PaaS Design & Architecture: A Deep Dive into Apache StratosWSO2
The design and architecture of Stratos present some unique advantages to the users. The multi-tenancy model, where it allows high multi-tenancy density within a deployment is a key advantage. The ability to control IaaS resources, per could, per region, per zone
paves the way to easily achieve high availability and disaster recover. Multi-factor based auto scaling, dynamic load balancing and cloudbusting are some of the other key noteworthy differentiators in Stratos PaaS. This session will highlight the advantages of using Apache Stratos (Incubating) as your PaaS framework.

About CloudStack: https://cloudstack.apache.org/
The Nuage Networks Virtualized Cloud Services solution integrates seamlessly with CloudStack’s advanced networking, supporting Shared Networks, Isolated Networks and VPC’s for KVM and ESXI hypervisors. That integration is bidirectional in the way that networks can be provisioned in CloudStack and be programmed into Nuage, as can be provisioned as advanced networking topologies within Nuage and be consumed from CloudStack. Empowered with SDN, operators can boost their clouds with networking scalability and performance which through native VR networking cannot be met.
Join our webinar on dealing with too many automation tools and platforms, and how the newest Cloudify 5.1 release brings in the Orchestrator of Orchestrators and how this helps.
Wido (PCExtreme) talks about implementing IPv6 in a production CloudStack environment, the challenges he faced and the successful outcomes for his organisation and their customers. Wido will also discuss the broader implications of IPv6 with CloudStack.
Gaetano Borgione's presentation from the 2017 Open Networking Summit.
Networking is vital for cloud-native apps where distributed computing and development models require speed, simplicity, and scale for massive number of ephemeral containers. Two of the most prevalent container networking models are CNI and CNM for developers using Docker, Mesos, or Kubernetes. This session will present an overview of distributed development, how CNI and CNM models work, and how container frameworks use these models for networking. Gaetano will also discuss the additional functions users need to consider in the control plane and data plane to achieve operational scale and efficiency.
OpenNebulaConf2017US: Welcome and project update by Ignacio M. Llorente and R...OpenNebula Project
We’re moving into a world of open cloud — where each organization can find the right cloud for its unique needs. A single cloud management platform can not be all things to all people, there will be a cloud space with several offerings focused on different environments and/or industries. The OpenNebula commitment to the open cloud flows directly out of its mission — to become the simplest cloud enabling platform — and its purpose — to bring simplicity to the private and hybrid enterprise cloud. OpenNebula exists to help companies build simple, cost-effective, reliable, open enterprise clouds on existing IT infrastructure. The OpenNebula Conference will be a great opportunity to remind our vision, vision and commitment, to look back at how the project has grown in the last 8 years, and to give a peek at what to expect from the project in the near future.
Networking For Nested Containers: Magnum, Kuryr, Neutron IntegrationFawad Khaliq
In the OpenStack ecosystem, containers were introduced as first class citizens recently with the project Magnum and the networking for containers has also evolved since then. Project Kuryr makes networking available to containers through Neutron. This all brings together how Neutron networking benefits containers like it does virtual machines. However, to make Neutron, Kuryr and Magnum cover all the use cases for containers, nested containers inside Nova VMs require networking to work as seamlessly as it works for virtual machines or bare metal containers. In this session, we will talk about Magnum, Kuryr, Neutron integration and how the problem of nested container networking has been solved in the OpenStack community, it's architecture, the design, current status and next steps.
How Cloud Native VNFs Deployed on OpenStack Will Change the Telecom Industry ...Cloud Native Day Tel Aviv
Many of the existing network functions, such as routers, firewalls, load balancers and such, have undergone the initial transition from a physical appliance to a virtual appliance. That transition required mostly performance optimization to accommodate the additional I/O overhead of the hypervisor and some configuration changes to accommodate the fact that a VM can be more dynamic in nature.
This shift to NFV, which is basically a cloud-based data center, has revolutionized the way network functions can be delivered. The transition to a cloud native world is considered far more disruptive as it touches changes in both the architecture, to accommodate hyper-scale and multi-tenancy, as well as the business model, which needs to be more consumption based, rather than fixed.
This talk will dive into the main requirements that differentiate a cloud native network function from the traditional network function, and, after making the leap from non-virtualized to virtualized network functions, what is then required to achieve cloud native capabilities, along with the challenges and benefits of this transition.

Cloud Application Blueprints with Apache Brooklyn by Alex Henevaldbuildacloud
So you have your cloud running, what now? Extend the devops agility from infrastructure to applications by learning how to use Brooklyn, the Apache-incubating project for application management. Create blueprints for applications to enable one-click deployment into Cloudstack, Docker, localhost, or other targets. Leverage your favourite server management tools, from Bash to Chef. Automatically change the deployment after it's deployed. Attach policies to support scaling, failover, and alerting in the way your application needs.
In this session we'll show how with just a few lines of YAML, you can build powerful application blueprints by composing pre-existing components, from polyglot web stacks to big data tools such as Riak. We'll also cover defining new blueprints using custom scripts, configuring machine selection and runtime policies, and managing new locations such as Clocker -- the cloud of docker.

Recent momentum around the evolution of Containers are gradually increase in last two years.Containers virtualize an OS and applications running in each container believe that they have full access to their very own copy of that OS. This is analogous to what VMs do when they virtualize at a lower level, the hardware. In the case of containers, it’s the OS that does the virtualization and maintains the illusion.
Recent past many software companies have quickly adopted container technologies, including Docker Containers, aware of the threat and advantage of the approach. For example, Linux companies have also jumped into the ground, seeing as this as an opportunity to grow the Linux market. Also Microsoft is going to add features to support containers and VMware have made efforts in integrating support for Docker into virtual machine technology.

