Cloud Computing Expo West - Crash Course in Open Source Cloud ComputingMark Hinkle
Very few trends in IT have generated as much buzz as cloud computing. This session will cut through the hype and quickly clarify the ontology for cloud computing. The bulk of the conversation will focus on the open source software that can be used to build compute clouds (infrastructure-as-a-service) and the complimentary open source management tools that can be combined to automate the management of cloud computing environments.
The discussion will appeal to anyone who has a good grasp of traditional data center infrastructure but is struggling with the benefits and migration path to a cloud computing environment. Systems administrators and IT generalists will leave the discussion with a general overview of the options at their disposal to effectively build and manage their own cloud computing environments using free and open source software.
Open Source Libraries - Managing Risk in Cloud Suman Sourav
In recent months we have seen several critical security threat because of third party libraries used in software products and services, Heartbleed, POODLE is a great example of it but things are not limited here since we have large threat landscape because of huge consumption of external third party components in cloud application development. Security threat will not stop ever since new attack vectors will keep coming in these open/external sources components but what is important here is how we handle risks due to these third party libraries.
Overview of various cloud-based tools that can be used to enhance teaching and learning and/or increase business effectiveness and efficiency.

Deploying, Managing, and Leveraging Honeypots in the Enterprise using Open So...Jason Trost
2015 is turning out to be the most spectacular year of high profile compromises across almost every vertical and many companies are starting to consider new options to raise the bar for intrusion detection and incident response, including deploying honeypots.
In this workshop we will present an overview of the current state of the art of leveraging open source tools to build a novel intrusion detection system inside the enterprise. We will discuss the pros/cons and ins/outs of several major open source honeypots as well as how to manage and deploy these sensors using the Modern Honey Network, Splunk, as well as integration into other systems such as ArcSight. We will discuss real world deployments of honeypots, what worked and what didn't as well as recommendations for getting the most out of these non-convention network sensors.
Open Source Tool Chains for Cloud ComputingMark Hinkle
This presentation was given at LinuxCon 2010.
The proliferation of cloud computing is inevitable, hosted apps, software-as-as-service and now dynamic on-demand utility computing is becoming the norm. The session will be a “fire-side” chat style discussion of the types of challenges presented by IT management operations personnel and how they can manage cloud infrastructure using open source tools. The talk will discuss options for deploying and integrating tools that provision, configure, orchestrate and monitor cloud (and physical)infrastructure. The session will appeal to those IT professionals (syadmins, net-ops, developers) who develop and manage infrastructure that resides in hosted environments like Amazon EC2 without disregarding traditionally hosted internal infrastructure.
Containers brought new approach for implementation of DevOps workflows. So our CEO, Ruslan Synytsky, devoted a speech to this topic during Madrid meetup and described in details how Java developers can get benefits from Docker containers in Jelastic Cloud.
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.

Delivering Infrastructure-as-a-Service with Open Source SoftwareMark Hinkle
The web was build using open source software like Linux, Apache, MySQL and the pervasive PHP, Python and Perl. Just as with the web, open source is one of the core foundations of cloud computing as early cloud pioneers used the freely available, freely-distributable model to power their web-scale deployments—achieving an unprecedented level of scale at a bare-bones cost that had never been seen in the history of computing. The first movers in cloud computing services found the open source software model most appealing, but to businesses today the attraction of open source is about the ability to develop a more flexible infrastructure and avoid vendor lock-in that often results from proprietary systems.

Abstract
There is a lot of debate whether to use Serverless or Kubernetes to build cloud-native apps. Both have their advantages and unique capabilities which developers should take into consideration when planning new projects. We will throw some light on the topics ease of use, maturity, types of scenarios, developer productivity and debugging, supported languages, DevOps and monitoring, performance, community and pricing. Cloud-native architectures shift the complexity from within an application to orchestrations of Microservices. Both Kubernetes and Serverless have their strengths which we will discuss. Besides the core development topics, developers should also understand operational aspects how complicated it is to maintain your own systems versus using managed platforms.
5/13/13 presentation to Austin DevOps Meetup Group, describing our system for deploying 15 websites and supporting services in multiple languages to bare redhat 6 VMs. All system-wide software is installed using RPMs, and all application software is installed using GIT or Tarball.

