Mark Burgess (@markburgess_osl) is a theoretical physicist, but in his
keynote at the 2016 All Day DevOps conference, he talked more about economics
and human interactives than physics. What does either have to do as the
keynote for a conference on DevOps?
Well, for a little more background, Mark Burgess is also the founder and
former CTO of CFEngine, a configuration management and automation framework,
and is the author of Promise Theory. While at CFEngine, Mark worked to apply
a theory of how the autonomous agents in software interact with each other.
Promise Theory was born.
Promise Theory sits counter to obligation theories. Obligation theories view
human interactions and behavior under the assumption that people (or agents,
in the case of software) choose behavior based on their obligation to follow
the rules. Agents are obligated to take a certain action. Pro... (more)

Serverless - The Next Major Shift in Cloud Computing
In 2014, Amazon announced a new form of compute called Lambda. We didn't know
it at the time, but this represented a fundamental shift in what we expect
from cloud computing. Now, all of the major cloud computing vendors want to
take part in this disruptive technology.

In his session at 20th Cloud Expo, Doug Vanderweide, an instructor at Linux
Academy, discussed why major players like AWS, Microsoft Azure, IBM Bluemix,
and Google Cloud Platform are all trying to sidestep VMs and containers with
heavy investments in serverless computing, when most of the industry has its
eyes on Docker and containers.

What Type of File System Are You Really Getting?
The cloud's massive success and the growing desire for Big Data analytics are
just two of the factors that are making traditional storage architectures
obsolete. Organizations cannot afford to scale bygone storage appliances.
Even if they could, the time it would take is unacceptable in the digital
world. Adding multiple servers could not accommodate storage demands, either.
Vertical storage architecture contains bottlenecks that slow performance to a
crawl.
Along with cloud and analytics, another technological advancement has emerged
in the data center: software-defined storage (SDS). Because SDS decouples the
programming that controls storage-related tasks from the physical storage
hardware, it dramatically reduces costs associated with hardware. Fewer,
less-expensive servers can be used to improve both capacity an... (more)
For most organizations, the move to hybrid cloud is now a question of when,
not if. Fully 82% of enterprises plan to have a hybrid cloud strategy this
year, according to Infoholic Research. The worldwide hybrid cloud computing
market is expected to grow about 34% annually over the next five years,
reaching $241.13 billion by 2022.
Companies are embracing hybrid cloud because of the many advantages it
offers compared to relying on a single provider for all of their cloud needs.
Hybrid offers balance and flexibility. It helps companies achieve a wide
array of business goals, including availability, reliability, security and
cost-efficiency.
Still, there are a number of challenges associated with hybrid cloud. Here
are four management issues that companies need to address to enjoy a
successful hybrid cloud implementation.

Keeping Pace with the Multi-Cloud Movement
A common misconception about the cloud is that one size fits all. Companies
expecting to run all of their operations using one cloud solution or service
must realize that doing so is akin to forcing the totality of their business
functionality into a straightjacket. Unlocking the full potential of the
cloud means embracing the multi-cloud future where businesses use their own
cloud, and/or clouds from different vendors, to support separate functions or
product groups. There is no single cloud solution ideal for all applications,
and some applications might not fit the cloud at all. For example, certain
applications have more stringent security or compliance requirements that
require a private cloud or traditional on-premises deployment. For the
foreseeable future, the majority of companies will maintain a hybrid cloud
env... (more)
How Infrastructure as Code Automates IT Operations in the Application
Delivery Lifecycle
As more technologies become software-defined, their adoption demands a
significant shift in thinking about how a business organizes its value
stream. This shift may be difficult, but it enables you to anticipate changes
and position your business to react when software-defined technologies
emerge.
Recently a new set of tools and practices has emerged to create and manage
environments. Known as Infrastructure as Code (IaC), it enables
infrastructure management through a software-defined layer.
Application Delivery: Getting It Right
All applications run inside what we call an "environment" - a stack of
hardware and software components built to support the application. This stack
includes: networking, storage, virtual machines, operating systems,

Jun. 24, 2017 04:45 AM EDT Reads: 355 | By Pat Romanski  Both SaaS vendors and SaaS buyers are going “all-in” to hyperscale IaaS platforms such as AWS, which is disrupting the SaaS value proposition. Why should the enterprise SaaS consumer pay for the SaaS service if their data is resident in adjacent AWS S3 buckets? If both SaaS sellers and buyers are using the same cloud tools, automation and pay-per-transaction model offered by IaaS platforms, then why not host the “shrink-wrapped” software in the customers’ cloud? Further, serverless computing, cl... Jun. 24, 2017 03:45 AM EDT Reads: 1,510 | By Liz McMillan  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.

The typical organization currently uses more than a dozen sanctioned cloud apps and will shift more than half of all workloads to the cloud by 2018. Such cloud investments have delivered measurable benefits. But they’ve also resulted in some unintended side-effects: complexity and risk. ... Jun. 24, 2017 01:30 AM EDT Reads: 1,418 | By Elizabeth White  It is ironic, but perhaps not unexpected, that many organizations who want the benefits of using an Agile approach to deliver software use a waterfall approach to adopting Agile practices: they form plans, they set milestones, and they measure progress by how many teams they have engaged.

