In VirtualBox it can sometimes challenging to choose the correct networking solution to fit the needs of your specific usecase. In this presentation, the different options are explained and some example cases are discussed. Access between guests, host and other members of the network is elaborated. After this presentation you will be better able to choose the right solution for different usecases and understand the different benefits and drawbacks of every option.
In a general sense, virtualization, is the creation of a virtual, rather than an actual, version of something.
For example:
Google Earth, It is a virtual image of Earth which hold every detail about earth.
From a computing perspective, we might have already done some virtualization if you’ve ever partitioned a hard disk drive into more than one “virtual” drive.
Virtualization in a computing environment can be present in many different forms, some of which are:
Hardware virtualization
Storage and data virtualization
Software virtualization
Network virtualization
This is summary on Virtualization. It contains benefits and different types of Virtualization. For example:Server Virtualization, Network Virtualization, Data Virtualization etc.
Using open source software to build an industrial grade embedded linux platfo...SZ Lin
Building an embedded Linux platform is like a puzzle; placing the suitable software components in the right positions will constitute an optimal platform. However, selecting suitable components is difficult since it depends on different application scenarios. The essential components of an embedded Linux platform include the bootloader, Linux kernel, toolchain, root filesystem; it also needs the tools for image generation, upgrades, and testing. There are abundant resources in the Linux ecosystem with these components and tools; however, selecting the suitable modules and tools is still a key challenge for system designers.

Google jib: Building Java containers without DockerMaarten Smeets
In this quick introduction to Google Jib I'll show what it solves, how you can use it and how it compares to some other solutions. Also see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl-U9m8EXT8
Applications are usually deployed inside containers. A container consists of libraries and tools which allow the application to run inside. Since there can be exploitable vulnerabilities, it is not only important to keep your application up to date but also the container it runs in. There are various tools available to scan container images for those vulnerabilities. I decided to give Anchore Engine a try and create this presentation to give an overview to colleagues. Also I created a Katacoda scenario which allows you to tryout the Anchore Engine quickstart without having to setup your own Docker environment. Anchore Engine is open source and provides several integration options which make using it easy, such as a Jenkins plugin and a Kubernetes Admission Controller.
JDBC has been the de-facto standard for accessing relational databases for a long time. Times are however changing. In cloud environments the pay-per-use model is popular. If you can use resources more efficiently, you can save money! In addition, when running applications at cloud-scale, the number of concurrent requests which hit your services can skyrocket. Can JDBC handle such concurrency efficiently? Answer: No. The time has come to look beyond JDBC!
For services, reactive frameworks are becoming more popular. These frameworks can make more efficient use of resources due to their non-blocking nature, especially at high concurrency. Now with R2DBC relational databases can also be accessed using a reactive API! This means more efficient use of CPU and memory and better response times and throughput at high concurrency.
A tempting story but there are of course many questions
- Is R2DBC mature enough to implement?
- Which R2DBC drivers are available?
- Is framework support available?
- What do you need to do in order to implement R2DBC?
- Does it improve performance enough to make the switch worthwhile?
- Do I need to have a completely non-blocking stack to benefit from using R2DBC?
To answer these questions and more, I've created several implementations using R2DBC and JDBC with Spring Web MVC and Spring WebFlux and put them to the test. I looked at how to implement R2DBC and measured resource usage, throughput, and responsetimes. Interested in the results? Hint: R2DBC is pretty cool!
Performance Issue? Machine Learning to the rescue!Maarten Smeets
t can be difficult to determine how to improve performance of microservices. There are many factors you can vary but which factor will be the one having most impact? During this presentation, a method using the random forest machine learning algorithm will be applied in order to help improve performance of a microservice running inside a JVM. Several measures are taken such as thoughput and response times. Java version, JVM supplier, heap, garbage collection algorithm and microservice framework are all varied. Which factor is most important in determining the response time and throughput of the services? The Random Forest algorithm will be introduced to solve this challenge. Not only will this presentation give some useful suggestions for improving the performance of microservices but will also introduce a novel way to take on the challenge of performance tuning which can be applied to other use-cases. This presentation is especially interesting to developers and architects.
Performance of Microservice Frameworks on different JVMsMaarten Smeets
A lot is happening in world of JVMs lately. Oracle changed its support policy roadmap for the Oracle JDK. GraalVM has been open sourced. AdoptOpenJDK provides binaries and is supported by (among others) Azul Systems, IBM and Microsoft. Large software vendors provide their own supported OpenJDK distributions such as Amazon (Coretto), RedHat and SAP. Next to OpenJDK there are also different JVM implementations such as Eclipse OpenJ9, Azul Systems Zing and GraalVM (which allows creation of native images). Other variables include different versions of the JDK used and whether you are running the JDK directly on the OS or within a container. Next to that, JVMs support different garbage collection algorithms which influence your application behavior. There are many options for running your Java application and choosing the right ones matters! Performance is often an important factor to take into consideration when choosing your JVM. How do the different JVMs compare with respect to performance when running different Microservice implementations? Does a specific framework provide best performance on a specific JVM implementation? I've performed elaborate measures of (among other things) start-up times, response times, CPU usage, memory usage, garbage collection behavior for these different JVMs with several different frameworks such as Reactive Spring Boot, regular Spring Boot, MicroProfile, Quarkus, Vert.x, Akka. During this presentation I will describe the test setup used and will show you some remarkable differences between the different JVM implementations and Microservice frameworks. Also differences between running a JAR or a native image are shown and the effects of running inside a container. This will help choosing the JVM with the right characteristics for your specific use-case!

