Addressing Issues of Risk, and Governance in OpenStack without sacrificing Agility
Audience: Intermediate
Topic: Public & Hybrid Clouds
Abstract: OpenStack has rapidly moved beyond the “science project” label that many of its detractors’ use, but for many stakeholders there are still many uncertainties around governance, compliance, data security and data retention. These issues are the biggest inhibitors to adoption of any cloud technology and left unanswered will slow down the adoption of OpenStack, particularly within government and highly regulated industries such as healthcare. In this presentation NetApp outlines a hybrid approach that leverages the best of open-source and next generation technologies within an OpenStack deployment, as well as a way of unifying data management across OpenStack, HyperScale public cloud and traditional Enterprise architecture that addresses these questions while providing a solid platform for rapid innovation.

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.
Speaker Bio: Steve Tegeler – Director of Systems Engineering, VMware

In the data analytics space none can argue that Spark has become the preferred tool for the Data Scientist, Business Analyst and for the Developer. At Intel, Spark is widely used across the organization to interact with Hive, to process streaming data, to ingest data from diverse sources to be used in machine learning or data analytics. In this presentation, we want to share how reusable ingestion components using Spark-sql has accelerated our application development phase. We will be discussing the challenges we faced at Intel when running Spark-on-yarn applications. Also have you spent time wondering why your Spark-sql query was running very slowly or pondering different methods for ingesting data faster from an RDBMs? We will review Spark-on-yarn deployment and configuration. We will also describe the challenges posed by handling and processing large data-sets. Finally, we will share recommendations on how to tune spark jobs to optimize job performance by properly allocating resources.
Teaching Apache Spark Clusters to Manage Their Workers Elastically: Spark Sum...Spark Summit
Devops engineers have applied a great deal of creativity and energy to invent tools that automate infrastructure management, in the service of deploying capable and functional applications. For data-driven applications running on Apache Spark, the details of instantiating and managing the backing Spark cluster can be a distraction from focusing on the application logic. In the spirit of devops, automating Spark cluster management tasks allows engineers to focus their attention on application code that provides value to end-users.
Using Openshift Origin as a laboratory, we implemented a platform where Apache Spark applications create their own clusters and then dynamically manage their own scale via host-platform APIs. This makes it possible to launch a fully elastic Spark application with little more than the click of a button.
We will present a live demo of turn-key deployment for elastic Apache Spark applications, and share what we’ve learned about developing Spark applications that manage their own resources dynamically with platform APIs.
The audience for this talk will be anyone looking for ways to streamline their Apache Spark cluster management, reduce the workload for Spark application deployment, or create self-scaling elastic applications. Attendees can expect to learn about leveraging APIs in the Kubernetes ecosystem that enable application deployments to manipulate their own scale elastically.
Practical Chaos Engineering will show how to start running chaos experiments in your infrastructure and will try to guide your through the principles of chaos.
This presentation was given at the Boston Django meetup on November 16, and surveyed several leading PaaS providers including Stackato, Dotcloud, OpenShift and Heroku.
For each PaaS provider, I documented the steps necessary to deploy Mezzanine, a popular Django-based CMS and blogging platform.
At the end of the presentation, I do a wrap-up of the different providers and provide a comparison matrix showing which providers have which features. This matrix is likely to go out-of-date quickly because these providers are adding new features all the time.
From common errors seen in running Spark applications, e.g., OutOfMemory, NoClassFound, disk IO bottlenecks, History Server crash, cluster under-utilization to advanced settings used to resolve large-scale Spark SQL workloads such as HDFS blocksize vs Parquet blocksize, how best to run HDFS Balancer to re-distribute file blocks, etc. you will get all the scoop in this information-packed presentation.
Deep Dive: Memory Management in Apache SparkDatabricks
Memory management is at the heart of any data-intensive system. Spark, in particular, must arbitrate memory allocation between two main use cases: buffering intermediate data for processing (execution) and caching user data (storage). This talk will take a deep dive through the memory management designs adopted in Spark since its inception and discuss their performance and usability implications for the end user.

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!

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.

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.

"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.

Exercise 1:
You arrive to work and discover one of you compute nodes had been hard powered off. The
node was running three high priority instances, a small 60GB Windows instance and two
medium RHEL instances.
Goal:
Without rebuilding the compute node, restart the instances on another node.
Example Scenario

Exercise 3:
One of the admins accidentally dropped a database table. However, rather than just clearing
out the redundant data they dropped all the tables form the OpenStack nova database.
Thankfully you saw the user do this and can respond quickly.
Goal:
Redirect users to a temporary site stating that an outage has occurred. Restore the database
and ensure that all services are able to successfully interact with the database before
removing the redirect
