The document discusses nova-network, OpenStack's networking component. It provides an overview of nova-network, describing that it provides networking for instances using technologies like iptables, ebtables, and Linux bridges. It also describes some of nova-network's configuration options, such as public interface, DMZ_CIDR, and floating IPs, and challenges integrating it with other components.
This presentation describes the term firewall and it's concepts and provides basic information about it's unix-based software implementations: ebtables, arptables and iptables. This document is a part of a powerpoint presentation which I also uploaded. Made as a project for university course
Rackspace’s Enterprise Business Intelligence group (EBI) was looking for a cost-effective way to support the reporting and information needs of its internal users, which include business and operations personnel. It was also looking to scale out new infrastructure in order to meet their increasing business demands, house increasing amounts of data, and customize the collection of data, while seeking a way to move away from their legacy Data Warehouse solution. To do this, Rackspace built the Analytical Compute Grid (ACG) by using Hadoop, Cassandra and PostgreSQL with an OpenStack cloud. Read more about it in this presentation.

DevOpsDays Amsterdam - Monitoring at Service Provider ScaleChris Jackson
At Rackspace, we're implementing DevOps principles to enable scale and faster flow of business value, for us that means customer satisfaction. There's lots of work for us to do to complete our implementation, but this talk shows a little about our belief system for DevOps and how we're trying to change monitoring into a source of customer delight.
As the world of system and application deployment continues to change, the sys admin and security community needs to change with it. With agile development, continuous deployment, the pace of change in IT has only increased. Add in Dev/Ops and the traditional sys admin and security processes just don’t work. How can you rapidly deliver servers and applications while making sure they are built reliably and securely. Rackspace has been developing a tool to help them design, deploy and security assess complex configurations for customers called Checkmate. This talk will cover the concepts behind and the architecture of Checkmate and how it helps minimize the time to deploy systems and verify they have been created to spec and in a secure state. A discussion of how Checkmate has inspired the concept of Test Driven Security based on the Test Driven Development model familiar to the development world.
In this session, we will discuss the operational issues that Rackspace has encountered during and after implementing Neutron at a large scale. Neutron at scale required a significant amount of development and operations effort, some of which resulted in deviations from upstream code. Finally, our team would like to discuss our solutions and our upstream differences for Neutron and OpenStack that we believe are necessary so that it can be more performant at scale.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
