F5 EMEA Webinar Oct'15: http2 how to ease the transitionDmitry Tikhovich
HTTP/2 is here. It improves the way browsers and servers communicate, allowing for faster transfer of information. Today’s websites use many different components besides standard HTML, including design elements, client-side scripting, images, video, and flash animations. To transfer that information, a browser has to create several connections, putting a huge load on both the server delivering the content and the browser, which can lead to a slowdown as more and more elements are added to a site.

Securing Internal Applications with Cloudflare AccessCloudflare
Securing internal applications for remote employees and contractors is cumbersome to deploy and maintain, missing granular access controls, and slow for users on mobile devices. Join this live webinar to learn how Cloudflare Access protects internal resources by securing, authenticating and monitoring access per-user and by application. With Cloudflare Access, only authenticated users with the required permissions are able to access specific resources behind the Cloudflare edge. Support for existing identity providers such as GSuite and Okta ensures the right users have easy and instant access regardless of physical location. By enforcing access rules at the edge, Cloudflare reduces latency for users.
Why Many Websites are still Insecure (and How to Fix Them)Cloudflare
The latest version of the transport layer security (TLS) protocol was launched at the end of 2017, and version 1.3 proposes the largest change with improvements to performance and security. However, there has not been widespread adoption of this protocol which leaves many users exposed to data and privacy breaches. In this webinar, we will look at the new developments in TLS and SSL, why the internet needs better security and the technical challenges of good encryption.
How CDNs Can improve Mobile Application PerformanceCloudflare
Two to four seconds. That’s about as long as many consumers will wait for web pages to load before abandoning your page, research shows. Content Delivery Networks (CDN) can help dramatically improve your site’s load times and performance. But what can they do to improve the performance of mobile applications? This is especially problematic when users are connecting from subpar or congested cellular networks which are often beyond the reach of traditional CDN provider POPs. In this webinar, learn how traditional CDN providers operate, and the challenges with delivering to mobile users.

Today, the development and operations landscape has shifted to a more collaborative model merging the two (DevOps). Developers need to know much more about the operational components of their software - especially around network programming, services development, and continuous deployment. Likewise, the developer's IT counterpart needs to know much more about development - especially around infrastructure automation (Chef/Puppet), automated testing, and continuous deployment.

At Adobe APIs are powering the next generation of Creative applications.
Mesos makes it very easy and fun to deploy and run Robust and Scalable Microservices in the Cloud. Today's technologies offer simple solutions to create RESTfull services while Mesos brings them to life faster.
As the number of microservices increase and the inter communication between them becomes more complicated, we soon realize we have new questions awaiting our answers: how do microservices authenticate ? how do we monitor who's using the APIs they expose ? How do we protect them from attacks ? How do we set throttling and rate limiting rules across a cluster of microservices ? How do we control which service allows public access and which one we want to keep private ? How about Mesos APIs and its frameworks ? Can they benefit from these features as well ?
Come and learn a scalable architecture to manage microservices in Mesos by integrating an API Management layer inside your Mesos clusters. This presentation will show you what an API Management layer is, what it's composed of and how it can help you expose microservices in a secure,managed and highly-available way, even in multi-Mesos cluster setups.
During this session you will also have the opportunity to learn how Adobe's API Platform solved this problem, where it is today and what it envisions do to with Mesos further.
If you're working with microservices already or you're creating new ones then this presentation is for you. Come and learn how Mesos together with an API management layer will make you a microservices hero in your organisation. At Adobe APIs are powering the next generation of Creative applications.
This set of slides showcases how you can interact with PowerVC via its OpenStack-based REST APIs. It also demonstrates how to mimic the REST APIs made from your web browser in familiar command line utilities like curl.

This session will discuss why Node.js is right for micro-services, introduce the best practices for building scalable deployments, and show you how to monitor and profile your applications to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks.
Burn down the silos! Helping dev and ops gel on high availability websitesLindsay Holmwood
HA websites are where the rubber meets the road - at 200km/h. Traditional separation of dev and ops just doesn't cut it.
Everything is related to everything. Code relies on performant and resilient infrastructure, but highly performant infrastructure will only get a poorly written application so far. Worse still, root cause analysis in HA sites will more often than not identify problems that don't clearly belong to either devs or ops.
The two options are collaborate or die.
This talk will introduce 3 core principles for improving collaboration between operations and development teams: consistency, repeatability, and visibility. These principles will be investigated with real world case studies and associated technologies audience members can start using now. In particular, there will be a focus on:
- fast provisioning of test environments with configuration management
- reliable and repeatable automated deployments
- application and infrastructure visibility with statistics collection, logging, and visualisation
Automating it management with Puppet + ServiceNowPuppet
As the leading IT Service Management and IT Operations Management platform in the marketplace, ServiceNow is used by many organizations to address everything from self service IT requests to Change, Incident and Problem Management. The strength of the platform is in the workflows and processes that are built around the shared data model, represented in the CMDB. This provides the ‘single source of truth’ for the organization.
Puppet Enterprise is a leading automation platform focused on the IT Configuration Management and Compliance space. Puppet Enterprise has a unique perspective on the state of systems being managed, constantly being updated and kept accurate as part of the regular Puppet operation. Puppet Enterprise is the automation engine ensuring that the environment stays consistent and in compliance.
In this webinar, we will explore how to maximize the value of both solutions, with Puppet Enterprise automating the actions required to drive a change, and ServiceNow governing the process around that change, from definition to approval. We will introduce and demonstrate several published integration points between the two solutions, in the areas of Self-Service Infrastructure, Enriched Change Management and Automated Incident Registration.

Editor's Notes
Let’s think about this, 30 times more often and 8000 times faster, resulting in 12 times faster success and restore rates. F5 is seeing is customers split off specific groups to focus on the DevOps mindset.
This solution is intended to allow VMware environments (using either vSphere + vCNS, or vSphere + vCNS + vCloud Director) to provision the necessary L4-7 application delivery networking services much more rapidly and efficiently than before.
If using vCD, you get the self-service functionality. ADN services become part of the natural vCD provisioning workflow, and rely on the same services consumer/producer model that vCD uses.
F5 is a “design partner” of VMware’s vCloud Ecosystem Framework program – and we are the first to do this type of integration.
All of the BIG-IP functionality is available through this integration (local load balancing, global load balancing, web application security, web application acceleration, WAN optimization, etc.)
Customers can use their legacy BIG-IP equipment – no new purchases required.
This integration works with both physical BIG-IP hardware or BIG-IP virtual editions running on vSphere.

Traditional use cases were Client, Mobile, or Application to API Server
REST enables easier adoption/integration for Cloud Controllers, ADCs, and Network components.
Twitter currently has traffic in excess of 13 Billion API calls a day – definitely not a fad.
Think auditing, fat fingering of resources on the wrong network segment, etc.
Operational cost will not got down when employing Virtualization without automation.
If you can cookie-cutter everything, forecasting budget becomes infinitely easier.
I can build out/replicate prod/dev/qa in a single swoop.
