Synopsis
In this presentation, Shunde will show you how to simplify the migration process with a workload migration engine, making the move to OpenStack easy. This talk will address the various difficulties operators and administrators face when migrating workloads and resources between various cloud platforms, including removing time consuming, repetitive and complicated steps.
This tool can be applied to many cloud migrations, including between Virtual Machines and OpenStack, between Public and Private clouds, as well as between OpenStack and OpenStack. This tool integrates completely with other OpenStack projects minimising deployment and maintenance efforts. So whether you’re looking to upgrade from your existing traditional virtualisation platform, setup a new OpenStack instance, or upgrade to a newer version of OpenStack, we will show you how to simplify this process using GUTS.

Synopsis
The traditional user experience for High Performance Computing (HPC) centers around the command line, and the intricacies of the underlying hardware. At the same time, scientific software is moving towards the cloud, leveraging modern web-based frameworks, allowing rapid iteration, and a renewed focus on portability and reproducibility. This software still has need for the huge scale and specialist capabilities of HPC, but leveraging these resources is hampered by variation in implementation between facilities. Differences in software stack, scheduling systems and authentication all get in the way of developers who would rather focus on the research problem at hand. This presentation reviews efforts to overcome these barriers. We will cover container technologies, frameworks for programmatic HPC access, and RESTful APIs that can deliver this as a hosted solution.

This talk will give an introduction on how to use Terraform to deploy CloudStack infrastructure (VMs, Networks, Storage, etc.) using the Terraform cloudstack modules.
Introduction to Container Storage Interface (CSI)Idan Atias
Among the cool stuff we do at Silk, my colleagues and I develop the Silk CSI Plugin for customers who use our system as the storage layer for their Kubernetes workloads.
Before deep diving into the code and as part of my ramp-up on this subject I prepared some slides that cover some basic and important information on this topic.
These slides start by recapping some basic storage principals in containers and Kubernetes, continues with some more advanced use cases (including an "offline demo" of persisting Redis data on EBS volumes), and ends with a detailed information on the CSI solution itself.
IMHO, reviewing these slides can improve your understanding on this matter and can get you started implementing your own CSI plugin.
The main sources of information I used for preparing these slides are:
* Official CSI docs
* Kubernetes Storage Lingo 101 - Saad Ali, Google
* Container Storage Interface: Present and Future - Jie Yu, Mesosphere, Inc.
Adam Dagnall: Advanced S3 compatible storage integration in CloudStackShapeBlue
Adam's slides from his talk at the CloudStack European User group meetup, March 13, London. To provide tighter integration between the S3 compatible object store and CloudStack, Cloudian has developed a connector to allow users and their applications to utilize the object store directly from within the CloudStack platform in a single sign-on manner with self-service provisioning. Additionally, CloudStack templates and snapshots are centrally stored within the object store and managed through the CloudStack service. The object store offers protection of these templates and snapshots across data centres using replication or erasure coding.
Andre Paul: Importing VMware infrastructures into CloudStackShapeBlue
The talk will show how the VMware ingestion feature uses existing VMware Zones, and ‘imports’ them into CloudStack. We will describe the process by which database entries of already existing components of an existing virtual machine are created and how it enables CloudStack to safely manage such instances even though they were not initially set up by CloudStack.

[Capitole du Libre] #serverless - mettez-le en oeuvre dans votre entreprise...Ludovic Piot
Tout comme le Cloud IaaS avant lui, le serverless promet de faciliter le succès de vos projets en accélérant le Time to Market et en fluidifiant les relations entre Devs et Ops.
Mais sa mise en œuvre au sein d’une entreprise reste complexe et coûteuse.
Après 2 ans à mettre en place des plateformes managées de ce type, nous partagons nos expériences de ce qu’il faut faire pour mettre en œuvre du serverless en entreprise, en évitant les douleurs et en limitant les contraintes au maximum.
Tout d’abord l’architecture technique, avec 2 implémentations très différentes : Kubernetes et Helm d’un côté, Clever Cloud on-premise de l’autre.
Ensuite, la mise en place et l’utilisation d’OpenFaaS. Comment tester et versionner du Function as a Service. Mais aussi les problématiques de blue/green deployment, de rolling update, d’A/B testing. Comment diagnostiquer rapidement les dépendances et les communications entre services.
Enfin, en abordant les sujets chers à la production : * vulnerability management et patch management, * hétérogénéïté du parc, * monitoring et alerting, * gestion des stacks obsolètes, etc.
Swinburne University of Technology - Shunde Zhang & Kieran Spear, AptiraOpenStack
We recently teamed up with our good friends at SUSE to build a very high-performing and scalable storage landscape at a fraction of the cost than with traditional storage systems for the Swinburne University of Technology.
The challenge that the IT team at Swinburne were facing is how to accommodate the ever-growing need for performance and capacity while sticking to a tight budget. With SUSE Enterprise Storage we have been able to deploy a compelling and affordable solution to support Swinburne’s storage needs. Their new storage platform is fast and flexible, meaning the IT team at Swinburne can support the needs of researchers more effectively.

