OpenShift, Docker, Kubernetes: The next generation of PaaSGraham Dumpleton
Containers are upending the way that developers and operations groups are thinking about how to deploy software. To cater for these new ways of thinking, traditional Platform as a Service (PaaS) providers are also needing to adapt. Although PaaS providers have been using containers for some time, the new focus is around Docker and the image portability it provides. It isn't all about containers though, you still need orchestration to manage where containers are deployed, as well as workflows for getting you from source code to deployed application.
In this talk you will learn about how OpenShift, Red Hat's Open Source PaaS is being reimplemented around Docker and Kubernetes, adding in its own secret sauce to deliver a next generation PaaS.
Peanut Butter and jelly: Mapping the deep Integration between Ceph and OpenStackSean Cohen
Ceph is the most widely deployed storage technology used with OpenStack, most often because it's an open source, massively scalable, unified software-defined storage solution. Its popularity is also due to its unique and optimized technical integration with the OpenStack services and its pure-software approach to scaling. In this session, we'll review how Ceph is integrated into Nova, Glance, Keystone, Cinder, and Manila and demonstrate why using traditional storage products won’t give you the full benefits of an elastic cloud infrastructure. We’ll also cover the flexible deployment options, available through Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform and Red Hat Ceph Storage, for seamless operations and key scenarios like disaster recovery. We'll discuss architectural options for deploying a multisite OpenStack cluster and cover the varying levels of maturity in the OpenStack services for configuring multisite. This session will also show how other technologies are using OpenStack Ceph to increase performance and reduce power consumption, such as Intel SSDs. This will include reference architectures and best practices for Ceph and SSDs.
OpenStack and Ceph: the Winning Pair
By: Sebastien Han
Ceph has become increasingly popular and saw several deployments inside and outside OpenStack. The community and Ceph itself has greatly matured. Ceph is a fully open source distributed object store, network block device, and file system designed for reliability, performance,and scalability from terabytes to exabytes. Ceph utilizes a novel placement algorithm (CRUSH), active storage nodes, and peer-to-peer gossip protocols to avoid the scalability and reliability problems associated with centralized controllers and lookup tables. The main goal of the talk is to convince those of you who aren't already using Ceph as a storage backend for OpenStack to do so. I consider the Ceph technology to be the de facto storage backend for OpenStack for a lot of good reasons that I'll expose during the talk. Since the Icehouse OpenStack summit, we have been working really hard to improve the Ceph integration. Icehouse is definitely THE big release for OpenStack and Ceph. In this session, Sebastien Han from eNovance will go through several subjects such as: Ceph overview Building a Ceph cluster - general considerations Why is Ceph so good with OpenStack? OpenStack and Ceph: 5 minutes quick start for developers Typical architecture designs State of the integration with OpenStack (icehouse best additions) Juno roadmap and beyond.

OpenNebula Conf 2014 | Bootstrapping a virtual infrastructure using OpenNebul...NETWAYS
This talk shows how to setup a virtual infrastructure using OpenNebula as cloud management platform, SaltStack for configuration management and Foreman for bare-metal/ virtual host provisioning. You will see how to combine OpenNebula with bare-metal deployment on standard server hardware using non-shared storage in an environment without physical access to the hardware and no existing base infrastructure like DNS, NTP, DHCP, VPN or other. The infrastructure installation has been done automatically using public code and free Open Source software.
E4 using Docker to simplify HPC app deployment. Problem solved: deploy several version of one app on the same node (e.g. Ansys 15 and Ansys 14), Deploy an old version of an HPC app based on legacy environment, keep cluster nodes aligned with the same version of libriaries and binaries.
RBD, the RADOS Block Device in Ceph, gives you virtually unlimited scalability (without downtime), high performance, intelligent balancing and self-healing capabilities that traditional SANs can't provide. Ceph achieves this higher throughput through a unique system of placing objects across multiple nodes, and adaptive load balancing that replicates frequently accessed objects over more nodes. This talk will give a brief overview of the Ceph architecture, current integration with Apache CloudStack, and recent advancements with Xen and blktap2.

Storage 101: Rook and Ceph - Open Infrastructure Denver 2019Sean Cohen
Starting from the basics, we explore the advantages of using Rook as a Storage operator to serve Ceph storage, the leading Software-Defined Storage platform in the Open Source world. Ceph automates the internal storage management, while Rook automates the user-facing operations and effectively turns a storage technology into a service transparent to the user. The combination delivers an impressive improvement in UX and provides the ideal storage platform for Kubernetes.
A comprehensive examination of use cases and open problems will complement our review of the Rook architecture. We will deep-dive into what Rook does well, what it does not do (yet), and what trade-offs using a storage operator involves operationally. With live access to a running cluster, we will showcase Rook in action as we discuss its capabilities.
https://www.openstack.org/summit/denver-2019/summit-schedule/events/23515/storage-101-rook-and-ceph
There have been heaping piles of buzz surrounding Ceph and OpenStack lately. Similar amounts of work have been going in to the integration between Ceph and OpenStack in recent versions. We'll take a look at how this work is making all the awesomeness of Ceph available to users in a simple, intuitive, and powerful way. The world of Havana and beyond is certainly no different, and promises to continue the trend of both functionality and buzz-worthiness.
This talk given at the OpenStack meetup in Boston (Aug 14, 2013) gives a brief introduction to Ceph for the uninitiated and take a look at what's coming down the road. The short term of Havana has plenty to keep fans of both platforms happy and busy, but there are plenty more interesting problems that we can tackle. In addition to the concrete of the short term we'll take a look at how less-oft-used pieces of the Ceph platform can help augment your OpenStack setup, some general blue sky thinking, and what the community can do to get involved.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
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.

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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
