Is Orchestration the Next Big Thing in DevOpsNati Shalom
DevOps processes (such as continuous deployment and delivery) often involve writing many custom scripts that are triggered by the build system. With that approach, it is relatively hard to trace the deployment process and troubleshoot when something goes wrong. Additionally, custom scripts are often not written in an easily understood manner. In this session we will walk through specific DevOps workflows (such as install, update, etc) using Riemann as the framework in subject and see the steps required to automate those processes. We will also discuss how Cloudify uses Riemann to provide simple execution and monitoring of those workflow processes. We will share how one customer, PaddyPower, was able to leverage Cloudify to transition their traditional IT into a DevOps environment, bridging the gap betwe

Deployment Automation on OpenStack with TOSCA and CloudifyCloudify Community
TOSCA (Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications) is an emerging standard for modeling complete application stacks and automating their deployment and management. It’s been discussed in the context of OpenStack for quite some time, mostly around Heat. In this session we’ll discuss what TOSCA is all about, why it makes sense in the context of OpenStack, and how we can take it farther up the stack to handle complete applications, both during and after deployment, on top of OpenStack.
This document discusses automating DevOps processes through orchestration and workflows. It introduces Petsy, a pet art company that needs to automate deployments. Common DevOps workflows like deployment, infrastructure upgrades, and scaling are described. The document then introduces the Cloudify project for defining application topologies and workflows through a TOSCA-inspired DSL. A live demo of installing Mezzanine is shown to demonstrate how workflows can install applications and dependencies. The document concludes by discussing how Cloudify fits into the OpenStack ecosystem.
The document discusses the challenges of building and managing big data and cloud applications, including outages, disaster recovery, complexity of multi-tier applications, and lock-in to specific clouds. It introduces Cloudify as a solution that allows deploying and managing applications across multiple clouds while avoiding vendor lock-in through portability and automation of monitoring and scaling.
Real World Example of Orchestrating Docker, Node JS, NFV on OpenStackNati Shalom
This document discusses the Cloudify orchestration platform and provides examples of its use. It begins with an overview of orchestration and the Cloudify architecture. It then describes customer case studies using Cloudify to automate application deployment across OpenStack and VMware. Live demos illustrate orchestrating simple and complex applications on Docker containers and vCloud Air. The document concludes by noting that change is constant and more changes are ahead for Cloudify and orchestration technologies.
Cloudify is software that automates deploying, managing, and scaling applications on cloud environments. It has two main products: Cloudify for application lifecycle management on any cloud, and XAP for extreme data processing. Cloudify uses recipes to deploy applications across virtual machines and manages monitoring, healing, and scaling. It aims to reduce complexity, costs, and lock-in risks for migrating enterprise applications to private or public clouds like OpenStack. Cloudify has over 400 customers worldwide across industries like financial services, telecom, and healthcare.
Application and Network Orchestration using Heat & ToscaNati Shalom
The buzzwords Neutron, Heat, and TOSCA are spoken about quite often when it comes to the OpenStack - and many of us are still trying to make sense of the terminology and its place in the OpenStack world.
Where OpenStack Neutron provides APIs for creating network elements, OpenStack Heat provides an orchestration engine for automating the setup and configuration of OpenStack infrastructure, while TOSCA is a standard for templating and defining application topology and policies (that form the basis for Heat). In this context, it really makes sense to put these all together to achieve application and network automation for OpenStack on steroids.
In this session we will learn how we can use the robust combination of Heat and TOSCA to configure and control resources on Nova and Neutron in order to automate the network configuration as part of the application deployment.
The session will include a demo and code examples that show how you can configure virtual networks, attach public IPs, set up security groups, set up load balancing and automatically scale up/down and more. You will leave this session understanding where Neutron meets Heat and TOSCA.
