Enterprise Java on Microsoft Azure: From Java EE to Spring, we’ve got you cov...Ed Burns
Ed Burns brings his seventeen years of server side Java experience to bear on the topic of Enterprise Java on Microsoft Azure. Before the advent of cloud infrastructure, the stack was the main thing. This gave rise to many entertaining platform wars, and even personality feuds among the principals. Spring or J2EE? Spring MVC or JSF (or Struts/Wicket/Tapestry/WebWork...)? Spring REST or JAX-RS? Spring DI or CDI? Spring Boot or MicroProfile? Single-vendor proprietary de-facto standard or multi-vendor community developed standard? Ed has seen these "wars" come and go, and even fought in some of them. While "wars" make for great conference talks, blog posts, and articles, at the end of the day creating business value is the whole point of enterprise Java. Ed contends that nowadays, the cloud vendor is the main thing, and the best cloud vendor is one that best supports "all of the above", from lift and shift of existing workloads, to lift and modernize, on through to turn-key PaaS solutions.
This session will briefly survey the history of enterprise Java to establish the need for an "all of the above" enterprise cloud platform, examine some ways enterprises can use the current offerings from Microsoft Azure, and give a peek into what's in store in the near future.
How to run your startup on Amazon Web Services, by Alex IskoldAlex Iskold
A detailed overview of the benefits and technology behind Amazon Web Services stack. The presentation discusses general and specific use cases for each web service.
Amazon Web Services Building Blocks for Drupal Applications and HostingAcquia
Cloud computing offers many advantages and challenges for hosting Drupal sites. Acquia Hosting is a highly available cloud-based hosting platform tuned for Drupal performance and scalability. Acquia Hosting built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), takes advantage of an industry leading cloud-computing platform to provide the highest levels of security, fault-tolerance and operational controls possible in the cloud. This Webinar, featuring Barry Jaspan, Senior Architect at Acquia and Jeff Barr, Senior Evangelist Amazon Web Services, discusses how Amazon's Web Services can help Drupal site developers and managers solve common but vexing problems, including scaling. The Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) components will be discussed in detail.
In addition we will discuss specific best practices for:
* Creating a high-performance, high-availability Drupal tuned hosting environment on AWS
* Load balancing: Elastic IP vs. Elastic Load Balancing
* Handling user-uploaded files with multiple web nodes
* Achieving true high-availability with multiple availability zones
* Choosing between Amazon Relational Database Service and building it yourself
* Configuring and managing your cloud servers
Scalable Object Storage with Apache CloudStack and Apache HadoopChiradeep Vittal

We will discuss how Apache CloudStack integrates Object Storage solutions and discuss specifically how HDFS (a part of Apache Hadoop) can provide the storage engine for the Object Storage component
OSCON2014: Understanding Hypervisor Selection in Apache CloudStackTim Mackey
A presented at OSCON 2014, this deck covers the matrix of capabilities each supported hypervisor brings to the Apache CloudStack table when building a cloud.
CloudOpen Japan - Controlling the cost of your first cloudTim Mackey
As presented at CloudOpen Japan in Tokyo in 2015.
Today everyone is talking about clouds, and some are building them, but far fewer are operating successful clouds. In this session we'll examine a variety of paradigm shifts must IT make when moving from a traditional virtualization and management mindset to operating a successful cloud. For most organizations, without careful planning the hype of a cloud solution can quickly overcome its capabilities and existing best practices can combine to create the worst possible cloud scenario -- a cloud which isn't economical to operate, and which is more cumbersome to manage than a traditional virtualization farm. Key topics covered will include; transitioning the operational paradigm, the impact of VM density on operations and network management, and preventing storage cost from outpacing requirements.
Os AWSome Days são baseados no Curso AWS Essentials e o conduzirá em um aprofundamento (passo a passo) na gama de serviços AWS, tais como: Computação, Armazenamento, Banco de Dados e Redes. No final da sessão, você estará apto a construir aplicativos escaláveis e seguros na nuvem da AWS.
Practical advice on deployment and management of enterprise workloadsJarek Miszczyk
Paris OpenStack Summit Session
In this session, we share the hands-on, practical experiences that we gained by implementing the end-to-end strategy for deployment and management of popular traditional Enterprise Workloads into on-premise, off-premise, and hybrid clouds.
This presentation is loaded with real life examples that you can immediately apply in your organization.
Specifically, we will cover the following topics:
-> How to take advantage of the latest Heat enhancements to combine the deployment of cloud infrastructure with the deployment of a software solution using the SoftwareConfig and SoftwareDeploy resources. We illustrate how different types of Heat resources are coordinated to stand up the entire software stack in a synchronized manner.
-> What are the best practices for annotating HOT templates with policies needed to enforce High Availability, autoscaling, and load balancing
-> How the extended scheduler can be used to support topology-aware placement, and placement that minimizes the software license cost to your organization
-> How to maintain one set of OpenStack golden images by installing the Heat tool chain at the deployment time rather than baking them into the image. This allows us to use the same images for both Heat and direct nova deployments.
User Transparent Service Migration to the CloudTim Mackey
While creating a cloud such as OpenStack is fairly easy, template management is more challenging. In this session we discuss how systems engineering and tooling can be combined to allow legacy infrastructure and virtual machines to be converted to templates without downtime. These templates can then be deployed within the cloud and users migrated with minimal interruption. This deck is as delivered at CloudOpen 2015 in Seattle.

