Enterprise Cloud Strategy: 7 Areas You Need to Re-ThinkRightScale
Companies from Fortune 1000 on down are going all-in on cloud, but your enterprise cloud strategy also needs to address the broad impact of cloud use in your company. Your strategy needs to cover implications for your technical processes, but also supporting areas including finance, governance, organization, and culture.
Do you use Cloud? Why? What about the 15 year legacy of your data center? How many Enterprise vendors tried to sell you their "Hybrid Cloud" solution? What actually is a Hybrid Cloud?
Cloud computing is not just a new way of running servers or Docker containers. The interesting part of any Cloud offering are managed services that provide solutions to difficult problems. Prime examples are messaging (SNS/SQS), distributed storage (S3), managed databases (RDS) and especially turn-key solutions like managed Hadoop (EMR).
Hybrid Cloud is usually understood as a way to unify or standardize server hosting across private data centers and Public Cloud vendors. Some Hybrid Cloud solutions even go as far as providing a unified API that abstracts away all the differences between different platforms. Unfortunately that approach focuses on the lowest common denominator and effectively prevents using the advanced services that each Cloud vendor also offers. However, these services are the true value of Public Cloud vendors.
Another approach to integrating Public Cloud and private data centers is using services from both worlds depending on the problems to solve. Don't hide the cloud technologies but make it simple to use them - both from within the data center and the cloud instances. Create a bridge between the old world of the data center and the new world of the Public Cloud. A good bridge will motivate your developers to move the company to the cloud.
Based upon recent developments at ImmobilienScout24, this talk tries to suggest a sustainable Cloud migration strategy from private data centers through a Hybrid Cloud into the AWS Cloud.
Bridging the security model of the data center with the security model of AWS.
Integrating the AWS identity management (IAM) with the existing servers in the data center.
Secure communication between services running in the data center and in AWS.
Deploying data center servers and Cloud resources together.
Service discovery for services running both in the data center and AWS.
Most of the tools used are Open Source and this talk will show how they come together to support this strategy:
AWS credential provider for employees and data center servers: http://immobilienscout24.github.io/afp/
Cloud Formation automation: https://github.com/ImmobilienScout24/cfn-sphere
Compliancy with European privacy laws: https://github.com/ImmobilienScout24/aws-monocyte
AWS storage solutions are designed to deliver secure, scalable, and durable storage for businesses looking to achieve efficiency and scalability within their backup & recovery environments, without the need for an on-premises infrastructure. In this session, you will learn how to deliver lower costs and greater scale with nearly seamless integration into your existing backup & recovery processes to achieve fast, simple wins that demonstrate the scale and flexibility of cloud services for storage. Presented by CommVault & Dow Jones.
Cloud offers organizations the opportunity to run their workloads on physical machines at a reduced cost, with better overall performance and enhanced security. Yet engaging in a partial or total migration to cloud requires a solid, holistic strategy that focuses on technical and management challenges that will likely arise, and an organizational mindset that will help ensure the migration’s success. This introductory, vendor agnostic talk will highlight the technical, management and cultural considerations that every cloud migration strategy should consider, how to address some common challenges, and best practices to help guide the process.

The Elephant in the Cloud: Bring True Cloud Economics to Hadoop/BigInsights
The massive computing and storage resources that are needed to support big data deployments in general and Hadoop in particular make cloud environments, public and private, an ideal fit.
Managing your big data app, however, is no walk in the park - especially if your considering the fact that these systems and application stacks often include other services beyond Hadoop such as: relational databases, other NoSQL databases and more, where each framework comes with its own management, installation, configuration, and scaling solutions. This is where Cloudify fits in. Cloudify provides consistent management that makes the provisioning, deployment, scaling of your Hadoop system simple and consistent with the rest of your stack and cloud portability between bare-metal and public cloud offering for Hadoop/BigInsights making it possible to run Hadoop on the right cloud for the Job: public/virtualized environment for on-demand workloads and bare-metal for I/O intensive operations.