This talk was delivered as part of OpenStack Paris summit - 2014 - http://openstacksummitnovember2014paris.sched.org/event/2b85b682ccaf3a5961e463b61e2403f8#.VFeuG_TF8mc
It has long been debated whether OpenStack is production ready. In this session you will learn how a major bank has gone to production with more than 5000 VMs that delivered the results of a 40% decrease in cost, reduced deployment time to hours not weeks, 56 new technologies introduced, 7 new platforms launched - all in under a year. Learn how their platform built on Rackspace and RHEL, coupled with best of breed open source tooling - SaltStack, Jenkins, Cloudify, and Nexus are the enablers for production-grade OpenStack.

Kirin User Story: Migrating Mission Critical Applications to OpenStack Privat...Motoki Kakinuma
NTT Data is an IT service company.
Kirin is one of the largest beverages companies in Japan.
In this presentation, we will present the user story of migrating all applications from creaky infrastructure to OpenStack private cloud including actual challenges, know-hows and future prospects.
The key concept of this project is:
* Mission Critical: Migrate all Kirin enterprise applications to OpenStack private cloud.
* Think Big, Start Small: Start from small number of apps, and expand rapidly.
* Agility and elasticity: Adopt a PaaS-like automation approach, targeting 50% less development cost and 40% less operational cost.
In order to achieve all items above, we have decided to use OpenStack IaaS, ICO, which is an automation product by IBM, serverspec for testing, and Hinemos for monitoring management.
Starting from Aug 2014, the project expects 100 VM / 100 TB storage as the first-stage migration by end of 2015. We're planning to migrate 500 VM / 300 TB by end of 2016 and 2000 VM / 1 PB finally.
Protecting Yourself from the Container ShakeoutMirantis
Keynote by Boris Renski, Co-Founder and CMO of Mirantis, and Lachlan Evenson, Team Lead of Cloud Platform Engineering at Lithium Technologies, at OpenStack Silicon Valley 2015.
The Docker-fueled container craze is much less of a threat to VMs or OpenStack than it is to PaaS vendors. The story of “do it the way Google does it” is proving just as tough to monetize with enterprises as commodity cloud was. Boris will talk about OpenStack as a “safe harbor” from the coming container shakeout, leveraging the project’s maturity as a place to try various container strategies until the winner emerges.
Lachlan Evenson of Lithium will join Boris to share how Lithium deployed Kubernetes on OpenStack.
This document provides an introduction to OpenStack, an open-source cloud computing platform. It discusses how OpenStack was launched in 2010 by Rackspace Hosting and NASA to help organizations with cloud computing services. The document outlines several components of OpenStack including Nova (compute), Cinder (block storage), Glance (images), Neutron (networking), Horizon (dashboard), Heat (orchestration), Ceilometer (billing), and Swift (object storage). It also notes that over 500 companies have joined the OpenStack project and that jobs in cloud computing and OpenStack are growing rapidly.
This document summarizes two template languages for OpenStack - HOT (Heat Orchestration Template) and TOSCA (Topology and Orchestration Standard for Cloud Applications). It describes their histories, similarities in structure, differences in lifecycle support and wiring/validation capabilities. It also discusses how they have mutually influenced each other and projects like a TOSCA to HOT translator and Cloudify that use TOSCA templates with HOT to orchestrate infrastructure. Examples of SugarCRM and NodeCellar applications defined in HOT and TOSCA-like templates are also provided.
1. The document discusses running NetflixOSS microservices on Docker locally and in the cloud. It demonstrates Docker local setup with Eureka for service discovery and Microscaler for auto scaling and recovery.
2. Key lessons from running SkyDNS and Eureka together for service discovery in Docker include that both work well but Eureka provides more application awareness while SkyDNS has looser coupling.
3. Microscaler is an open source auto scaling system developed to handle auto scaling, recovery, and version rolling for Docker local deployments, providing functionality similar to Amazon Auto Scaling and RightScale for Docker environments.