Jun. 24, 2017 12:15 AM EDT Reads: 716 | By Elizabeth White  When growing capacity and power in the data center, the architectural trade-offs between server scale-up vs. scale-out continue to be debated. Both approaches are valid: scale-out adds multiple, smaller servers running in a distributed computing model, while scale-up adds fewer, more powerful servers that are capable of running larger workloads. It’s worth noting that there are additional, unique advantages that scale-up architectures offer. One big advantage is large memory and compute capacity...

IoT solutions exploit operational data generated by Internet-connected smart “things” for the purpose of gaining operational insight and producing “better outcomes” (for example, create new business models, eliminate unscheduled maintenance, etc.). The explosive proliferation of IoT solutions will result in an exponential growth in the volume of IoT data, precipitating significant Information Governance issues: who owns the IoT data, what are the rights/duties of IoT solutions adopters towards this data, how to deal with Data Residency and Data Privacy issues, how to manage the lifecycle of Io...
Companies have always been concerned that traditional enterprise software is slow and complex to install, often disrupting critical and time-sensitive operations during roll-out. With the growing need to integrate new digital technologies into the enterprise to transform business processes, this concern has become even more pressing. A 2016 Panorama Consulting Solutions study revealed that enterprise resource planning (ERP) projects took an average of 21 months to install, with 57 percent of these projects experiencing timeline overruns. A span of almost two years can be a long time when disr...
For a phrase that’s being thrown around a lot recently, what does “Digital Transformation” really mean? When someone says that they want to digitally transform their business, what does one really mean, why do they want to do it, and should they approach this “digital transformation” process? First off, let’s start with a definition. If we don’t know what we are trying to achieve, then how do we know how to get there? Or to quote the famous Greek philosopher Yogi Berra: “If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up someplace else.”
Tomorrow will be nothing like today. It may look and feel a lot like today – you’ll get up, have breakfast, exercise, go off to work, etc. But tomorrow will be nothing like today. Tomorrow there will be 600,000 new smartphone activations, 540,000 new computers sold, hundreds of thousands of new cloud computing credentials issued, hundreds more petabytes of data traveling through the Internet, thousands more miles driven by autonomous vehicles, millions of new words interpreted by Natural Language Understanding (NLU) systems, billions of new patterns learned by machines, and billions of new lin...
The Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved quite rapidly, especially if you consider how long it took for little packet-switching networks like ARPANET to morph into today’s nearly ubiquitous internet. Our nascent IoT ecosystem is already populated by billions of sensors and connected devices, hundreds of millions of servers, and thousands of hybrid clouds serving billions of people… all of them perpetually producing and/or consuming data in an explosion of information.
Amazon started as an online bookseller 20 years ago. Since then, it has evolved into a technology juggernaut that has disrupted multiple markets and industries and touches many aspects of our lives. It is a relentless technology and business model innovator driving disruption throughout numerous ecosystems. Amazon’s AWS revenues alone are approaching $16B a year making it one of the largest IT companies in the world. With dominant offerings in Cloud, IoT, eCommerce, Big Data, AI, Digital Assistants, Robotics, shipping logistics and other emerging technologies, developers and competitors ignore...
Multiple data types are pouring into IoT deployments. Data is coming in small packages as well as enormous files and data streams of many sizes. Widespread use of mobile devices adds to the total. In this power panel at @ThingsExpo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff, panelists looked at the tools and environments that are being put to use in IoT deployments, as well as the team skills a modern enterprise IT shop needs to keep things running, get a handle on all this data, and deliver the analytics that add value.
What's disruptive innovation, and why does it matter to leaders in the C-suite? It's how the savvy non-conformist will target market opportunities. How does this happen, when established companies seem to have the advantage? Creative software developers can quickly apply new technologies and digital business models to capture untapped demand.
Many organizations are associating data monetization with selling their data. But selling data is not a trivial task, especially for organizations whose primary business relies on its data. Organizations new to selling data need to be concerned with privacy and Personally Identifiable Information (PII), data quality and accuracy, data transmission reliability, pricing, packaging, marketing, sales, support, etc. Companies such as Nielsen, Experian and Acxiom are experts at selling data because that’s their business; they have built a business around gathering, aggregating, cleansing, aligning, ...

The dirty little secret, however, is that we are as unable to predict the future as you. None of us really knows what will happen next. The future is made up of an incredibly complex mixture of technologies, possibilities, and events that come together in ways that no one can truly predict.
The answer, therefore, is not to attempt to predict the future. But instead, to prepare for an uncertain future by building organizational capabilities that allow you to anticipate and rapidly pivot, respond and react to any change that the market may throw at you.
We build IoT infrastructure products - when you have to integrate different devices, different systems and cloud you have to build an application to do that but we eliminate the need to build an application. Our products can integrate any device, any system, any cloud regardless of protocol," explained Peter Jung, Chief Product Officer at Pulzze Systems, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at @ThingsExpo, held November 1-3, 2016, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA
