Achieving Infrastructure Portability with ChefMatt Ray
Deploying to the cloud has made it easy to run large numbers of servers, but users may become dissatisfied with their particular cloud platform for reasons such as price, support and performance. There are a number of vendor lock-ins to avoid, this talk discusses how to do so with the open source configuration management and infrastructure automation platform Chef. Chef makes it easy to deploy to nearly every public and private cloud platform as well as virtualized and physical servers. Chef may also be used to deploy cloud infrastructures such as OpenStack, Eucalyptus or CloudStack. By abstracting away the platform, infrastructure becomes portable and you are free to deploy wherever necessary.
Chef is an open source configuration management and service integration automation tool that has been integral to a number of large successful OpenStack deployments. This talk will provide a brief introduction to Chef and why it frequently the configuration tool of choice for large deployments and discuss the use of Chef within the OpenStack ecosystem (development, testing, deploying and managing the installation). Chef also provides the ability to manage the instances running on top of Nova through the knife-openstack plugin.

In the many years I am already living in Burma I have learned that Bagan is beautiful but much more than what meets the eye.
The Bagan story is the story of a kingdom growing from village level size to about 70 percent of the size of today's Burma/Myanmar.
It is the story of 55 Bagan kings, of myth and legends, of nats and nagas, of wars, of political intrigues, of lies, treason and murder, of Ari Buddhism and Theravada Buddhism and the fall from a small but bustling and wealthy royal capital to a quiet, dusty place in Burma's dry zone no one would speak of anymore if it were not for Theravada Buddhism and the magnificent temples and pagodas.
Today’s dry and dusty plains of Pagan are despite a significantly increasing number of tourists still enveloped in a tomb-like silence. They are an impressive tribute to Buddhism, especially Theravada Buddhism but otherwise there is nothing that indicates that this was a powerful political and economic centre.
The present Pagan/Bagan is much different from the splendid place that is in Marco Polo's records written from 1295 to 1298 described with the following words: ".....one of the finest sights in the world" and “The two pyramidal towers entirely build of marble, ten paces in height…. One of these pyramids was covered with plates of gold an inch in thickness, so that nothing besides the gold was visible; and the other with a plate of silver, of the same thickness. ……. The whole formed a splendid object.”
In many of her features present-day Bagan is more like the Pagan that Sir James Scott under his writer name ‘Shway Yoe’ in 1882 (The Burman: His Life and Notions) described with the words:
”Pagan is in many respects the most remarkable religious city in the world. Jerusalem, Rome, Kieff (Kiev), Benares none of these can boast the multitude of temples and the lavishness of design and ornaments that make marvellous the deserted capital on the Irrawaddy."
Lifting the curtain of myth and legend and concerning ourselves with the history of Pagan will show that this story is not only one of glory, splendour and beauty. It is also a story of crimes; and here we do not speak of petty crimes. We speak of very, very serious crimes that include patricide, fratricide and murder committed to get to the top and stay at the top. Crimes committed to gain unlimited power and keep it and to amass unimaginable wealth. This is the dark side of the story about power and the Royal families of the Pagan era and post-pagan era.
Nowadays the plain of Burma’s deserted capital on the Ayeyawaddy is still densely dotted with pagodas, temples and other religious buildings what is left of them, respectively. The very buildings that bear silent witness to the religious spirit that pervaded the Kingdom of Pagan from 1044 A.D. to 1277 A.D.
Some 2.217 ‘payas’ of formerly some 13.000 are still giving valid testimony to Pagan’s ‘Golden Era’ when the city became known as ‘The City of Four Million Pagodas'.

