AWS and Open Cloud, All Things Open, 10/25/2013, Raleigh NCGreg DeKoenigsberg
How does open cloud compete with AWS? By recognizing that AWS has won, and by duplicating its functionality and semantics as rapidly as possible to provide users with desperately needed choice.
Short journey through the CF history. We'll start in the early days of Twitter & Google, then briefly touch the first AWS Grails automation toolset, and explain how to merge Spring, VSphere and big-data into a single piece of technology. Along the way we'll decipher lots of TLA (three-letter-acronyms) and ETLA (extended TLA) such as VCAP, DEA and EMC.
OpenShift, Docker, Kubernetes: The next generation of PaaSGraham Dumpleton
Containers are upending the way that developers and operations groups are thinking about how to deploy software. To cater for these new ways of thinking, traditional Platform as a Service (PaaS) providers are also needing to adapt. Although PaaS providers have been using containers for some time, the new focus is around Docker and the image portability it provides. It isn't all about containers though, you still need orchestration to manage where containers are deployed, as well as workflows for getting you from source code to deployed application.
In this talk you will learn about how OpenShift, Red Hat's Open Source PaaS is being reimplemented around Docker and Kubernetes, adding in its own secret sauce to deliver a next generation PaaS.

A One-Stop Solution for Puppet and OpenStackPuppet
Throughout the last year, we have been using and developing tools that allow us to have an IaaS where our data center is configured by Puppet and our virtualization and authentication needs are catered by Openstack. RedHat's foreman is our lifecycle management tool which we configured to support both bare metal and Openstack virtual machines. We use git to manage environments and hostgroup configurations and we will tell you how we deal with its security implications, how to store Hieradata secrets. Switching from a homebrew toolchain to open source tools like Facter, Foreman, Openstack has turned out into many contributions to these teams. Nearly everyone at CERN has started to wear the devops hat which brings new challenges in terms of development workflows and scalability.

Daniel Lobato is a developer who has worked in very different environmentst, from data centers and mainframes to startups. Nowadays he has dived into the Agile Infrastructure team at CERN where the design and implementation of the new computing infrastructure is done. As for Puppet, he currently helps RedHat to develop Foreman, a lifecycle management tool for physical and virtual machines. One of his goals at CERN is to knot this tool to all the relevant parts of the infrastructure, which includes Puppet for configuration management, OpenStack for virtualization and authentication, Puppetdb and others. He is sure the source of all computer problems is between the chair and the keyboard.

But how can you safely and reliably begin to deploy and manage your Red Hat instances at cloud scale? With IT automation, you can more easily deploy and manage your Red Hat instances in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) public cloud.
In this webinar, we’ll demonstrate how to:
Automate the creation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux-based AWS instances
Apply a security baseline to the instances
Deploy and manage an application
Regardless of where you are in the cloud adoption process, leveraging IT automation can help smooth the transition to the cloud. Join the webinar to learn how.
Automating Application over OpenStack using WorkflowsYaron Parasol
OpenStack Heat is gaining momentum as a DevOps tool to orchestrate the creation of OpenStack cloud environments. Heat is based on a DSL describing simple orchestration of cloud objects, but lacks better representation of the middleware and the application components as well as more complex deployment and post-deployment orchestration workflows. The Heat community has started discussing a higher level DSL that will support not just infrastructure components.
This session will present a further extended suggestion for a DSL based on the TOSCA specification, which covers broader aspects of an application behavior and deployment such as the installation, configuration management, continuous deployment, auto-healing and scaling. We will also share some of our thoughts on how this DSL can interface with native OpenStack projects, such as Heat, Keystone and Ceilometer.

Presenting the newest version of Cloudify - 4.6 including a orchestrated SD-WAN demo from MEF18 where Cloudify is used as the orchestration platform for uCPE based on containers.
Edge Computing: A Unified Infrastructure for all the Different PiecesCloudify Community
Edge Computing along with 5G promises to revolutionize customer experience with immersive applications that we can only imagine at this point. The edge will include PNFs, VNFs, and mobile-edge applications; requiring containers, virtual machines and bare-metal compute. But while edge computing promises numerous new revenue streams, managing and orchestrating these edge infrastructure environments is not going to be a seamless, instant process. In this webinar, experts in NFV orchestration discuss the concerns you must address in the transition to the edge, and show how you can use available open source tools to create a single management environment for PNFs, VNFs, and mobile-edge applications.
Cloudify: Open vCPE Design Concepts and Multi-Cloud OrchestrationCloudify Community
See how open vCPE can be achieved in the real world and in action, while integrating other VNFs into the service chain, while easily instantiating and managing on any cloud, leveraging open orchestration design concepts. More and more vendors are looking to not only easily onboard their VNFs to the cloud, but also build a stack that is versatile and not locked into one cloud provider or vendor. Join this webinar and learn how Datavision and Cloudify are helping deliver this end-to-end solution across the globe
While the need for network automation is becoming a key part of the overall digital transformation agenda, the reality is that the success rate behind previous attempts to drive network automation (a.k.a NFV) is only at about 30%, where the statistics show that 70% of transformation projects fail!
Converting from a three tier or monolithic application to microservices can be daunting, and often comes at a non-trivial cost or effort. So why are organizations doing it, and how do they justify the expense? We will discuss some of the practices and migration strategies used by organizations who undergo this sort of transformation, such as extracting functions through refactoring and converting them to microservices. As the journey progresses, we learn that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to making applications cloud-native… so the real question needs to be ‘how do I find the right approach for me?’ We can help you begin to answer that question for yourself, by discussing the facets of consideration such as technical, procedural, and risk tolerance to name a few.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert

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.

