CAPS: What's best for deploying and managing OpenStack? Chef vs. Ansible vs. ...Daniel Krook
Presentation at the OpenStack Summit in Tokyo, Japan on October 29, 2015.
http://sched.co/49vI
This talk will cover the pros and cons of four different OpenStack deployment mechanisms. Puppet, Chef, Ansible, and Salt for OpenStack all claim to make it much easier to configure and maintain hundreds of OpenStack deployment resources. With the advent of large-scale, highly available OpenStack deployments spread across multiple global regions, the choice of which deployment methodology to use has become more and more relevant.
Beyond the initial day-one deployment, when it comes to the day-two and beyond questions of updating and upgrading existing OpenStack deployments, it becomes all the more important choose the right tool.
Come join the Bluebox and IBM team to discuss the pros and cons of these approaches. We look at each of these four tools in depth, explore their design and function, and determine which scores higher than others to address your particular deployment needs.

All the troubles you get into when setting up a production ready Kubernetes c...Jimmy Lu
Have you ever try to set up a Kubernetes cluster manually by your own? It may be a small dish to you to set one up on your laptop. However, things are getting harder and harder once you have more nodes to handle, not to mention you also want security, monitoring, auto-scaling, and federated cluster enabled in the production environments. With more features added, the situation gets even worse and more complicated. We developers in Linker Networks had put in a tremendous amount of time in investigating on how to set up Kubernetes clusters efficiently. We designed and built our own tools to automate and facilitate such the painful processes. In this talk, I'll go through all the details and pitfalls in setting up a production ready cluster. Hopefully, the experience I shared could keep you out of these troubles, saving your precious time.

From the Amazon Web Services Singapore & Malaysia Summits 2015 Track 1 Breakout, 'The Journey to Digital Enterprise' Presented by Daniel Angelucci, CTO, CSC AMEA
The modern IT stack has become diverse and distributed, and it’s increasingly challenging to manage heterogeneous platforms and multi-vendor devices. Customers are looking to the cloud and APM to help address these hurdles, as well as accelerate IT transformation.
But migrating to the cloud will take time, it won’t make infrastructure ‘just disappear’, and legacy workloads are going to remain part of the enterprise reality for many. In addition, while APM will continue to be increasingly important, all applications are not the same and an application is still not equal to a digital business service.
Watch this webinar as John Worthington, a service management expert and Director of Product Marketing for eG Innovations, continues our Shift-Left series. You can learn:
• Why domain expertise is important when defining monitoring requirements
• What analytics are useful from a monitoring and observability context
• How end-to-end monitoring with converged application and infrastructure performance can drive ITSM and DevOps integration

What are we going to do about all these legacy applications? Kubernetes, Docker or Server Core? With Habitat it doesn’t matter anymore! As companies make the transition from traditional IT infrastructure to cloud-native container platforms packaging, deploying and managing applications becomes the focus for developers and operators. Having a consistent approach to managing dependencies and building applications brings stability to CI/CD pipelines and frees developers to prioritize on features. Automated, repeatable builds with immutable artifacts and consistent management of any application on any platform allow operators to focus on stability and speed. Chef's Habitat project brings all of this together in an open source automation platform that enables modern application teams to build, deploy, and run any application in any environment - from traditional data-centers to containerized microservices. This presentation provided an overview of the benefits of Habitat and a live demo of applications being built and deployed on traditional operating systems across Docker and Kubernetes, seamlessly.

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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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.

Applications
Complexity Budget:
● Pick (at least) one from each layer
● Write your application to it
● Let that be 100% complexity
● Automate all of it; let that be 100% of the original complexity
● Add an additional 50% for emergent conditions you hadn’t thought of yet

8. • Scale and services unlock ability to move faster
• Cloud is not inherently more reliable
• Operate with assumption of ephemeral infrastructure
• Easier to re-deploy and move ahead than to solve for
root-cause of failures
Cloud Brings Further Complexity
