and trade-offs (if any) of combining Kubernetes and SPIs.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
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.
