Getting it Right: OpenStack Private Cloud StorageNetApp
The benefits of cloud are indisputable. Storage, however, remains a complex, expensive aspect of setting up a cloud ― one you can’t afford to get wrong. When it comes to storage for OpenStack, one size doesn’t fit all, and you need to choose the right tool for the job.
Take a look at this presentation to learn:
* What workloads are best suited for performance-optimized block storage
* What storage features are critical to the success of your OpenStack cloud
* How and where to utilize complementary object storage
Taming the cost of your first cloud - CCCEU 2014Tim Mackey
Today everyone is talking about clouds, and a few are building them, but far fewer are operating successful clouds. In this session we'll examine a variety of paradigm shifts IT makes when moving from a traditional virtualization and management mindset to operating a successful cloud. For most organizations, without careful planning the hype of a cloud solution can quickly overcome its capabilities and pre-existing best practices can combine to create the worst possible cloud scenario -- a cloud which isn't economical to operate, and which is more cumbersome to manage than a traditional virtualization farm.
Key topics covered include:
- Successful transition of operational and management paradigm
- How the VM density of clouds change Ops
- What it means to monitor the network in a cloud environment, at hyper-dense virtualization levels
- Preventing storage costs from outpacing delivery costs

Database as a Service (DBaaS) is cloud database hosted and managed by the cloud service providers that can be accessed through public cloud or the hybrid cloud. The cloud provider takes care of provisioning, configuring, setup, maintenance, backups and patching the database. Customers are expected to export the database and start consuming the service through the pay-as-you-go model.
In his session at 5th Big Data Expo, Janakiram MSV will analyze the current market landscape while exploring the available options, strengths and weaknesses of current DBaaS players. He will highlight the key factors that enterprises should consider before adopting a cloud database platform.

For years vendors have been trying to drive down the cost of flash so that the all-flash data center can become reality. The problem is that even the rapidly declining price of flash storage can’t keep pace with the rapidly declining price of hard disk. As a result data that does not need to be on flash storage has to be stored on something less expensive. But does that less expensive storage need to be another hard disk array or could it be stored in the cloud?
In this webinar join Storage Switzerland’s founder George Crump and Avere Systems CEO, Ron Bianchini for an interactive webinar Using the Cloud to Create an All-Flash Data Center.
Webinar: Hyperconvergence is Broken, Learn How to Fix it!Storage Switzerland
While hyperconverged infrastructures (HCI) offer rapid startup they lock organizations into a specific set of vendor compute, storage, networking and hypervisor configurations. And, as the infrastructure scales it becomes increasingly difficult to deliver workload specific levels of performance and data protection.
Stay productive while slicing up the monolith Markus Eisele
DevNexus 2017
Microservices-based architectures are en-vogue. The last couple of
years we have learned how the thought-leaders implement them, and
every other week we have heard about how containers and
Platform-as-a-Service offerings make them ultimately happen.
The problem is that the developers are almost forgotten and left alone
with provisioning and continuous delivery systems, containers and
resource schedulers, and frameworks and patterns to help slice
existing monoliths. How can we get back in control and efficiently
develop them without having to provision complete production-like
environments locally, by hand?
All the new buzzwords, frameworks, and hyped tools have made us forget
ourselves—Java developers–and what it means to be productive and have
fun building systems. The problem that we set out to solve is: how can
we run real-world Microservices-based systems on our local development
machines, managing provisioning, and orchestration of potentially
hundreds of services directly from a single command line tool, without
sacrificing productivity enablers like hot code reloading and instant
turnaround time?
During this talk, you’ll experience first-hand how much fun it can be
to develop large-scale Microservices-based systems. You will learn a
lot about what it takes to fail fast and recover and truly understand
the power of a fully integrated Microservices development environment.
For people who start to create a cloud service, it’s really important to know how to create a scalable cloud service to fit the growth of the future workloads. In this session, we will introduce how to design a scalable cloud service including AWS services introduction and best practices.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne

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.

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.

The LAMP stack is possibly the best know and most widely used
stack. Its proven technology but its also old technology.
The actual server could be a dedicated, VPS or cloud server.
With shared hosting a site is one of many sites located and served
from the same server. This means all sites can have a direct influence
on the performance of the rest.
• Well supported
• Huge install base
• Flexibility
• Scalability
• Security
Pros Cons

Dedicated Servers are similar to VPS’a but where as a VPS is
allocated a part of the hardware resources a Dedicated server has
them all to itself.
Dedicated servers are often found in complex multi-server
architectures.

• High Availability
• Instantly Scalable
• Lower Cost
• Administration Costs
• Unpredictable Billing
• Integrity
Pros Cons
Cloud computing is simply the pooling of computer resources.
In our world they are similar to VPS’a but the resources are on-
demand and provided from a shared pool or Memory and CPU. As a
result the resources are flexible and can burst as required.
Cloud hosting is typically charged per minute + bandwidth hence the
actually monthly cost can vary greatly. Utility Computing? This is the
business model.

18. Closing ThoughtsClosing Thoughts
• Thousands spent on design & development will be instantly ruined
if the hosting is not up to scratch.
• Judge every site on its own merits when deciding on the correct
hosting platform.
• You can’t fudge server administration.
• Web Hosting Talk and Whirlpool are great places to start doing
your homework. But... just because you heard it there, don’t make
it true.
