A simple setup to build a private or public cloud.
A cloud at the IaaS layer is simply a cluster of hypervisors with some added storage infrastructure and software to orchestrate everything. In this presentation we show some straightfoward DELL hardware that could be purchased to build a single rack as the basic for a private or public cloud. It totals $100k and coupled with open source software: cloudstack, ceph, glusterfs, nfs etc is the basis for your cloud.
You will get a AWS compatible cloud in no-time and with limited acquisition cost.
Guaranteeing Storage Performance by Mike Tutkowskibuildacloud
This session will introduce the basics of primary storage in CloudStack. Additionally, I discuss the challenges of guaranteeing storage performance in a cloud and how by leveraging the latest enhancements to CloudStack, storage administrators can deliver consistent, repeatable performance to 10s, 100s or 1,000s of application workloads in parallel. I'll review the CloudStack enhancements in detail, outline the management benefits they provide and discuss common go-to-market approaches.

Thoughts about how to use CloudStack to develop a Big Data Solution in your data center.
Cloud as a virtual machine infrastructure and Big Data are converging as two key technical evolution in the data center. Virtualization enables multi-tenancy, heterogenous Operating systems and added security via isolation. Clouds like AWS EC2, Rackspace, or google GCE are good examples. Big Data tackles the challenge of the increase scale (amount) and complexity (type) of data faced in the enterprise. While Compute cloud show a departure from traditional hardware provisioning and configuration management via virtualization, big data is a departure from traditional relational databases and file systems. These two technical evolutions have been triggered by the new workloads of the internet (search, streaming) and the scale needed to server millions of users and millions/billions of objects to store or serve.
In this talk we show how CloudStack and its support for bare-metal provisioning is compatible with a public cloud. CloudStack being a data center orchestrator that can tackle both traditional enterprise workloads and internet scale/type workloads. Multiple zones can be created for compute cloud or big data. Big data can used as backend store to the compute cloud or as zone type to enabled big data workload on the bare metal hardware.
This hybrid mode of operation is seen as the next evolution of clouds and positions a data center orchestrator has more than a VM management system and a solution to big data management as well.

Jenkins, jclouds, CloudStack, and CentOS by David Nalleybuildacloud
Setting up continuous integration for a single project can be a pretty daunting task. Doing that for hundreds of projects becomes a challenge of a different magnitude. Not only are their capacity problems, but some tests are destructive to the testing environment, some have esoteric environment demands. See how this is solved in the real world using Jenkins, jclouds, CloudStack to build an on-demand build infrastructure.

Better, Faster, Cheaper Infrastructure: Apache CloudStack and Riak CSJohn Burwell
Software is eating infrastructure. By pulling reliability and scalability responsibilities up the stack from hardware into software, object stores such as Basho's Riak CS and cloud orchestration platforms such as Apache CloudStack increase the utilization of compute and storage resources by dynamically shifting workloads based on demand. Together, those platforms can saturate compute and storage of 1000s of hosts with strong operational visibility and end-user self-service.
This talk will cover the following topics to explore private cloud design principles and best practices:
* Why Private Cloud?
* Anatomy of a Private Cloud
* Building a Apache CloudStack Compute Offering
* Large Object Storage using Riak CS
How to achieve no compromise performance and availabilityScyllaDB
ScyllaDB co-founders Dor Laor and Avi Kivity discuss why they started ScyllaDB, the decision decisions they made to achieve no-compromise performance and availability, and give a demo on how to get up and running on Docker.

Building clouds with apache cloudstack apache roadshow 2018ShapeBlue
Talk given at Apache Roadshow, FOSS Backstage, Berlin, June 2018
Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. This talk will give an introduction to the technology, its history and its architecture. It will look common use-cases (and some real production deployments) that are seen across both public and private cloud infrastructures and where CloudStack can be completed by other open source technologies.
The talk will also compare and contrast Apache Cloudstack with other IaaS platforms and why he thinks that the technology, combined with the Apache governance model will see CloudStack become the de-facto open source cloud platform. He will run a live demo of the software and talk about ways that people can get involved in the Apache CloudStack project.

Clouds, Clusters, and Containers: Tools for responsible, collaborative computingMatthew Vaughn
Intro slides from AKES workshop at ISMB2016. This workshop addresses the challenges and requirements for working effectively on cloud computing and high performance computing resources, discusses the key principles that should guide responsible scientific computation and collaboration, and using hands-on sessions presents practical solutions using emergent software tools that are becoming widely adopted in the global scientific community. Specifically, we will look at using “containers” to bundle software applications and their full execution environment in a portable way. We will look at managing and sharing data across distributed resources. And finally, we will tackle how to orchestrate job execution across systems and capture metadata on the results (and the process) so that parameters and methodologies are not lost.
Taking your first steps in the cloud shouldn't be a rush affair. Instead, you should have a detailed plan for your cloud adventure, and it should be tailored to your specific business goals. But what elements do you need in a plan? What should you expect from the cloud and the migration process? All of these are questions organizations face at the beginning of their cloud journey, and HOSTING is familiar with every one.

"Navigating the Database Universe" by Dr. Michael Stonebraker and Scott Jarr,...lisapaglia
Webinar presentation delivered by Dr. Michael Stonebraker and Scott Jarr of VoltDB on December 11, 2012. www.voltdb.com
The design decisions you make today will have a huge performance impact down the line. Until recently, when it came to databases, the choice was easy. Essentially, you had one option: the RDBMS. Today, there's a new universe of databases being thrown into production — and not always with the greatest success. How do you make the right choice for your next application? Database pioneer Dr. Michael Stonebraker and VoltDB co-founder Scott Jarr have some thoughts.
