The document discusses OpenStack's history and principles of being open source, with an open design and development process. It outlines Rackspace's involvement over time, including launching its first cloud in 2008. It also summarizes the growing OpenStack community and Rackspace's use of OpenStack projects in its cloud products and private cloud software.
Openstack presentation presented to the Sysadmins Guild in Australia. Talks about what Openstack is, where it's coming from, how it is evolving and growing and where it's going.
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world’s largest centres for scientific research. Its business is fundamental physics, finding out what the universe is made of and how it works. At CERN, accelerators such as the 27km Large Hadron Collider, are used to study the basic constituents of matter. This talk reviews the challenges to record and analyse the 25 Petabytes/year produced by the experiments and the investigations into how OpenStack could help to deliver a more agile computing infrastructure.

10 Years of OpenStack at CERN - From 0 to 300k coresBelmiro Moreira
CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, provides the infrastructure and resources to thousands of scientists all around the world to uncover the mysteries of the Universe. In the quest to build a private Cloud Infrastructure to support its users, CERN started early evaluating the OpenStack project, building several prototypes and engaging with the community. Finally, in 2013 CERN released its production Cloud Infrastructure using OpenStack. Since then we moved from a few hundred cores to a multi-cell deployment spread between different regions. After 7 years deploying and managing OpenStack in production at a large scale, we now look back and discuss the challenges of building a massive scale infrastructure from 0 to +300K cores. In this talk we will dive into the history, architecture, tools and technical decisions behind the CERN Cloud Infrastructure over the years.
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is running for several years a large OpenStack Cloud that helps thousands of scientists to analyze the data from the LHC.
In 2012, early in the design phase of the CERN Cloud we decided to use Nova Cells to enable the infrastructure to scale to thousands of nodes. Now with more than 280K cores spread across 70 cells that are hosted in two data centres we were faced with the challenge to migrate to Nova Cells V2 required in the Pike release.
In this presentation, we will describe how Nova Cells allowed CERN to scale to thousands of nodes, its advantages and how we mitigate the implementation issues of Nova Cells V1. Next, we will cover how we upgraded Nova from Newton with Cells V1 to Pike with Cells V2. We will explain the steps that we followed and the issues that we faced during the upgrade. Finally, we will report our experience with Cells V2 at scale, its caveats and how we are mitigate them.
What can I expect to learn?
This presentation describes how CERN migrated from Cells V1 to Cells V2 when upgraded from Newton to Pike release.
You will learn the procedures followed by CERN in order to migrate Cells V1 to Cells V2 in a large production environment.
The issues found during the upgrade and how we mitigate them will be discussed.
Also, we will present how Cells V2 behaves in a large scale deployment with serveral thounsands nodes in 70 cells.
This presentation is a basic overview of the OpenStack Cloud. It was presented on September 23, 2015 in Orlando Florida at the Downtown UCF Incubation Office. The session provides a hi level overview of the OpenStack and a list of training resources to get up to speed on OpenStack.

The Evolution of OpenStack – From Infancy to EnterpriseRackspace
As OpenStack turns 5 this year, we thought it would be a good time to take a look back at the evolution of OpenStack. We start with a quick overview of what OpenStack is, how OpenStack came to be and describe the OpenStack Foundation. Next we describe the problem that OpenStack helps to solve, the components of OpenStack and the timeline for when these components came to be. Last, we outline the current features and benefits that make OpenStack ready for the enterprise with supporting Enterprise use case examples. Blog can be found here (
https://developer.rackspace.com/blog/evolution-of-openstack-from-infancy-to-enterprise/) and webinar can be found here (https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/11427/138613)
A session in the DevNet Zone at Cisco Live, Berlin. There are several new OpenStack projects/services that are built on core OpenStack infrastructure services. This session will first briefly discuss the changes introduced for the project governance structure in OpenStack. Subsequently, the focus of the presentation will be to provide feature and architecture details on few of the new projects and services in OpenStack. These will include Trove-Database Service, Sahara-Dataprocessing Service, Congress - Policy Service and Magnum -- Container Service. A summary of other OpenStack related services will also be provided.

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.
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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
"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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
