Introducing Cloud Development with Project Shipped and Mantl: a deep diveCisco DevNet
A session in the DevNet Zone at Cisco Live, Berlin. Developers are driving the market for cloud consumption and leading each industry into the new era of software defined disruption. There are no longer questions about whether elastic and flexible agile development are the way to innovate and reduce time to market for businesses. In addition, businesses are moving to application development architectures leveraging microservices, which are becoming increasingly important to their business strategy. When making the decision to build and operate an application on a physical or cloud platform, microservices are becoming central to architecture and strategy. This session will clearly define what a microservices infrastructure is and how it enables elastic, flexible, and portable application workload deployment. The Mantl platform will be introduced, with each component described and demonstrated. Project Shipped will be used to build, deploy and run an application.
Do you think that Nova, Cinder, Heat, Ceilometer, and Neutron are all references to global warming and looming apocalypse? For all those who come to the OpenStack community and wonder what all the fuss is about, this quick introduction will answer your many questions. It includes a short history of the largest Open Source project in history and will touch on
the basic OpenStack components, so you will be prepared the next time someone mentions Keystone, Nova and Swift in the same sentence.
This session was presented by Beth Cohen at the OpenStack meetup on Feb 19th, 2014 in Boston. Beth works for Verizon developing cool Cloud based products that she can't talk about without a strict NDA. She is a technical leader with over 25 years of experience architecting leading-edge system infrastructures and managing complex projects in the telecom, manufacturing, financial services, government, and technology industries. She has been involved in building some of the world's largest OpenStack architectures and has way too much fun at OpenStack Summits!

OpenStack Explained: Learn OpenStack architecture and the secret of a success...Giuseppe Paterno'
OpenStack can help your business in cutting costs and have a faster time to market. A lot of people are looking at OpenStack as an alternative to VMware and most of the vendors are trying to let you think that visualization is cloud. While Cloud implies a virtualized environment, virtualization is not a cloud.
This ebook will go through the concept of Cloud and help you understand the architecture of OpenStack and its benefits. It also explores DevOps and reveal the "secret ingredient" to have a successful cloud project.

Slides for my talk at All Things Open 2014
OpenStack is widely recognized as a leading open source cloud computing platform and has attracted plenty of attention from developers, end users, IT companies, and media. As OpenStack continue to gain adoption, the audience of potential users continues to expand. Whether you’re building a public cloud service or private clouds for e-commerce, video/collaboration apps, sceintific research, NFV, or are simply looking for a more elastic model of infrastructure, OpenStack is an option to consider. This talk will serve as an extensive introduction for newcomers to OpenStack. We’ll discuss both the software itself and the makeup of the community of developers and users around it. We’ll learn how to contribute to OpenStack, who’s using it today, different deployment scenarios and use cases, and provide both online and local resources for learning more. We’ll also provide an introduction to incubated components, underpinning pieces, and pointers to installers and service providers who can help you get started.
For the past 5 years, Canonical has engaged with dozens of communications service providers to design, build and operate virtualization infrastructure for network functions -- for the acronym lovers, delivering NFVI for VNFs. This presentation goes over the approach, challenges and learnings from multiple NFVI projects supporting multiple telco use cases.

Title: Open Source and Public Policy
Abstract: New regulations in the software industry and adjacent areas such as AI, open science, open data, and open education are on the rise around the world. Cyber Security, societal impact of AI, data and privacy are paramount issues for legislators globally. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic drove collaborative development to unprecedented levels and took Open Source software, open research, open content and data from mainstream to main stage, creating tension between public benefit and citizen safety and security as legislators struggle to find a balance between open collaboration and protecting citizens.
Historically, the open source software community and foundations supporting its work have not engaged in policy discussions. Moving forward, thoughtful development of these important public policies whilst not harming our complex ecosystems requires an understanding of how our ecosystem operates. Ensuring stakeholders without historic benefit of representation in those discussions becomes paramount to that end.
Please join our open discussion with open policy stakeholders working constructively on current open policy topics. Our panelists will provide a view into how oss foundations and other open domain allies are now rising to this new challenge as well as seizing the opportunity to influence positive changes to the public’s benefit.
Topics: Public Policy, Open Science, Open Education, current legislation in the US and EU, US interest in OSS sustainability, intro to the Open Policy Alliance

Weaving Microservices into a Unified GraphQL Schema with graph-quilt - Ashpak...All Things Open
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Ashpak Shaikh & Lucy Shen - Intuit
Title: Weaving Microservices into a Unified GraphQL Schema with graph-quilt
Abstract: The magic of GraphQL is that it provides data access through a single endpoint—clean and easy. But as the number of GraphQL microservices your tech stack depends on starts to grow, that single-endpoint purpose becomes a new multi-endpoint problem. Ideally, we would have an orchestrator that could aggregate schemas from multiple microservices into a unified GraphQL schema and route the requests to the appropriate microservice.
Enter graph-quilt, an open source Java library that provides recursive schema stitching and Apollo Federation style schema composition. In this talk, we’ll walk through our GraphQL journey and show you how to use graph-quilt to simplify your data orchestration needs. We will also share our open sourced reference implementation of a highly performant graph-quilt gateway currently being used in production here at Intuit, where we’ve had incredible success in scaling the gateway with 50+ microservices and 150+ clients.

Presented by Phil Nash - Sonar
Title: Total ReDoS: The dangers of regex in JavaScript
Abstract: Regular expressions are complicated and can be hard to learn. On top of that, they can also be a security risk; writing the wrong pattern can open your application up to denial of service attacks. One token out of place and you invite in the dreaded ReDoS.
But how can a regular expression cause this? In this talk we’ll track down the patterns that can cause this trouble, explain why they are an issue and propose ways to fix them now and avoid them in the future. Together we’ll demystify these powerful search patterns and keep your application safe from expressions that behave in a way that is anything but regular.

Presented by Paul Brebner - Instaclustr (by Spot by NetApp)
Title: Spinning Your Drones with Cadence Workflows, Apache Kafka and TensorFlow
Abstract: In this talk we’ll build a Drone delivery application, and then use it to do some Machine Learning “on the fly”.
In the 1st part of the talk, we'll build a real-time Drone Delivery demonstration application using a combination of two open-source technologies: Uber’s Cadence (for stateful, scheduled, long-running workflows), and Apache Kafka (for fast streaming data).
With up to 2,000 (simulated) drones and deliveries in progress at once this application generates a vast flow of spatio-temporal data.
In the 2nd part of the talk, we'll use this platform to explore Machine Learning (ML) over streaming and drifting Kafka data with TensorFlow to try and predict which shops will be busy in advance.

Title: Scaling Web Applications with Background Jobs: Takeaways from Generating a Huge PDF
Abstract: Do you need to perform time-consuming or CPU-intensive processes in your web application but are concerned about performance? That’s where background jobs come in. By offloading resource-intensive tasks to separate worker processes, you can improve the scalability of your web application.
In this talk, I'll share my experience of using background jobs to scale our web application. I'll discuss the challenges my team faced that led us to adopt background jobs. Then, I'll share practical tips on how to design background jobs for CPU-intensive or time-consuming processes, such as generating huge PDFs and batch emailing. I'll wrap up by going over the performance and cost tradeoffs of background jobs.
I'll use Typescript, Express, and Heroku as examples in this talk, but the concepts and best practices that I'll share are applicable to other languages and tools.

Title: Supercharging tutorials with WebAssembly
Abstract: sandbox.bio is a free platform that features interactive command-line tutorials for bioinformatics. This talk is a deep-dive into how sandbox.bio was built, with a focus on how WebAssembly enabled bringing command-line tools like awk and grep to the web. Although these tools were originally written in C/C++, they all run directly in the browser, thanks to WebAssembly! And since the computations run on each user's computer, this makes the application highly scalable and cost-effective.
Along the way, I'll discuss how WebAssembly works and how to get started using it in your own applications. The talk will also cover more advanced WebAssembly features such as threads and SIMD, and will end with a discussion of WebAssembly's benefits and pitfalls (it's a powerful technology, but it's not always the right tool!).

Title: Using SQL to Find Needles in Haystacks
Abstract: Database journal files capture every update to a database. A database of a few hundred GB can generate GBs worth of journal files every minute at busy times. Troubleshooting and forensices, especially of rare and intermittent problems, such as which process made what update and when, is an exercise of finding needles in haystacks. A similar problem exists with syslogs. A solution is to load the journal files and syslogs into a database, and use SQL to query the database. Bhaskar will present and demonstrate this with a 100% FOSS stack.

