This document discusses a vision for programming the cloud as a single unit by linking heterogeneous components across different cloud providers, technologies, and data models. It proposes that containers can act as the "glue" to enable cloud programming by providing a universal compute element. Key elements needed include: 1) A universal application description format like CNAB to describe and deliver cloud applications. 2) A global services directory like an evolved Docker Hub to make existing components discoverable and support billing/security. 3) Ensuring execution trust through identity, monitoring, and analyzing applications' actual behavior to ensure they function as expected.

Accelerating the Path to Digital with a Cloud Data StrategyMongoDB

This document discusses accelerating digital transformation through a cloud data strategy using MongoDB. It begins by outlining MongoDB's capabilities as a cloud data platform, including its use by over 3000 enterprises. The document then discusses how time to market has replaced cost as the primary driver for cloud adoption. It also outlines considerations for choosing a cloud data platform like deployment flexibility, reducing complexity, agility, resiliency, scalability, cost, and security. The document then provides an overview of MongoDB's cloud offerings, including MongoDB Atlas on public clouds, MongoDB Ops Manager for private clouds, and MongoDB Stitch for backend services. It also discusses best practices for replatforming applications from relational databases to MongoDB in the cloud.

Cloud computing, or in simpler shorthand just "the cloud", also focuses on maximizing the effectiveness of the shared resources. Cloud resources are usually not only shared by multiple users but are also dynamically reallocated per demand. This can work for allocating resources to users. For example, a cloud computer facility that serves European users during European business hours with a specific application (e.g., email) may reallocate the same resources to serve North American users during North America's business hours with a different application (e.g., a web server). This approach should maximize the use of computing power thus reducing environmental damage as well since less power, air conditioning, rackspace, etc. are required for a variety of functions. With cloud computing, multiple users can access a single server to retrieve and update their data without purchasing licenses for different applications.

Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network.[1] At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services.

A Tight Ship: How Containers and SDS Optimize the EnterpriseEric Kavanagh

The Briefing Room with Dez Blanchfield and Red Hat Think of containers as the drones of modern computing. They're small, agile, and can carry a significant payload. In many ways, they represent the fruition of the last two major paradigm shifts in enterprise software: SOA and virtualization. However, for companies to fully leverage this innovative approach, a persistent storage platform is needed that is as flexible and scalable as containers themselves. Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear Bloor Group Data Scientist Dez Blanchfield, who will explain the significance of container technology, and the relevance of software-defined storage (SDS) in a constantly evolving IT world. He'll be briefed by Steve Watt and Sayan Saha of Red Hat, who will demonstrate how open-source technology can help organizations take advantage of this brave new world of enterprise computing. They will explain how containers are the next step in the evolution of the operating system, and why SDS is now the optimal solution.

Dutch Oracle Architects Platform - Reviewing Oracle OpenWorld 2017 and New Tr...Lucas Jellema

Not since the rise of Service Oriented Architecture (and the supporting Fusion Middleware technology) over a decade ago have we seen so much rapid change in terms of application and infrastructure architecture. Cloud, Microservices and DevOps are perhaps the most explicit examples – but many other developments in technology, architecture and even the industry at large have an impact on how enterprises consider and employ IT – such as machine learning, IoT, blockchain. In this session for (infrastructure, solution, application, enterprise, security, data) architects – we will present the main stories, roadmaps and technologies from Oracle OpenWorld 2017 (and JavaOne) that influence, shape and enable architecture. We will brainstorm together on the consequences of the new directions outlined by Oracle – and coming our way from other quarters. We are seeing a a lot of change. New opportunities arise – that may become challenges or threats if we fail to recognize and embrace the change in time. This session will help us all to get a better handle on the winds in enterprise IT in general and in Oracle land in particular. Among the topics we will present and discuss are: - The Only Way is Up – the inevitable and imminent move from on premises to the cloud, and upwards in the stack – from IaaS to SaaS - Security and Ops in a hybrid landscape (multiple clouds & on premises, multiple technologies & interaction channels) - Autonomous Database – what, when, how - Oracle’s cloud strategy, High PaaS and Low PaaS, Open [source] technology (star of the show: Apache Kafka) and the commodization of the traditional Oracle platform - Container and Cloud Native at Oracle Cloud (Docker, Kubernetes Container Platform, Wercker, Istio Service Mesh, CNCF) - Serverless - Java Reborn – for microservices and cloud, modularized (highlights from the JavaOne conference) - Disruptive: Blockchain, IoT, Machine Learning

Enabling DPU Hardware Accelerators in XCP-ng Cloud Platform Environment - And...ShapeBlue

In cloud computing environments, VMs require fast access to resources like storage and networking. The hardware that the VMs access is implemented in software and/or by passing through a dedicated hardware device. Software-based solutions consume extra CPU cycles, thus resulting in poor performance. Also, these require to expose a device-model to the guest, thus increasing the attack surface. Conversely, hardware passthrough provides better performance and security but can be expensive in terms of the number of physical resources, since each device is dedicated to a single VM. This talk focuses on how Vates is working on sharing hardware resources among VMs by relying on dedicated processors named Data Processing Units (DPU). More precisely, Vates work on offloading Xen hypervisor of storage emulation by relying on Kalray K200 DPU PCIe controllers, a hardware accelerator based on MPPA architecture. ----------------------------------------- The CloudStack Collaboration Conference 2023 took place on 23-24th November.
