Introduction to Containers - From Docker to Kubernetes and everything in betweenAll Things Open
Presented at: Open Source 101 2020 - Columbia, SC
Presented by: Brent Laster, SAS
Abstract: In this workshop, students will get a quick overview of what containers are and why they form the basis for many of the key technologies that we use today in cloud environments.
We’ll explore what makes up a container and how they are managed and leveraged in key industry tooling including Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and Istio. You’ll also learn the basics of these technologies, what they are used for, and see some simple examples of how to use them.
This workshop will include hands-on labs where you will get experience:
- Building container images, running them as containers, and tagging and pushing them into a Docker repository.
- Creating deployments, services, and pods for containers and instantiating and running those in Kubernetes.
- Working with Helm to leverage templates for Kubernetes objects and managing releases in Kubernetes.
- Working with Istio to do traffic shaping between multiple versions of your app, fault and delay injection for testing and validation in Kubernetes.
We’ll also briefly cover GitOps – the recommend Git-based way to manage infrastructure like your Kubernetes cluster.
Securing Applications and Pipelines on a Container PlatformAll Things Open
Presented at: Open Source 101 at Home
Presented by: Veer Muchandi, Red Hat Inc
Abstract: While everyone wants to do Containers and Kubernetes, they don’t know what they are getting into from Security perspective. This session intends to take you from “I don’t know what I don’t know” to “I know what I don’t know”. This helps you to make informed choices on Application Security.
Kubernetes as a Container Platform is becoming a de facto for every enterprise. In my interactions with enterprises adopting container platform, I come across common questions:
- How does application security work on this platform? What all do I need to secure?
- How do I implement security in pipelines?
- What about vulnerabilities discovered at a later point in time?
- What are newer technologies like Istio Service Mesh bring to table?
In this session, I will be addressing these commonly asked questions that every enterprise trying to adopt an Enterprise Kubernetes Platform needs to know so that they can make informed decisions.

Testing fácil con Docker: Gestiona dependencias y unifica entornosMicael Gallego
Docker es una tecnología que permite empaquetar el software de forma que se pueda ejecutar de forma sencilla y rápida, sin instalación y en cualquier sistema operativo. Es como tener cualquier programa instalado en su propia máquina virtual, pero arranca mucho más rápido y consume menos recursos. Docker está cambiando la forma en la que desplegamos software, pero también está afectando al propio proceso de desarrollo y particularmente al testing.
En este taller pondremos en práctica cómo usar Docker para facilitar la implementación de diferentes tipos de tests y su ejecución tanto en el portátil como en el entorno de integración continua. Aunque las técnicas que veremos se podrán aplicar en cualquier lenguaje de programación, los ejemplos estarán basados en Java y en JavaScript.

Back to the Future: Containerize Legacy ApplicationsDocker, Inc.
People typically think of Docker for microservices and try to make the smallest container they can. There are tremendous benefits to a microservices model but those are not the only apps that qualify for containers. Traditional, homegrown, monolithic apps are also great candidates for Docker - why? By containerizing these apps, many of the same agility, portability, security and cost savings benefits can be applied to the hundreds (if not thousands) of apps in your datacenters. But where to begin? Attend this session to learn how to approach modernizing traditional apps (MTA), considerations, the available tools and possibilities.

Presented at All Things Open 2020
Abstract: Many enterprises and, as many of us learned during the COVID-19 outbreak, governments, rely on mainframes to do the bulk of their data-driven work and the modern mainframe is very good at what it does. But what if you’re looking to modernize your platform and bring in the DevOps methodologies, tooling, and practice into your organization?
Today, there is an entire product line of mainframes that exclusively run Linux (RHEL, SLES, or Ubuntu). With Linux, you get access to the vast ecosystem of open source software that’s already been ported to the mainframe architecture (s390x), with more being ported every month.
If your organization is using z/OS, the Open Mainframe Project has a series of open source projects targeted specifically at the mainframe and improving usability. Zowe, for instance, helps create a consolidated API for accessing resources and workload on your system and Feilong is a z/VM connector that allows you to manage your virtual machines with familiar open source tooling like OpenStack. There are even connectors for Jenkins that allow you to integrate CI/CD pipelines with your workloads.
In this talk I’ll explore all of this in more to show you how an automated, modern environment can thrive on today’s mainframe.