2. Over the last 12 to 18 months, a growing trend has emerged in the cloud space. Just a few years back, we were accustomed to using a bare metal server for each application—then we evolved to Hypervisors
and virtualization to squeeze more out of our physical resources. The next step was to squeeze even more by splitting those VMs and instances into smaller units—containers. We are now seeing the next
stage in that evolution—Function as a Service—or, as it is more commonly known, serverless.
The Rationale
We are continually looking to optimize our resource usage and costs, and what better way to do so than to eliminate the underlying operating system? Essentially, what most of us do is write code to create
applications. We don’t want to manage operating systems and their dependencies, or to have to orchestrate all of these. We write code, and expect that the code will run—as is—without having to deal with
all the plumbing underneath. This is where serverless comes into play.
The Pioneers—AWS Lambda
As is the case is with many of the things we use today in the public cloud, Amazon were the pioneers in o ering this functionality, with Lambda
(http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/welcome.html). The basic concept of Lambda is to allow you to upload your code (which of course has to be in one of the supported languages) without
having to worry how it deploys or scales—all of this is taken care of by the platform. Your code will run based on the triggers you define, which can be anything from messages in a queue to scheduled tasks
3. —there is a great deal of flexibility allowed. The best thing about this is that you are only billed for the time that your function is actually in use—and the amount of resources you allocate to it. No more
paying for hours of computer resources and storage just because your code needs to run 12 times a day. The granularity available to you is so fine that honestly, unless you are an extremely heavy user, your
costs will probably fit into the free tier available from Amazon (first 1 million requests per month for free (https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/pricing/)).
What About OpenStack?
There are many things in OpenStack (http://cloudify.co/2016/10/13/hybrid-cloud-orchestration-on-openstack-with-cloudify-tosca.html) that are not available as full-fledged services and that are not as
robust as their counterparts in AWS (http://cloudify.co/2017/06/22/bootstrapping-cloudify-4-openstack-aws-azure-simple-step-by-step-tutorial.html). LBaaS
(https://docs.openstack.org/mitaka/networking-guide/config-lbaas.html) and DBaaS (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Trove) are two examples of what the OpenStack community has tried to produce over
a number of years. Unfortunately, these services are not on par with their competitors, and many enterprises refuse to adopt them because of a lack of basic functionality, even a er a number of cycles.
The OpenStack community has recognized the trend toward serverless infrastructure and that there will be (and is) a demand for such a service in OpenStack as well. Currently, there are two competing
projects o ering FaaS on OpenStack, both of which are backed by commercial companies.
StackStorm
StackStorm (https://stackstorm.com/) define their product as an “event-driven automation platform” and presented a session at the last OpenStack Summit in Boston (https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=y2lhCiL8n3M).
(Source: StackStorm presentation—OpenStack Summit Boston)
As you can see above, the solution itself makes use of a number of other OpenStack services, such as Zaquar, Trove, and Mistral. The problem is that the majority of today’s OpenStack deployments hardly
use any of these services in production, as you can see below:

Going down the StackStorm route therefore entails a lot of tinkering, and in many ways is a journey into uncharted waters, since this has not been accepted as a proper OpenStack project.
OpenWhisk
OpenWhisk (https://developer.ibm.com/openwhisk/) is an IBM project that was also demonstrated at the Boston OpenStack Summit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv4M3vqHrGU). The project is
open-source, and one would assume that it is looking to become the de facto solution for serverless on OpenStack (and perhaps also on-premises) clouds in the modern data center. The example that was
presented in the Boston session was based on the specific scenario of a file upload to Swi , which would then trigger a function on OpenWhisk:
(Source: OpenWhisk presentation—OpenStack Summit Boston)
Maturity
As you can see from the two presentations and examples above, serverless is still a work in progress. The OpenStack community itself has yet to decide which one of the solutions they would like to
converge upon to provide a fully integrated serverless solution for OpenStack. The examples above should not be considered fully fledged solutions that anyone could actually use on their OpenStack (or
on-premises) cloud today.

Will Serverless Swallow Private Cloud?
More and more enterprises are moving their workloads to the major public cloud providers (AWS, Azure (http://cloudify.co/2016/10/31/azure-versus-aws-for-enterprise.html), and Google) because the pace
at which OpenStack is progressing is too slow.
This doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with serverless, but rather with aaS functionality as a whole. FaaS will always need some underlying infrastructure to run the actual code—there is no magic
involved—and there will always need to be an operating system underneath. It is a question of how seamless and invisible you make it to the end user (Lambda, Google Cloud functions
(https://cloud.google.com/functions/), and Azure functions (https://azure.microso .com/en-us/services/functions/) are very good examples of how this can be implemented at scale today) and how you
can tie this service into all the other o ers you have in your cloud.
Summary
Cloud professionals would suggest that, if possible, you wait a few more cycles to allow the open-source products and o erings to mature to the point where they can be used in a simple and harmonious
way, so that yours is not one of the first companies actually trying to use these products in a private cloud solution.
If you have an immediate need, you would be better advised to go with one of the major cloud providers, particularly if they are already running your workloads. Take note that not all of the providers are
compatible with each other—and that migrating from one solution to another can be a really complicated operation.