"Is serverless another passing technology fad or the new standard for application deployment in cloud computing?” It’s a good question and the topic of this presentation. We will discuss the current state of serverless computing and the many considerations before investing time and resources in serverless infrastructure.
For many, data center priorities have shifted from absolute uptime and performance to ”move fast and break things” as espoused by Silicon Valley, a great mantra for those with limited legacy systems and a greenfield of new products. Though the question for many enterprises though is "How does serverless integrate into their existing data center strategy?"
The discussion will not only explain the state of today’s growing serverless landscape but how you can integrate your existing data center with a cloud-native serverless architecture.
Triangle Kubernetes Meet-Up - Serverless is FaaS-tasticMark Hinkle
Talk Delivered 3/19/2019 - Serverless can be misleading as a descriptor. Serverless infrastructure actually runs on servers. However, the “server-less” reference comes from the fact that serverless abstracts the complexity of running servers away from the software developer which enables them to develop software without having to worry about the scaling, redundancy and overall infrastructure design. This is called Function-as-a-Service or Faas for short.
For the purposes of this talk, we’ll discuss serverless technologies where someone else is providing serverless infrastructure. Popular serverless platforms include Amazon Web Services Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Microsoft Azure Functions.
The presentation will also discuss the software that can be used to deliver Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) that enables serverless, including serverless frameworks like Knative, Kubeless, OpenFaaS, and Oracle’s fn.
Finally, we’ll cover what a cloud-native application might look like including the use cases and design patterns that serverless is geared towards providing.

Keynote All Things Open - Open Source: The Punk Rock of the 21st CenturyMark Hinkle
It's easy to draw a comparison between open source software. Many bands self-produced recordings (like software developers) and distributed them through informal channels (like open source projects)….technical accessibility and a DIY spirit are prized in punk rock(as we see in open source)…….Punk rock is meant to be our freedom(as in free software). We're meant to be able to do what we want to do…. The issue of authenticity is important in the punk subculture—the pejorative term "poseur" is applied to those who associate with punk and adopt its stylistic attributes but are deemed not to share or understand the underlying values and philosophy…. At the end of the 20th century, punk rock had been adopted by the mainstream, as pop punk and punk rock bands such as Green Day, the Offspring and Blink-182 brought the genre to widespread popularity. Open source is enjoying that same popularity in the 21st century.
Cloud 2.0 - How Containers, Microservices and Open Source Software are Redefi...Mark Hinkle
Led by the rocket like success of Amazon Web Services cloud computing is a paradigm shift in the way we host and deploy infrastructure. Organizations are consuming cloud infrastructure across multiple cloud providers both inside their data center and the data centers of others. The advent of highly portable workloads via containers (e.g. Docker) and discrete units of computing delivered by microservices are enabling organizations (like Netflix) to deploy complex multi-layered products and services at breakneck speeds.
This talk will give an overview of the major cloud services and the open source software (e.g. OpenStack, Apache CloudStack) that can be used to deliver and manage cloud computing infrastructure(e.g. Puppet, Chef, Ansible). The discussion will cover the evolution of cloud computing and how that sets the stage for realizing the agility, flexibility and power of cloud computing.
Attendees should expect to learn about the leading technologies in cloud computing, strategies for using open source software to create/manage cloud computing services and to gain an understanding how current developments are providing a way to create a single cloud fabric that best serves their individual needs.
Presentation on the current state of cloud computing and the role that open source, containers and microservices are playing in the cloud.

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).

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.

to increase (rather than decrease) the rate of
consumption of that resource.
…in cloud computing increased
consumption can introduces signi cant
management overhead despite higher
hardware utilization and other bene ts

Average polling interval for monitoring? 5 minutes?
Even superhuman operations people can’t be alerted and take action in under 5 minutes.
One outage per year could drop service level to three nines or worse.

Example: GeekNet
• Servers are automatically built using
con guration management software (Puppet)
• Discovery tool (Zenoss) nds infrastructure
and populates a CMDB then spits out Hundreds of servers,
information to scripts that translate serving web, databases,
information to BIND con gurations for DNS and other infrastructure
• Monitoring tool adds hosts to polling tool for some of the world’s
(Nagios) to check servers for availability most highly trafficked
• As infrastructure changes systems are updated websites – over 40 million
automatically visitors per month.
• Servers can be spun up and managed in
minutes, not hours automatically with little or
no human interaction

Editor's Notes
How many users are using
IN the late 1800s English economist William Stanley Jevons noticed that despite huge increases in the efficiency of coal burning, demand actually increased rather than decreased. In cloud computing despite huge cost savings the consumption of cloud computing is and will continue to grow as demand increases. The downside is that this increased consumption has the ability to increase management burden if users don’t adopt leveraged methods for managing cloud computing.
With a credit card and a single administrator can spin up 100s of servers in minutes.
How does the management personnel for the cloud scale? …Automation.
DevOps is a popular movement among cloud operations professionals who are advocating many of the same methodologes used in Agile software development.
Ideally for the cloud you create management toolchains that automate the management of your cloud.
Cloud computing promises highly available systems, but if you have a reactive approach you won’t achieve that goal. Build redundant, highly automated systems that can self-heal.
Other disciplines like back-up, log management, performance and security (virus,intrusion detection) are important but not core to the delivery of cloud computing systems
Tools that can automatically build your systems/install systems
Configuration management tools abstract infrastructure into variables that are implemented via “recipes”Interesting new development is the PXE boot Crowbar extension for Chef Server used to provision virtual machines in OpenStack.
