Infrastructure as Code 101: Steve Tegeler + Nathan Ness, VMwareOpenStack
Audience: Beginner
About: As OpenStack gains traction in today’s enterprise environments, other cloudy concepts are beginning to take hold in enterprises as well. Today’s enterprises are transitioning from waterfall to agile, more interested in DevOps, and are adopting programmable infrastructure faster than ever before. To maximize returns on the investments today’s enterprises are making, IT departments need to learn new skills and new concepts. Infrastructure as Code (IAC) is one of those concepts that everyone hears a lot about, but in many cases, it is not well understood. Appdevs need to learn infrastructure, infrastructure teams need to learn software development strategies. Bridging the gaps between the two teams can drive the overall consumption of an OpenStack cloud. This session will discuss the basic concepts of infrastructure as code and how to get started. We will also review what it takes to get started (Software repositories, Version Control, etc) and strategies for selling your cloud.

Cisco: Cassandra adoption on Cisco UCS & OpenStackDataStax Academy
n this talk we will address how we developed our Cassandra environments utilizing Cisco UCS Open Stack Platform with the DataStax Enterprise Edition software. In addition we are utilizing OpenSource CEPH storage in our Infrastructure to optimize the Performance and reduce the costs.
Ceph is an open source project, which provides software-defined, unified storage solutions. Ceph is a distributed storage system which is massively scalable and high-performing without any single point of failure. From the roots, it has been designed to be highly scalable, up to exabyte level and beyond while running on general-purpose commodity hardware.
Storage tiering and erasure coding in Ceph (SCaLE13x)Sage Weil
Ceph is designed around the assumption that all components of the system (disks, hosts, networks) can fail, and has traditionally leveraged replication to provide data durability and reliability. The CRUSH placement algorithm is used to allow failure domains to be defined across hosts, racks, rows, or datacenters, depending on the deployment scale and requirements.
Recent releases have added support for erasure coding, which can provide much higher data durability and lower storage overheads. However, in practice erasure codes have different performance characteristics than traditional replication and, under some workloads, come at some expense. At the same time, we have introduced a storage tiering infrastructure and cache pools that allow alternate hardware backends (like high-end flash) to be leveraged for active data sets while cold data are transparently migrated to slower backends. The combination of these two features enables a surprisingly broad range of new applications and deployment configurations.
This talk will cover a few Ceph fundamentals, discuss the new tiering and erasure coding features, and then discuss a variety of ways that the new capabilities can be leveraged.
OpenNebula Conf 2014 | Using Ceph to provide scalable storage for OpenNebula ...NETWAYS
Ceph is a open source distributed storage system which provides object, block and file interfaces. The Ceph block device interface (RBD) and object interface (RGW) are popular building blocks in private cloud deployments, and OpenNebula includes a datastore driver for Ceph.
Swinburne University of Technology - Shunde Zhang & Kieran Spear, AptiraOpenStack
We recently teamed up with our good friends at SUSE to build a very high-performing and scalable storage landscape at a fraction of the cost than with traditional storage systems for the Swinburne University of Technology.

Audience Level
Intermediate
Synopsis
Today’s fast-paced development environment has changed the compliance landscape. Many software projects consist of more than 50% Open Source Software (OSS) components, but as much as 99% are undocumented, increasing the complexities of managing your company’s software compliance process.
Of particular concern is “Zombie software”, or software that is outdated and contains vulnerable versions of certain components. Zombies can live in your code forever if you’re not aware of them. The acceleration of modern development lifecycles and the breakdown of an undocumented software supply chain have opened up new pathways for zombies to enter your software – leaving you exposed to security threats.
This presentation discusses best practices for implementing an Open Source Software management strategy that covers common pitfalls and commercial licence issues as well as the optimal way to track and eliminate the risks associated with Zombies!

Supercomputing by API: Connecting Modern Web Apps to HPCOpenStack
Audience Level
Intermediate
Synopsis
The traditional user experience for High Performance Computing (HPC) centers around the command line, and the intricacies of the underlying hardware. At the same time, scientific software is moving towards the cloud, leveraging modern web-based frameworks, allowing rapid iteration, and a renewed focus on portability and reproducibility. This software still has need for the huge scale and specialist capabilities of HPC, but leveraging these resources is hampered by variation in implementation between facilities. Differences in software stack, scheduling systems and authentication all get in the way of developers who would rather focus on the research problem at hand. This presentation reviews efforts to overcome these barriers. We will cover container technologies, frameworks for programmatic HPC access, and RESTful APIs that can deliver this as a hosted solution.

Understanding blue store, Ceph's new storage backend - Tim Serong, SUSEOpenStack
Audience Level
Intermediate
Synopsis
Ceph – the most popular storage solution for OpenStack – stores all data as a collection of objects. This object store was originally implemented on top of a POSIX filesystem, an approach that turned out to have a number of problems, notably with performance and complexity.
BlueStore, a new storage backend for Ceph, was created to solve these issues; the Ceph Jewel release included an early prototype. The code and on-disk format were declared stable (but experimental) for Ceph Kraken, and now in the upcoming Ceph Luminous release, BlueStore will be the recommended default storage backend.
With a 2-3x performance boost, you’ll want to look at migrating your Ceph clusters to BlueStore. This talk goes into detail about what BlueStore does, the problems it solves, and what you need to do to use it.
Speaker Bio:
Tim works for SUSE, hacking on Ceph and related technologies. He has spoken often about distributed storage and high availability at conferences such as linux.conf.au. In his spare time he wrangles pigs, chickens, sheep and ducks, and was declared by one colleague “teammate most likely to survive the zombie apocalypse”.

The Why and How of HPC-Cloud Hybrids with OpenStack - Lev Lafayette, Universi...OpenStack
Audience Level
Intermediate
Synopsis
High performance computing and cloud computing have traditionally been seen as separate solutions to separate problems, dealing with issues of performance and flexibility respectively. In a diverse research environment however, both sets of compute requirements can occur. In addition to the administrative benefits in combining both requirements into a single unified system, opportunities are provided for incremental expansion.
The deployment of the Spartan cloud-HPC hybrid system at the University of Melbourne last year is an example of such a design. Despite its small size, it has attracted international attention due to its design features. This presentation, in addition to providing a grounding on why one would wish to build an HPC-cloud hybrid system and the results of the deployment, provides a complete technical overview of the design from the ground up, as well as problems encountered and planned future developments.

This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
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.
