Architecting Multi-Cloud Applications - Myth or Reality?aravindajju
We reached a phase in cloud computing, where it is evident that multi-cloud is a reality. Depending on a single cloud is risky and probably doesn't work for most workloads. That said, there are myriad of challenges in architecting applications to run across clouds. So is architecting applications for multi-cloud a myth still? or is it a reality? This talk explores the challenges in multi-cloud application architectures and possible approaches & technology choices.

Interop ITX: Moving applications: From Legacy to Cloud-to-CloudSusan Wu
Cloud computing provides an array of hosting and service options to fit your overall company strategy. Sometimes a public cloud is your best option and other times your data requirements demand a private cloud. As needs converge, a hybrid solution continues to gain popularity. Developers must consider if their applications might be run on either or both.
Hear about Midokura.com's journey going from the colos to cloud servers to AWS.
For enterprises trying to stay ahead of the game, having a robust and fast application development program can make or break their market presence. The challenge for developers, however, is to build responsive, devise-agnostic applications in days, not months.

vCloud Automation Center and Pivotal Cloud Foundry – Better PaaS Solution (VM...VMware Tanzu
David Benedict - Member of Technical Staff, VMware
Cornelia Davis - Platform Engineer, Cloud Foundry, Pivotal
Vipul Shah - Director of Product Management, VMware
vCloud Automation Center provides powerful capabilities for policy-based orchestration of complex infrastructure and application deployments. A Platform as a Service (PaaS) such as Pivotal CF, built on the open-source Cloud Foundry, presents a set of abstractions and capabilities that focus on the application implementation and the run-time services it will leverage.
The value of a PaaS installation is equally driven by the set of application-centric capabilities provided, such as performance monitoring or logging, and by the set of services that can easily be integrated into an application; exposing the offerings in the vCloud Automation Center services catalog for leverage by apps deployed into Pivotal CF allows an enterprise faster time to value. And a vCloud Automation Center user can model system deployments, automating infrastructure provisioning and software deployments; this modeling is equally valuable even when the targets of the orchestrations are the PaaS abstractions of applications and services.
These products are very complementary and we’ll show you how. Understand how the combined vCloud Automation Center / Pivotal CF solutions provide the basis for a comprehensive PaaS solution. See a demo of and roadmap for the integrated solution. Learn how to use vCloud Automation Center to model applications for deployment into Pivotal CF and how to draw vCloud Automation Center services into Pivotal CF.
After a brief overview of both products, we will describe the capabilities and derived value of the joint solution that will have early access availability at the time of the conference.

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).

Why should I care?
Market direction
• Currently 10% of the software is on the cloud and by 2020, 25% of the software will be on the cloud
and 75% on premise - Mr. Gelsinger, CEO VmVare
• The use of cloud computing is growing, and by 2016 this growth will increase to become the bulk of
new IT spend. ... 2016 will be a defining year for cloud as private cloud begins to give way to hybrid cloud,
and nearly half of large enterprises will have hybrid cloud deployments by the end of 2017.“ – Gartner
• IDC estimates the private cloud market totaled $12.3 billion in 2012 and will increase to more than
$22.2 billion in 2017.
Demystify terminology
• Meaningful conversations
• Interplay of technologies
Understand cloud landscape
• Tool evaluation and prototyping
• Pick the tools that meet your organization’s /customer’s needs
Private/Hybrid Cloud
• What, Why, How?

Cloud or Virtualization
On-demand self-service
A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities - server time, network storage automatically.
Broad network access
Capabilities are available over the network and accessed through standard mechanisms.
Resource pooling
Computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model. These can be
scaled up or down based on demand.
Rapid elasticity
Capabilities can be elastically provisioned and released based on demand. To the customer, these
capabilities appear to be unlimited and can be appropriated in any quantity at any time.
Measured service
Monitor, control, and report resource utilization to consumers.
6. Picture – all cloud jargon
On-premise Vs. Cloud
• On-premise
Virtualized/Non-virtualized infrastructure that supports application
and data within an organization
• Public
Cloud infrastructure is made available for general public and is owned
by organization selling cloud service
• Private
Cloud infrastructure is solely for an organization managed internally or
externally
• Hybrid
Cloud infrastructure is a composition of private and public clouds.
Built on technology that enables data and application portability.
Cloud bursting for load balancing.
7. Picture – all cloud jargon
Why private cloud?
• Security
Better control on users accessing services
Integration with organization’s enterprise security
• Maximum resource utilization
Efficient use of organization’s resources
• Reliability
Organization is solely responsible for its SLAs.
• Customized
Infrastructure is customized to meet organization’s needs.
• Organization agility
Shorten delivery cycles and accelerate time to market
– Quickly spawn virtualized machines with ISO
– Cloud management self-service portals
• Better testing env
Spawn VM instances with different test environments.