This document discusses approaches to managing applications across multiple cloud platforms, or multi-cloud management. It advocates taking a pragmatic approach using containers, Kubernetes, and automation. Kubernetes can provide a common layer of abstraction across clouds and simplify the multi-cloud challenge. An example approach is presented using ONAP microservices and Kubernetes to deploy applications across clouds. Automation is key to allow integration between clouds and platforms in a hybrid environment. The summary emphasizes that hybrid cloud is a reality and Kubernetes with standards like TOSCA can help provide interoperability when managing applications on multiple clouds.

and a Detailed demo of VPC feature of Cloudstack
Today, the development and operations landscape has shifted to a more collaborative model merging the two (DevOps). Developers need to know much more about the operational components of their software - especially around network programming, services development, and continuous deployment. Likewise, the developer's IT counterpart needs to know much more about development - especially around infrastructure automation (Chef/Puppet), automated testing, and continuous deployment.
Pivotal Cloud Foundry has been able to run on AWS for years through various manual configurations but required significant skills and ongoing maintenance. Pivotal now provides an automated way to install Cloud Foundry on AWS using Ops Manager. The new installation process provisions a full-featured PCF platform within a VPC in about 5 hours from start to finish. It intelligently leverages various AWS native services like S3, RDS, and Elastic Load Balancing while also supporting a standard installation without these services.
This document discusses best practices for avoiding cloud lock-in. It recommends using open source software, open standards, and open APIs to build infrastructure that is easily replicable and avoids proprietary features. It also suggests abstracting APIs, looking for multi-vendor ecosystems, and using standards like OVF, OCCI, and CDMI. The document provides specific tips for avoiding lock-in with SaaS, PaaS and IaaS and concludes that good planning and automation can help mitigate lock-in risks.

Cloudify and Terraform can be integrated to provide the benefits of both platforms. Terraform is used to define and provision infrastructure, while Cloudify exposes selected Terraform-created resources as nodes to allow workflow automation and auto-scaling. The Cloudify Terraform plugin pulls new states from the Terraform backend and applies updates, enabling existing Terraform users to leverage additional Cloudify capabilities like service orchestration and management tools.
Why NFV and Digital Transformation Projects Fail! Nati Shalom
This document discusses challenges with network function virtualization (NFV) and digital transformation projects. It suggests that an agile transformation focused on quick time to value, rather than "big bang" transformations, leads to greater success. A pragmatic approach to standards that emphasizes interoperability over strict compliance is recommended. Both new and traditional vendors should be utilized in a "best of breed" manner. The technology transformation should be smoothed by gradually increasing cloud nativeness. Declarative networking and automation can help drive open standards in a fragmented industry and make networking infrastructure more innovative.
This presentation provides an introduction to the Cloudify integration plugin with Terraform.
This integration allows Terraform users to use Cloudify to manage configuration and workflow of applications ontop of an infrastructure that was created by Terraform.
This document summarizes key points from an OpenStack Days Israel keynote presentation. It discusses how OpenStack can drive infrastructure innovation by providing an open, common, and composable platform for multiple VMs and containers. It also notes how OpenStack is evolving to think beyond Nova and serve as a standard API for other clouds. Several Israeli companies are highlighted that are leveraging OpenStack for private clouds, NFV, hybrid cloud, and Kubernetes including Bezeq, IDF, Cloudify, Amdocs, Mellanox, Kenshoo, and LivePerson. The presentation concludes by thanking OpenStack contributors.

It’s no news that containers represent a portable unit of deployment, and OpenStack has proven an ideal environment for running container workloads. However, where it usually becomes more complex is that many times an application is often built out of multiple containers. What’s more, setting up a cluster of container images can be fairly cumbersome because you need to make one container aware of another and expose intimate details that are required for them to communicate which is not trivial especially if they’re not on the same host.
These scenarios have instigated the demand for some kind of orchestrator. The list of container orchestrators is growing fairly fast. This session will compare the different orchestation projects out there - from Heat to Kubernetes to TOSCA - and help you choose the right tool for the job.