Talk Description:
In this talk we will discuss how we enabled decomposition of one of our 250+ system components into a continously deployed microservice cluster.
This includes building a standardized Docker server composed of various local companion services along side the Docker daemon including: dynamic service discovery via Consul, a log relay to a centralized Elasticsearch cluster, and forwarding/batching of Dropwizard metrics to Graphite.
Building on this we'll cover our Jenkins driven automated pipeline for building Docker images and rolling deployments via Ansible using static placement on existing infrastructure while prototyping dynamic placement using Docker + Apache Mesos.

The basics - Introduction to Containers and Orchestrators (May 18th, 2020)
by Rauno De Pasquale (Newesis), supported by Cristiano Degiorgis (Deltatre)
A new version of the introduction to containers and orchestrator, done for the series of events "Kubernetes - The Deltatre way".
Knowing the context and concepts behind container use is essential to be able to proceed on the path that will lead to master Kubernetes and Cloud Native applications. This initial session is about basic skills to answer questions such as: what is a container image? Why did anyone feel the need for an orchestrator? Are there any alternatives to Docker and Kubernetes? How does working with containers and Kubernetes connect to traditional virtualization? The session aims to provide the basic skills to be able to guide yourself in the next sessions where the ways of creating and execution of applications in Kubernetes environment will be tackled.

What's Docker and How to use?
This presentation and demo will help you understand the basic concepts of Docker and the use cases.
Reference: https://github.com/snese/docker101-examples
Wouldn't it be great for a new developer on your team to have their dev environment totally set up on their first day? What about having your CI tests running in the background while you work on new features? What about having the confidence that your dev environment mirrors testing and prod? Containers enable this to become reality, along with other great benefits like keeping dependencies nice and tidy and making packaged code easier to share. Come learn about the ways containers can help you build and ship software easily.
Docker is in all the news and this talk presents you the technology and shows you how to leverage it to build your applications according to the 12 factor application model.

Docker is in all the news and this talk presents you the technology and shows you how to leverage it to build your applications according to the 12 factor application model.
What do the terms serverless, containers, and virtual machines mean? Which should I use to build my app? The answer (as always) is "it depends." In this session learn the tradeoffs between these different approaches, whether you're building your app from scratch or want to move an existing web or mobile application to the cloud. We'll discuss open source tools such as Kubernetes, Istio, and Knative, and we'll discuss Google Cloud Platform tools like Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), App Engine, and Cloud Functions.

Title: Open Source and Public Policy
Abstract: New regulations in the software industry and adjacent areas such as AI, open science, open data, and open education are on the rise around the world. Cyber Security, societal impact of AI, data and privacy are paramount issues for legislators globally. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic drove collaborative development to unprecedented levels and took Open Source software, open research, open content and data from mainstream to main stage, creating tension between public benefit and citizen safety and security as legislators struggle to find a balance between open collaboration and protecting citizens.
Historically, the open source software community and foundations supporting its work have not engaged in policy discussions. Moving forward, thoughtful development of these important public policies whilst not harming our complex ecosystems requires an understanding of how our ecosystem operates. Ensuring stakeholders without historic benefit of representation in those discussions becomes paramount to that end.
Please join our open discussion with open policy stakeholders working constructively on current open policy topics. Our panelists will provide a view into how oss foundations and other open domain allies are now rising to this new challenge as well as seizing the opportunity to influence positive changes to the public’s benefit.
Topics: Public Policy, Open Science, Open Education, current legislation in the US and EU, US interest in OSS sustainability, intro to the Open Policy Alliance

Weaving Microservices into a Unified GraphQL Schema with graph-quilt - Ashpak...All Things Open
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Ashpak Shaikh & Lucy Shen - Intuit
Title: Weaving Microservices into a Unified GraphQL Schema with graph-quilt
Abstract: The magic of GraphQL is that it provides data access through a single endpoint—clean and easy. But as the number of GraphQL microservices your tech stack depends on starts to grow, that single-endpoint purpose becomes a new multi-endpoint problem. Ideally, we would have an orchestrator that could aggregate schemas from multiple microservices into a unified GraphQL schema and route the requests to the appropriate microservice.
Enter graph-quilt, an open source Java library that provides recursive schema stitching and Apollo Federation style schema composition. In this talk, we’ll walk through our GraphQL journey and show you how to use graph-quilt to simplify your data orchestration needs. We will also share our open sourced reference implementation of a highly performant graph-quilt gateway currently being used in production here at Intuit, where we’ve had incredible success in scaling the gateway with 50+ microservices and 150+ clients.

Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Phil Nash - Sonar
Title: The State of Passwordless Auth on the Web
Abstract: Can we get rid of passwords yet? They make for a poor user experience and users are notoriously bad with them. The advent of WebAuthn has brought a passwordless world closer, but where do we really stand?
In this talk we'll explore the current user experience of WebAuthn and the requirements a user has to fulfil to authenticate without a password. We'll also explore the fallbacks and safeguards we can use to make the password experience better and more secure. By the end of the session you'll have a vision of how authentication could look in the future and a blueprint for how to build the best auth experience today.

Total ReDoS: The dangers of regex in JavaScriptAll Things Open
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Phil Nash - Sonar
Title: Total ReDoS: The dangers of regex in JavaScript
Abstract: Regular expressions are complicated and can be hard to learn. On top of that, they can also be a security risk; writing the wrong pattern can open your application up to denial of service attacks. One token out of place and you invite in the dreaded ReDoS.
But how can a regular expression cause this? In this talk we’ll track down the patterns that can cause this trouble, explain why they are an issue and propose ways to fix them now and avoid them in the future. Together we’ll demystify these powerful search patterns and keep your application safe from expressions that behave in a way that is anything but regular.

Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Paul Brebner - Instaclustr (by Spot by NetApp)
Title: Spinning Your Drones with Cadence Workflows, Apache Kafka and TensorFlow
Abstract: In this talk we’ll build a Drone delivery application, and then use it to do some Machine Learning “on the fly”.
In the 1st part of the talk, we'll build a real-time Drone Delivery demonstration application using a combination of two open-source technologies: Uber’s Cadence (for stateful, scheduled, long-running workflows), and Apache Kafka (for fast streaming data).
With up to 2,000 (simulated) drones and deliveries in progress at once this application generates a vast flow of spatio-temporal data.
In the 2nd part of the talk, we'll use this platform to explore Machine Learning (ML) over streaming and drifting Kafka data with TensorFlow to try and predict which shops will be busy in advance.

Title: Scaling Web Applications with Background Jobs: Takeaways from Generating a Huge PDF
Abstract: Do you need to perform time-consuming or CPU-intensive processes in your web application but are concerned about performance? That’s where background jobs come in. By offloading resource-intensive tasks to separate worker processes, you can improve the scalability of your web application.
In this talk, I'll share my experience of using background jobs to scale our web application. I'll discuss the challenges my team faced that led us to adopt background jobs. Then, I'll share practical tips on how to design background jobs for CPU-intensive or time-consuming processes, such as generating huge PDFs and batch emailing. I'll wrap up by going over the performance and cost tradeoffs of background jobs.
I'll use Typescript, Express, and Heroku as examples in this talk, but the concepts and best practices that I'll share are applicable to other languages and tools.

Abstract: sandbox.bio is a free platform that features interactive command-line tutorials for bioinformatics. This talk is a deep-dive into how sandbox.bio was built, with a focus on how WebAssembly enabled bringing command-line tools like awk and grep to the web. Although these tools were originally written in C/C++, they all run directly in the browser, thanks to WebAssembly! And since the computations run on each user's computer, this makes the application highly scalable and cost-effective.
Along the way, I'll discuss how WebAssembly works and how to get started using it in your own applications. The talk will also cover more advanced WebAssembly features such as threads and SIMD, and will end with a discussion of WebAssembly's benefits and pitfalls (it's a powerful technology, but it's not always the right tool!).

Title: Using SQL to Find Needles in Haystacks
Abstract: Database journal files capture every update to a database. A database of a few hundred GB can generate GBs worth of journal files every minute at busy times. Troubleshooting and forensices, especially of rare and intermittent problems, such as which process made what update and when, is an exercise of finding needles in haystacks. A similar problem exists with syslogs. A solution is to load the journal files and syslogs into a database, and use SQL to query the database. Bhaskar will present and demonstrate this with a 100% FOSS stack.

