This document discusses improving rollback capabilities in Linux via a domain specific language (DSL) approach and distributing data. It presents an overview of rollback, different types of rollback, and challenges. The authors propose using a DSL to model package maintainer scripts to better support rollback. The DSL would be logged and used to drive an automated rollback. Distributed data storage via peer-to-peer networks is also proposed to share rollback logs and package state information. The overall goal is to build a framework enabling transactionally protected package management including reliable rollback.

Small HPC clusters are widely used in many small labs since they are easy to build and cost-effective. When more power is needed, instead of adding costly new nodes to old clusters, we may try to make use of the idle times of some servers in the same building, that work independently for their own purposes, especially during the night. However such extension across a firewall raises not only some security
problem but also a load balancing problem caused by heterogeneity of the resulting system. In this paper,
we devise a method to solve such problems using only old techniques applicable to our old cluster systems
as is, without requiring any upgrade for hardware or software. We also discuss about how to deal with heterogeneity and load balancing in application, using a two-queue overflow queuing network problem as a sample problem.

During 10 years of working with technical sales of Industrial Linux systems I have often been meet with a somewhat religious technical discussion about "which" Linux to use and currently the discussion is normally Debian vs. Yocto based Linux.
This white paper have been made primarily for managers, sales and purchasers regarding the overall (and not to technical deep) differences between Debian and Yocto based Linux usage in industrial applications.
The content of the white paper is build on the my and my colleagues own experiences, based on development of more than 100 Industrial Linux solutions and probably discussion of more than 250 Linux solutions with customers over a period of 10 years at Prevas A/S.
Big data processing using HPCC Systems Above and Beyond HadoopHPCC Systems
Presentation delivered at Boston Data Festival September 2015. Data-intensive computing represents a new computing paradigm to address Big Data processing requirements using high-performance architectures supporting scalable parallel processing to allow government, commercial organizations, and research environments to process massive amounts of data and implement new applications previously thought to be impractical or infeasible. The fundamental challenges of data-intensive computing are managing and processing exponentially growing data volumes, significantly reducing associated data analysis cycles to support practical, timely applications, and developing new algorithms which can scale to search and process massive amounts of data. The open source HPCC (High-Performance Computing Cluster) Systems platform offers a unified approach to Big Data processing requirements: (1) a scalable, integrated computer systems hardware and software architecture designed for parallel processing of data-intensive computing applications, and (2) a new programming paradigm in the form of a high-level, declarative, data-centric programming language designed specifically for big data processing. This presentation explores the challenges of data-intensive computing from a programming perspective, and describes the ECL programming language and the HPCC architecture designed for data-intensive computing applications. HPCC is an alternative to the Hadoop platform, and ECL is compared to Pig Latin, a high-level language developed for the Hadoop MapReduce architecture.
The Why and How of HPC-Cloud Hybrids with OpenStack - Lev Lafayette, Universi...OpenStack
Audience Level
Intermediate
Synopsis
High performance computing and cloud computing have traditionally been seen as separate solutions to separate problems, dealing with issues of performance and flexibility respectively. In a diverse research environment however, both sets of compute requirements can occur. In addition to the administrative benefits in combining both requirements into a single unified system, opportunities are provided for incremental expansion.
The deployment of the Spartan cloud-HPC hybrid system at the University of Melbourne last year is an example of such a design. Despite its small size, it has attracted international attention due to its design features. This presentation, in addition to providing a grounding on why one would wish to build an HPC-cloud hybrid system and the results of the deployment, provides a complete technical overview of the design from the ground up, as well as problems encountered and planned future developments.
Speaker Bio
Lev Lafayette is the HPC and Training Officer at the University of Melbourne. Prior to that he worked at the Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing for several years in a similar role.
"In the beginning there was RPM, and it was good." Certainly, Linux packaging has solved many of the problems involved in shipping software, from creation to consumption and maintenance. As software development and deployment have evolved, however, new pain points have cropped up that have not been solved by traditional packaging tools.
Are containers the answer? They may be able to solve many of the current problems, but they also introduce a new set of issues and ignore important lessons from the evolution of distribution-level packaging.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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).

In terms of package configuration,
“roll-back is the process of inverting the changes to the
system made by package upgrades to get back to a
particular system state.”

Different types of roll-back
Conary, a 2nd Generation Package Manager, aims to
improve current meta-installers. Used in Linux
distributions such as Foresight Linux.
Augeas, is a configuration management tool that
makes manipulating config files much easier
ZFS, used by Nexenta is an example of a file-system,
snapshot mechanism to snapshot several system states.
NixOS, a revolutionary system that re-thinks how files
and resources are used to make them purely functional
Other mechanisms e.g. etckeeper being developed by
Fedora also try and capture configuration files into a
VCS. BTRFS – another snapshot based mechanism.

