Old Tech to Shiny New Tech: Strategies on Upgrading Your Code Without a Big BangCristina Ruth
Over the years, old code gets harder to maintain, and we start missing out on new capabilities and features from new technology. But, resources are usually limited, and we don't usually get around to doing these upgrades. How do we convert an app, like WebForms, to an MVC app on a limited budget and shippable increments without major issues?
In this session, we'll talk through some strategies on how to accomplish this and release something every sprint, and slowly – but surely – get our apps fully converted to that new tech.
What is IFTTT?
IFTTT stands for If This Then That.
It is a web-based service that allows users to create chains of simple conditional statements, called “recipes”, which are triggered based on changes to other web services such as Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.
In simple terms, what it does is it takes services from two different application and connects them together.
It automates almost any task in your daily life and just makes you so much efficient.
The core outcome of this webinar is to find out what derailment is, how it can be spotted early on in ourselves and our peers or team members, and how we can work on preventing and managing it.
Through an online assessment, we will be able to identify our own derailers. It’s very non-judgmental; more like finding out our own blind spots and containing them so they do not come in our way to success.

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.
How to optimize cloud and virtual infrastructure resource utilization, manage the sprawl, troubleshoot and control cost.
IT administrators and managers need a comprehensive strategy to optimize and manage their infrastructure as a service (IaaS).
Zimory White Paper: Challenges Implementing an IaaS Cloud ExchangeZimory
The idea of a cloud exchange is a much discussed topic within academic and high-performance computing circles (see Breest, 2007; Buyya, Ranjan, & Calheiros, 2009). The discussion can vary widely based on the type of cloud service being discussed.
Cloud services are commonly divided into three types: IaaS, platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) (Liu et al., n d). There are several SaaS solutions and services in the marketplace that claim to deliver a cloud brokerage or exchange, however these services integrate SaaS offerings in the cloud rather than the buying and selling of services in their respective domains. This means that a SaaS cloud broker can more accurately be described as an integrator of SaaS services. This offering is completely different from an IaaS exchange from both a business and technical standpoint.
The goal of an IaaS cloud exchange is to create a distributed infrastructure in which different components are interchangeable. Controlled by the cloud exchange, the distributed infrastructure not only increases technical capabilities – such as availability and resilience – it also allows consumers to make economic decisions regarding scheduling workloads. While this is valuable to customers, it also increases the technical complexity of an IaaS cloud exchange compared to SaaS. This complexity means there are currently more SaaS services available than IaaS Cloud exchange services.
The remainder of this paper discusses the challenges, requirements and technology for an IaaS cloud exchange.

Luckily the effort to set all this up correctly can be minimized by using open-source software to set up cloud services correctly.
Here we will demonstrate the techniques the open-source Convox uses to set up microservices correctly from day one.
We'll demonstrate some simple Docker Compose configuration files that describe common microservice patterns. Then we'll demonstrate how this configuration is translated into a fully-automated production-ready microservice architecture on AWS.
When you're migrating applications and data to the cloud, you want to use the cloud services that best meet your needs so your migration goes as smoothly as possible. In order to ensure you get the most out of the cloud once migrated, you need to know that you are getting as many of the advantages of the cloud as possible.

DevOps is not enough - Embedding DevOps in a broader contextUwe Friedrichsen
As the subtitle says, this talk tries to embed DevOps in a broader context. Therefore first briefly is sketched, how the state of IT is perceived by many people in IT. Additionally, DevOps is briefly defined by explaining the three ways as they were described in the book "The Phoenix Project".
After this short introduction the claim of the title is picked up: "Why is DevOps not enough?". In order to explain this claim, the history of economic markets and of IT are briefly explained. The bottomline is that almost all markets supported by IT have drastically changed in the years since IT became relevant for companies. Additionally, IT itself has changed dramatically in this period of time. Therefore, most of the common knowledge and best practices, we stick to in IT became counter-productive meanwhile because they solve a completely different problem, i.e., the problems of the times when the markets and IT itself were totally different.
The conclusion from the short examination of history is that we basically have to re-think IT as a whole, which is discussed briefly in the next section of the talk. This section first has a look at the new drivers that inflict change on IT. Then it derives the new goals of IT and shows some of the building blocks.
Having this new idea of IT at hand, the role of DevOps in it is finally considered. Starting with DevOps and its continuous pursuit of shortening cycle times in order to optimize outcome, DevOps can be used to drive the change of IT. This is exemplarily shown by starting with DevOps and then see, which question arise from that and what solutions it leads to. In the end of the example, many of the building blocks of the new IT are in place - just by starting with DevOps and continuously improving.
This is a very dense talk covering a lot of ground in order to lead to the final observation that DevOps can (and should) be used to drive the required change of IT and many detail have been left out. Also the voice track is missing of course, but I still hope that it provides you with some useful information.

Webinar - Accomplishing More with Social Media - 2015-08-06TechSoup
Visit http://www.techsoup.org for donated technology for nonprofits and libraries!
The Internet changed the world in the mid 90's and social media is changing it again in the new decade. Today's social media platforms (from LinkedIn, to Facebook, Twitter, and the blogosphere), offer extraordinary capabilities and unique opportunities which can bring about significant business and personal benefits.
However, many organizations and users are not realizing these benefits, either a) getting caught up in the social media "chatter" and spending too much time in these platforms with little or no returns, b) not fully leveraging the capabilities of these platforms, or c) writing them off all together as irrelevant or unimportant — the place where people post what they had for lunch.
Whatever our view is on social media, the reality is that 100s of millions of users are engaged in these platforms, and this large user-base includes many of our customers, donors, employees, partners, colleagues, friends, and family members.
It is imperative then that we better understand these platforms, become skilled at using them, and learn how to fully leverage them. In this session, we explore their capabilities, and discuss ways in which we can use them strategically and purposefully, to achieve significant business and personal results.
Key Takeaways:
-- If you are new to social media, this session will provide you with everything you need to get started including demonstrations of each of the platforms.
-- If you are already using these platforms, you will gain additional insights into how to use them more strategically and purposefully.
-- In addition (as an extra bonus), you will learn about the Results Curve™, and how it can help you in managing social media and other interrupting technologies such as email and Instant Messaging.
