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

Deployment Automation on OpenStack with TOSCA and CloudifyCloudify Community
TOSCA (Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications) is an emerging standard for modeling complete application stacks and automating their deployment and management. It’s been discussed in the context of OpenStack for quite some time, mostly around Heat. In this session we’ll discuss what TOSCA is all about, why it makes sense in the context of OpenStack, and how we can take it farther up the stack to handle complete applications, both during and after deployment, on top of OpenStack.
The Cloud offers real opportunities for full DevOps culture with everything automated and silo free. To make these opportunities come true, one needs to go beyond a simple siloed approach that assumes the IaaS setup is separate from the middleware setup, and altogether different than application deployment.
There is a need for automation of all processes, across layers using a customized workflow approach.
In this talk we will suggest modeling of such workflows and architecture to execute them.

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
It has long been debated whether OpenStack is production ready. In this session you will learn how a major bank has gone to production with more than 5000 VMs that delivered the results of a 40% decrease in cost, reduced deployment time to hours not weeks, 56 new technologies introduced, 7 new platforms launched - all in under a year. Learn how their platform built on Rackspace and RHEL, coupled with best of breed open source tooling - SaltStack, Jenkins, Cloudify, and Nexus are the enablers for production-grade OpenStack.

Kirin User Story: Migrating Mission Critical Applications to OpenStack Privat...Motoki Kakinuma
NTT Data is an IT service company.
Kirin is one of the largest beverages companies in Japan.
In this presentation, we will present the user story of migrating all applications from creaky infrastructure to OpenStack private cloud including actual challenges, know-hows and future prospects.
The key concept of this project is:
* Mission Critical: Migrate all Kirin enterprise applications to OpenStack private cloud.
* Think Big, Start Small: Start from small number of apps, and expand rapidly.
* Agility and elasticity: Adopt a PaaS-like automation approach, targeting 50% less development cost and 40% less operational cost.
In order to achieve all items above, we have decided to use OpenStack IaaS, ICO, which is an automation product by IBM, serverspec for testing, and Hinemos for monitoring management.
Starting from Aug 2014, the project expects 100 VM / 100 TB storage as the first-stage migration by end of 2015. We're planning to migrate 500 VM / 300 TB by end of 2016 and 2000 VM / 1 PB finally.
Protecting Yourself from the Container ShakeoutMirantis
Keynote by Boris Renski, Co-Founder and CMO of Mirantis, and Lachlan Evenson, Team Lead of Cloud Platform Engineering at Lithium Technologies, at OpenStack Silicon Valley 2015.
The Docker-fueled container craze is much less of a threat to VMs or OpenStack than it is to PaaS vendors. The story of “do it the way Google does it” is proving just as tough to monetize with enterprises as commodity cloud was. Boris will talk about OpenStack as a “safe harbor” from the coming container shakeout, leveraging the project’s maturity as a place to try various container strategies until the winner emerges.
Lachlan Evenson of Lithium will join Boris to share how Lithium deployed Kubernetes on OpenStack.
Considerations for Your Next Cloud Project – CloudForms & OpenStack Do’s and Don’ts
In this Session we will discuss Organizational and Operational Considerations on how to move into Infrastructure as a Service Environments and showcase how Enterprises today address different aspects of Cloud Management.
Focus of this session is on Design and Operational Aspects of running an Open Hybrid Cloud. The session will also touch on Process and Organizational Aspects.
After two years, CloudStack Meetup was conducted on Aug 6 to understand the simplicity of Cloudstack, Drill-down into Optional Secondary Storage, How it fares with Openstack
and a Detailed demo of VPC feature of Cloudstack
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.
Open Source Docs: The Good, The Bad, and the WTF?!Lana Brindley
Open source documentation is generally awful, often frightening, and sometimes it’s just outright weird. In this discussion, I will show you examples from the entire spectrum of open source documentation, in an effort to try and help you avoid some of the worst mistakes made by others before you. We will discuss why documentation is important for open source projects, and how to go about getting it written, and written well, without making too much of a fool out of yourself.

