As PaaS is becoming more prevalent than ever, most PaaS environments and frameworks are still strongly opinionated and allow for very limited control and extensibility.
Extending a PaaS framework requires deep understating of its internals at best, and in many cases in not even possible.
Cloudify, a new open source PaaS framework, has taken a different approach, by using recipes (As opposed to heavyweight coding and platform extension) as means to introduce new application stacks to the PaaS layer. You can think of it as extending the recipe model of Chef to support application level concerns, such as orchestration, dependency management, multi-tier and multi-host deployments, monitoring and autoscaling.
This presentation covers the foundations of Cloudify, and how it leverages Chef as a key enabler for an open PaaS framework.

Making cloud portability a practical reality (i pad)Nati Shalom
The term "cloud portability" is often considered a synonym for "Cloud API portability," which implies a series of misconceptions. If we break away from dogma, we can find that what we really looking for in cloud portability is Application portability between clouds which can be a vastly simpler requirement, as we can achieve application portability without settling on a common Cloud API. ..
The following presentation shows how I could use the ideas from this post and provide a practical cloud portability solution today using Cloudify and JClouds.

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is a relatively new approach to delivering IT services and it’s a fast-evolving category. This means there still a number of myths and misunderstandings around it. Let’s knock a few of them on the head.
Here's 5 PaaS myths every CIO needs to get over:
Beyond PaaS v.s IaaS: How to Manage BothRightScale
The lines between IaaS and PaaS are blurring. Cloud providers are offering dozens of individual IaaS+ services as an alternative to “all-in-one” PaaS options like OpenShift and Cloud Foundry. Container-as-a-service (CaaS) offerings based on Docker are also being used as a basis for PaaS offerings. In fact, many enterprises are using PaaS, IaaS, IaaS+, and CaaS side-by-side. We decode the various options and show how you can manage them all with a single pane of glass.

Businesses around the world are reinventing themselves to remain competitive in a time when agility, efficiency and constant change is the new normal.
Strategic, thoughtful evolution is required to meet these changes head on. The most successful companies are doing so with a critical eye on three factors:
• Customers are more connected than ever, demanding more customized experience, on-demand scale, ubiquitous access and business analytics. Keeping customers at the center of every decision is critical.
• Competitive landscape has become more dynamic. Biggest is no guarantee of being the best. Foresight, innovating thinking and ability to quickly respond to customer’s need are what create new market leaders.
• Organizational structures and models have evolved. Businesses that foster innovation and collaboration require new ways of thinking and operating to create efficiencies and increase the power of their human capital.
In this book, we provide an overview of the Platform as a Service (PaaS) model of cloud services, describing its value, components and its place in an overall cloud adoption and migration strategy. Then we showcase seven of the largest and most powerful PaaS companies and their public and private PaaS offerings. We examine the services offered by these platforms and provide a comparison chart and decision checklists to facilitate selecting the most appropriate platform for transforming your organization to increase efficiencies and power of innovation.
OpenShift, Docker, Kubernetes: The next generation of PaaSGraham Dumpleton
Containers are upending the way that developers and operations groups are thinking about how to deploy software. To cater for these new ways of thinking, traditional Platform as a Service (PaaS) providers are also needing to adapt. Although PaaS providers have been using containers for some time, the new focus is around Docker and the image portability it provides. It isn't all about containers though, you still need orchestration to manage where containers are deployed, as well as workflows for getting you from source code to deployed application.
In this talk you will learn about how OpenShift, Red Hat's Open Source PaaS is being reimplemented around Docker and Kubernetes, adding in its own secret sauce to deliver a next generation PaaS.

Introduction to Infrastructure as Code & Automation / Introduction to ChefNathen Harvey
Your customers expect you to continuously deliver delightful experiences. This means that you’ll need to continuously deliver application and infrastructure updates. Hand-crafted servers lovingly built and maintained by a system administrator are a thing of the past. Golden images are fine for initial provisioning but will quickly fail as your configuration requirements change over time.
It’s time for you to fully automate the provisioning and management of your infrastructure components. Welcome to the world of infrastructure as code! In this new world, you’ll be able to programmatically provision and configure the components of your infrastructure.
Disposable infrastructure whose provisioning, configuration, and on-going maintenance is fully automated allow you to change the way you build and deliver applications. Move your applications and infrastructure towards continuous delivery.
In this talk, we’ll explore the ideas behind “infrastructure as code” and, specifically, look at how Chef allows you to fully automate your infrastructure. If you’re brave enough, we’ll even let you get your hands on some Chef and experience the delight of using Chef to build and deploy some infrastructure components.
With SPS 11 for the SAP HANA platform, some major additions to SAP HANA extended application services are planned. On the JavaScript side, we plan to add Google V8 and full support for Node.js.

Come and see the features of the deployment infrastructure and the new XS Advanced run times, how design-time objects will now be managed in GIT and how to utilize the new container concept.
Amazon Web Services and PaaS - Enterprise Java for the Cloud Era? - Mark Pric...jaxconf
The extraordinary growth of Java during the last decade owed everything to the set of infrastructure services that application servers provided as part of the platform. However, TCO eventually drove the move to the cloud and PaaS (Platform as a Service) is set to deliver a standard run-time for the next generation of applications, replacing the proprietary infrastructure provided by the application server vendors. Now the question is: where do developers of real-world business applications look for a common set of standard infrastructure services? Is there a common framework that can provide essential application services, such as message queueing, push notifications, email integration, in-memory caching and processing? Amazon Web Services (AWS) with their highly-scaleable IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) model are an obvious answer, but how best to combine Java's rich ecosystem of tools, frameworks and knowledge with the scale and cost-effectiveness of cloud-based web services? This session will help you to understand how you can deliver applications that make effective use of those services by using a Java PaaS, without being forced to support the underlying infrastructure. In this code-rich session, aimed at architects and developers, Mark Prichard of CloudBees will show how you can: Pass Amazon security credentials and configuration parameters to PaaS applications at run-time to provide customized environments; use JDBC and Amazon RDS (Relational Data Service) to provide resilient and performant relational data servicesReplace JMS queues and topics with Amazon SQS (Simple Queue Service) and SNS (Simple Notification Service) to develop cloud-based messaging applications; use Amazon's SES (Simple Email Service) from Java applications. We'll also look at other cloud e-mail services that offer easy integration with the PaaS modelRun distributed caching solutions in the cloud using Amazon ElastiCache's in-memory distributed caching with Java PaaS deployments.

