Docker - Demo on PHP Application deployment Arun prasath
Docker is an open-source project to easily create lightweight, portable, self-sufficient containers from any application. The same container that a developer builds and tests on a laptop can run at scale, in production, on VMs, bare metal, OpenStack clusters, public clouds and more.
In this demo, I will show how to build a Apache image from a Dockerfile and deploy a PHP application which is present in an external folder using custom configuration files.
Using Docker EE to Scale Operational Intelligence at SplunkDocker, Inc.
With more than 14,000 customers in 110+ countries, Splunk is the market leader in analyzing machine data to deliver operational intelligence for security, IT and the business. Our rapid growth as a company meant that our Infrastructure Engineering Team, responsible for all the common tooling, build and test systems and frameworks utilized by the Splunk engineers, was bogged down with a sprawl of virtual machines and physical servers that were becoming incredibly difficult to manage. And as our customer’s demand for data has grown, testing at the scale of petabytes/day has become our new normal. We needed a reliable and scalable “Test Lab” for functional and performance testing.
With Docker Enterprise Edition, our engineers are able to create small test stacks on their laptop just as easily as creating multi-petabyte stacks in our Test Lab. Support for Windows, Role Based Access Control and having support for both the orchestration platform and the container engine were key in deciding to go with Docker over other solutions.
In this talk, we will cover the architecture, tooling, and frameworks we built to manage our workloads, which have grown to run on over 600 bare-metal servers, with tens of thousands of containers being created every day. We will share the lessons learned from running at scale. Lastly, we will demonstrate how we use Splunk to monitor and manage Docker Enterprise Edition.
As a Service: Cloud Foundry on OpenStack - Lessons LearntAnimesh Singh
According to OpenStack users survey, Cloud Foundry is the 2nd most popular workload on OpenStack. You want to deploy Cloud Foundry on OpenStack or already have. What's next?
Cloud Foundry continues to evolve with revolutionary changes, e.g move from bosh-micro to bosh-init, using the new eCPI, move to Diego etc.
Same with OpenStack, e.g changes from Keystone v2 to v3, from Liberty to Mitaka, network plugins changes etc. Both IaaS and PaaS layers are changing frequently. How do you do in-place updates/upgrades/operational tasks without impacting user experience at both the layers?
In this talk will discuss our lessons learnt operating hybrid Cloud Foundry deployments on top of OpenStack over the last two years and how we used underlying technologies to seamlessly operate them

Extending Build to the Client: A Maven User's Guide to Grunt.jsPetr Jiricka
Maven is now established as the de facto standard build tool for Java web applications. But what if the application makes extensive use of modern client-side technologies like AngularJS or Ember framework, CSS processors like SASS/LESS, Bower package manager, what if we need to compress and minify JavaScript and CSS files? In that case it makes sense to have a dedicated build infrastructure for the client.
Enter Grunt.js, a build tool specifically made for the client side. In this BOF, we will explore combining the use of Maven for the server side with Grunt.js for the client.

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:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Cinder Mission Statement
To implement services and libraries to provide on demand, self-service
access to Block Storage resources. Provide Software Defined Block
Storage via abstraction and automation on top of various traditional
backend block storage devices.
Huh?
So it’s simply allowing you to dynamically create/attach/detach disks to your
Nova Instances. Those are the basics, much more advanced capabilities
will depend on the version of OpenStack/Cinder and storage vendors’
exposed advanced features.
11. Office:443.433.0106
Email:Events@Mavenspire.com
How it works
● Plugin architecture, use your own vendors
backend(s) or use the default
● Backend devices invisible to end-user
● Consistent API regardless of backend
● Filter Scheduler let’s you get fancy
● expose differentiating features via custom
volume-types and extra-specs

Cinder Default/Reference Implementation Includes
● Base implementation using LVM
● Just add disks
● Great for POC and getting started
● Sometimes good enough
● Might be lacking for your performance, H/A and Scaling needs (it all depends)
● Can Scale by adding Nodes
● Cinder-Volume Node utilizes it’s local disks (allocate by creating an LVM VG)
● Cinder Volumes are LVM Logical Volumes, with an iSCSI target created for each
➔ Typical max size recommendations per VG/Cinder-Volume backend ~ 5 TB
➔ No Redundancy (yet)
