Apache Spark is the backbone of Workday's Prism Analytics Platform, supporting various data processing use-cases such as Data Ingestion, Preparation(Cleaning, Transformation & Publishing) and Discovery. At Workday, we extend Spark OSS repo and build custom Spark releases covering our custom patches on the top of Spark OSS patches. Custom Spark release development introduces the challenges when supporting multiple Spark versions against to a single repo and dealing with large numbers of customers, each of which can execute their own long-running Spark Applications. When building the custom Spark releases and new Spark features, dedicated Benchmark pipeline is also important to catch performance regression by running the standard TPC-H & TPC-DS queries against to both Spark versions and monitoring Spark driver & executors' runtime behaviors before production. At deployment phase, we also follow progressive roll-out plan leveraged by Feature Toggles used to enable/disable the new Spark features at the runtime. As part of our development lifecycle, Feature Toggles help on various use cases such as selection of Spark compile-time and runtime versions, running test pipelines against to both Spark versions on the build pipeline and supporting progressive roll-out deployment when dealing with large numbers of customers and long-running Spark Applications. On the other hand, executed Spark queries' operation level runtime behaviors are important for debugging and troubleshooting. Incoming Spark release is going to introduce new SQL Rest API exposing executed queries' operation level runtime metrics and we transform them to queryable Hive tables in order to track operation level runtime behaviors per executed query. In the light of these, this session aims to cover Spark feature development lifecycle at Workday by covering custom Spark Upgrade model, Benchmark & Monitoring Pipeline and Spark Runtime Metrics Pipeline details through used patterns and technologies step by step.
Apache Spark Development Lifecycle @ Workday - ApacheCon 2020Eren Avşaroğulları
Workday uses Apache Spark as the foundational technology for its Prism Analytics product. It has developed a custom Spark upgrade model to handle upgrading Spark across its multi-tenant environment.

DevOps Continuous Testing and LaaS – The Perfect Match for SDNSailaja Tennati
Without continuous testing there is no continuous delivery. Everyone in DevOps talks about continuous integration and continuous delivery but those are just two ends of the DevOps pipeline. In the middle of DevOpsis continuous testing (CT), and many organizations are struggling to implement continuous testing effectively. Lab-As-A- Service (LaaS) enhances CT with dynamic on-demand self-serve test topologies. CT together with LAAS make a powerful combination that perfectly serves complex software development and delivery pipelines.
Software Defined Networks (SDNs) turn the network into a flexible configurable system of software components and connections which is powerful but presents new complexities and challenges for network software development, delivery and deployments.
This talk explains how DevOps best practices for continuous testing when combined with LaaS are make an excellent combination to accelerate SDN realization and operations. The talk describes people, process and products required for SDN continuous testing and online self-service continuous lab and testing services.
Best Practices for Accelerating Continuous TestingSailaja Tennati
The document outlines seven best practices for accelerating continuous testing (CT): 1) make CT comprehensive and focus on results, 2) test fast and don't stop the testing pipeline for failures, 3) use powerful, relevant tests, 4) shift testing left to earlier phases, 5) foster a CT-ready culture and infrastructure, 6) integrate CT-ready tools across the pipeline, and 7) accelerate test execution with analytics. It provides examples of how following these practices improved release cycles and defect rates for a case study client.

Today’s satellite navigation systems rely on constellations of satellites operating in medium earth orbits in several orbital planes. Each satellite broadcasts a signal containing orbital data and the precise time at which the signal was broadcast. The precise time is generated by a very accurate atomic clock on board the satellite. A satellite navigation receiver is able to determine its position very accurately from this information, if it is receiving signals from four or more satellites simultaneously. There are two types of satellite navigation system currently deployed – Regional Satellite Systems (RSS) or Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).
A cyber attack on the GNSS system could exploit the RF channels used by Receivers for GNSS signal reception, alternatively it could also (at least as easily) exploit the channel used by a Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) system to report its position.
Once it is understood that the evolution of GNSS threats does not only have clear parallels with the way that IP threats have evolved, but shares many of the features of a connected network, it can be seen that many of the lessons learned by the Information Security community apply equally as well to the GNSS community.
