Buzzwords: Microservices, containers and serverless - real life applications ...drnugent
Modern applications are moving away from the traditional request/response loop to more event-driven patterns. The concept of “serverless” computing is floated around when discussing microservices and modern architectural design patterns. But what is serverless, and how - if at all - is it different than microservices?
We’re entering a world where developers won’t have to think about provisioning resources to run their code. While serverless computing sounds like nirvana, there’s an upfront investment in changing development and operational patterns to allow for such a level of automated orchestration. Meanwhile, innovative teams have embraced the use of microservices as a direct response to the costly and cumbersome monolithic methodologies of the past, but new questions have arisen around use cases, planning, and best practices for implementation.
This talk explains why now is the dawn of the serverless age. It also discusses best practices and tools that are available to address the challenges of service-driven architectures head-on while deploying in a serverless environment.
Sebastian Bretschneider presents the Itelligence / BIT Group use case for using Ansible to orchestrate custom end user IaaS solution in Apache CloudStack at the CloudStack user group in Leipzig in November 2017.

OpenNebulaConf2019 - Welcome and Project Update - Ignacio M. Llorente, Rubén ...OpenNebula Project
We've made our way into the world of open cloud — where each organization can find the right cloud for its unique needs. A single cloud management platform cannot be all things to all people. There will be a cloud space with several offerings focused on different environments and/or industries. The OpenNebula commitment to the open cloud is at the very base of its mission — to become the simplest cloud enabling platform — and its purpose — to bring simplicity to the private and hybrid enterprise cloud. OpenNebula exists to help companies build simple, cost-effective, reliable, open enterprise clouds on existing IT infrastructure. The OpenNebula Conference will be a great opportunity to communicate and share our vision and commitment, to look back at how the project has grown in the last 9 years, and to shed some insight into what to expect from the project in the near future.

Deploy Spark ML and Tensorflow AI Models from Notebooks to Microservices - No...Chris Fregly
In this completely 100% Open Source demo-based talk, Chris Fregly from PipelineIO will be addressing an area of machine learning and artificial intelligence that is often overlooked: the real-time, end-user-facing "serving” layer in a hybrid-cloud and on-premise deployment environment using Jupyter, NetflixOSS, Docker, and Kubernetes.
Serving models to end-users in real-time in a highly-scalable, fault-tolerant manner requires not only an understanding of machine learning fundamentals, but also an understanding of distributed systems and scalable microservices.
Chris will combine his work experience from both Databricks and Netflix to present a 100% open source, real-world, hybrid-cloud, on-premise, and NetflixOSS-based production-ready environment to serve your notebook-based Spark ML and TensorFlow AI models with highly-scalable and highly-available robustness.

Everyone Loves Docker Containers Before They Understand Docker Containers - A...ITCamp
Each year the IT world offers a hype-word. The last decade has all been about mobile, cloud, Big Data and IoT. In the context of cloud apps however, monolithic applications have little to offer in terms of HA and DR and their deployment process is mostly an error-prone operation. Curious enough, even though container have been around for many years, the hype word nowadays is containers (along with microservices), and that’s probably because of Docker, who made containers really easy to use.
Throughout this talk, I will cover the importance of containers and what Azure has to offer in terms of containers, namely Azure Container Services. And because deploying a single container isn’t part of the real world scenarios, I will also show you how you can manage (aka orchestrate) an application in the real world. Don’t be fooled by the title though! This session will not be exclusively about Docker, it will be about containers, about Docker images, about orchestrating containerized applications, about Azure Container Service, about deploying ASP.NET Core Applications to Docker Containers in Azure and about configuring release pipelines in Visual Studio Team Services and taking advantage of Docker containers.

