Virtualization Expo on Ulitzer
Virtualization cuts across just about all that you might find in the today's
data center: to one degree or another, clients, servers, applications,
storage systems, data networks, and security can all now be virtualized. .
By compressing multiple workloads onto a single physical server,
Virtualization enables data centers to save tremendous amounts of money on
hardware, power, cooling and floor space.
For small and midsized enterprises, Virtualization can also help data centers
tap into levels of fault tolerance previously enjoyed only by huge
organizations.
And chief executives are discovering that Virtualization has the potential
not only to improve the balance sheet, but also to strengthen competitive
advantage and put a shine on the corporate brand.
Designing and managing IT environments independently from physical

I dare you to say big data again.
It’s Friday and it feels like summer (finally), though perhaps at 92
degrees, it’s a little soon for so much heat. This week’s cloud

Last month I was fortunate enough to give a couple of talks at OSCON. I was
particularly pleased with the reception my keynote received on Creating
Communities of Inclusion, which touched on some topics beyond the typical
licensing and community around open source software. I was was also asked
to expand on these topics at OpenSource.com. Here are the abstracts and links
to the presentations and article.
OSCON Keynote: Creating Communities of Inclusion
Free and open source software is equal parts technology and humanity. Beyond
the coding standards, development environments and essential parts of
delivering free software the ideals that drive this movement are powerful.
This is a reflection on the lessons gleaned from successful F/LOSS
communities and a call to action to spread their ideals to other endeavors
such as medicine and government. (video and slides here)... (more)
Clear Tookit on Ulitzer
Development of enterprise Flex/Java rich Internet applications benefits from
using automated data integration solutions and productivity tools.
Currently Adobe offers LiveCycle Data Services ES2 (LCDS) and open source
BlazeDS 3.
While LCDS is certainly a great piece of software for those who are looking
to support thousands of concurrent users via the most efficient communication
protocols, its high licensing cost makes LCDS unaffordable for the vast
majority of the enterprise applications let alone small businesses and
startups.
If you are looking for an alternative solution for integrating Flex and Java
EE layers, consider using GraniteDS, WebOrb, and Clear Toolkit.
The first two products offer their own implementation of the AMF protocol,
and Clear Toolkit uses the AMF libraries that come with BlazeDS . If you are

Eucalyptus Session at Cloud Expo
Mårten Mickos, the guy who sold MySQL to Sun for a billion dollars, has got
himself another company. Now all he has to do is find another sucker like
Sun.
Mårten, who wouldn't be Mårten without that cute little Finnish doohickey
over his name, has been named CEO of Eucalyptus Systems, the open source
private cloud start-up. Woody Rollins, who was CEO, has morphed into the
company's CFO.
Since leaving Sun and MySQL last year, Mårten has been at Benchmark Capital,
which backed MySQL, as entrepreneur-in-residence trying to spot his next
opportunity. As it happens Eucalyptus is a Benchmark investment. Benchmark
led its $5.5 million first round.
Mårten says that while he was at Benchmark he asked around and people
identified only two real hot buttons: the cloud and the mobile Internet. Both
of them are gonna be massively big, but he fe... (more)
Is Eclipse Faster than Netbeans for Arquillian Testing on a Remote GlassFish
Server? Part 2
While putting my test code up on GitHub and writing the readme.md, I ran my
NetBeans test code on my 2011 early MacBook Pro.
To my surprise the times for both embedded and remote testing were between 25
and 35 seconds.
My original blog was based on working on a much much faster Windows 8.1
system that took 16 seconds for embedded but 100 seconds for remote. So I
guess we blame:
Microsoft Windows 8.1 Java on Windows
You can download the Eclipse version of the code at:
https://github.com/omniprof/JPAJSFGlassFish03Eclipse
and the NetBeans version at:

Some very bright people will be looking at the code and hopefully they will
have an explanation for why remote server testing on Windows 8.1 performs so
badly.

@ThingsExpo Stories By Liz McMillan  The Jevons Paradox suggests that when technological advances increase efficiency of a resource, it results in an overall increase in consumption. Writing on the increased use of coal as a result of technological improvements, 19th-century economist William Stanley Jevons found that these improvements led to the development of new ways to utilize coal. In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, Mark Thiele, Chief Strategy Officer for Apcera, compared the Jevons Paradox to modern-day enterprise IT, examin...

As we enter the final week before the 19th International Cloud Expo | @ThingsExpo in Santa Clara, CA, it's time for me to reflect on six big topics that will be important during the show.
Hybrid Cloud
This general-purpose term seems to provide a comfort zone for many enterprise IT managers. It sounds reassuring to be able to work with one of the major public-cloud providers like AWS or Microsoft Azure while still maintaining an on-site presence.
Logs are continuous digital records of events generated by all components of your software stack – and they’re everywhere – your networks, servers, applications, containers and cloud infrastructure just to name a few. The data logs provide are like an X-ray for your IT infrastructure. Without logs, this lack of visibility creates operational challenges for managing modern applications that drive today’s digital businesses.