[Capitole du Libre] #serverless - mettez-le en oeuvre dans votre entreprise...Ludovic Piot
Tout comme le Cloud IaaS avant lui, le serverless promet de faciliter le succès de vos projets en accélérant le Time to Market et en fluidifiant les relations entre Devs et Ops.
Mais sa mise en œuvre au sein d’une entreprise reste complexe et coûteuse.
Après 2 ans à mettre en place des plateformes managées de ce type, nous partagons nos expériences de ce qu’il faut faire pour mettre en œuvre du serverless en entreprise, en évitant les douleurs et en limitant les contraintes au maximum.
Tout d’abord l’architecture technique, avec 2 implémentations très différentes : Kubernetes et Helm d’un côté, Clever Cloud on-premise de l’autre.
Ensuite, la mise en place et l’utilisation d’OpenFaaS. Comment tester et versionner du Function as a Service. Mais aussi les problématiques de blue/green deployment, de rolling update, d’A/B testing. Comment diagnostiquer rapidement les dépendances et les communications entre services.
Enfin, en abordant les sujets chers à la production : * vulnerability management et patch management, * hétérogénéïté du parc, * monitoring et alerting, * gestion des stacks obsolètes, etc.

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.
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.

5. Cloud Deployment Model
► Public
> Available to general public
► Private
> Available to only one organization
6. Why Cloud: Economics
► Public Cloud:
> Pay only what you need (Pay-as-you-go) (Public Cloud)
> No CapEx
> Handle load peaks cheaply
> Transparent cost model
► Private Cloud:
> Better Resource Utilization
8. Why Cloud: Business Agility
► From development to production with
just one click
Adrian Colyer (CTO VMware):
► Much faster Customers want Business Agility –
even if it means higher prices
► Much simpler
► Application scales automatically
> Higher load means more resources
are used automatically
► Create a test environment with just
one click
> Production-like sizing Werner Vogels (CTO Amazon):
Amazon Cloud is the answer to
> Cheaply (only paid
Amazon developers spending 70% of
during the test) their time with scalability and
technology
10. Why Cloud ? Platform of the Next Generation
► Based on cheap commodity technologies
► No costly high available hardware
► Individual server may fail
► Network may fail
► But:
► Data and application can be held redundantly in
multiple data centers
► Automatic distribution
► Starting new computers trivial
► Cheap systems with high availability and high
data durability
► Just like Google, Amazon, Facebook...
► Needs different architectures
12. So, let me get started
► Get an account at an IaaS provider
► …or virtualize your data center and create a self service portal
► Install your (Java EE) environment
► Install your (Java) application
► Done
► Wow, that was easy!
13. That is not enough
► How do you deal with peaks? Need more app server instances
► The server instances must be shut down after the peak
► …otherwise you would pay for them
► Traditional middleware does not allow for that
► Elastic scaling
► Individual nodes fail – deal with it!
► RBMS prefer scale up (larger server)
► In the cloud it is easier to scale out (more server)
► That is why Amazon and Google use NoSQL / key-value stores
14. What you will eventually come up with
► A tool to take an Application
App
► …and create a VM with all needed infrastructure etc
► Dynamically i.e. scale up and down
► Need tools to
> Install software
> Manage infrastructure
> Configure infrastructure
> Set up user etc
► Puppet, Chef etc.
► Like a factory for VMs
► Works on Private Cloud, Public Cloud or your VM VM
local machine
15. Advantages of IaaS Approach
► Very flexible
► Works for any IaaS and any software to be installed
► Works for complex environments with many infrastructure pieces
> Install a database server, some Tomcats, a load balancer and a cache
server
> Install your own and totally proprietary special solution
> Fine tune all the parameters
► Can deploy different parts of the application to special nodes
► But often developers just want a platform to run applications on
► No fine tuning
► Standardized and uniform services
► Also: Developers need other non-Java-EE services
18. PaaS
► Platform as a service (PaaS) is the delivery of a computing platform and solution
stack as a service.
19. PaaS: Advantages and Disadvantages
§ Advantages
• Easier to use than IaaS: You would need to install a server anyway
• Automatic scaling
– Resources automatically added
• Can offer additional service
• Tuned for Cloud
• Technical e.g. data store, messaging, GUI elements
• …but IaaS does the same (Amazon)
§ Disadvantages
• Less flexible
• Pre-defined programming model
• Defines environment
• Programming model might be different
• Hard to learn & port existing code
21. Google App Engine
► Pioneer: Very early in the market
► Supports Java, Pyhton, Go (beta)
► For Java: Very restrictive environment
> Java classes white list
> Limited sandbox
> Focus on NoSQL while typical Java applications use RDBMS
> Limited Preview: Cloud SQL (MySQL)
> Limit on start up time of application etc
> Limit on response time (30 seconds)
> No control or access to operating system
> Can’t change configuration of the web server
► Benefits?
► Specialized frameworks have been created (Gaelyk for Groovy)
► Recently changed pricing
23. Amazon Web Services