Pulling Back the Curtain –CloudStack in Private and Community CloudsChip Childers
Keynote presented at the CloudStack Collaboration Conference EU 2014
CloudStack might be best known for it's deployments within the service provider industry, but the adoption of CloudStack for private and community clouds has led to some fascinating user stories. We don't hear as much about CloudStack's use within private clouds, perhaps because the platform is so foundational yet easy to implement. But don't be fooled, organizations around the globe are relying on CloudStack to be the core of their agile infrastructure strategy. Come pull back the curtain…
UKVMUG 2016 - Demystifying the Future of IT, an IT practitioners guideJulian Wood
This document appears to be the slides from a presentation on the future of IT and multi-cloud strategies. Some key points summarized:
- IT is changing rapidly with new technologies like containers, serverless computing, and the rise of multi-cloud environments. Simplicity should be a goal when managing infrastructure across private and public clouds.
- Multi-cloud strategies allow using the best cloud for each workload and reduce vendor lock-in. However, they also increase complexity around integration, security, and billing across different cloud platforms.
- Adopting a DevOps approach and treating infrastructure as code can help manage complexity when deploying applications across multiple cloud environments. Microservices architectures and containers are also well-suited
CloudstackDay Brazil - The best kept secret in the cloudShapeBlue
Giles Sirett is the CEO of ShapeBlue, a company that provides consulting and support for the Apache CloudStack open source cloud orchestration platform. CloudStack is a scalable and multi-tenant cloud platform that can deliver infrastructure-as-a-service clouds. It has over 300 production deployments, supports various hypervisors, and powers major public clouds and enterprise private clouds. However, CloudStack still remains relatively unknown despite its maturity and production use, which Sirett attributes to being in the wrong place at the wrong time early on.

In cloud computing environments, VMs require fast access to resources like storage and networking. The hardware that the VMs access is implemented in software and/or by passing through a dedicated hardware device. Software-based solutions consume extra CPU cycles, thus resulting in poor performance. Also, these require to expose a device-model to the guest, thus increasing the attack surface. Conversely, hardware passthrough provides better performance and security but can be expensive in terms of the number of physical resources, since each device is dedicated to a single VM. This talk focuses on how Vates is working on sharing hardware resources among VMs by relying on dedicated processors named Data Processing Units (DPU). More precisely, Vates work on offloading Xen hypervisor of storage emulation by relying on Kalray K200 DPU PCIe controllers, a hardware accelerator based on MPPA architecture.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) invited Taylor Paschal, Knowledge & Information Management Consultant at Enterprise Knowledge, to speak at a Knowledge Management Lunch and Learn hosted on June 12, 2024. All Office of Administration staff were invited to attend and received professional development credit for participating in the voluntary event.
The objectives of the Lunch and Learn presentation were to:
- Review what KM ‘is’ and ‘isn’t’
- Understand the value of KM and the benefits of engaging
- Define and reflect on your “what’s in it for me?”
- Share actionable ways you can participate in Knowledge - - Capture & Transfer
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

MAURICE NETTESHEIM
Head of Shared & Cloud Services - BT Compute
“At BT we use Apache CloudStack to underpin our Cloud
Compute service. We have compute zones in 16 countries
which support key services for many of our Global customers.
CloudStack gives us the full range of functionality we require
from an IaaS platform while still being easy to deploy, scalable,
flexible and robust.
We would like to thank the Apache CloudStack community for
their continued development of this great technology, and we
ourselves will continue to contribute”

"The mission of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is to
provide software for the public good.
We do this by providing services and support for many like-
minded software project communities consisting of
individuals who choose to participate in ASF activities."
The Apache Way
36. @CLOUDSTACK #CCC2019US #CLOUDSTACKWORKS @APACHECON
"Provide Software for the Public Good"
• We produce software that is non-excludable and non-
rivalrous
• Use of the software in any context does not reduce its
availability to others
• Users and contributors have no committed responsibility to
the foundation, our projects or our communities
• Use of a license that conforms to the Open Source Definition
is necessary but not sufficient to deliver on our mission
The Apache Way
37. @CLOUDSTACK #CCC2019US #CLOUDSTACKWORKS @APACHECON
"Provide Software for the Public Good"
• Used in Universities and research institutions
• Providers to Schools
• Indirectly via CloudStack powered public cloud providers
• Even ‘Corporate Organisations’ are providing services to
someone, AND every time we make CloudStack better, we’re
making the lives of those operating those installs easier.
The Apache Way
38. @CLOUDSTACK #CCC2019US #CLOUDSTACKWORKS @APACHECON
• Community of Peers
• Open Communications
• Consensus Decision Making
• Community Over Code
