Cloud 2.0: Containers, Microservices and Cloud HybridizationMark Hinkle
In a very short time cloud computing has become a major factor in the way we deliver infrastructure and services. Though we’ve quickly breezed through the ideas of hosted cloud and orchestration. This talk will focus on the next evolution of cloud and how the evolution of technologies like container (like Docker), microservices the way Netflix runs their cloud) and how hybridization (applications running on Mesos across Kubernetes clusters in both private and public clouds).
Cloud 2.0 - How Containers, Microservices and Open Source Software are Redefi...Mark Hinkle
Led by the rocket like success of Amazon Web Services cloud computing is a paradigm shift in the way we host and deploy infrastructure. Organizations are consuming cloud infrastructure across multiple cloud providers both inside their data center and the data centers of others. The advent of highly portable workloads via containers (e.g. Docker) and discrete units of computing delivered by microservices are enabling organizations (like Netflix) to deploy complex multi-layered products and services at breakneck speeds.
This talk will give an overview of the major cloud services and the open source software (e.g. OpenStack, Apache CloudStack) that can be used to deliver and manage cloud computing infrastructure(e.g. Puppet, Chef, Ansible). The discussion will cover the evolution of cloud computing and how that sets the stage for realizing the agility, flexibility and power of cloud computing.
Attendees should expect to learn about the leading technologies in cloud computing, strategies for using open source software to create/manage cloud computing services and to gain an understanding how current developments are providing a way to create a single cloud fabric that best serves their individual needs.
Running your own infrastructure *can* be as little as half the cost of running on AWS once you are at scale. OpenStack-based cloud systems can provide the same or similar economies of scale if you leverage the lessons of AWS and GCE when building your cloud. This talk discusses the economic factors in designing a cost-efficient AWS + OpenStack hybrid cloud. We look at the issues involved in repatriating existing applications, and show a couple of real-world demonstration of tools that can assist in the repatriation process. Repatriation isn quite as simple as hitting the Easy button, but if you plan your deployment correctly, you can make it work, both technically and economically.

All Things Open : Crash Course in Open Source Cloud Computing Mark Hinkle
Very few trends in IT have generated as much buzz as cloud computing. This session will cut through the hype and quickly clarify the ontology for cloud computing. The bulk of the conversation will focus on the open source software that can be used to build compute clouds (infrastructure-as-a-service) and the complimentary open source management tools that can be combined to automate the management of cloud computing environments.
The session will appeal to anyone who has a good grasp of traditional data center infrastructure but is struggling with the benefits and migration path to a cloud computing environment. Systems administrators and IT generalists will leave the discussion with a general overview of the options at their disposal to effectively build and manage their own cloud computing environments using free and open source software.

This topic introduces the need of a unique architecture style for Cloud Native application deployments. Further, the fitment of DevOps, usage of Microservices and the runtime of Cloud Native application (* as a Service) are covered in detail. The need of distributed computing in Cloud for Cloud Native applications is trivial to understand. Insights on the same are covered.
Made for Each Other: Microservices + PaaSVMware Tanzu
Companies need to build better software faster to compete. But existing monolithic applications, legacy platforms, and lengthy operational deployment cycles are holding innovation back. Microservices are becoming the cloud architecture of choice because they offer the ability to loosely couple applications into discrete services that can be surgically changed without requiring disruptive overhauls. This approach enables the responsiveness and rapid change needed by the business.
Enterprise PaaS is a critical foundation to simplify the operations, governance, and health management of these new architectures. Together with a DevOps culture, microservices and PaaS are the engine that drives innovation at speed.

