The Automated Docker Container Deployment Pipeline
Docker containers have brought great opportunities to shorten the deployment
process through continuous integration and delivery of applications and
microservices. This applies equally to enterprise datacenters as well as the
cloud.

In his session at 20th Cloud Expo, Jari Kolehmainen, founder and CTO of
Kontena, discussed solutions and benefits of a deeply integrated deployment
pipeline using technologies such as container management platforms, Docker
containers, and the drone.io Cl tool. He also demonstrated the deployment of
a CI/CD pipeline using container management, as well as show how to deploy a
containerized application through a continuous delivery pipeline.

Getting Public Cloud Benefits Without Public Cloud Drawbacks
You know you need the cloud, but you're hesitant to simply dump everything at
Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know
that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with
public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the
public cloud a non-starter. You're looking at private cloud solutions based
on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you're concerned with the limits
inherent in those technologies.
What do you do?
Private cloud infrastructure based on composable technologies result in
environments that are suitable for all your workloads while also providing
you with many of the benefits of the public cloud, and without the pitfalls.
Composable infrastructure is an emerging data center architecture that
provides you with the ... (more)

Advanced Network Scheduling and Isolation in Kubernetes Using a Containerized
Telco Solution
Given the popularity of the containers, further investment in the telco/cable
industry is needed to transition existing VM-based solutions to containerized
cloud native deployments. The networking architecture of the solution
isolates the network traffic into different network planes (e.g., management,
control, and media). This naturally makes support for multiple interfaces in
container orchestration engines an indispensable requirement.

Automation Is not DevOps
By Chris Dodds
A few years ago, if you would have asked me to define DevOps, my answer would
have sounded something like "Mumble mumble automation, mumble, automation,
mumble mumble, infrastructure-as-code, mumble mumble, strategery."
Thinking that DevOps equated to automation had mostly to do with the fact
that most of the DevOps people I talked to and articles I read really only
spoke about automation with only indirect references to anything else.
Implementing automation is definitely a part of what it means to be
practicing DevOps, but it's maybe 5-10%.
The reason that so much of what's been written about DevOps is focused on
automation is that it's easy to write and talk about tools. Relative to
implementing a true DevOps practice, automation is the easy part.
What DevOps actually represents
I'll use Gartner's definition to provide a comm... (more)

Global Traffic Management Informed by End-User Experience for Multi-Cloud
Flexibility
Enterprise architects are increasingly adopting multi-cloud strategies as
they seek to utilize existing data center assets, leverage the advantages of
cloud computing and avoid cloud vendor lock-in. This requires a globally
aware traffic management strategy that can monitor infrastructure health
across data centers and end-user experience globally, while responding to
control changes and system specification at the speed of today's DevOps
teams.

Why Composable Infrastructure Instead of HyperConvergence?
HyperConvergence came to market with the objective of being simple, flexible
and to help drive down operating expenses. It reduced the footprint by
bundling the compute/storage/network into one box. This brought a new set of
challenges as the HyperConverged vendors are very focused on their own
proprietary building blocks. If you want to scale in a certain way, let's say
you identified a need for more storage and want to add a device that is not
sold by the HyperConverged vendor, forget about it. This meant that up to now
the HyperConverged vendors were in charge of the requirements.

How to Make Use of Serverless Compute Solutions for IoT Device Simulation
When shopping for a new data processing platform for IoT solutions, many
development teams want to be able to test-drive options before making a
choice. Yet when evaluating an IoT solution, it's simply not feasible to do
so at scale with physical devices. Building a sensor simulator is the next
best choice; however, generating a realistic simulation at very high TPS with
ease of configurability is a formidable challenge. When dealing with multiple
application or transport protocols, you would be looking at some significant
engineering investment.
On-demand, serverless computing enables developers to try out a fleet of
devices on IoT gateways with ease. With a sensor simulator built on top of
AWS Lambda, it's possible to elastically gene... (more)
Going Serverless the Amazon Lambda Way? Stay Calm and Monitor On!
While some vendors scramble to create and sell you a fancy solution for
monitoring your spanking new Amazon Lambdas, hear how you can do it on the
cheap using just built-in Java APIs yourself. By exploiting a little-known
fact that Lambdas aren't exactly single-threaded, you can effectively
identify hot spots in your serverless code.
In his session at @DevOpsSummit at 21st Cloud Expo, Dave Martin, Product
owner at CA Technologies, will give a live demonstration and code
walkthrough, showing how to overcome the challenges of monitoring S3 and RDS.
This presentation will provide an overview of necessary Amazon Lambda
concepts and discus how to integrate the monitoring data with other tools.

A Honeywell Monitoring Story
By Craig Lowell
Service providers have long been lauded for a willingness to ‘eat their own
dog food,’ i.e. to use their own products or services for internal
operations and/or development.
For Catchpoint, that means that we use our own digital experience monitoring
platform to ensure that the platform itself is running optimally. Regular
tests of our own infrastructure ensure that our customers are not being
hampered by performance issues on our end.
For a commercial enterprise company like Honeywell, which manufactures
thousands of different products from aircraft engines and avionics to home
appliances, eating their own dog food is a much more daunting challenge, and
difficult to accomplish without some outside help.
Such was the case when Honeywell CEO David M. Cote notified his team of a
problem with excessively slow WiFi speeds on ... (more)
Total Cost of Ownership and the Cloud Adoption Lifecycle
IT organizations are moving to the cloud in hopes to approve efficiency,
increase agility and save money. Migrating workloads might seem like a simple
task, but what many businesses don't realize is that application migration
criteria differs across organizations, making it difficult for architects to
arrive at an accurate TCO number.
In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Joe Kinsella, CTO of CloudHealth
Technologies, will offer a systematic approach to understanding the TCO of a
cloud application in order to ensure a successful migration. Additionally, he
can detail CloudHealth's experience partnering with AWS Migration and provide
several proof points for the audience - helping to guide their migration