Edge Computing: A Unified Infrastructure for all the Different PiecesCloudify Community
Edge Computing along with 5G promises to revolutionize customer experience with immersive applications that we can only imagine at this point. The edge will include PNFs, VNFs, and mobile-edge applications; requiring containers, virtual machines and bare-metal compute. But while edge computing promises numerous new revenue streams, managing and orchestrating these edge infrastructure environments is not going to be a seamless, instant process. In this webinar, experts in NFV orchestration discuss the concerns you must address in the transition to the edge, and show how you can use available open source tools to create a single management environment for PNFs, VNFs, and mobile-edge applications.
While the need for network automation is becoming a key part of the overall digital transformation agenda, the reality is that the success rate behind previous attempts to drive network automation (a.k.a NFV) is only at about 30%, where the statistics show that 70% of transformation projects fail!
Converting from a three tier or monolithic application to microservices can be daunting, and often comes at a non-trivial cost or effort. So why are organizations doing it, and how do they justify the expense? We will discuss some of the practices and migration strategies used by organizations who undergo this sort of transformation, such as extracting functions through refactoring and converting them to microservices. As the journey progresses, we learn that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to making applications cloud-native… so the real question needs to be ‘how do I find the right approach for me?’ We can help you begin to answer that question for yourself, by discussing the facets of consideration such as technical, procedural, and risk tolerance to name a few.

More at http://cloudify.co/2017/08/31/overcoming-the-five-hybrid-cloud-adoption-challenges/
First, should your enterprises work with a single cloud provider? Most likely your answer will be “No!” And for good reason.
Second, will hybrid (not necessarily cloud) be part of your data center’s future in the next few years? Here the answer is not as clear-cut. And in the absence of an obvious answer, new questions come to mind – what should I do with my current data center and how might this public cloud environment be incorporated into the mix?
Aside from dealing with their current on-premises resources, there is at least one good reason for enterprises to want to keep resources on premises – vendor lock-in. As an IT leader, your responsibility for the data and for business continuity force you to think long term. You need to maintain control and be able to move your IT assets based on your business needs at any time.
This consideration, combined with the current reality of having an on-premises data center to take care of, in most cases will launch you on the hybrid cloud journey. Leaders that see the half-full glass of this change will also see how this move forces their team to learn and innovate.
There are other incentives for building a hybrid cloud. Some enterprises simply want to use the public cloud to accommodate bursty workloads, and may want to migrate everything except for mission-critical applications and sensitive data repositories. Regardless of your incentive, it’s important to be aware of potential challenges lurking ahead.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
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.

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.

2. Agenda
• The Problem
• Kubernetes Terminology
• What is the role of a Cloud Provider in Kubernetes?
• How can Cloudify be a Cloud Provider?
• Cloudify with Kubernetes
• Use Cases
3. The Problem
• Jurassic applications, which aren’t going away (yet).
• Certain database deployments.
• Applications spanning multiple regions, datacenters, clouds and cloud-tenants.
• Windows services.
• Etc

4. Kubernetes Terminology
Kubernetes focuses on scheduling container-based deployment, using
specifications to describe the requirements of the environment on which the
containers should run, including location, availability, network, storage and
compute requirements.
Kubernetes is constantly expanding, however the elementary concepts everyone
must understand are the Master, Nodes, Pods, Services, and Replicaset.
Master - The Kubernetes orchestrator
Node - a worker node/minion (VM, bare-metal machine).
Pod - a group of containers that should run together. Often just one container.
Service - the abstraction for exposing the Pods in a container network to the host
network. Stable IP.
ReplicaSet - the mechanism by which Kubernetes enforces availability policies for
groups of Pods.
6. Cloud Providers in K8s
When a Kubernetes cluster is deployed, either a new or existing virtual network is the setting
across which various Nodes in the cluster communicate. This may be an VPC, a LAN, or something
else.
The same holds true for the Compute and Storage requirements. If new resources are required, a
Cloud Provider will be needed.
The role of the Cloud Provider in Kubernetes is to manage the lifecycle of these IaaS resources,
such as VMs, Volumes, Load Balancers, etc.
The Cloudify provider is an implementation of the Cloud API that is abstracted for Kubernetes
objects.
Before Kubernetes 1.6, the Cloud Provider was called directly from the kube-controller-manager.
Over the course of releases 1.6 - 1.9, the kube-controller-manager was split into a second binary
called cloud-controller-manager. This split has enabled to support of external Cloud Providers.
7. Limitations of this
approach
● Inflexible: Static implementation. Requires modifications to source
code and recompilation to introduce many architecture changes.
● Multi-cloud: Usually limited to one cloud/environment/zone.
● Hybrid cloud: No clear way to package containerized application and
non-containerized applications together.
9. Cloudify Terminology
Cloudify focuses on lifecycle management of IaaS resources - VMs, bare metal
servers, applications, and other services.
Manager - The Cloudify Orchestrator
Node - A resource, whose lifecycle Cloudify will Manage.
Compute Node - A VM or bare-metal machine, usually with a Cloudify Agent
installed. (Analogous to Kubernetes Node).
Workflow - An execution where Cloudify calls various operations, plugins, and scripts,
for example creating, or updating, or scaling a VM.
10. Cloudify and Containers
● Two layers: Infrastructure and Service.
● Infrastructure: Provisioning and managing, Compute, Storage, and Network
resources.
● Service: Deploying services and connecting deployments.

Resources
Cloudify is a Cloud orchestrator that
abstracts resource lifecycles.
Cloudify abstracts APIs of IaaS/Clouds.
Instead of using a single Cloud Provider for
each IaaS, we use a single Cloud Provider for
Cloudify, any Iaas.
