Deploying in the cloud doesn't guarantee speed and consistency -- two necessary components of continuous delivery. Learn how Ostrato's cloudSM cloud management platform can help developers & agile testers.
There is no doubt that Openstack represents one of the massive industry alignment towards the Open source cloud, Some even touting it to be the linux of cloud computing. But is it “THE” perfect solution ?
Vanilla Openstack is a “Myth”
The choice of Openstack as part of your cloud strategy purely depends on the kind of workload and the add-on features.
Openstack can be a serious contender especially for fresh deployments and applications that are being architected for cloud. But as the environment gets diverse(legacy integrations) Openstack can be tricky to integrate and maintain
One might require a vendor based Cloud management platform especially when the cloud strategy involves public clouds(AWS, Azure, GCE) and migration of application services across
No doubt it is fully open source, but it comes with learning curve, release cycles, Vendor specific driver integrations etc.
Interesting developments with respect to containers, docker, Kubernetes, Mesosphere etc will challenge Openstack
Openstack will no doubt will grow mature over next couple of years, until then, the hunt for the CMP continues...

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.
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!

3. What is OpenStack?
•OpenStack began in 2010 as an open-source cloud-
software framework, to create an abstraction to
expose Infrastructure as a Service on commodity
hardware
•OpenStack’s modular architecture provides choice in
vendor, giving organizations the flexibility to swap out
hardware and components without altering how the
platform is accessed or managed
•Many public clouds implement OpenStack to attract
customers, as they can reuse their existing processes
and workloads

cloudSM is Software To Control ALL of Your
Cloud Resources From A Single Pane of Glass
Macro level - Embracing the cloud has been difficult for Enterprises – because there are so many facets to cloud, for eg we have Infra, Platform and Software as a Service, all complex and variant in there own right.
Current & Predictive Stats re Hybrid Cloud Usage
As these IT resources are shifting to the Cloud enterprises are dealing with new complexities and lack of visibility into the services being delivered, and this can add cost if not managed properly.
Closing points: Managing the cloud is tough. Without automated tools to do the job it’s impossible.
While OpenStack didn’t make the top of our survey, many respondents that currently did not use OpenStack said they would use OpenStack within the next 12 months. That validates the impact and growth that OpenStack has on the cloud community, and the need for a strong broker to support it.
Developers that you wish to attract to OpenStack may already be using Cloud Formation, which unfortunately only works with Amazon resources. You can ingest these templates into a multi-composite blueprint, and then modify and add/remove additional composites over time. Additionally, a multi-composite blueprint is a great way to offer complex OpenStack services.