Orchestration tool roundup kubernetes vs. docker vs. heat vs. terra form vs...Nati Shalom
Video recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGlIgUeoGz8
It’s no news that containers represent a portable unit of deployment, and OpenStack has proven an ideal environment for running container workloads. However, where it usually becomes more complex is that many times an application is often built out of multiple containers. What’s more, setting up a cluster of container images can be fairly cumbersome because you need to make one container aware of another and expose intimate details that are required for them to communicate which is not trivial especially if they’re not on the same host.
These scenarios have instigated the demand for some kind of orchestrator. The list of container orchestrators is growing fairly fast. This session will compare the different orchestation projects out there - from Heat to Kubernetes to TOSCA - and help you choose the right tool for the job.

OpenStack Juno The Complete Lowdown and Tales from the SummitNati Shalom
This presentation covers the main points from the summit and the OpenStack Juno release
It also covers how users use OpenStack based on the recent survey
Application and Network Orchestration using Heat & ToscaNati Shalom
The buzzwords Neutron, Heat, and TOSCA are spoken about quite often when it comes to the OpenStack - and many of us are still trying to make sense of the terminology and its place in the OpenStack world.
Where OpenStack Neutron provides APIs for creating network elements, OpenStack Heat provides an orchestration engine for automating the setup and configuration of OpenStack infrastructure, while TOSCA is a standard for templating and defining application topology and policies (that form the basis for Heat). In this context, it really makes sense to put these all together to achieve application and network automation for OpenStack on steroids.
In this session we will learn how we can use the robust combination of Heat and TOSCA to configure and control resources on Nova and Neutron in order to automate the network configuration as part of the application deployment.
The session will include a demo and code examples that show how you can configure virtual networks, attach public IPs, set up security groups, set up load balancing and automatically scale up/down and more. You will leave this session understanding where Neutron meets Heat and TOSCA.
This talk was delivered as part of OpenStack Paris summit - 2014 - http://openstacksummitnovember2014paris.sched.org/event/2b85b682ccaf3a5961e463b61e2403f8#.VFeuG_TF8mc
During the past few years we’ve seen how our entire data-center becomes software defined. This include the Compute, Storage, Network and also Configuration. This new data centre is the cloud.
The missing piece in the puzzle:
While this is pretty much old news there is one big thing that is missing in this puzzle and that is the operator itself.
The operator is responsible for running processes such:
* Installation of new apps
* Upgrades and update of new features or patches
* Performance tuning
* Handling failure
* Managing the capacity to meet the scaling demand.
Most of those tasks today involves lots of human intervention. Users who realised that gap try to mitigate that by putting their own custom automation - usually that comes in a form of scripts on-top of the configuration management. Those custom scripts tend to grow fairly quickly to the point where they become unmanageable.
This presentation will introduce how we can use an orchestrator to automate those tasks and by that create a software defined Operator.
Complex Analytics with NoSQL Data Store in Real TimeNati Shalom
NOSQL are often limited in the type of queries that they can support due to the distributed nature of the data. In this session we would learn patterns on how we can overcome this limitation and combine multiple query semantics with NoSQL based engines.
We will demonstrate specifically a combination of key/value, SQL like, Document model and Graph based queries as well as more advanced topic such as handling partial update and query through projection. We will also demonstrate how we can create a meshaup between those API's i.e. write fast through Key/Value API and execute complex queries on that same data through SQL query.

Is Orchestration the Next Big Thing in DevOpsNati Shalom
DevOps processes (such as continuous deployment and delivery) often involve writing many custom scripts that are triggered by the build system. With that approach, it is relatively hard to trace the deployment process and troubleshoot when something goes wrong. Additionally, custom scripts are often not written in an easily understood manner. In this session we will walk through specific DevOps workflows (such as install, update, etc) using Riemann as the framework in subject and see the steps required to automate those processes. We will also discuss how Cloudify uses Riemann to provide simple execution and monitoring of those workflow processes. We will share how one customer, PaddyPower, was able to leverage Cloudify to transition their traditional IT into a DevOps environment, bridging the gap betwe
When networks meets apps (open stack atlanta)Nati Shalom
Recent advancements in OpenStack capabilities have made the cloud better tuned to enterprise needs by introducing much more flexible network designs and networking services, with the tradeoff of making the cloud more complex.
In this session we will describe how we can leverage the power of the new networking advancement without exposing the complexity to the end user. We will present alternative approaches and their tradeoffs for automating the deployment of a typical n-tier enterprise application that include multi-tenant environment, separate network for admin and applications, cross region network, attach a floating IP, setup security groups etc. all through a combination of Heat, TOSCA, Chef, Puppet, and more.
The experience of automating continuous delivery processes with Chef and Cloudify through an application-centric approach to DevOps, and how this model transformed PaddyPower's traditional IT into DevOps, keeping their Devs and their Ops happy.

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).

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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