Microservices on Application Container Cloud ServiceMaarten Smeets
ACCS provides the perfect cloud service to develop microservices on! In this presentation I'll demonstrate some of recent the highlights for developers such as Python support, integration options with the Event Hub and I'll go into detail for using the Application Caches to increase performance. Spring Boot will be used extensively in this presentation. After this presentation you will have a better understanding of the options provided by ACCS to create microservices quick and easily.
WebLogic Stability; Detect and Analyse Stuck ThreadsMaarten Smeets
Stuck threads are a major cause for stability issues of WebLogic Server environments. Often people in operations and development who are confronted with stuck threads, are at a loss what to do. In this presentation we will talk about what stuck threads actually are and how you can detect them. We will elaborate on how you can get to the root cause of a stuck thread and which tools can help you with that. In order to reduce the impact of having stuck threads in an application, we will talk about using workmanagers. In order to prevent stuck threads we will illustrate several patterns which can be implemented in infrastructure and applications. Next time you see a stuck thread, you will know what to do!
Redis is an open source in memory database which is easy to use. In this introductory presentation, several features will be discussed including use cases. The datatypes will be elaborated, publish subscribe features, persistence will be discussed including client implementations in Node and Spring Boot. After this presentation, you will have a basic understanding of what Redis is and you will have enough knowledge to get started with your first implementation!
All you need to know about transport layer securityMaarten Smeets
Many people think that using HTTPS to offer your site or service to clients makes you secure from eavesdroppers and people trying to manipulate your network traffic. Think again! In this presentation I'll dive into transport layer security. I'll elaborate on what you can achieve with SSL such as authentication, encryption and integrity and how you can achieve it. I'll talk about the client-server handshake, identity and trust, one-way and two-way SSL, keys and keystores and cipher suite choice. By means of several examples, I'll show what it can mean if you make the wrong choices in on premises and cloud scenario's. This presentation is relevant for anyone involved in securing connections between client and server using TLS and people interested in learning more about the topic of TLS in general.
Webservice security considerations and measuresMaarten Smeets
Security is a hot topic, especially with new laws concerning how to deal with personally identifiable information (PII) and the journey to the cloud many organisations are making. When implemented correctly, security measures can protect your company from people trying to spy on you or manipulate your systems. Security can be implemented at different layers. In this presentation I'll zoom in on webservices and which choices there are to make on the application layer and transport layer. This spans area's like authentication, keys/keystores, OWSM policy choices, WebLogic SSL configuration and cipher suite choices. Security measures are even more relevant in cloud integration scenario's since services might not just be accessible from your internal network. After this presentation, architects and developers will have a good idea on how to quickly get started with taking security measures.
WebLogic Scripting Tool allows easy management of many Weblogic Server based products. Oracle has strategically implemented WLST in many products to make provisioning and configuring of environments easy and reproducible. This among other things enables tools like Chef and Puppet to do their magic. WLST is based on Jython. Jython is an implementation of Python running on the Java VM. Both Python and the Java VM provide many options for extending WLST functionality beyond what is commonly done. This will be elaborated and demonstrated with several advanced use cases and their implementations. This technical presentation will provide you with the knowledge to get most out of your investment in Oracle products!
At OOW 2015 Oracle has released SOA Suite 12.2.1. This new release provides several interesting new features for developers such as end-to-end REST support, JavaScript support and an XSLT debugger. There are also several new features useful for the operations department such as Integration Workload Statistics, Circuit breaker, In-Memory SOA and WebLogic parallel deployments. In this presentation I will explain and demonstrate these new features and provide several use-cases were customers can greatly benefit by implementing them. This presentation is especially useful for developers, people in operations and architects to help them realize the benefits of implementing SOA Suite 12.2.1.
It is not that hard to build your own Cloud Adapter! You can enable a citizen developer to do their own integrations using ICS and also use the same adapter when developing on premise SOA solutions. Oracle enables you to sell your product in the Marketplace, further increasing your return of investment. I will show you the different designtime and runtime components which need to be implemented, how JDeveloper extension development works and how you can test your adapter on ICS locally using the ICS execution agent. I will share common pitfalls when starting adapter development to help you get a headstart when you are considering creating your own. This presentation will help developers and architects understand Cloud Adapters and when you should consider creating one yourself!
Login information and group memberships (identity) often are centrally managed in Enterprises. Many systems use this information to, for example, achieve Single Sign On (SSO) functionality. Surprisingly, access to the Weblogic Server Console and applications is often not centrally managed. I will explain why centralizing management of these identities, in addition to increased security, quickly starts reducing operational cost and even increases developer productivity. During a demonstration, I will introduce several methods for debugging authentication using an external authentication provider in order to lower the bar to apply this pattern. This technically oriented presentation is especially useful for people working in operations managing Weblogic Servers.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, enterprise software development is undergoing a significant transformation. Traditional coding methods are being challenged by innovative no-code solutions, which promise to streamline and democratize the software development process.
This shift is particularly impactful for enterprises, which require robust, scalable, and efficient software to manage their operations. In this article, we will explore the various facets of enterprise software development with no-code solutions, examining their benefits, challenges, and the future potential they hold.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