Title: Scaling an Open Source Sponsorship Program
Abstract: We already know this: the open-source ecosystem needs further monetary investment from the companies that benefit most from it. Likewise, companies say they want to participate in these initiatives, but find it hard to dedicate resources to open source funding when there isn’t a clear ROI.
This talk discusses how the Open Source Program Office at Stripe built a scalable, sustainable open source sponsorship model that aligns internal company incentives with those of open source maintainers and the community at large. We go over the unique “platformization” of our OSPO that allowed us to create multiple funding models, such as BYOB (Bring Your Own Budget), and share lessons learned from this experience as well as other OSPOs.

Build Developer Experience Teams for Open SourceAll Things Open
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Arundeep Nagaraj - Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Title: Build Developer Experience Teams for Open Source
Abstract: Open Source has become the default strategy for many IT organizations and Enterprises. However, the constant challenge with Open Source leaders of these organizations has been -
How is my product's developer experience?
Is this the right metric to track?
How can I scale my team to support our products better?
How can I add automation to scale redundant workflows?
If my product involves working with developers, how can I scale to the complexity of the requests and reduce Engineering bandwidth?
The challenges within support of open source products continues to magnify depending on the end user persona whether they are consumers or contributors to your product. Consumers utilize your product, SDK's and API's and are blocked with using it or run into issues, whereas contributors are advanced users of your software that understands the codebase to provide a meaningful contribution back to the product.
The answer to the above is to look at Open Source support as a first-class citizen of your corporate support strategy. To employ the right level of developer focused support as opposed to traditional infrastructure based support is key to scale to the amount of developers using your product. Supporting customers in the open involves more than pure support - building customer / developer experiences (DX) in the open (across platforms and communities) that pivots over the ability of your product's users or developers to be focused on the end-to-end value add. This helps with your active developer growth and retention of users.
Key Takeaways:
- IT leaders of Open Source will learn to employ strategies to build a DX team that engages on multiple platforms
- Work on identifying accurate metrics for product and organization
- Innovate on platforms such as Discord to build a bot and a dashboard
- Ability to leverage customer feedback and iterate over the customer success flywheel
- Distinguish between DX and Developer Advocacy (DA)

Sudo – Giving access while staying in controlAll Things Open
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Peter Czanik - One Identity
Title: Sudo – Giving access while staying in control
Abstract: Sudo is used by millions to control and log administrator access to systems, but using the default configuration only, there are plenty of blind spots. Using the latest features in sudo let you watch some previously blind spots and control access to them. Here are four major new features, which arrived since the 1.9.0 release, allowing you see your blind spots:
- configuring a working directory or chroot within sudo often makes full shell access redundant
- JSON-formatted logs give you more details on events and are easier to act on
- relays in sudo_logsrvd make session recording collection more secure and reliable
- you can log and control sub-commands executed by the command run through sudo
Let us take a closer look at each of these.
Previously, there were quite a few situations where you had to give users full shell access through sudo. Typical examples include when you need to run a command from a given directory, or running commands in a chroot environment. You can now configure the working directory or the chroot directory and give access only to the command the user really needs.
Logging is a central role of sudo, to see who did what on the system. Using JSON-formatted log messages gives you even more information about events. What is even more: structured logs are easier to act on. Setting up alerting for suspicious events is much easier when you have a single parser to configure for any kind of sudo logs. You can collect sudo logs not only by local syslog, but also by using sudo_logsrvd, the same application used to collect session recordings.
Speaking of session recordings: instead of using a single central server, you can now have multiple levels of sudo_logsrvd relays between the client and the final destination. This allows session collection even if the central server is unavailable, providing you with additional security. It also makes your network configuration simpler.
Finally, you can log sub-commands executed from the command started through sudo. You can see commands started from a shell. No more unnoticed shell access from text editors. Best of all: you can also intercept sub-commands.
These are just a few of the most prominent features helping you to watch and control previous blind spots on your systems. See these and other possibilities in action in some live demos during our presentation.

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!

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.

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.
