TopConf : DevOps Monitoring: Feedback Loops in Enterprise EnvironmentsJonah Kowall
Enterprises do not have the benefit of starting from scratch, they must implement DevOps in an existing environment, often managing heritage investments along with fast moving projects. The monitoring tools unfortunately fall into the same category. These complex, dated, and costly monitoring tools don’t meet today’s needs in providing the visibility required for agile development that leverage continuous delivery and DevOps. Not only are the tools an issue, but the visibility and approaches are also problematic.
The use of open source tools has been the de facto approach for DevOps, but this approach comes with it’s own set of challenges in terms of managing a complex stack of tools with varying quality of support/community. The move to a metrics-driven feedback loop enables teams to act fast at any stage of the product lifecycle. We will outline common technology stacks and approaches using graphite, statsd, and collectd along with nagios, munin, and other system monitoring tools. We will also outline commercial solutions, and how these tools tend to fall into silos as well.
Monitoring must be reformed with new platforms and technologies, fitting specific design patterns which meet the needs of DevOps teams, these will be outlined and explained from a requirements perspective, providing a roadmap for how to apply these learnings inside your company. Join this session to take back an evolved approach to unified monitoring and how you can get your company to be metrics driven
Attendees of this session will walk away with a clear understanding of:
Understanding today’s tooling limitations
Open source tool sprawl issues
Fundamental patterns of monitoring
How these will be solved in the future

Startup financing options in china by boyd jones - 02.28.12 v.1.0 - ms pptmikemichelini
There are limited options for early-stage venture capital in China compared to Silicon Valley due to lack of infrastructure to support startups. Entrepreneurs should initially bootstrap and seek funding from friends, family, and fools before pursuing angel investors, accelerators, incubators, and events. Later options include seeking Chinese venture capital by demonstrating traction or going abroad to access resources in Silicon Valley, Singapore, and other locations. The conclusion emphasizes there are no shortcuts and startups require full-time dedication and hard work over time to succeed.

The document introduces the concept of a business model and distinguishes it from a business plan. It defines a business model as describing how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value using nine building blocks: customer segments, value propositions, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partnerships, and cost structure. These building blocks cover four main areas of a business: customers, offer, infrastructure, and financial viability. The document then provides a deeper dive into each of the nine business model building blocks and shows an example of how they apply to Skype's "freemium" business model.
