In his session at @ThingsExpo, Shashank Jain, a development architect for SAP Labs, will discuss the objective, which is to automate the IoT deployment process from development to production scenarios using Docker containers.
Discussions of cloud computing have evolved in recent years from a focus on specific types of cloud, to a world of hybrid cloud, and to a world dominated by the APIs that make today's multi-cloud environments and hybrid clouds possible.
In this Power Panel at 17th Cloud Expo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff, panelists will address the importance of customers being able to use the specific technologies they need, through environments and ecosystems that expose their APIs to make true change and transformation possible.
The Internet of Things (IoT), in all its myriad manifestations, has great potential. Much of that potential comes from the evolving data management and analytic (DMA) technologies and processes that allow us to gain insight from all of the IoT data that can be generated and gathered. This potential may never be met as those data sets are tied to specific industry verticals and single markets, with no clear way to use IoT data and sensor analytics to fulfill the hype being given the IoT today. 
The Internet of Things is clearly many things: data collection and analytics, wearables, Smart Grids and Smart Cities, the Industrial Internet, and more. Cool platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Intel's Galileo and Edison, and a diverse world of sensors are making the IoT a great toy box for developers in all these areas.
In this Power Panel at @ThingsExpo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff, panelists will discuss what things are the most important, which will have the most profound effect on the world, and what should we expect to see over the next couple of years.
For manufacturers, the Internet of Things (IoT) represents a jumping-off point for innovation, jobs, and revenue creation. But to adequately seize the opportunity, manufacturers must design devices that are interconnected, can continually sense their environment and process huge amounts of data.
As a first step, manufacturers must embrace a new product development ecosystem in order to support these products. 
Test-Driven Development is a great tool for functional testing, but can you apply the same technique to performance testing? Why not? The purpose of TDD is to build out small unit tests, or scenarios, under which you control your initial coding. Your tests will fail the first time you run them because you haven’t actually developed any code. But once you do start coding, you’ll end up with just enough code to pass the test. There’s no reason the same philosophy can’t be applied to performance te...

Martin Fowler describes how infrastructure automation is a key enabler of microservices:
“Many of the products or systems being build with microservices are being built by teams with extensive experience of Continuous Delivery and it’s precursor, Continuous Integration. Teams building software this way make extensive use of infrastructure automation techniques. This is illustrated in the build pipeline shown below.”
In a recent research, Analyst firm IDC found that the average cost of a critical application failure is $500,000 to $1 million per hour and the average total cost of unplanned application downtime is $1.25 billion to $2.5 billion per year for Fortune 1000 companies. In addition to the findings on the cost of the downtime, the research also highlighted best practices for development, testing, application support, infrastructure, and operations teams.
Ever since the dawn of the Internet, people have struggled with how to get one computer to talk to another. Early business systems had no provision for such interactions. They were entirely closed— worlds unto themselves.
As enterprises set up early networks, the question of how to get applications to interact with each other became a pressing business concern, and led to the introduction of Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs). A client computer might directly interact with the program running on a...
Most everyone in Cloud IT circles has realized the power of containerization and that companies are adopting Docker containers at a remarkable rate. There are many good reasons for this, such as easily setting up dev/test scenarios (DevOps), and building out sophisticated, distributed computing clusters. But there are some deeper questions this talk will address from the Microsoft perspective. For example, what is the future of Windows in a containerized world? How will Windows and Linux work to...
After more than five years of DevOps, definitions are evolving, boundaries are expanding, ‘unicorns’ are no longer rare, enterprises are on board, and pundits are moving on.

What does the next 5 years of DevOps look like?
In this Power Panel at DevOps Summit, moderated by DevOps Summit Conference Chair Andi Mann, panelists w...
Microservices are a very exciting architectural approach that many organizations are looking to as a way to accelerate innovation. Microservices promise to allow teams to move away from monolithic "ball of mud" systems, but the reality is that, in the vast majority of organizations, different projects and technologies will continue to be developed at different speeds.
How to handle the dependencies between these disparate systems with different iteration cycles? Consider the "canoncial problem"...

IT is often cast in a dichotomy where things are either viewed as traditional, stable, and safe or innovative, impermanent, and vulnerable. There have been multiple attempts to organize these classifications in a fashion that make IT budget and planning more predictable such as various agile methodologies, DevOps, and the bimodal model.
What qualifies as success depends on the customer and producer involved in a project. A survey conducted by Scott Ambler in 2013 suggests that being on schedule...

DevOps has traditionally played important roles in development and IT operations, but the practice is quickly becoming core to other business functions such as customer success, business intelligence, and marketing analytics.
Modern marketers today are driven by data and rely on many different analytics tools. They need DevOps engineers in general and server log data specifically to do their jobs well. Here’s why: Server log files contain the only data that is completely full and accurate in th...
No one should need to be convinced the value of good data. It gives you the confidence to make decisions quickly and with less risk, it allows you to measure your success, and it lets you know when you need to adjust your course. But there’s a difference between knowing the value of data, and creating a culture around it. A data-driven culture is a culture where everyone quantifies their actions as much as possible, and asks themselves how their teams are having a tangible impact on the business...
Objects are one of the core components of the JavaScript language and something that you will interact with every time you look at a pice of JavaScript code. The easiest way to explain what a JavaScript Object is would be to compare it to an "object" in real life. In JavaScript, an Object is a single entity with properties and a type.
Financial institutions, like other critical service industries such as health care and air travel, have the unique challenge of no room for failure. It's a bad day if your ATM card doesn't work. It's a really bad day if you do a bunch of online trading based on incorrect information. Fintech startups, beware. Money, as it turns out, is kind of a big deal to a lot of people.
