Riak at Engine Yard Cloud
The document discusses using Riak, an open source NoSQL database, in the cloud to provide highly available and fault tolerant storage for applications. It describes how the authors' application struggled with availability when hosted on AWS, and their research led them to choose Riak as a solution. Riak provides features like consistent hashing, hinted handoff, and active anti-entropy that allow it to scale linearly and remain available even during failures or added/reduced nodes. The document provides guidance on deploying a Riak cluster in the cloud, including choosing instance types, sizing the cluster, disabling swap, using the right filesystem and scheduler, and monitoring and scaling the cluster over time.
When the Cloud is a Rockin: High Availability in Apache CloudStack
CloudStack currently provides a variety bespoke high availability mechanisms for resources such as virtual machines, hosts, and virtual routers. Each of these implementations duplicates the HA check/recovery cycle, as well as, concurrency, persistence, and clustering required manage high available for any CloudStack resource. The High Availability Resource Management Service has been developed to consolidate these concerns -- providing a robust, extensible HA mechanism. Using this service, plugins only need to define health check, activity check, and fence operations.

Platforms of Permission - Fueling Creativity
How do organizations such as Burning Man, Google, Maker Faire and The Flux Foundation enable people to consistently make such incredible inventions? What can businesses learn from these wildly creative and successful groups? They each prioritize the cultivation of “permission engines,” wherein innovations in art, science and technology flourish without limitation. When people feel inspired, engaged, and supported, and are given permission to exercise their full creative potential, the opportunities for invention are endless. But how do you foster that kind of freedom in your organization?

This article describes the story of a woman named Sally and how moving from a nursing home to a group home affected her life. Initially, Sally was excited to move to a group home where she would have her own room and be part of a family. However, the group home neglected Sally - she was not moved from her bed for long periods of time, lost weight, and became isolated. The author had to intervene to get Sally moved from the neglectful group home. Unfortunately, the only other option was to place Sally back in a nursing home with less interaction. The author advocates that people with disabilities deserve community inclusion and individualized support.
Edge Talk: 'Out of our boxes. Patients as agents of change' by Alison Cameron...
Edge Talk: 'Out of our boxes. Patients as agents of change' by Alison Cameron...NHS Improving Quality
Overview by Alison:
Over the 17 years since my diagnosis with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, I have slowly moved along a continuum reclaiming power in respect of my own health. I then chose to go further and use insight gained along the way to push for change in the wider system. My talk will focus on how I was able to make the transition from passive patient to patient leader.
Patient leadership requires a share in power between patient and professional and an acknowledgement that we are more than a “voice”, more than our “patient story”, but also a source of skills and expertise which can be used to effect transformational change.
I believe passionately in genuine co-production – in bringing together patients and professionals in equal partnership, questioning assumptions on all sides and challenging our notion of hierarchy. This has its challenges for all concerned. We are all – to some extent – in boxes labelled by our job title or our diagnosis. These boxes can be defensive bunkers offering an illusion of protection from fear of change in an already chaotic, uncertain climate.
My talk will discuss these challenges and offer solutions as to how we might address them together.
Hopefully my session will help participants find the courage to emerge from boxes labelled “patient” or “professional”, and risk venturing into the territory where both sides are prepared to walk in the shoes of the other and boundaries are blurred. We have the potential then to create something truly transformational.

Organizational Development
If you think of yourself as a change agent, or if solving conflict is a significant part of your work, you may find inspiration in the challenge that was presented to a group of experts in organizational development, how it was framed to them, and their tangible promises to meet it head on. This narrative offers highlights from the conference during which Power+Systems presented that challenge to its trainer community. Using immersive experiential exercises and a proven methodology, Power+Systems focuses on helping people see and better understand the world they operate in rather than fix people. Their goal is to enable people to build robust partnerships up, down and across the organization in ways that make them and their organizations successful.

Let's face it, testing distributed systems is hard. Large number of inputs, partial failures, and asynchrony make these systems seemingly impossible to verify. Formal testing methods are onerous and system correctness continues to elude us. Despite the difficulty, we need to have a way to change our systems with confidence. Integration and unit tests are vital to our sanity and we know it's good for us to use continuous integration to ensure functional consistency across our products.
Come to this talk for a fresh and practical look into the various aspects of distributed systems testing and integration. We will cover CI pipelines: their strengths, weaknesses, and ways to improvement them. Get ready to rediscover the untapped power of your integration practices and develop a burning desire to make them more awesome!