Drawbacks of the various approaches
File-system Snapshot based mechanisms
– Capture state of the whole system → down to individual files
– Agnostic of packages
– Granularity is not well matched for packages
Package Based
– Same as installing an older version
– Maintain configurations and settings
System Call based
– Syscall trapping - records changes to the file-system
– Capturing files alone is not always enough
Aim is to combine the complimentary parts of these systems
to cover a wide range of situations and events

Difficulties of Roll-back
Package maintainers and developers tend to think in the
forward direction of upgrading packages
Working in the reverse direction is a relatively unheard of
concept. Think of a toy slinky
Downgrade is counter-intuitive
Already have been done if it was necessary?
Rolling-back changes is 'only' needed when a package fails
to work on the system
There may be cases where roll-back is impossible using
the techniques that we have investigated, or possibly at all

Roll-back is one part of a bigger picture
Ability to undo package upgrade/install is just one benefit of
having a system that can capture the package configuration
state and maintain a deterministic, state transition model of
the system.
By examining the current maintainer scripts and templates
provided by deb/rpm-helper, we defined a language that
assists with problems not addressed now by meta-installers.
Transactionaly Protected Package Management (TPPM) is
what we are aiming to move towards.

12. Energia Open Source
Advantages and benefits of Roll-back/TPPM
By building a framework in which R/B + TPPM is possible we
can capture the functional elements of maintainer scripts
Error Detection
Simulate/test the results of
an upgrade on a model of system
Detect errors a-priori or
potential 'slow' errors after upgrades
Detect/(correct) sequencing orders in package installations
Roll-back
Framework → drive roll-back. Now provide more information
to a roll-back utility than available to current meta-installers
Identify which packages can/cannot perform roll-back
Allow individual packages to change versions and show the
dependencies for those changes

Domain Specific Language (DSL) -package upgrades
Our DSL is a language used to abstract from the system and
model to solve particular, identified problems
In our case, the DSL is focused on analysing package
maintainer scripts
Designed not to be a Turing Complete Language like BASH
but rather something which can resolve problems
It is an evolutionary language designed to capture the details
of the vast majority of common maintainer scripts
Increase the coverage of DSL by examining new scripts
Many thanks to University of L'Aquila for their creation of the
language and for their support in using it

System Integration
For roll-back we will have a log of
Apt the DSL commands executed in-
sequence
model_simulator (( ))
model_simulator
Perform roll-back → run inverse
statements associated with those
DSL_rollback_pre (( ))
DSL_rollback_pre commands in 'reverse' order
Have the simulator to pre-check if
run_transaction ()
run_transaction () the package configuration can be
rolled-back; whether it will leave it
DSL_rollback_post (( ))
in an erroneus state
DSL_rollback_post
Performing LIFO style roll-back we
run post commands before we run
the pre statements

Domain Specific Language (DSL) Example
The DSL has been created to assist with some of the
problems discovered and analysed by prior research
Using cups.spec %post example from CUPS-1.4.2
%post
dslstart postinst_init(cups)
/sbin/chkconfig add cups Matched DSL Pair
/sbin/chkconfig cups on
dslstop postinst_init(cups)
# Restart cupsd if we are upgrading...
dslstart post_init_restart(cups)
if test $1 gt 1; then
/sbin/service cups stop Matched DSL Pair
/sbin/service cups start

dslstop post_init_restart(cups)

Transactions- what happens if a maintainer
script fails?
If a maintainer script fails in the middle of one of the
operations will have a log like this
dslID TID parentID DSL_CMD bhINVERSE
1 1 1 start postinst_init(cups) TRUE
2 1 1 stop postinst_init(cups) TRUE
3 1 1 start post_init_restart(cups) TRUE
Transaction has quite obviously failed. No matching end for a
DSL command reached. Odd number of elements etc.
Perform a roll-back for all matching sub-transaction ID
elements, but in the reverse order with certain constraints.
If a set of script elements cannot perform roll-back in the
middle of operating, then don't create a dsl tag.

Performing the roll-back
Identify the sub-transaction/package upgrade to roll-back.
Check that all commands in the database have an inverse for
the particular transaction.
Run them in reverse-operation order.
dslstart postinst_init(cups) [1]
dslstop postinst_init(cups) [2]
dslstart post_init_restart(cups) [3] //Restart not needed postrm
becomes
postrm_init_restart(cups) [3] //Remove nonneeded element
prerm_init_stop(cups) [4] //From lookup table.
prerm_init(cups) [1+2]
In other cases the order might be [3,2,1]. Identified by tags.

Conclusion
The need for Roll-back of packages is growing
Not a trivial problem
Need to consider the problems of
complex upgrade paths
Using the DSL we aim to remove
a lot of the failure cases in
package upgrades.
