Linux VDI with OpenStack – How to Deliver Linux Virtual Desktops on DemandLeostream
It’s no secret that Linux has a loyal fan-base across the development community and industries such as government, engineering, and oil & gas. But, when it comes to VDI, the operating system often gets the short end of the stick.
How can you lower IT costs when applications run on a Linux operating system? How can you handle a mixture of Windows and Linux in a hosted environment? And, how do you ensure a seamless end-user experience, while maximizing resource usage and minimizing downtime?
The truth is, Linux VDI doesn’t have to be hard. You can create a virtual Linux environment that provides an efficient way to access hosted resources on centrally managed servers. By combining the Leostream Connection Broker with a high-performance protocol, managing a hosted Linux environment can be as simple, seamless, and powerful as a hosted Windows environment.

There have been heaping piles of buzz surrounding Ceph and OpenStack lately. Similar amounts of work have been going in to the integration between Ceph and OpenStack in recent versions. We'll take a look at how this work is making all the awesomeness of Ceph available to users in a simple, intuitive, and powerful way. The world of Havana and beyond is certainly no different, and promises to continue the trend of both functionality and buzz-worthiness.
This talk given at the OpenStack meetup in Boston (Aug 14, 2013) gives a brief introduction to Ceph for the uninitiated and take a look at what's coming down the road. The short term of Havana has plenty to keep fans of both platforms happy and busy, but there are plenty more interesting problems that we can tackle. In addition to the concrete of the short term we'll take a look at how less-oft-used pieces of the Ceph platform can help augment your OpenStack setup, some general blue sky thinking, and what the community can do to get involved.
OpenStack is open source software for creating private and public clouds. It controls large pools of computing, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter. The main OpenStack projects are Nova for computing as a service, which manages the lifecycle of virtual machine instances; and other projects that provide services like object storage, block storage, networking, and a dashboard. OpenStack uses a variety of virtualization technologies and works with popular enterprise and open source platforms.
There is a growing trend today of enterprises leveraging both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and on-premise OpenStack-based private clouds. However, the default networking option in OpenStack remains broken and the plethora of confusing plug-ins makes networking in OpenStack mysterious and difficult to manage.
Enter MidoNet, the open source network virtualization solution from Midokura favored by DevOps cultures in web scale enterprises and service providers around the world. This session will present case studies from several end user deployments, showing how they use MidoNet to build, run and manage large-scale virtual networks in OpenStack clouds. The session will also discuss how transitioning from a public to private cloud enables organizations to accomplish much more with the same resources, without over-simplifying the inherent complexity of running an OpenStack cloud.

Developing and Deploying Java applications on the Amazon Elastic Compute Clou...Chris Richardson
Traditionally, computer hardware was a scarce, expensive resource. Running performance tests often meant scavenging for machines around the office. Today, however, things are different. With Amazon's EC2, a cluster of servers is now just a web service call away. In this presentation you will learn about design and implementation of Cloud Tools, which is a Groovy-based framework for deploying and testing Java EE applications on EC2. This framework provides a simple (internal) DSL for configuring a cluster (database + web container + apache), deploying a web application, and running performance tests using JMeter. You will learn about capabilities of EC2 and how to use it for development and deployment. We describe how we use Amazon S3 to work around EC2's lack of a persistent file system and avoid time-consuming uploads of WAR files.
The cloud gives you the ability to manage your IT more effectively. All this means that you can focus on your core business and stop worrying about your IT infrastructure. No wonder it is quite a tantalizing option!
#CCevent Cloud is awesome but not as flexible as you thinkPete Johnson
Cloud computing is historically touted for its flexibility, but is it really? In this deck, originally used at the Cloud Solutions Theater at Cloud Connect '13, the first wave of public cloud providers is examined along with a more flexible, easier to use, and better performing way of doing things.
This document discusses how cloud architectures can be optimized for flexibility. It outlines how early cloud platforms lacked flexibility, forcing customers to pay for unused capacity and making scaling and pricing complex. However, newer cloud platforms now offer more flexible and customizable options that allow vertical scaling without rebooting, drag-and-drop deployments, and transparent pricing models. These newer platforms give customers more control over resources and make cloud computing easier to use at lower costs.
The document discusses issues with memory and garbage collection in Java applications. It notes that the practical heap size for most Java applications has stagnated at around 2GB for the past decade, due to garbage collection pauses above this size. The document introduces Azul Systems and their Zing virtualization platform, which aims to eliminate garbage collection as a limiting factor through techniques like concurrent and parallel garbage collection that can support heaps up to 100GB without long pauses. It discusses various performance aspects of concurrent garbage collection like sensitivity to workload, heap population, and mutation rate.
This document provides an overview of a presentation by Advanced Systems Group on top technology trends for virtualization. It discusses flash storage technologies, the importance of disaster recovery (DR), and architecting for the cloud. The presentation covers various flash storage options and their performance characteristics. It emphasizes the need for DR to address hardware failures, data corruption, and natural disasters. It also discusses best practices for virtualization including cluster sizing, resource allocation, and security considerations for virtual machines.
ENT401 Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Applications in the AWS Cloud...Amazon Web Services
Oracle Hyperion applications - Essbase, Planning and Financial Management (Consolidation) - are the most widely-used financial analytic applications in the world. They all experience extreme peaks in usage, primarily during period-end close. Few corporate IT operations provision enough server capacity to provide good response time to Finance Departments during these close periods, which tends to make a challenging time even more difficult. Because of these factors, Hyperion applications are ideally suited for cloud computing in an enterprise setting. Join Larry Hill from Full 360 to discuss his firm’s deep experience with the benefits and best practices related to this or key workload running in the Amazon cloud.
The document discusses clustering the issue tracking application Jira using Terracotta. It identifies common challenges in clustering Java applications, such as files, caches, threads and HTTP sessions. It describes how Terracotta was used to cluster Lucene indexes, home-grown caches and services in Jira. Distributed and shared services were implemented using Terracotta APIs. The session state was left unclustered for simplicity. External plugins were made cluster-aware through new APIs. In summary, clustering Jira required decisions around distributing data vs behavior and providing thread safety while leveraging Terracotta for transparency.
Hadoop clusters can be provisioned quickly and easily on virtual infrastructure using techniques like linked clones and thin provisioning. This allows Hadoop to leverage capabilities of virtualization like high availability, resource controls, and re-using spare resources. Shared storage like SAN is useful for VM images and metadata, while local disks provide scalable bandwidth for HDFS data. Virtualizing Hadoop simplifies operations and enables flexible, on-demand provisioning of Hadoop clusters.