Transitioning to the Next Generation Hybrid Cloud Operating Model- AWS Summit...Amazon Web Services
AWS provides many services to assist customers with their journey to the cloud. Hybrid solutions offer customers a way to continue leveraging existing investments on-premises, while expanding their footprint into the public cloud. This session covers the different technologies available to support hybrid architectures on AWS. We discuss common patterns and anti-patterns for solving enterprise workloads across a hybrid environment.
DEVNET-1008 Private or Public or Hybrid ? Which Cloud Should I choose?Cisco DevNet
With the advent of cloud computing, the choices for delivery and consumption of applications have drastically increased. With choices comes complexity. Enterprises often find themselves struggling to decide if public, private or hybrid cloud is the best choice for their needs. This session will talk about the pros and cons of public, private and hybrid cloud. It will also describe how Cisco Intercloud Fabric (ICF) can provide the best of both worlds.
In this session, we explore different approaches to migrating Microsoft applications to AWS. We walk through important considerations when planning a migration, and we show how to develop and implement a migration plan to move applications from on-premises (or traditional hosting) to AWS. We use a case study format to dive deep into successfully planning an application migration. Participants work in teams to plan a SharePoint migration that integrates with an existing Active Directory.
Continuous Integration and Deployment Best Practices on AWS (ARC307) | AWS re...Amazon Web Services
With AWS, companies now have the ability to develop and run their applications with speed and flexibility like never before.

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.

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.

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.

Real-Time Big Data at In-Memory Speed, Using StormNati Shalom
Storm, a popular framework from Twitter, is used for real-time event processing. The challenge presented is how to manage the state of your real-time data processing at all times. In addition, you need Storm to integrate with your batch processing system (such as Hadoop) in a consistent manner.
This session will demonstrate how to integrate Storm with an in-memory database/grid, and explore various strategies for integrating the data grid with Hadoop and Cassandra, seamlessly. By achieving smooth integration with consistent management, you will be able to easily manage all the tiers of you Big Data stack in a consistent and effective way.

Disaster Recovery on Demand on the CloudNati Shalom
How to avoid Cloud Outages and leverage cloud economics to keep the cost down through automation of disaster recovery processes and on-demand deployment of the backup nodes.
The massive computing and storage resources that are needed to support big data applications make cloud environments an ideal fit. In this session, you'll learn how to build your big data "database on-demand" using MongoDB, Cassandra, Solr, MySQL, or any other big data solution, as well as manage your big data application using a new open source framework called “Cloudify.” All this, on top of the OpenStack cloud.
Building cross-region and cross could high availability into your app, a real life use case by Gigaspaces, Nati Shalom, Funder & CTO, Gigaspaces
Achieving high levels of availability and disaster recovery in a cloud environment requires the implementation of patterns and practices that introduce redundancy through multi-zone, multi-region, and multi-cloud deployments. As we move towards implementing higher availability, we cannot escape the direct increase in the accidental complexity of the deployment architecture resulting from lack of cloud portability and deployment lifecycle automation. We present how high availability and disaster recovery were achieved in reality by using the Cloudify open source framework on top of AWS. This approach applies to not just AWS but also other public clouds and private cloud environments such as Eucalyptus. The resulting reference architecture provides portable PostgreSQL replication and disaster recovery as well as application tier scalability across zones, regions, and public/private clouds through a unified deployment workflow.
Adopting Hadoop to manage your Big Data is an important step, but not the end-solution to your Big Data challenges. Here are some of the additional considerations you must face:
Choosing the right cloud for the job: The massive computing and storage resources that are needed to support Big Data applications make cloud environments an ideal fit, and more than ever, there is a growing number of choices of cloud infrastructure types and providers. Given the diverse options, and the dynamic environments involved, it becomes ever more important to maintain the flexibility for all your IT needs.
Big Data is a complex beast: It involves many and different moving parts, in large clusters, and is continually growing and evolving. Managing such an environment manually is not a viable option. The question is, how can you achieve automation of all this complexity?
The world beyond Hadoop: Big Data is not just Hadoop – there is a whole rapidly growing ecosystem to contend with, including NoSQL, data processing, analytics tools… As well as your own application services. How can you manage deployment, configuration, scaling and failover of all the different pieces, in a consistent way?
In this session, you'll learn how to deploy and manage your Hadoop cluster on any Cloud, as well as manage the rest of your big data application stack using a new open source framework called Cloudify.
Scaling and Managing Big Data Apps in the CloudNati Shalom
Title: Scaling and Managing Big Data Apps on Public Clouds
Abstract: The massive computing and storage resources that are needed to support big data applications make on-demand, elastic cloud environments an ideal fit. However, managing your big data app on the cloud is no walk in the park - configuration, orchestration, H/A, auto-scaling are all quite complex when it comes to choosing the right cloud for you, whether it’s public, private or a hybrid cloud - which is where Cloudify and Eucalyptus come together. In this session, you'll learn how to deploy, manage, monitor and scale your big data apps on the open source Eucalyptus cloud platform using Cloudify, as well as easily test drive your apps locally and then migrate the workload to Amazon Web Services EC2.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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.