Session link from teh summit: https://openstacksummitmay2015vancouver.sched.org/event/abd484e0dedcb9774edda1548ad47518#.VV5eh5NViko
During the past few years we’ve seen how our entire data-center becomes software defined. This include the Compute, Storage, Network and also Configuration. This new data centre is the cloud.
The missing piece in the puzzle:
While this is pretty much old news there is one big thing that is missing in this puzzle and that is the operator itself.
The operator is responsible for running processes such:
* Installation of new apps
* Upgrades and update of new features or patches
* Performance tuning
* Handling failure
* Managing the capacity to meet the scaling demand.
Most of those tasks today involves lots of human intervention. Users who realised that gap try to mitigate that by putting their own custom automation - usually that comes in a form of scripts on-top of the configuration management. Those custom scripts tend to grow fairly quickly to the point where they become unmanageable.
This presentation will introduce how we can use an orchestrator to automate those tasks and by that create a software defined Operator.
Complex Analytics with NoSQL Data Store in Real TimeNati Shalom
NOSQL are often limited in the type of queries that they can support due to the distributed nature of the data. In this session we would learn patterns on how we can overcome this limitation and combine multiple query semantics with NoSQL based engines.
We will demonstrate specifically a combination of key/value, SQL like, Document model and Graph based queries as well as more advanced topic such as handling partial update and query through projection. We will also demonstrate how we can create a meshaup between those API's i.e. write fast through Key/Value API and execute complex queries on that same data through SQL query.

When networks meets apps (open stack atlanta)Nati Shalom
Recent advancements in OpenStack capabilities have made the cloud better tuned to enterprise needs by introducing much more flexible network designs and networking services, with the tradeoff of making the cloud more complex.
In this session we will describe how we can leverage the power of the new networking advancement without exposing the complexity to the end user. We will present alternative approaches and their tradeoffs for automating the deployment of a typical n-tier enterprise application that include multi-tenant environment, separate network for admin and applications, cross region network, attach a floating IP, setup security groups etc. all through a combination of Heat, TOSCA, Chef, Puppet, and more.
This document discusses application centric DevOps and orchestration tools. It contrasts infrastructure centric versus application centric approaches. Infrastructure centric tools like configuration management focus on defining directives and scripts to configure master and child nodes. Application centric tools like Cloudify focus on mapping application dependencies, deploying applications across infrastructure, and automating monitoring, healing and scaling of applications. The document provides an example of how PaddyPower uses Cloudify for continuous delivery and discusses how Cloudify integrates with configuration tools like Chef to provide deployment, post-deployment and advanced orchestration capabilities.
Case Studies for moving apps to the cloud - DLD 2013Nati Shalom
This document discusses four case studies of organizations moving mission critical applications to the cloud using Cloudify. The first case study is of an investment bank moving thousands of applications to their private cloud. The second is of a telecommunications company using Cloudify to build a carrier-grade PaaS offering on their cloud platform. The third case study is of a systems integrator using Cloudify to automate deployment of an IBM big data stack for customers on OpenStack. The fourth case study is of a company using Cloudify for multi-cloud disaster recovery across regions.
Real-Time Big Data at In-Memory Speed, Using StormNati Shalom
Storm, a popular framework from Twitter, is used for real-time event processing. The challenge presented is how to manage the state of your real-time data processing at all times. In addition, you need Storm to integrate with your batch processing system (such as Hadoop) in a consistent manner.
This session will demonstrate how to integrate Storm with an in-memory database/grid, and explore various strategies for integrating the data grid with Hadoop and Cassandra, seamlessly. By achieving smooth integration with consistent management, you will be able to easily manage all the tiers of you Big Data stack in a consistent and effective way.

Disaster Recovery on Demand on the CloudNati Shalom
How to avoid Cloud Outages and leverage cloud economics to keep the cost down through automation of disaster recovery processes and on-demand deployment of the backup nodes.