Data antipatterns NYC Devops - 2014
Are you running a Database in the cloud? Worried that you’re doing it wrong?
Engine Yard supports a broad set of databases, with lots of
flexibility for customers to modify and configure their installations. But the freedom to adapt and extend standard functionality comes at the risk of unexpected negative consequences: seemingly benign modifications can seriously affect durability and performance.
During our years of helping customers, I've had the unique opportunity to observe common problems, patterns, and best practices with big (and not so big) data. In this talk I'll highlight the most common pitfalls and tell you how to avoid them (I will most likely rant about other things too!).

Computational Patterns of the Cloud - QCon NYC 2014
This document summarizes a presentation about computational patterns in the cloud. It discusses four key patterns: reclaimable resources, where cloud applications provision resources on demand and release them when not needed; harvesting services, where applications consume external services via APIs rather than maintaining standalone components; distributed systems, where resources and services come together to form distributed systems as the new norm; and continuous everything, where the cloud enables continuous delivery, deployment, and testing practices. The document provides examples and stories about implementing these patterns and discusses challenges organizations may face in adopting cloud-native approaches.
How the Cloud is changing the world
In October 2013 I stopped by Lancaster University's Highwire program to give a seminar on the Cloud and industry disruptions.
Abstract:
Everyone is talking about The Cloud. From disrupting the way we do business to the way we live our lives, it has undoubtedly shifted the way we think about computing, IT operations, innovation, and entrepreneurship. But how should we think about it and why has it brought a paradigm change? What specific technologies can we leverage to improve our lives and how will the next iteration of cloud-based systems look like?
In this seminar, I will introduce you to cloud computing’s history and discuss its applications with practical examples from Engine Yard’s customers, peers, and partners.
See http://www.highwire.lancs.ac.uk/events/Preview/1058 for more information.

Relational Databases in the Cloud - Great Wide Open 2014
In this session we'll go over the two most common open source relational databases. We'll start with a quick introduction to relational theory and an overview of why this technology is still powerful and relevant. We will address the challenges and operational specifics of developing against relational databases on Cloud environments.
Note: This talk is aimed to developers
Hello data
This document discusses different types of databases including relational databases which structure data in tables and allow querying similar to how one thinks, as well as NoSQL databases which prioritize practical use over theoretical structure and require database-specific querying. It provides examples of some NoSQL databases, lists databases commonly used, and recommends resources for learning more about Ruby on Rails and databases from Stanford University professors.
Data Antipatterns
Are you running a database in the cloud? Worried that you're doing it wrong?
Engine Yard supports a broad set of databases with flexibility for customers to modify and configure. However, freedom to adapt and extend standard functionality comes with unexpected negative consequences: modifications can seriously affect durability and performance. I've observed common problems, patterns and best practices with big (and not so big) data. I'll highlight the most common pitfalls and discuss how to avoid them.

Ricon east
The document announces Ricon East 2013 in NYC and that Riak is now generally available with full installation, configuration, monitoring, alerting, and backup support. It also expresses excitement to be back and thanks attendees.
Getting started with Riak in the Cloud
Getting started with Riak in the Cloud involves provisioning a Riak cluster on Engine Yard and optimizing it for performance. Key steps include choosing instance types like m1.large or m1.xlarge that are EBS-optimized, having at least 5 nodes, setting the ring size to 256, disabling swap, using the Bitcask backend, enabling kernel optimizations, and monitoring and backing up the cluster. Benchmarks show best performance from high I/O instance types like hi1.4xlarge that use SSDs rather than EBS storage.

North Bay Ruby Meetup 101911
This document provides an introduction to relational databases, NoSQL databases, and data in general. It includes the following:
- An overview of relational databases and their ACID properties. Relational databases are best for structured, centralized data and scale vertically.
- A survey of several popular NoSQL databases like MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis, and HBase. NoSQL databases are best for unstructured, large quantities of data and scale horizontally.
- General advice that the data and query models, durability needs, scalability needs, and consistency requirements should determine the best database choice. Trying different options is recommended.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
