Kirin User Story: Migrating Mission Critical Applications to OpenStack Privat...Motoki Kakinuma
NTT Data is an IT service company.
Kirin is one of the largest beverages companies in Japan.
In this presentation, we will present the user story of migrating all applications from creaky infrastructure to OpenStack private cloud including actual challenges, know-hows and future prospects.
The key concept of this project is:
* Mission Critical: Migrate all Kirin enterprise applications to OpenStack private cloud.
* Think Big, Start Small: Start from small number of apps, and expand rapidly.
* Agility and elasticity: Adopt a PaaS-like automation approach, targeting 50% less development cost and 40% less operational cost.
In order to achieve all items above, we have decided to use OpenStack IaaS, ICO, which is an automation product by IBM, serverspec for testing, and Hinemos for monitoring management.
Starting from Aug 2014, the project expects 100 VM / 100 TB storage as the first-stage migration by end of 2015. We're planning to migrate 500 VM / 300 TB by end of 2016 and 2000 VM / 1 PB finally.

Hybrid Cloud: OpenStack and Other ApproachesMirantis
On April 4, 2014, OpenStack:Now editor Nick Chase presented this talk at Great Wide Open in Atlanta, GA. It discusses the ideas behind Hybrid Cloud and some possible ways to implement it.
The massive computing and storage resources that are needed to support big data applications make cloud environments an ideal fit. In this session, you'll learn how to build your big data "database on-demand" using MongoDB, Cassandra, Solr, MySQL, or any other big data solution, as well as manage your big data application using a new open source framework called “Cloudify.” All this, on top of the OpenStack cloud.
• What are the key design characteristics for IaaS clouds?
• What are some of the key IaaS cloud patterns that emerge from these choices?
• What fundamental capabilities are impacted by these decisions?
• How do you use this knowledge to better construct a portfolio of IaaS cloud services best suited to your portfolio of applications?
Hybrid clouds provide a good balance between the privacy offered by private clouds and the elasticity and reliability of public clouds. The presentation offers an introduction to the decision criteria when switching from a private to a hybrid cloud architecture and where to start from.
soCloud: distributed multi-cloud platform for deploying, executing and managi...Fawaz Fernand PARAISO
Multi-cloud computing has established itself as a paradigm of choice for creating very large scale world wide distributed applications. Multi-cloud computing is the usage of multiple, independent cloud environments, which assumed no priori agreement between cloud providers or third party. However, these applications, designed for multi-cloud environments, have to face real challenges in term of design, architecture, and technology. The possibility of using multi-cloud faces the heterogeneity and complexity of cloud solutions. Thus, multi-cloud computing has to face several challenges such as portability, provisioning, elasticity, and high availability we have identified in this thesis.
In this thesis, we propose soCloud both a model and a platform that tackle these four challenges. This model is based on the OASIS Service Component Architecture (SCA) standard to design distributed large scale applications for multi-cloud environments. A new language is proposed to effectively express the elasticity of multi-cloud applications through abstraction. The multi-cloud platform is designed to deploy and manage distributed applications across multi-clouds.
The soCloud model is illustrated on three distributed applications deployed in multi- cloud environments. The soCloud platform has been implemented, deployed and experimented on top of ten existing cloud providers : Windows Azure, DELL KACE, Amazon EC2, CloudBees, OpenShift, dotCloud, Jelastic, Heroku, Appfog, and an Eucalyptus private cloud. These experiments are used to validate the novelty of the contributed solutions.
With our contributions, we aim to provide a simple and effective way to design, deploy, run, and manage distributed applications for a multi-cloud environment by proposing a model and platform.
Do you want a way to deploy CloudStack management services, including databases and supporting services, into a new environment with ease? Do you need resilience for your environment's management plane?
We've created a appliance that can host all of the components required to manage a CloudStack-based cloud infrastructure, and can be deployed on various types of hardware, with minimal requirements. The project led to the use of a few interesting technologies and methods, including a tested and customized implementation of MariaDB/Galera to backend CloudStack. During this session, we will go over this appliance design, and hopefully have a dialogue about similar deployment designs that others have used.

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).

The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