Disaster recovery on demand on the cloudNati Shalom
The document discusses outages on cloud platforms like AWS and strategies for disaster recovery. It notes that AWS has experienced several outages in 2011, 2012, and 2013, costing users millions per hour. To prepare for outages and enable fast disaster recovery, the document recommends having redundancy across multiple cloud regions and availability zones using automation and data replication. It presents a case study of a company that used the Cloudify platform to clone their application environment and database across different AWS regions, enabling failover between regions in seconds in the event of an outage. This approach significantly reduced recovery time objectives while keeping costs lower than maintaining a dedicated hot disaster recovery site.
The massive computing and storage resources that are needed to support big data applications make cloud environments an ideal fit. In this session, you'll learn how to build your big data "database on-demand" using MongoDB, Cassandra, Solr, MySQL, or any other big data solution, as well as manage your big data application using a new open source framework called “Cloudify.” All this, on top of the OpenStack cloud.
Building cross-region and cross could high availability into your app, a real life use case by Gigaspaces, Nati Shalom, Funder & CTO, Gigaspaces
Achieving high levels of availability and disaster recovery in a cloud environment requires the implementation of patterns and practices that introduce redundancy through multi-zone, multi-region, and multi-cloud deployments. As we move towards implementing higher availability, we cannot escape the direct increase in the accidental complexity of the deployment architecture resulting from lack of cloud portability and deployment lifecycle automation. We present how high availability and disaster recovery were achieved in reality by using the Cloudify open source framework on top of AWS. This approach applies to not just AWS but also other public clouds and private cloud environments such as Eucalyptus. The resulting reference architecture provides portable PostgreSQL replication and disaster recovery as well as application tier scalability across zones, regions, and public/private clouds through a unified deployment workflow.
The document describes how an in-memory data grid (IMDG) like GigaSpaces XAP can be used to power a payment authorization application. Key elements include:
1) Payment objects are written to the IMDG, with annotations defining the primary key, routing attribute, and secondary indexes.
2) Validation tasks read from the IMDG in parallel to check the user profile and merchant profile.
3) A payment authorization object is updated in the IMDG to track validation status.
4) The fully validated payment object results in an authorization being written to the IMDG.
Adopting Hadoop to manage your Big Data is an important step, but not the end-solution to your Big Data challenges. Here are some of the additional considerations you must face:
Choosing the right cloud for the job: The massive computing and storage resources that are needed to support Big Data applications make cloud environments an ideal fit, and more than ever, there is a growing number of choices of cloud infrastructure types and providers. Given the diverse options, and the dynamic environments involved, it becomes ever more important to maintain the flexibility for all your IT needs.
Big Data is a complex beast: It involves many and different moving parts, in large clusters, and is continually growing and evolving. Managing such an environment manually is not a viable option. The question is, how can you achieve automation of all this complexity?
The world beyond Hadoop: Big Data is not just Hadoop – there is a whole rapidly growing ecosystem to contend with, including NoSQL, data processing, analytics tools… As well as your own application services. How can you manage deployment, configuration, scaling and failover of all the different pieces, in a consistent way?
In this session, you'll learn how to deploy and manage your Hadoop cluster on any Cloud, as well as manage the rest of your big data application stack using a new open source framework called Cloudify.
Scaling and Managing Big Data Apps in the CloudNati Shalom
Title: Scaling and Managing Big Data Apps on Public Clouds
Abstract: The massive computing and storage resources that are needed to support big data applications make on-demand, elastic cloud environments an ideal fit. However, managing your big data app on the cloud is no walk in the park - configuration, orchestration, H/A, auto-scaling are all quite complex when it comes to choosing the right cloud for you, whether it’s public, private or a hybrid cloud - which is where Cloudify and Eucalyptus come together. In this session, you'll learn how to deploy, manage, monitor and scale your big data apps on the open source Eucalyptus cloud platform using Cloudify, as well as easily test drive your apps locally and then migrate the workload to Amazon Web Services EC2.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock
Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc
Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.
AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix
Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/
Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.
