DataCore’s Fifth Annual State of Software-Defined Storage (SDS) Survey Reveals Surprising Lack of Spending on Big Data, Object Storage and OpenStack. In contrast, more than half of organizations polled (52 percent) look to extend the life of existing storage assets and future-proof their IT infrastructure with SDS in 2015.
On the other hand, this year’s report reveals several major business drivers for implementing Software-Defined Storage. 52 percent of respondents expect SDS will extend the life of existing storage assets and future-proof their storage infrastructure, enabling them to easily absorb new technologies. Close to half of respondents look to SDS to avoid hardware lock-in from storage manufacturers, while lowering hardware costs by allowing them to shop among several competing suppliers. Operationally, they see SDS simplifying management of different classes of storage by automating frequent or complex operations. This is notable in comparison with earlier surveys, as these results portray a sharp increase in the recognition of the economic benefits generated by SDS (reduced CAPEX), complementing the OPEX savings referenced in prior years.
Other surprises include: while flash technology penetration expanded it is still absent in 28 percent of the cases and 16 percent reported that it did not meet application acceleration expectations. Also interesting is that 21 percent reported that highly touted hyper-converged systems did not perform as required or did not integrate well within their infrastructure. On the other hand, Software-Defined Storage and storage virtualization are deemed very urgent now, with 72 percent of organizations making important investments in these technologies throughout 2015. 81 percent also expect similar levels of spending on Software-Defined Storage technologies that will be incorporated within server SANs / virtual SANs and converged storage solutions.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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.

Good Afternoon everyone!
I am here to deliver 3 key takeaways today
1st, Why cloud modernization over cloud migration
2nd, What specific steps you need to take
And 3rd, How do you make the economics work
Why cloud modernization instead of cloud migration?
No carry-over of your technical debt - Once the application is modernized, application will be completely new from the architecture design perspective
No big bang approach - Instead of one time big upgrade we recommend modernization be spread over a period of time with smaller deliverables. This will also enable no-downtime.
Lower cost of execution - We focus primarily on getting value in smaller chunks while upgrading the core architecture.
Lower risk - Since the changes are performed in smaller chunks risk of execution is also pretty low.
What is $0 dollar modernization?
Free up cash from expensive middleware - This approach works very well with applications which use the likes of WebSphere and WebLogic as their application containers.
Use the free cash to fund Application Modernization - This is an approach which allows modernization without any additional budgetary support.
Other resulting benefits of this approach
Modernize at your own pace - Since the application is migrated to cloud at the very first step, there is no organization pressure of being cloud-enabled. Also knowing that in-production applications are critical in nature execution can be spread over a period of time. Spreading over time also ensures no disruption.
Cloud enabled during modernization - Applications are migrated to the cloud at the very first step. This way application is always available in the cloud while it is been modernized.
Harness the power of cloud native - End objective of this modernization approach is to harness the power of native technologies offered through the cloud platforms.
Why should enterprises adopt this model?
Business Need Driven Modernization
We take the capability based approach during the re-designing of the architecture. These capabilities would belong to a domain, enabling re-usability across enterprise.
This process also eliminate, antiquated technologies from the application architecture
Better TCO
Lower technology debt results to lower overhead
Lower risk results in higher yield for your investment
Faster time to market
Pre-conceived execution plans and standardized architecture patterns allow faster time to market
Let's compare these two charts here
What you see on the left side is the traditional big-bang approach. Here you build everything at once and go-live. This kind of approach is expensive and adds lot of risk to the system
What you see on the right is an approach where we build the system incrementally.
A technology chassis, is built which works as the foundation for the long term demand of the system. As said earlier features are extracted out of the old system and capabilities are added to this chassis. If you follow the red curve you will see that technical debt goes down and new system gets build.
Steps for modernization
There are 4 stages to this process
Re-platform - As a 1st step we migrate the application to PCF. It is very similar to cloud lift & shift. But the advantage here is, it runs on PCF at a very early stage of the modernization journey.
Modernization - At this stage we start applying offerings of Spring and PCF e.g. Spring Boot
Transformation - We carve out capabilities and start building independent Microservices. This also opens the application for external consumption
Microservices / API First - At this final stage the monolithic code would have been deconstructed and application is ready to enjoy the features of new architecture
Example of pre-migration Application Architecture
You can see here that WebSphere has been used as an application container
Also Websphere requires that it run on the AIX platform
There are bunch of other services which are not tightly-coupled to the core application
Example of post-migration PCF Architecture
Earlier I shared how a WebSphere architecture looked on AIX
On this slide you can see how the architecture looks
within PCF. This is almost L&S but the application is running on PCF
You can see PCF services available to the application. Not used at this stage but still available for all future demand
Lift & Shift considerations
You can see log, session, caching etc. in this list
Rule of thumb is to remove all the dependencies from the underlying operating system
This way application is ready for cloud enablement
Let me quickly walk you through this list
Iterate to Microservices/API First
This is a sample process of building capabilities.
It is repeated till the application is 100% Microservices enabled.
Post that all updates are done following the "API First principles".
How to pay for it?
There are 3 parts to the free cash flow 1. hardware, 2. license and 3. Ops
In this example you can find a savings of 75%(which is approximately $1.5M)
If you look at the %-savings from each of these groups, operations contributed most of the savings
I hope I was able to deliver 3 messages I mentioned at the beginning of the session.
Before moving to the Q&A let me answer some of the questions frequently asked by my clients
F A Qs
Q. Do I have to build a 12 factor Application to run on PCF?
A. No. It is not mandatory.
Q. Can I migrate my application to PCF?
A. Yes. Applications which follow certain architecture patterns can be migrated to PCF.
Q. Do I have to re-write my application to run on PCF?
A. No. If the application follows certain architecture patterns then only minor configuration changes would be needed.
Q. Do I need a PCF AI(App Instance) for each of my Microservices?
A. Depends on the definition of Microservice.