The New Open Distributed Application ArchitectureGordon Haff
The platform for developing and running modern workloads has changed. This new platform brings together the open source innovation being driven in containers and container packaging, in distributed resource management and orchestration, and in DevOps toolchains and processes to deploy infrastructure and management optimized for the new class of distributed application that is becoming the norm.
In this session, Red Hat's Gordon Haff discusses the key trends coming together to change IT infrastructure and the applications that will run on it. These include:
Container-based platforms designed for modern application development and deployment
The ability to design microservices-based applications using modular and reusable parts
The orchestration of distributed components
Data integration with mobile and Internet-of-Things services
Iterative development, testing, and deployment using Platform-as-a-Service and integrated continuous delivery systems
Cloud Foundry open Platform as a Service makes it easy to operate, scale and deploy application for your dedicated cloud environments. It enables developers and operators to be significantly more agile, writing great applications and deliver them in days instead of months. Cloud Foundry takes care of all the infrastructure and network plumbing that you need to build, run and operate your applications and can do this while patching and updating systems and services without any downtime.
The Cloud Native Journey with Simon ElishaChloe Jackson
The ability to deliver software is no longer a differentiator. In fact, it is a basic requirement for survival. Companies that embrace cloud native patterns of software delivery will survive; companies that don’t will not.
In this webinar, we will:
- Look at the common patterns that distinguish cloud native companies and the architectures that they employ.
- Discover that an opinionated platform, one that stretches from the infrastructure all the way to the application framework, rather than ad-hoc automation, is an essential component to an enterprise's cloud native journey.
- Show that the combination of Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Spring is the complete cloud native platform.
Maintaining SLOs of Cloud-native Applications via Self-Adaptive Resource SharingVladimir Podolskiy
Presentation at 13th IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2019) by Panos Patros and Vladimir Podolskiy.
Link to the preprint of the paper: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/332574597_Maintaining_SLOs_of_Cloud-native_Applications_via_Self-Adaptive_Resource_Sharing
Abstract of the talk: With changing workloads, cloud service providers can leverage vertical container scaling (adding/removing resources) so that Service Level Objective (SLO) violations are minimized and spare resources are maximized. In this paper, we investigate a solution to the self-adaptive problem of vertical elasticity for co-located containerized applications. First, the system learns performance models that relate SLOs to workload, resource limits and service level indicators. Second, it derives limits that meet SLOs and minimize resource consumption via a combination of optimization and restricted brute-force search. Third, it vertically scales containers based on the derived limits. We evaluated our technique on a Kubernetes private cloud of 8 nodes with three deployed applications. The results registered two SLO violations out of 16 validation tests; acceptably low derivation times facilitate realistic deployment. Violations are primarily attributed to application specifics, such as garbage collection, which require further research to be circumvented.

[Workshop] Building an Integration Agile Digital Enterprise with Open Source ...WSO2
Today, transforming a conventional business into a digital one is essential to increase revenue and productivity. Integrating heterogeneous systems and building an ecosystem with integrated components is a fundamental requirement for this.
Most modern systems support integration with other systems through APIs that are exposed to well-known protocols and standards. However, it is hard to expect all existing systems of an organization to be capable of integrating with other systems. Certain legacy systems will only be replaced a few years down the line.
Therefore, the challenge is to drive all these existing systems towards integration. In this half-day workshop, we will discuss how you can use the lean, enterprise-ready, and high-performing WSO2 Integration platform to solve integration and innovation challenges that organizations face when performing brownfield integration.
Discussion topics include:
- The benefits of using open source technologies
- Managing an API lifecycle with open source technologies
- Upleveling brownfield integration with open source technologies
- Customer identity and access management with open source technologies

stackconf 2023 | SCS: Buildig Open Source Cloud and Container Infrastructure ...NETWAYS
Linux is everywhere. Open Source has won! It has not. While Open Source components are all over the place, the big IT players use them to build platforms that are not fully open but designed to lock their users in. The question to ask these days is not: “Are you building on top of open source?”, because everyone is. The question should be: “Do you allow others to rebuild your whole platform?” and “Do you allow others to contribute to it and shape its future?” Sounds utopian? Sovereign Cloud Stack (SCS) tries to do exactly this: Build a network of operators to define common standards together, implement them in a complete, openly developed and fully open source manner and then even collaborate on operating it well — which can be harder than building it. The speaker will discuss the vision behind the the SCS project, how it has build the community and the technology stack, what it has achieved so far and where it will go next.