Introduction to Infrastructure as Code & Automation / Introduction to ChefNathen Harvey
Your customers expect you to continuously deliver delightful experiences. This means that you’ll need to continuously deliver application and infrastructure updates. Hand-crafted servers lovingly built and maintained by a system administrator are a thing of the past. Golden images are fine for initial provisioning but will quickly fail as your configuration requirements change over time.
It’s time for you to fully automate the provisioning and management of your infrastructure components. Welcome to the world of infrastructure as code! In this new world, you’ll be able to programmatically provision and configure the components of your infrastructure.
Disposable infrastructure whose provisioning, configuration, and on-going maintenance is fully automated allow you to change the way you build and deliver applications. Move your applications and infrastructure towards continuous delivery.
In this talk, we’ll explore the ideas behind “infrastructure as code” and, specifically, look at how Chef allows you to fully automate your infrastructure. If you’re brave enough, we’ll even let you get your hands on some Chef and experience the delight of using Chef to build and deploy some infrastructure components.
The open source configuration management and automation framework Chef is used to configure, deploy and manage many large public and private installations of OpenStack and supports a wide variety of integration opportunities. Chef for OpenStack is a project based on the healthy exchange of code, ideas and documentation for deploying and operating OpenStack with Chef.
There is a tremendous amount of Chef-related activity in the OpenStack ecosystem. With involvement from AT&T, IBM, Rackspace, SUSE and many others there is an active community of collaboration between users, developers and operators. In addition to operating OpenStack, Chef provides integrations for deploying applications on top of OpenStack (and other cloud) deployments, including specialized tooling for testing and continuous integration environments.
OpenStack is a large and complex ecosystem, this session will highlight the resources available for operators, as well as the evolution and layout of the project and the roadmap going forward.

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).

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.

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!

19. Chef Solves This Problem
• But you already
guessed that, didn’t
you?
19
20. Chef is Infrastructure as Code
• Programmatically
provision and
configure components

23
24. Configuration Code
• Chef ensures each Node complies with the policy
• Policy is determined by the configurations in each
Node’s run list
• Reduce management complexity through abstraction
• Store the configuration of your infrastructure in
version control
24
25. Declarative Interface to Resources
• You define the policy in your Chef configuration
• Your policy states what state each resource should
be in, but not how to get there
• Chef-client will pull the policy from the Chef Server
and enforce the policy on the Node
25
26. How does it work?
http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/046/123/magnets.jpg
30. Environments Define Policy
• Environments may include data attributes necessary
for configuring your infrastructure, e.g.
• The URL of your payment service’s API
• The location of your package repository
• The version of the Chef configuration files that
should be used
30
32. Roles Define Policy
• Roles may include an ordered list of Chef
configuration files that should be applied
• This list is called a Run List
• Order is always important in the Run List
• Roles may include data attributes necessary for
configuring your infrastructure, for example:
• The port that the application server listens on
• A list of applications that should be deployed
32
34. Node
• Each Node will
• Belong to one Organization
• Belong to one Environment
• Have zero or more Roles
34
35. Nodes Adhere to Policy
• The chef-client application runs on each node, which
• Gathers the current system configuration of the
node
• Downloads the desired system configuration
policies from the Chef server for that node
• Configures the node such that it adheres to those
policies
35
36. Resources
• A Resource represents a piece of the system and its
desired state
• A package that should be installed
• A service that should be running
• A file that should be generated
• A cron job that should be configured
• A user that should be managed
• and more
36
37. Resources in Recipes
• Resources are the fundamental building blocks of
Chef configuration
• Resources are gathered into Recipes
• Recipes ensure the system is in the desired state
37
38. Recipes
• Configuration files that describe resources and their
desired state
• Recipes can:
• Install and configure software components
• Manage files
• Deploy applications
• Execute other recipes
• and more

Example Recipe
40. Cookbooks
• Recipes are stored in
Cookbooks
• Cookbooks contain recipes,
templates, files, custom
resources, etc
• Code re-use and modularity

40
44. Run List Specifies Policy
• The Run List is an ordered collection of policies that
the Node should follow
• Chef-client obtains the Run List from the Chef
Server
• Chef-client ensures the Node complies with the
policy in the Run List
44
45. Search
• Search for nodes with Roles
• Find Topology Data
!
• IP addresses
• Hostnames
• FQDNs