Title: Scaling an Open Source Sponsorship Program
Abstract: We already know this: the open-source ecosystem needs further monetary investment from the companies that benefit most from it. Likewise, companies say they want to participate in these initiatives, but find it hard to dedicate resources to open source funding when there isn’t a clear ROI.
This talk discusses how the Open Source Program Office at Stripe built a scalable, sustainable open source sponsorship model that aligns internal company incentives with those of open source maintainers and the community at large. We go over the unique “platformization” of our OSPO that allowed us to create multiple funding models, such as BYOB (Bring Your Own Budget), and share lessons learned from this experience as well as other OSPOs.

Build Developer Experience Teams for Open SourceAll Things Open
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Arundeep Nagaraj - Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Title: Build Developer Experience Teams for Open Source
Abstract: Open Source has become the default strategy for many IT organizations and Enterprises. However, the constant challenge with Open Source leaders of these organizations has been -
How is my product's developer experience?
Is this the right metric to track?
How can I scale my team to support our products better?
How can I add automation to scale redundant workflows?
If my product involves working with developers, how can I scale to the complexity of the requests and reduce Engineering bandwidth?
The challenges within support of open source products continues to magnify depending on the end user persona whether they are consumers or contributors to your product. Consumers utilize your product, SDK's and API's and are blocked with using it or run into issues, whereas contributors are advanced users of your software that understands the codebase to provide a meaningful contribution back to the product.
The answer to the above is to look at Open Source support as a first-class citizen of your corporate support strategy. To employ the right level of developer focused support as opposed to traditional infrastructure based support is key to scale to the amount of developers using your product. Supporting customers in the open involves more than pure support - building customer / developer experiences (DX) in the open (across platforms and communities) that pivots over the ability of your product's users or developers to be focused on the end-to-end value add. This helps with your active developer growth and retention of users.
Key Takeaways:
- IT leaders of Open Source will learn to employ strategies to build a DX team that engages on multiple platforms
- Work on identifying accurate metrics for product and organization
- Innovate on platforms such as Discord to build a bot and a dashboard
- Ability to leverage customer feedback and iterate over the customer success flywheel
- Distinguish between DX and Developer Advocacy (DA)

Sudo – Giving access while staying in controlAll Things Open
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Peter Czanik - One Identity
Title: Sudo – Giving access while staying in control
Abstract: Sudo is used by millions to control and log administrator access to systems, but using the default configuration only, there are plenty of blind spots. Using the latest features in sudo let you watch some previously blind spots and control access to them. Here are four major new features, which arrived since the 1.9.0 release, allowing you see your blind spots:
- configuring a working directory or chroot within sudo often makes full shell access redundant
- JSON-formatted logs give you more details on events and are easier to act on
- relays in sudo_logsrvd make session recording collection more secure and reliable
- you can log and control sub-commands executed by the command run through sudo
Let us take a closer look at each of these.
Previously, there were quite a few situations where you had to give users full shell access through sudo. Typical examples include when you need to run a command from a given directory, or running commands in a chroot environment. You can now configure the working directory or the chroot directory and give access only to the command the user really needs.
Logging is a central role of sudo, to see who did what on the system. Using JSON-formatted log messages gives you even more information about events. What is even more: structured logs are easier to act on. Setting up alerting for suspicious events is much easier when you have a single parser to configure for any kind of sudo logs. You can collect sudo logs not only by local syslog, but also by using sudo_logsrvd, the same application used to collect session recordings.
Speaking of session recordings: instead of using a single central server, you can now have multiple levels of sudo_logsrvd relays between the client and the final destination. This allows session collection even if the central server is unavailable, providing you with additional security. It also makes your network configuration simpler.
Finally, you can log sub-commands executed from the command started through sudo. You can see commands started from a shell. No more unnoticed shell access from text editors. Best of all: you can also intercept sub-commands.
These are just a few of the most prominent features helping you to watch and control previous blind spots on your systems. See these and other possibilities in action in some live demos during our presentation.

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.