Here we will touch some key points, which are directly affected by network monitoring software. 
@DevOpsSummit at Cloud taking place June 6-8, 2017, at Javits Center, New York City, is co-located with the 20th International Cloud Expo and will feature technical sessions from a rock star conference faculty and the leading industry players in the world.
The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for long develop...
Monitoring of Docker environments is challenging. Why? Because each container typically runs a single process, has its own environment, utilizes virtual networks, or has various methods of managing storage. Traditional monitoring solutions take metrics from each server and applications they run. These servers and applications running on them are typically very static, with very long uptimes. Docker deployments are different: a set of containers may run many applications, all sharing the resource...
The 20th International Cloud Expo has announced that its Call for Papers is open. Cloud Expo, to be held June 6-8, 2017, at the Javits Center in New York City, brings together Cloud Computing, Big Data, Internet of Things, DevOps, Containers, Microservices and WebRTC to one location.

The volume of transactions running through websites and mobile apps make customer-facing applications crucial to online businesses. If these applications perform well for their users, they generate revenue for the business. If they don't, they affect the credibility of the business, which in turn affects the overall revenue. It is therefore imperative that businesses understand how well their revenue-critical applications are behaving for their end users.

Jumping on the Agile bandwagon might help, but only if done right. What makes a good Agile project and what makes a bad one?
The move to Agile in the last decade has resulted in projects that finish faster, produce better software, and come in under budget.

What is inner source? I spoke about it during my webinar on Tuesday, Nov. 8, but here's a review.
At its most fundamental level, inner source is about replicating successful work practices of the open-source world to commercial software projects.
There are numerous examples of open source software making big splashes in the commercial space - Linux, Firefox, Apache - and inner source takes many of the lessons learned from these massively successful projects and shows you how you can apply some...
As a long time Java developer, I've always depended on the Maven build process to automatically publish my artifacts to a Nexus Repository Manager. This automated process was made possible thanks to some very useful plugins - specifically, the Maven plugin for Nexus staging and the Maven Deploy plugin. Both made publishing of artifacts to Nexus Repository Managers remarkably simple as the final step of a Maven build.
Cloud technologies have been gaining traction for some time now. Increases in connectivity throughout the computing world with the creation of more and more connected devices, including mobile and IoT technologies, as well as more and more connected applications on those devices, means cloud computing adoption is ever-increasing. Expectations regarding an application’s availability are high, and solutions continue to emerge to increase availability and make scaling applications easier when a use...
In many organizations governance is still practiced by phase or stage gate peer review, and Agile projects are forced to accommodate, which leads to WaterScrumFall or worse. But governance criteria and policies are often very weak anyway, out of date or non-existent. Consequently governance is frequently a matter of opinion and experience, highly dependent upon the experience of individual reviewers. As we all know, a basic principle of Agile methods is delegation of responsibility, and ideally ...
At its core DevOps is all about collaboration. The lines of communication must be opened and it takes some effort to ensure that they stay that way. It’s easy to pay lip service to trends and talk about implementing new methodologies, but without action, real benefits cannot be realized. Success requires planning, advocates empowered to effect change, and, of course, the right tooling.
To bring about a cultural shift it’s important to share challenges. In simple terms, ensuring that everyone k...
In case you haven’t heard, the new hotness in app architectures is serverless. Mainly restricted to cloud environments (Amazon Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, Microsoft Azure Functions) the general concept is that you don’t have to worry about anything but the small snippets of code (functions) you write to do something when something happens. That’s an event-driven model, by the way, that should be very familiar to anyone who has taken advantage of a programmable proxy to do app or API routing ...
The general concepts of DevOps have played a central role advancing the modern software delivery industry. With the library of DevOps best practices, tips and guides expanding quickly, it can be difficult to track down the best and most accurate resources and information. In order to help the software development community, and to further our own learning, we reached out to leading industry analysts and asked them about an increasingly popular tenet of a DevOps transformation: collaboration.
I’ve been reading up on APIs cause, coolness. And in particular I really enjoyed reading Best Practices for Designing a Pragmatic RESTful API because it had a lot of really good information and advice.
And then I got to the part about compressing your APIs.
Before we go too far let me first say I’m not saying you shouldn’t compress your API or app responses. You probably should. What I am saying is that where you compress data and when are important considerations. 
With emerging ideas, innovation, and talents, the lines between DevOps, release engineering, and even security are rapidly blurring. I invite you to sit down for a moment with Principle Consultant, J. Paul Reed, and listen to his take on what the intersection between these once individualized fields entails, and may even foreshadow. 
It was a Monday. I was reading the Internet. Okay, I was skimming feeds. Anyway, I happened across a title that intrigued me, “Stateful Apps and Containers: Squaring the Circle.” It had all the right buzzwords (containers) and mentioned state, a topic near and dear to this application networking-oriented gal, so I happily clicked on through.
Turns out that Stateful Apps are not Stateful Apps. Seriously. 
“Being able to take needless work out of the system is more important than being able to put more work into the system.” This is one of my favorite quotes from Gene Kim’s book, The Phoenix Project, and it plays directly into why we're announcing the DevOps Express initiative today.

All clouds are not equal. To succeed in a DevOps context, organizations should plan to develop/deploy apps across a choice of on-premise and public clouds simultaneously depending on the business needs. This is where the concept of the Lean Cloud comes in - resting on the idea that you often need to relocate your app modules over their life cycles for both innovation and operational efficiency in the cloud.
