We will talk about the scale, performance, and cost advantages of using a modern controller-free virtualized network solution built on 100 Gigabit Ethernet switches with hardware based VXLAN Routing. We will explore the ease of automating such a network in an OpenStack environment and take you through a real world use case of using OpenStack Network Node bridging between a bare metal cloud (EVPN) and a fully virtualized cloud environments (orchestrated by Neutron).
Speaker Bio:
David has held leadership roles at 3COM, Cisco Systems, Nortel Networks, and IBM where he promoted advanced network technologies including High Speed Ethernet, Layer 4-7 switching, Virtual Machine-aware networking, and Software Defined Networking.
David’s current focus is on the evolving landscape of data center networking, scale out storage, Open Networking, and cloud computing.
OpenStack is an open source cloud project and community with broad commercial and developer support. OpenStack is currently developing two interrelated technologies: OpenStack Compute and OpenStack Object Storage. OpenStack Compute is the internal fabric of the cloud creating and managing large groups of virtual private servers and OpenStack Object Storage is software for creating redundant, scalable object storage using clusters of commodity servers to store terabytes or even petabytes of data. In this tutorial, Bret Piatt will explain how to deploy OpenStack Compute and Object Storage, including an overview of the architecture and technology requirements.
Dell openstack cloud with inktank ceph – large scale customer deploymentKamesh Pemmaraju
This was my presentation at the OpenStack Summit in Hong Kong, November 2013. Learn detail around a unique deployment of the Dell OpenStack-Powered Cloud Solution with Inktank Ceph installed at a large nationally recognized American University that specializes in cancer and genomic research. The University had a need to provide a scalable, secure, centralized data repository to support approximately 900 researchers and an ever-expanding number of research projects and rapidly expanding universe of data. The Dell and Inktank cloud storage solution addresses these storage challenges with an open source solution that leverages the Dell Crowbar Framework and Reference Architecture. After assessing a number of traditional storage scenarios, the University partnered with Dell and Inktank to architect a centralized cloud storage platform that is capable of scaling seamlessly and rapidly, is cost-effective, and that can leverage a single hardware infrastructure, with Dell Power Edge R-720XD servers and the Dell Reference Architecture for their OpenStack compute and storage environment.
In Pravega's first community meeting as a CNCF project, we overviewed experimental features of Pravega:
* Schema Registry - preserving the structure of data in an unstructured storage system and controlling for safe schema evolution
* Consumption-Based Retention - stream truncation based on subscriber positions
* Simplified Long-Term Storage (SLTS) - abstracting the distributed management of segments while removing complicated problems such as fencing
* SLTS Plugin for BookKeeper - an implementation of the SLTS interfaces for BlobIt! object stores on BookKeeper: https://github.com/diegosalvi/pravega-blobit-chunkmanager

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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

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!

10. OPENSTACK EXTENSIONS FOR SCALEIO
• Why create the extensions?
– Orchestrates ScaleIO deployments along with all other OpenStack components
– Makes storage much simpler to deploy
– Provides the user with a unified experience
– Enables OpenStack customers to get to production with ScaleIO faster
• What do they do?
– Deploys all components of ScaleIO with few inputs
– Deployment is done using the native framework of that distribution
– Deploys ScaleIO in a consistent way that should provide stability to the entire
deployment
12. Key ScaleIO Software Defined Storage takeaways:
• Reliable
– Rock solid Software Defined Storage which easily support 5x9’s or higher levels of availability. Easy to
manage and upgrade.
• Flexible
– Scale-up & down, support multiple environments: VMware, Hyper-V, OpenStack & bare metal with one
solution.
– Easy to scale, supporting cloud infrastructure requirements
• High Performance with tiny footprint: http://www.storagereview.com/node/5992
– Fastest most scalable storage solution, virtually no limits, sub ms RT with SSD/Flash
– Predictable performance no matter the application type (scale-out & scale-up!)
– 10-20% cpu & memory 10’s of MB’s to a few GB drives record breaking performance
• Highly scalable
– Start small grow big without worry
– Scale compute & storage independently
• Tremendous value

14. Magic Quadrant for Distributed File Systems and Object
Storage
– October 2016
Dell EMC has two products that are included in this research:
Dell EMC Isilon and Dell EMC Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS). With
Isilon, a mature scale-out NAS product with deployment across
many enterprises and service provider verticals and
geographies, end users consolidate large datasets onto one
distributed file system for high scalability and throughput. ECS is
a platform that supports object, NFS and Hadoop Distributed File
System (HDFS), with the ability to store billions of objects for
cloud-native applications.

20. What about PaaS & Linux containers
NoSQL is often the first option used to store unstructured content
Linux
containers
21. But is NOSQL the right solution ?
Not really
• NOSQL DB are designed to store XML documents,
metadata, …
• But, they are not efficient to store unstructured content (ex:
they protect data by creating several replicas)
• And they are in the data path
• Object storage is the de facto solution
24. Cloud Optimization for Service Providers
CHALLENGES
• Rising access time
• High document processing time
• A large number of documents
• Growing size of documents
“The most impressive thing with
ECS was the fact that real-life
performance appeared twice as
high and more effective.
