This document discusses high availability and recoverability in IT systems. It defines availability levels from 99% to 99.999% and explains concepts like single points of failure, load balancing, and downtime. The document notes that while adding more redundancy can increase availability, it also increases complexity and may introduce new failure points. It emphasizes that the optimal solution depends on factors like an application's downtime costs and recovery time objectives. The key takeaway is that failure is inevitable, and the goal should be reducing recovery times rather than solely focusing on uptime percentages.
How to measure the business impact of web performanceSOASTA
If your site were one second slower, how many of your visitors would bounce?
If your site were one second faster, how many additional orders would you receive?
Bottom line: Do you know what one second of latency is worth to your business?
Traditional approaches to performance monitoring are fatally flawed. They measure performance only in a silo, telling you how long key actions took but not putting that information into a context you can use to improve the one metric that ultimately matters: revenue. Bridging this gap requires the collection of performance and business data together, and then analyzing this data using the proper analytic methods.
Using modern Real User Monitoring (RUM) techniques, Buddy Brewer will show you how to quantify the impact even one second of latency has on key business metrics like bounce and conversion rate.

Musings of an MSP - Why Some Things Never Change and Others Have To - DatacomAmazon Web Services
The rapid uptake of AWS has changed the landscape of IT management forever, forcing a collision or collaboration depending on your perspective between previously siloed functional areas such as operations and development. Even with all this change, many things remain just as relevant to IT operations as they did 10 or more years ago, albeit done slightly differently. Datacom is one of a handful of MSP competency partners in the region and the first to hold the competency. During this session, Datacom's national manager of hybrid cloud, Matthew Payton, will share some of those insights into what in Datacom's journey needed to change, what stayed the same and what had to go in terms of IT management practices. As well as sharing some of the most common challenges enterprise customers face in adopting cloud management.

2012 Annual State of the Union for Mobile Ecommerce Performance [Velocity EU]Strangeloop
On October 3 at Velocity EU, Strangeloop president Joshua Bixby unveiled the findings from the first study ever conducted of mobile performance over cellular networks.
In July and September 2012, Strangeloop conducted an industry first: a mobile performance survey of top ecommerce sites. The "2012 State of Mobile Ecommerce Performance" documents how Strangeloop tested top Alexa-ranked retail sites on a variety of mobile devices to find answers to questions like:
- How long does the median site take to load in mobile browsers?
- Which sites were fastest?
- Do some mobile OS/browsers/devices offer a consistently faster user experience than others?
- How much faster are pages served over LTE than over 3G?
- How do all of these findings compare to similar research conducted for desktop performance, published in Strangeloop’s annual Page Speed and Website Performance State of the Union reports?
The report is available for download at http://www.strangeloopnetworks.com/.
Walmart proves the obvious, devknob wonders why people don't understand why page speed matters. This has been true and known to be true since the beginning of the internet. Do you think people won't get distracted easily and bounce when they're surfing on 2g, 3g and even 4g connections? Page speed matters, devknob is probably the best page speed optimizer in the world so if you need conversion optimization, you may want to visit devknob online at devknob.com

Automation & Cloud Evolution - Long View VMware Forum Calgary January 21 2014James Charter
Automation & Cloud Evolution Presentation - Long View VMware Forum Calgary January 21 2014. Start getting ready for how VMware automation and cloud is changing. New product integration and new features will change the way we design and deliver infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) to out clients. How do you get started? Hear about the changes and recommendations you can apply for success.
Data needs are growing exponentially and some of those “on-the-surface” prices from the hyperscale providers such as AWS and Azure are really tempting. But when you add network fees, data retrieval fees, and the compounding cost of data storage for long term retention, your total spending may shock you.
Can you get away with that answer after crashing your production website with a change you just deployed? Usually you can’t, and instead you’re tasked with figuring out and fixing the problem. In this session, we will talk about typical architectural, coding and deployment problems you might recognize, show what data you need to quickly identify them, and how to catch them before impacting the business.
Dev talks Cluj 2018 : Java in the 21 Century: Are you thinking far enough ahead?Steve Poole
Discussions abound about the ‘future of Java’ though most of them are actually focused on the here and now. What are the consequences of Java 9 modularity, of moving JEE to Eclipse, of running your application in the cloud? All questions that are important now. but what are the important questions for tomorrow?
In this talk learn about a different view on the real future of Java. See how new hardware technologies, new software approaches and new ideas are powering Java towards a life far removed from that envisioned at its inception. It’s time to look up and see how you will need to change how you think: Whether it’s driven by AI or Quantum Computers the problems of tomorrow demand new approaches and new thinking. Are you ready?

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.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
