Ensuring High-Availability for Hybrid Cloud-Based Apps
The dynamic nature of the cloud means that change is a constant when it comes
to modern cloud-based infrastructure. Delivering modern applications to end
users, therefore, is a constantly shifting challenge. Delivery automation
helps IT Ops teams ensure that apps are providing an optimal end user
experience over hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud environments, no matter what the
current state of the infrastructure is. To employ a delivery automation
strategy that reflects your business rules, making real-time decisions based
on a combination of real user monitoring, synthetic testing, APM, NGINX /
local load balancers, and other data sources, is critical.
In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Simon Jones, Evangelist and head of
marketing for Cedexis, will show you how easy it can be to leverage these
disparate data sourc... (more)
Waterfall Still Going Strong - But Is It Time for a Hybrid Approach?
The nature of the technology business is forward-thinking. It focuses on the
future and what's coming next. Innovations and creativity in our world of
software development strive to improve the status quo and increase customer
satisfaction through speed and increased connectivity.
Yet, while it's exciting to see enterprises embrace new ways of thinking and
advance their processes with cutting edge technology, it rarely happens
rapidly or even simultaneously across all industries.
For most organizations, the adoption of new technologies is a slow process
and the larger they are and the longer they've been around, the more time it
takes to make significant changes.
What does this mean for the advancement of the software development industry?
It means that solution providers need to assess not only wher... (more)

Continuous Deployment for Docker: Lessons Learned from Rolling Out a Real
Live Service
Most companies are adopting or evaluating container technology - Docker in
particular - to speed up application deployment, drive down cost, ease
management and make application delivery more flexible overall.
As with most new architectures, this dream takes a lot of work to become a
reality. Even when you do get your application componentized enough and
packaged properly, there are still challenges for DevOps teams to making the
shift to continuous delivery and achieving that reduction in cost and
increase in speed.

Everything as a Service
By Dawn Parzych
Whenever I write about the cloud, I tend to break it down into three
categories: software as a service (SaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS),
and platform as a service (PaaS).
As I was working on a cloud performance management ebook, a coworker
suggested that I also include function as a service (FaaS) and containers as
a service (CaaS) in the definitions. I’ll admit, I had never heard of these
categories so after these suggestions were made, I went to do some research.
SaaS was one of the first cloud solutions to hit the market. It provides the
ability to consume information through a browser or API. IT teams don’t
have to manage applications, hardware, security, or storage; everything is
managed by the vendor. Users subscribe to a SaaS service on a recurring basis
and can easily scale. The uses of SaaS include business p... (more)

@DevOpsSummit Stories By Elizabeth White  Is advanced scheduling in Kubernetes achievable?
Yes, however, how do you properly accommodate every real-life scenario that a Kubernetes user might encounter?
How do you leverage advanced scheduling techniques to shape and describe each scenario in easy-to-use rules and configurations?
In his session at @DevOpsSummit at 21st Cloud Expo, Oleg Chunikhin, CTO at Kublr, will answer these questions and demonstrate techniques for implementing advanced scheduling. For example, using spot instances and cost-effective resources on AWS, coupled with the ability to deliver a minimum set of functionalities that cover the majority of needs – without configuration complexity.

Oct. 2, 2017 12:30 PM EDT Reads: 1,362 | By Elizabeth White  Microsoft Azure Container Services can be used for container deployment in a variety of ways including support for Orchestrators like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm and Mesos. However, the abstraction for app development that support application self-healing, scaling and so on may not be at the right level. Helm and Draft makes this a lot easier.
In this primarily demo-driven session at @DevOpsSummit at 21st Cloud Expo, Raghavan "Rags" Srinivas, a Cloud Solutions Architect/Evangelist at Microsoft, will cover Docker Swarm and Kubernetes deployments on Azure with some simple examples. He will look at Helm and Draft and how they can simplify app development significantly, like app scaling, rollback, etc. Helm is a tool that streamlines installing and managing Kubernetes applications, like the apt/yum/homebrew for Kubernetes. Draft works with pre-provided charts to deploy the apps via Helm.
