Ensuring Cloud Native Success: The Greenfield JourneyVMware Tanzu
Speaker: Coté, Director, Technical Marketing, Pivotal
Are you being asked to put more cloud in your strategy? If you’re like most people, the answer is a definite yes. The word “cloud” can mean so many things, however, that making an actionable strategy is impossible. At Pivotal, we divide cloud into two distinct parts: migrating as many legacy applications into SaaS as possible and focusing on perfecting the software you build in-house that runs your business. Gartner is predicting that by 2020, 75% of applications used to support digital businesses will be built in-house. If you’re one of these companies, you’ll need to quickly evaluate how you develop and run your custom written software.
We believe that soon, every company will either be a software company or losing to a competitor who is. It’s time to focus on the craft of managing the software development life-cycle, and this brief, but dense webinar will help launch your efforts to become a software defined business.

More & more organisations are adopting open source principles in order to build software. They recognise that open source projects are a productive & successful way of delivering high quality code that solves complex business problems. These organisations allow their developers to share their work without boundaries, require code reviews to be focussed & open to everyone in the company, encourage documentation to be added to the same code repository & implement rigorous automation to test and deploy their code. By adopting these principles they increase productivity & build better software that is shipped earlier and more often.

Node.js is coming up on its fifth year of existence and is clearly showing signs of maturity, from the core APIs becoming more stable, to the exponential growth of modules in npm to even a number of books being published to support the education needs of developers who want to learn Node. Node.js is officially past the infancy it was once in and is developing into a proper first class technology solution.
With this growth, there are growing pains. We have an exceptionally large and growing community of developers and now, enterprise companies who are adopting and actively supporting and contributing to Node. With this growth comes new challenges and new opportunities to strengthen the value propositions behind using and adopting Node.

OpenStack is a project that in a fairly short amount of time has attracted in its ecosystem most of IT giants, becoming one of the largest collaborative software development efforts ever seen. We'll explore how collaboration works in OpenStack and how companies contribute to the project, what drives their motivations. There will also be time to see examples of how development teams are setup internally at some of these companies in order to maximize effective contributions.
Lessons learned during +25 years of Open Source and how those can be adapted to define the Open Cloud and at what we can do to see this idea materialise.
How to Maximize Effectiveness of Developers Contributing to Free SoftwareStefano Maffulli
OpenStack is a project that in a fairly short amount of time has attracted in its ecosystem most of IT giants, becoming one of the largest collaborative software development efforts ever seen. From inside, it is quite visible that few companies are organized to allow collaboration across corporate borders. More often instead, companies have policies that actively prevent collaboration to happen. Despite the fact that free software has become ubiquitous, organizations have learned how to deal with licensing issues and distributed software engineering to some extent, but the day-to-day collaborative development is still troublesome. In this talk we'll explore how collaboration works in OpenStack and how companies contribute to the project, what drives their motivations. There will also be time to see examples of how development teams are setup and general tips for corporations.

Devopsdays Austin 2015 - Guns, Germs and MicroservicesJohn Willis
Abstract:
This presentation is loosely based on Jared Diamonds Pulitzer Prize winning nonfiction "Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies". The concept that certain gaps in power and technology between human societies originate in environmental differences, which are amplified by various positive feedback loops.
In this presentation we will first level set on the core definitions of Containers and Microservices. We will also discuss another technology called Data Gravity and how the convergence of the three will create a positive feedback loop that will change how we do computing. Of course, Devops and culture will be a core theme to this presentation and an attempt will be made to conclude a consistent tie back to the aforementioned title of this presentation.
A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Cloud Native StackQAware GmbH
ContainerConf 2016, Mannheim: Vortrag von Mario-Leander Reimer (@LeanderReimer, Cheftechnologe bei QAware).
Abstract: Cloud-Größen wie Google, Twitter und Netflix haben die Kern-Bausteine ihrer Infrastruktur quelloffen verfügbar gemacht. Das Resultat aus vielen Jahren Cloud-Erfahrung ist nun frei zugänglich, und jeder kann seine eigenen cloud-nativen Anwendungen entwickeln – Anwendungen, die in der Cloud zuverlässig laufen und fast beliebig skalieren. Die einzelnen Bausteine wachsen zu einem großen Ganzen zusammen, dem Cloud Native Stack. In dieser Session stellen wir die wichtigsten Konzepte und Schlüssel-Technologien vor, und bringen dann eine Spring Cloud basierte Beispiel Anwendung schrittweise auf Kubernetes und DC/OS zum Laufen. Dabei diskutieren wir verschiedene praktikable Architektur-Alternativen.
DevOpsDays Austin: Helping Horses Become Unicorns, Chef's Operations Maturity...Matt Ray
Helping customers evaluate their ability to deploy and operate systems while managing incidents is key to our Consulting practice. We have developed an operations maturity model that provides a roadmap for understanding and improving mean time to production while setting realistic expectations. This session will explain the challenges and thresholds for becoming a more effective organization.
Over the last several years, we’ve seen the emergence new application architecture – dubbed “cloud native” – that is highly distributed, elastic and composable with the container as the modular compute abstraction. With that, a new breed of tools has emerged to help deploy, manage and scale these applications. Cluster management, service discovery, scheduling, etc. – terms that previously were unknown or, at best, reserved for the realm of high-performance computing – are now becoming part of every IT organization’s lexicon. As the pace of innovation continues at breakneck speed, a taxonomy to help understand the elements of this new stack is helpful.
The “Cloud-Native” Ecosystem presentation is the consequence of many conversations with developers, CIOs and founders who are playing a critical role in shaping this new application paradigm. It attempts to define the discreet components of the cloud-native stack and calls out the vendors, products and projects that comprise the ecosystem.
Note, this is an ever-evolving document that’s meant to be collaborative and is by no means a hardened or exhaustive industry landscape. If you have suggestions, edits and/or know of products or companies that should be included please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Dylan Beattie "Architecture: The Stuff That's Hard to Change"Fwdays
We’ve all heard of the idea of ‘software architecture’. We’ve read books about domain-driven design and event sourcing, we’ve been to conferences and learned about microservices and REST APIs. Some of us remember working with n-tiers and stored procedures; some of us are still using them. But the role of a systems architect is still one of the most misunderstood things about the software development process. What does an architect actually do? If you’re working with a systems architect, what can you expect from them? And if you are a systems architect, what is your team expecting from you?
In this talk, Dylan Beattie will share his own insights into the idea of architecture as part of a software development process. We’ll explore some popular architectural patterns and processes – and a couple of obscure ones as well – and look at how, and when, you can incorporate those patterns into your own projects. We’ll talk about how the idea of software architecture has changed over time, and share some tips and advice for developers who find themselves working with architecture as part of their role.
ICC involves multiple enterprise disciplines like architecture, organizational structure, organizational processes, funding, costing etc. that need to be designed in an integrated manner to get the desired results.

