stackconf 2021 | Building the first European open source Edge Computing platf...NETWAYS
Edge Computing is becoming increasingly popular nowadays thanks to the growing availability of cloud, bare-metal and 5G providers offering flexible and affordable access to edge resources around the globe. The idea is based on moving core computational processes and storage to distant locations that are closer to the entities they interact with, like end-users and IoT devices. The benefits come from improving network latency and user experience, reducing security risks, and minimizing data transfers to central cloud locations. Thanks to the €2.1M awarded in 2019 by the European Commission as part of the Horizon 2020 SME Instrument Program, OpenNebula has developed the first open source Edge Computing platform in Europe. This talk analyses the benefits and challenges associated with Edge Computing, introduces the “True Hybrid Cloud” concept, and explores how this new EU-funded Edge Computing platform contributes to consolidate Europe’s digital sovereignty by integrating other relevant European open source technologies and by providing future access to the GAIA-X federated infrastructure.

Commerce as a Service with Cloud Foundry (Cloud Foundry Summit 2014)VMware Tanzu
Keynote delivered by Rene Welches, Product Owner – PaaS Cloud Foundry at hybris.
[y]aaS is a multi tenant cloud platform which allows everyone to easily develop, extend and sell commerce services and apps. [y]aaS is based on a steadily growing micro service architecture running on Cloud Foundry as foundation. All services within [y]aaS are exposed through a consistent RESTful API. Besides the API, [y]aas also includes a Marketplace for hybris services as well as 3rd party services, an On Demand Store Front and a Back office application, all running on Cloud Foundry.
In this talk we will share our experience developing such an architecture and how Cloud Foundry helped us to streamline and speed up our development.
The ability to deliver software is no longer a differentiator. In fact, it is a basic requirement for survival. Companies that embrace cloud native patterns of software delivery will survive; companies that don’t - will not.
In this webinar, we will:
- Look at the common patterns that distinguish cloud native companies and the architectures that they employ.
- Discover that an opinionated platform, one that stretches from the infrastructure all the way to the application framework, rather than ad-hoc automation, is an essential component to an enterprise's cloud native journey.
- Show that the combination of Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Spring is the complete cloud native platform.

My introduction slides from Build a Cloud Day Paris, the full recap of the event is available at http://buildacloud.org/blog/269-a-recap-from-bacd-paris.html. We had over 70 people attend this event where users of cloudstack, integrators and ecosystem partners presented how they work with cloudstack. iKoula a service provider in Paris showed how they created a cloud offering, Usharesoft showed how the can enhance image management and publish templates in cloudstack, Apalia showed how they have deployed cloudstack in multiple enterprises. Amysta showed how their products gives you very detailed billing information for your cloud. INRIA presented their private cloud for a continuous integration platform for France research community and btrcloud showed how they developed a plugin to provide adanced VM scheduling in your datacenter.
All presentations showed the various components of a cloud infrastructure. In these slides I also show how the Apache Software Foundation can be the base of your cloud and big data infrastructure since all components are under the ASF: CloudStack, hadoop, libcloud, jclouds, whirr, Stratos, Storm etc...
An introduction to version control using git, github and the Apache CloudStack git repository.
Git is a distributed version control where developers can mantain a working local copy, make local changes and push to a central repository to share their code with other developers. Git has replaced SVN and CVS has the version control system of choice, especially with the adoption of github by the OSS community.
In this talk we show the basics of version control, we use gist from github to put simple scripts under version control and submit patches to it. We then show how to clone the cloudstack repository, explore the various feature and release branches. We then show how to create a patch and submit it to the Apache Software Foundation review board so that a committer of the CloudStack community can pick it up and apply it to the source tree.
This is the perfect talk to discover git and submit your first patch to CloudStack.
A description of a few CloudStack projects proposed for the 2013 Google Summer of Code.
The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is a mentoring organization for the google summer of code 2013. Apache CloudStack being a top level project at the ASF has proposed several projects for GSOC. Interested students should review those projects, engage on the CloudStack mailing list and submit a proposal.
The best proposals could get awarded and the students would join the GSOC program from ~June till the end of september.
This is a presentation of CloudMonkey the Apache CloudStack CLI and interfactive shell. Entirely written in Python it features auto-completion, history, help, colored output, optional prompt, raw api calls, api discovery, tabularize output. See the screencast at http://youtu.be/y6wX4UhJ_Vg
Perfect tool for sys admins to manage their cloud from the comfort of the command line. Perfect tool for developers to test new API and services on top of the CloudStack API.
A walk through of the CloudStack API. full screencast available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPfm2EksIbc
An API to your cloud orchestrator is key to automation of your data center.
We go through the basics of Query API calls, unauthenticated on the integration port and authenticated calls using the access and secret keys of a users and computing a signature. We show how to compute a signature in Python.
We also highlight various CloudStack clients in many different languageas (java, php, ruby, clojure etc..) and show how to explore the API using firebug console in firefox or via the CloudStack interfactive shell cloudmonkey. This is a good complement to my talk on CloudMonkey.
Thoughts about how to use CloudStack to develop a Big Data Solution in your data center.
Cloud as a virtual machine infrastructure and Big Data are converging as two key technical evolution in the data center. Virtualization enables multi-tenancy, heterogenous Operating systems and added security via isolation. Clouds like AWS EC2, Rackspace, or google GCE are good examples. Big Data tackles the challenge of the increase scale (amount) and complexity (type) of data faced in the enterprise. While Compute cloud show a departure from traditional hardware provisioning and configuration management via virtualization, big data is a departure from traditional relational databases and file systems. These two technical evolutions have been triggered by the new workloads of the internet (search, streaming) and the scale needed to server millions of users and millions/billions of objects to store or serve.
In this talk we show how CloudStack and its support for bare-metal provisioning is compatible with a public cloud. CloudStack being a data center orchestrator that can tackle both traditional enterprise workloads and internet scale/type workloads. Multiple zones can be created for compute cloud or big data. Big data can used as backend store to the compute cloud or as zone type to enabled big data workload on the bare metal hardware.
This hybrid mode of operation is seen as the next evolution of clouds and positions a data center orchestrator has more than a VM management system and a solution to big data management as well.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
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.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
