Practical information on how to Optimize Virtual Machines for High Performance by Boyan Krosnov, Chief Product Officer at StorPool Storage
Presentation delivered at OpenNebula TechDay Sofia on 25-th of February 2016
This talk was given at the Boston OPenStack meetup to introduce Postgres Plus Cloud Database. This is a product that has built a convenient cloud infrastructure around PostgreSQL. If offers quick provision, autoscaling thresholds and both vertical and horizontal scaling abilities. This product was initially introduced on AWS but has recently been ported to OpenStack. We will talk about the issue faced in going between these two platforms and how one can maintain a truly cloud centric product that runs on multiple IaaS platforms.
Caching is a very know word for any programmer or IT person, but very few of us have the concrete knowledge of Caching. We often use cache in our system or application in conscious or sub-conscious mind.
I got a change to deep dive into HTTP and REST during my internship period in Cefalo. This slide was prepared for my presentation on HTTP caching. By making this presentation I gained the actual concept of caching, when, where and why we can use this mechanism.
Webinar: Overcoming the Storage Challenges Cassandra and Couchbase CreateStorage Switzerland
NoSQL databases like Cassandra and Couchbase are quickly becoming key components of the modern IT infrastructure. But this modernization creates new challenges – especially for storage. Storage in the broad sense. In-memory databases perform well when there is enough memory available. However, when data sets get too large and they need to access storage, application performance degrades dramatically. Moreover, even if enough memory is available, persistent client requests can bring the servers to their knees.
Join Storage Switzerland and Plexistor where you will learn:
1. What is Cassandra and Couchbase?
2. Why organizations are adopting them?
3. What are the storage challenges they create?
4. How organizations attempt to workaround these challenges.
5. How to design a solution to these challenges instead of a workaround.
Where OpenNebula is typically used by system administrators to manage data centers, SURFsara’s HPC Cloud exposes OpenNebula’s web interface crudely to end users. SURFsara’s end users are researchers. They all have diverse needs and most of them are no system experts. It turns out that OpenNebula’s interface is easy enough to use, enabling researchers to build complex compute infrastructures for their analysis workflows. This presentation discusses the features our researchers and we appreciate in OpenNebula, it pictures a selection of succesful projects and it also explains caveats we have come across while keeping the service in the air.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

4. Power Limit Control - up to 25W SAS devices
§ Allows system to decide how much power
a device is allowed to consume. Both
less or more than nominal.
§ For SSDs, power = performance
§ SAS SSDs will be able to take advantage
of extra power provisioning above the
nominal 9W limit in typical 2.5” slots.
§ Example: SAS drive in a SCSI Express bay
(SFF-8639) could be allowed to consume up
to 25W
www.scsita.org
5. Atomic Writes
§ All or nothing written capability across
multiple commands
§ Benefits:
§ Simplifies resilient system designs
§ Database, file system, etc.
§ Improves system performance in these
applications
www.scsita.org
6. Hinting & Extended Opens
§ Pass “hints” to devices to make operations
more efficient and increase performance
§ Targeted at SSDs and hybrid drives, but also
useful for HDDs
§ Direct attached devices don’t need to
continually OPEN and CLOSE connections
§ Can be implemented within the existing standard
§ Reduces latency on both SSDs and HDDs