Open Source Stories From the Trenches - 6 Surprising Things Enterprises Can D...All Things Open
Presented by: Gilles Gravier
Presented at the All Things Open 2021
Raleigh, NC, USA
Raleigh Convention Center
Abstract: Open source has been around since the last century. Even before being called open source, it was originally called free software (as in freedom to run, study, hack, and share). Leadership teams of businesses today are facing extreme pressure from markets, competition, but also from the current pandemic that is radically changing the way we do business and engage with our customers. They need to adapt, imagine new revenue models, innovate as never before, and attract a new generation of talent that will fuel this evolution and create a future where they are relevant. Organizations large and small have started leveraging the benefits of open source to levels probably never imagined by the original inventors of the concept. Because open source is a way to develop software that inherently allows people from multiple locations, cultures, backgrounds, organizations, even motivations, to work together on common projects, organizations are doing surprising things with it. Let’s explore a few.

Ten lessons I painfully learnt while moving from software developer to entrep...Wojciech Seliga
My presentation from Devoxx Poland 2016 conference - the newest, slightly revised version.
For many years I was a software developer. I would concentrate on the code, software projects and the interactions with my closes team and the users. I was sure that Agile solves all world’s problems. I would laugh over Scott Adam’s Dilbert comics with his Point Hair Boss. Life was simple, life was good. Now for 8+ years I have been running a software company, not a small one anymore. I became myself a full-time boss who only codes sometimes at home or during hackathons.
This session is about sharing with you those critical lessons which I painfully learnt when trying to grow into this new role - transitioning from being a software engineer into being an entrepreneur and top manager. Wheres not all of the lessons may or will (if you dream about your own startup) apply to your case, being aware of them may save you tons of time, energy, money or even help you to avoid the total disaster - burying your own company or dreams. And after all, sharing war stories from the past is fun … when these stories are the past.

DevOps -- A 10 year retrospective (based on interviews conducted at DevOps Da...Barton George
This presentation, delivered at DevOps Days Austin 2022, traces the evolution of DevOps -- its tools, technology, leaders and contributors -- from 2012 to 2022. The presented content is drawn from over 40 video interviews I conducted at the event starting in 2012. Cited interviews include those with Andrew Clay Shafer, Patrick Debois, Damon Edwards, John Willis, Michael Cote, Nick Galbreath, Christian Beedgen, Alexis LeQuoc and Jason Hansen (links to the interviews are embedded in the slides).
The retrospective shows how the Austin event provided an early glimpse at startups that would grow into key DevOps players as well as concepts that years later would become part of the vernacular. (Datadog, now valued at over $40B, was still in private beta when they participated in 2012 and the term “DevSecOps” which was presented at that same event wouldn’t show up in Google searches for another four years). A key theme throughout the presentation is how over the years the defining characteristic of DevOps has been pulled back and forth between culture and technology, and how the lack of a crisp definition has hampered adoption.

This short presentation takes you through how DevOps came to the fore, explains its role within a Modern IT environment and is supported by two demos. The first demos illustrates how you can combine GitLab + Kubernetes + persistent storage (PowerMax) in an automated fashion to implement automated workflows and features . The second steps you through how you can leverage an Ansible playbook to automate the setup and management of storage infrastructure at scale (Ansible modules are included with Isilon and PowerScale storage).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Editor's Notes

The install image available for Sputnik contains
drivers/patches for Hardware enablement
a basic offering of key tools and utilities (see the complete list at the end of this entry)
coming soon, a software management tool to go out to a github repository to pull down various developer profiles.
Issues addressed
- An issue with brightness
- The Wifi hotkey
- The touchpad and multi touch support
The first two have been resolved but the last one re the touchpad is still at large. The issue is a bit of a pain particularly the lack of palm rejection support which can cause your cursor to jump by mistake

June 20, 2012 – Touchpad driver: The biggest draw back in these initial weeks has been the lack of multi-touch support in the touchpad. For some this has been annoying, for others this has been such a pain that they have put their system aside until the driver becomes available. I’m happy to say that as of a few hours ago, a fully open source driver is now publicly available. A big thanks to Kamal from Canonical, Mario on the Dell side for driving this, and the vendor Cypress for doing the work!
July 2 Beta program announced, July 18 announced at OSCON that it would be a real product in the Fall

Aug 27, 2012 – Announced Beta cosmonauts chosen. “We had hoped to make the beta program worldwide, but after digging in we found that the resources needed to execute on it turned out to be more than our little Dell/Canonical team could handle. As a result we have decided to narrow our Beta effort to the United States”