8. VirtualBox networking
Network Address Translation
• VirtualBox makes available automatically a single virtual isolated NAT router on a network
interface inside a guest. Every guest gets his own virtual router and can’t access other guests.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) requests on the interface are answered with an
IP for the guest and address of the NAT router as gateway. The DHCP server can be configured
using a CLI (no GUI support).
• The NAT router uses the hosts network interface. No specific VirtualBox network interface
needs to be created. External parties only see a single host interface.
• The NAT router opens a port on the hosts interface. The internal address is translated to the
hosts IP. The request to the destination IP is done. The response is forwarded back towards the
guest (a table of external port to internal IP is kept by the router).
• Port mappings can be made to allow requests to the host on a specific port to be forwarded to
the guest.

• VirtualBox creates a host interface (a virtual device visible on the host). This interface can be
shared amongst guests. Guests can access each other.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) requests on the interface are answered with an
IP for the guest and address of the Host only adapter. The DHCP server can be configured
using the VirtualBox GUI
• The virtual host interface is not visible outside of the host. The internet cannot be accessed via
this interface from the guest.
• The host can access the guests by IP. Port mappings are not needed.

Host only
• Benefits:
• Guests can access each other
• You can create separate guest networks
• DHCP server can be configured using the GUI
• Fixed IP possible
• Drawbacks
• To access the guest from the host requires port forwarding configuration
and might require an entry in the hosts hosts file for specific webinterfaces
• Requires additional VirtualBox configuration to define the network / DHCP server
• VirtualBox virtual host network interface (device + driver) required
• No internet access

• The guest uses a host interface.
On the host interface a net filter driver is applied to allow VirtualBox to send data to the guest.
This requires a so-called promiscuous mode to be used by the adapter. Promiscuous mode
means the adapter can have multiple MAC addresses. Most wireless adapters do not support
this. In that case VirtualBox replaces the MAC address of packages which are visible to the
adapter.
• An external DHCP server is used. Same way the host gets its IP / gateway. No additional
configuration required. It might not work if the DHCP server only allows registered MACs (some
company networks)
• Easy access. The guest is directly available from the network (every host) the host is connected
to. Port mappings are not required. The host can access the guests by IP. Guests can access
the host by IP.

• Benefits:
• Guests can access each other
• Host can access guests and guests can access the host. Anyone on the host
network can access the guests
• No virtual DHCP server needed
• Easy to configure / use
• Same access to internet as the host has
• Drawbacks
• Guests can’t be split into separate networks (not isolated)
• Sometimes doesn’t work; dependent on external DHCP server and ability to filter
packets on a host network interface. Company networks might block your interface
• No easy option for a fixed IP since host network is a variable
• Not secure. The guest is exposed on the hosts network

Case 1: ELK stack for learning purposes
• I’m trying out the new version of the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana)
• Requirements:
• I do not require internet access inside the guest
• I want to access my guest from my host
• I do not want my guest to be accessible outside of my host
• I do not want to manually configure port mappings

Case 2: SOA Suite for a security workshop
• I’m using Oracle SOA Suite for a security workshop
SOA Suite consists of 3 separate VMs, DB, Admin Server, Managed Server
• Requirements:
• The VMs require fixed (internal) IPs
• The VMs need to be able to access each other
• Course participants need to call my services from the same network
• I only want to expose specific ports

Case 3: Distributing a VM for a course
• I’ve created an Ubuntu / Spring Tool Suite VM for a course. The VM will be
distributed to participants.
• Requirements:
• The VM to distribute requires internet access. During the course several things
will need to be downloaded
• I am unaware of the VirtualBox created interfaces present on the host machines
and don’t want the participants to manually have to select an adapter
• I want the participants to do as little networking configuration as possible.
VirtualBox networking is not the purpose of this course.

Case 4: Running a server inside a VM
• I’ve created a server inside a VM which hosts an application.
• Requirements:
• The MAC of the VM is configured inside the routers DHCP server so it will always get the same IP.
Use the external DHCP server to obtain an IP
• The application will be used by (and thus needs to be accessible for) different people on the network.
• The application uses many different ports for different features. These ports change regularly. Some
features use random ports. Manual port mappings are not an option
• The application accesses different resources (such as a print server) on the hosts network