Cloud Migration: Azure acceleration with CAST HighlightCAST
Learn how to accelerate your cloud migration: https://www.castsoftware.com/use-cases/cloud-readiness-and-migration
Cloud migration is table stakes for digital transformation initiatives. The driving factors to get to the cloud vary from organization to organization...for some, it's about cost savings and for others, it's about creating smarter apps that support continuous innovation.
IaaS – For organizations looking to reduce costs, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a great option. IaaS is sometimes described as "Lift and Shift" – when applications are moved from an existing infrastructure to a cloud infrastructure. This helps save money by reducing the hardware needed to run those applications and providing flexibility to adjust infrastructure requirements on-demand.
PaaS – For organizations looking for smarter deployments that facilitate digital transformation, streamline the delivery of new feature and support emerging technologies like IoT and Machine Learning, Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a more suitable option. While a considerable percentage of new application development is done with a cloud-first mentality, most legacy software is not optimized for a cloud environment.
So now the question becomes, how do I get my existing application portfolios ready for cloud migration so I can take full advantage of new technologies and processes
Software Intelligence-Based Cloud Readiness
So you’re ready for PaaS, but before you begin to assess the technical and structural requirements of the migration, you must also determine the business drivers for cloud and the desired outcomes. Setting a cloud migration roadmap that is based on comprehensive Software Intelligence that considers both business drivers and technical features of your applications is a critical first step.

Managing Container-as-a-Service and Docker Clusters in the Cloud with RightScaleRightScale
As companies look to orchestrate Docker in the cloud, they have several options for container orchestration. We delve into both container-as-a-service options from AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform as well as running your own Kubernetes cluster in the cloud.
Cloud Migration and Portability (with and without Containers)RightScale
Companies are moving more workloads to cloud and many need the flexibility to move some workloads between cloud providers on a one time or ongoing basis. The use of containers is further enabling companies to embrace portability. IT organizations need to understand the considerations, architectures, and tools that are needed to successfully migrate to and between clouds and create portable workloads.
Successful Cloud Orchestration with RightScale CMPRightScale
As cloud use explodes, it’s important to develop a strategy for orchestrating and automating across all your cloud and non-cloud infrastructure environments. However, the use of the term orchestration has become overloaded and can refer to many different types of tools. Learn about the different types of orchestration automation tools and the role a cloud management platform (CMP) can play as an “orchestrator of orchestrators.”
Cloud Migration: Moving Data and Infrastructure to the CloudSafe Software
The movement to the cloud is accelerating across industries. This is driven by the maturing of cloud technology, and by the sudden shift to a more distributed and remote workforce.
The cloud has many strengths from no longer having to purchase and manage infrastructure to its ability to grow seamlessly and to scale up and down to meet demands.
With all these benefits, many organizations are preparing cloud migration strategies (such as on-premise to the cloud) and are finding themselves overwhelmed by the process.
There are many things to consider when planning a cloud migration but the process does not have to be complicated or costly due to private services. Join this webinar to learn how you get started with your cloud migration today!

Application Modernisation through Event-Driven Microservices confluent
Microservices have emerged as a widely discussed and adopted way to build modern and scalable applications. They are easier to build, manage and maintain than monoliths due to smaller code bases; they isolate complexity, allowing for smaller, more agile teams to create services, and they are flexible—allowing the use of various platforms, programming languages, and tools since these choices affect only an individual service and a small team at a time.
This presentation looks at the practical issues for moving applications to the cloud.
It addresses the need to choose the applications carefully and how to decide which type of cloud platform is suitable for delivering cloud benefits.
Containers aren’t just for microservices – Containerizing Legacy WorkloadsOscar Renalias

The slot was rather short (20 minutes) and there wasn't a whole lot of time to dive into details, but I try to describe the main IT/business drivers that we've observed around container migration, our methodology for doing migrations in a structured manner, and then dive into some very practical topics based on existing migration exprience with Docker Datacenter Enteprise Edition.
Embracing Containers and Microservices for Future Proof Application Moderniza...Marlabs
The need for application modernization: Legacy applications are typically based on a monolithic design, which is organized in a three-tier architecture that covers a front, middle, and end layer. These monolithic designs reduce flexibility and agility due to the way it is compressed and leads to challenges in scaling as per business requirement. This challenge has resulted in modernizing these legacy applications using Containers and Microservices. Credit: Marlabs

Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.

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.
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.

What happened afterwards
• Incidents dropped off significantly
• Stability improved massively
• Launch a new brand within weeks, incredibly quickly on cloud
This brand is now 15% of our total registrations
New platform scales to the increasing load
There is always room for improvements
• DB deployment needs to be more automated and moved to managed service
• Keep improving deployment pipelines and adding services – it’s never just “done”