Related OSS Projects - Peter Rowe, Flexera SoftwareOpenStack
Audience Level
Intermediate
Synopsis
Today’s fast-paced development environment has changed the compliance landscape. Many software projects consist of more than 50% Open Source Software (OSS) components, but as much as 99% are undocumented, increasing the complexities of managing your company’s software compliance process.
Of particular concern is “Zombie software”, or software that is outdated and contains vulnerable versions of certain components. Zombies can live in your code forever if you’re not aware of them. The acceleration of modern development lifecycles and the breakdown of an undocumented software supply chain have opened up new pathways for zombies to enter your software – leaving you exposed to security threats.
This presentation discusses best practices for implementing an Open Source Software management strategy that covers common pitfalls and commercial licence issues as well as the optimal way to track and eliminate the risks associated with Zombies!

Synopsis
The Nectar Research Cloud provides an OpenStack cloud for Australia’s academic researchers. Since its inception in 2012 it has grown steadily to over 30,000 CPUs, with over 10,000 registered users from more than 50 research institutions. It is different to many clouds in being a federation across eight organisations, each of which runs cloud infrastructure in one or more data centres and contributes to a distributed help desk and user support. A Nectar core services team runs centralised cloud services. This presentation will give an overview of the experiences, challenges and benefits of running a federated OpenStack cloud and a short demonstration on using the Nectar cloud. We will also describe some current approaches that are looking to extend this federation to encompass other institutions including some in New Zealand, to extend the infrastructure using commercial cloud providers, and to move towards interoperability with the growing number of international science and research clouds through the new Open Research Cloud initiative.

Understanding blue store, Ceph's new storage backend - Tim Serong, SUSEOpenStack
Audience Level
Intermediate
Synopsis
Ceph – the most popular storage solution for OpenStack – stores all data as a collection of objects. This object store was originally implemented on top of a POSIX filesystem, an approach that turned out to have a number of problems, notably with performance and complexity.
BlueStore, a new storage backend for Ceph, was created to solve these issues; the Ceph Jewel release included an early prototype. The code and on-disk format were declared stable (but experimental) for Ceph Kraken, and now in the upcoming Ceph Luminous release, BlueStore will be the recommended default storage backend.
With a 2-3x performance boost, you’ll want to look at migrating your Ceph clusters to BlueStore. This talk goes into detail about what BlueStore does, the problems it solves, and what you need to do to use it.
Speaker Bio:

Synopsis
Data Analytics is a hot topic today for most organisations as they race to convert vast amounts of data into useful information that can be leveraged to make critical decisions or recommendations in a very limited time window.
Today, there is a widely accepted talent gap when it comes to creating and managing Hadoop Clusters. Even for the experts can take hours (or days) to get a fully functional Hadoop farm up and running.
On top of that it can be difficult to find java programmers that have enough experience to be productive with Map Reduce.
OpenStack Sahara is looking to address most of this challenges by facilitating the deployment of Hadoop clusters and provide a set of API to provide data processing tasks.
This session will provide an insight into OpenStack Sahara capabilities and how the end users can leverage on it.

The Why and How of HPC-Cloud Hybrids with OpenStack - Lev Lafayette, Universi...OpenStack
Audience Level
Intermediate
Synopsis
High performance computing and cloud computing have traditionally been seen as separate solutions to separate problems, dealing with issues of performance and flexibility respectively. In a diverse research environment however, both sets of compute requirements can occur. In addition to the administrative benefits in combining both requirements into a single unified system, opportunities are provided for incremental expansion.
The deployment of the Spartan cloud-HPC hybrid system at the University of Melbourne last year is an example of such a design. Despite its small size, it has attracted international attention due to its design features. This presentation, in addition to providing a grounding on why one would wish to build an HPC-cloud hybrid system and the results of the deployment, provides a complete technical overview of the design from the ground up, as well as problems encountered and planned future developments.

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.