SFBay OpenStack Meetup // Neutron and SDN in Production – Dec 3 2013Randy Bias
Cloud architects deploying OpenStack have multiple options for virtualizing the network layer. At this meetup, folks who’ve built big clouds and designed the networking fabrics for them will talk about those choices, including those that are native to OpenStack as well as other open source options. They’ll also dig into what’s new in Havana and what’s on tap for Icehouse next spring from a networking standpoint.
Bring your questions about network virtualization and SDN in OpenStack, and we’ll talk about Neutron and more.
Moderator Randy Bias of Cloudscaling will be joined by Rudra Rugge of Juniper Networks, Aaron Rosen of VMware / Nicira, Edgar Magana of PLUMgrid, and Ryu Ishimoto of Midokura.
Replay of the live broadcast can be found (soon) at http://youtube.com/siliconangle
Networking is NOT Free: Lessons in Network DesignRandy Bias
An in-depth critique of the existing OpenStack networking approach, with a focus on how the Nova network controller is more of a hindrance than a help. Discusses the gap in Quantum's functionality required to close the gap, and alternative solutions. How can we make networking in OpenStack robust, high performance, and fault tolerant? What do typical large scale networks look like and what lessons can we learn from them? Is there an approach to networking we can take that is the same with a handful of servers as it is with hundreds of racks?
Existing approaches to delivering persistent block storage in OpenStack focus on integrating existing SAN/NAS hardware solutions, using Distributed File Systems (DFS), or using simple Direct Attached Storage (DAS) with Cinder. There is another alternative: scale-out block storage nodes with intelligent scheduling. This is the same approach that Amazon Web Services (AWS) uses for Elastic Block Storage (EBS) and it's worth taking a close look at the pros and cons. This presentation will explore the differences between SAN, NAS, DFS, DAS, and EBS. We will look at the implicit and explicit contracts that users and operators get from the different approaches and look at a variety of failure conditions. EBS may not be right for some clouds, but for many it's an important and viable alternative to the existing approaches.

- All three of the panelists agreed that there is such a thing as private cloud.
- Carpathia specializes in building high complexity custom private clouds.
- There are two types of clouds: legacy clouds for highly regulated, complex client/server type IT stacks and webscale clouds for less regulated, web/mobile, greenfield and simpler stacks that need to scale.
- Panel discussed how those two models (legacy cloud and webscale cloud) could be found inside (private) or outside (public).
- Key is to realize that applications should always be moved to the platform that is appropriate for the application, use case, regulatory requirement, elasticity requirement.
Carrier Cloud Opportunity - TM Forum Management World Dublin 2011Randy Bias
Cloudscaling Co-Founder and CTO Randy Bias shows the world's largest telcos that carriers must embrace web-scale cloud to be successful in the apps that will drive mobile, web and emerging markets. Legacy "clouds" are essentially virtualized and automated IT, and they do not offer the cost performance or business agility these hyper-growth segments demand.

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).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

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.

2. Background
• The OpenContrail community isn’t where we want it
• The decision was made in 2016 to fix this and some plans
were set in motion:
• Bring in an expert on open source and strategy (Randy Bias)
• Hire a community manager (TBD)
• Rethinking Juniper’s community engagement model began
• ON THE TABLE: SDLC model, packaging, community code contribution
process, JNPR “in the open” development, and transition from single-
entity project to multi-entity project
2
4. Common Vision
• OpenContrail Vision: OpenContrail seeks to become a ubiquitous global
network fabric that is agnostic extending across all cloud infrastructure. It
will provide a single point of control, visibility, and management globally for
all networks and network security. It will become the most broadly adopted
and highest quality SDN overlay technology available.
• Community Vision: The OpenContrail community will be open and
inclusive, while also providing strong technical and architectural oversight
where competitive ideas are welcome, but rough consensus and running
code always win.
4
6. Dedicated Steward
• Dedicated Community Manager:
• Wears a single hat; no responsibility for commercial product delivery
• Acts as “product manager” for open source community
• Advocates for community as a whole
• Educates all stakeholders on community engagement
• Juniper: engineering, product mgmt, product marketing, and management
• Greater OpenContrail stakeholders
• Independent of commercial Contrail BU
• reports directly to Randy Bias
• Coordinates “reboot” of OpenContrail community
6
7. Shared Governance
• The community governs itself
• Considered and step-wise transition from Juniper-centric to community
driven
• Governance ≠ Foundation
• Governance models exist for open source without foundations attached
to them; we need rules of engagement, not high levels of overhead
• All options are on the table:
• Traditional Foundation: CNCF, Linux Foundation, Apache Software
Foundation, etc.
• New Foundation: OpenContrail Foundation
• No Foundation
7
8. Why?
• Vibrant community-run project, not driven by a single entity
• Enrich community and encourage greater participation
• Leverage the community to increase quality, velocity, and
adoption
• Drive 100-1000x more OpenContrail deployments
• Deliver on a global ubiquitous network fabric
8
9. Stakeholder Alignment
• Juniper has significant investments in OpenContrail and
needs paths to recognizing revenue
• Other stakeholders want more commercial options
• All stakeholders need to see a strong technical leadership
and architectural oversight for foreseeable future
• All stakeholders want to see broader adoption
• All stakeholders want to see highest quality possible
• It’s the network after all
• Production-grade, secure, and most broadly adopted
