Deliver your App Anywhere … Publicly or PrivatelyDevOps.com
Developers are increasingly adopting a microservices approach for their apps in order to gain rapid iteration capabilities required for delivering new services faster. However, delivering the App still requires multiple steps such as allocation of virtual IPs, provisioning the front load balancer, configuring firewall rules, configuring a public domain, and DDOS. At present, each of these steps requires coordination across multiple teams with multiple iterations per team. The time efficiencies gained by adopting microservices and cloud-native technologies is negated due to the time taken to deliver the App.
In this session, Pranav Dharwadkar, VP of products at Volterra, and Jakub Pavlik, director of engineering, will help you understand these challenges and introduce a distributed proxy architecture that can alleviate the challenges across different cloud environments. This webinar will include a live demo using a distributed proxy architecture to advertise an App publicly and privately.
In this webinar, you will learn:
The steps required to deliver an App using the current approaches
How a distributed proxy architecture can be used to deliver the app publicly and privately
The operational benefits of a distributed proxy architecture for delivering new services

Modernizing on IBM Z Made Easier With Open Source SoftwareDevOps.com
In the past decade, IDC has seen IBM Z evolve first from a siloed platform to what they call a "connected" platform, and then to a "transformative" platform. This transition has been driven by IBM, by the IBM Z software vendors, like Rocket Software, and by businesses themselves.
IDC research shows that businesses that choose to modernize IBM Z achieve higher satisfaction than re-platformers and many are using open source software (OSS) in their modernization initiatives. Employing OSS makes it possible to crack the platform open and enable it to connect to the rest of the datacenter and the outside world. Join IDC guest speaker, Al Gillen and Peter Fandel as they take a deeper look at the value proposition associated with using commercially supported OSS in mission-critical environments, like IBM Z. In this webinar we’ll discuss:
How OSS can neutralize the disparity between seasoned IBM Z and emerging developers
The modernization initiatives that involve OSS
What to consider before bringing OSS to IBM Z
How Rocket Software is delivering commercially supported OSS to IBM Z

The document discusses system and solution testing. It provides an example of how unit tests that pass can fail during system testing. It defines system testing as testing at a product level to find bugs not discoverable through feature testing. Solution testing is defined as customer-oriented end-to-end application testing. The document outlines some key differences between feature, system, and solution testing and discusses common bugs found through system testing.
This document discusses application directed networking and software-defined networking (SDN). It describes how earlier approaches to SDN relied on guessing and inferring information about application traffic, but that current approaches enable networks to truly understand application context and identity. Through programmable SDN controllers and network applications, networks can now leverage application context and identity to take coordinated actions, rather than relying on inferred policies and actions. This moves networks from "guessing" to "knowing" about application traffic and needs.
This document discusses SDN and where it is going. It defines SDN as the separation of the control plane and data plane in networking with a general purpose forwarding plane. SDN aims to operationalize networks to improve time to market, reduce risks and costs by centralizing control through open APIs. Both stateless and stateful services are needed for applications. The document presents a vision of an operationalized network with SDN where the control plane programmatically controls all network elements through open APIs.
The document discusses Hewlett-Packard's offerings for enterprise mobility. It covers how mobility is changing IT, including the rise of BYOD and increased data usage. It then outlines HP's approach to enterprise mobility, including solutions for developing secure and high-performing mobile apps, managing mobile devices and applications, providing cloud infrastructure and data analytics, and delivering a modern wired and wireless network. The presentation aims to demonstrate how HP helps enterprises address the challenges of mobility.

How to use SDN to Innovate, Expand and Deliver for your businessNapier University
SDN is about operationalizing networks to improve time-to-market, reduce risks, and reduce operating expenses by centralizing control and programmatically controlling network elements via open APIs. It requires an ecosystem to operationalize the entire network, including stateless L2-4 and stateful L4-7 services. F5's Synthesis solution operationalizes the stateful L4-7 network with programmability, automation, massive scalability, and partnerships with other SDN vendors to provide a full SDN solution.
This document discusses the future of software-defined networking (SDN) and network virtualization. It begins with an introduction of the author and Universal Data, Inc. It then discusses the drivers behind SDN, including increased mobility, cloud computing, and security needs. It outlines the basic SDN architecture and operation. It also examines the current state of the industry, barriers to adoption, and where SDN solutions may be adopted first. It concludes with recommendations to approach SDN adoption strategically and get involved in early testing to help shape emerging standards.
This paper explains the capabilities, considerations and questions individuals should ask their network vendors when evaluating hardware for their SDN journey.
Virtualization: Improve Speed and Increase QualityTechWell
Clint Sprauve from HP presented on using virtualization to improve the speed and quality of testing. Virtualization can help address challenges from composite applications with many dependencies, the need for high quality with fast release cycles, and proliferation of mobile and cloud services. Service virtualization removes constraints by allowing development and testing to access components without waiting. Network virtualization is also important as network issues can significantly impact performance and capacity. Together, service and network virtualization enable continuous testing across the development life cycle from unit to load testing. This helps accelerate application delivery with more confidence through "shift left" testing.

This presentation covers how SDN is emerging as a viable network architecture and includes a market outlook, long-term implications and recent M&A activity in the SDN space.
Similar to Virtual Application Networks Innovations Advance Software-defined Network Leadership (20)
The document describes AT&T's Central Office Re-architected as a Datacenter (CORD) initiative. CORD aims to modernize central offices by implementing them as cloud-like datacenters using open source software and white box switches. This allows for increased agility, automation and the ability to deploy new services more quickly. The CORD architecture uses a leaf-spine fabric with open networking switches and virtualizes network functions using open source components like OpenStack and ONOS. This simplifies infrastructure and enables new types of services.
This webinar explains why PISA chips are inevitable, provides overview of machine architecture of such switches, presents a brief primer on the P4 language with sample programs for a variety of networks and demonstrates a powerful network diagnostics application implemented in P4.
Programmability in SDNs is confined to the network control plane. The forwarding plane is still largely dictated by fixed-function switching chips. Our goal is to change that, and to allow programmers to define how packets are to be processed all the way down to the wire.
This is made possible by a new generation of high-performance forwarding chips. At the high-end, PISA (Protocol-Independent Switch Architecture) chips promise multi-Tb/s of packet processing. At the mid- and low-end of the performance spectrum, CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and NPUs already offer great flexibility with performance of a few tens to hundreds of Gb/s.
In addition to programmable forwarding chips, we also need a high-level language to dictate the forwarding behavior in a target independent fashion. "P4" (www.p4.org) is such a language. In P4, the programer declares how packets are to be processed, and a compiler generates a configuration for a PISA chip, or a programmable target in general. For example, the programmer might program the switch to be a top-of-rack switch, a firewall, or a load-balancer; and might add features to run automatic diagnostics and novel congestion control algorithms.

The document proposes a transparent offloading architecture using a new programmable accelerator (ASIP) to accelerate virtual network functions. The ASIP uses a tunable architecture and instruction set extension with a tailored compiler to optimize functions like coarse deep packet inspection. Experimental results show the ASIP approach reduces run time by 98% and increases throughput by 50x compared to without acceleration, while maintaining low power dissipation. The document concludes that designing an optimal instruction set that harmonizes with x86 environments can reduce the costs required for acceleration.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
