NuoDB: Database considerations for the hybrid cloud

Advancements in application architectures, development processes, and storage have enabled organizations to take advantage of cloud benefits such as agility, elasticity, and scale-out across most layers of the infrastructure stack. But one key element - the database tier - has remained stubbornly difficult to modernize. Often, as organizations move toward container and cloud-based environments, they end up leaving their database, their SQL skillsets, expectations of transactional consistency, and sometimes even their precious data behind. To address this problem, a new class of database - the elastic SQL database - has emerged. These solutions combine the ACID guarantees and SQL interface on which applications rely, while also allowing dynamic capacity management, continuous availability, multi-datacenter operation, and radical operational simplicity. Join us to learn what makes an elastic SQL database an ideal solution for modern hybrid cloud applications. We'll demonstrate how you can take advantage of this technology to optimize your application for fast transactional responsiveness, continuous availability, and full-active database utilization, even across multiple clouds, data centers, or hybrid environments.Ariff Kassam, Vice president of Product, NuoDBChristina Wong, Director of Product Marketing, NuoDB

Ceph as Monash University's research data engine

In 2015 Monash University built the southern hemisphere's largest (known) Ceph cluster containing 5PB of raw storage across 40 Dell servers with 1100 OSDs. Today that cluster is at almost 7PB, and services a wide variety of research workloads from well over 1000 users across Monash's research intensive Clayton precinct. Prior to this large deployment we cut our teeth on Ceph on its home-turf - as block storage for OpenStack Cinder within Monash2019s node of the Nectar Research Cloud (a federation of distributed OpenStack cells) - that was in 2013 and since then we2019ve seen Ceph2019s popularity and community grow, with the first APAC Ceph Day hosted at Monash in late 2015. At Monash Red Hat Ceph Storage replaces legacy SAN storage for research computing, servicing use-cases from desktop CIFS file-shares to instrument data-capture and management, via HPC cluster home-directories and software libraries. The wide-variety of use-cases in the research space are what attracted us to Ceph in the first place - a storage unicorn that could service block, object and file workloads was a bandwagon we wanted to be on! Furthermore, the inherent difficulty in predicting the capacity and performance needs meant that a software-defined approach with no vendor lock-in was a key requirement for controlling costs and ensuring virtually unlimited scalability. In this talk we'll cover the high-level business and strategic challenges that led us to this solution and discuss how with first Inktank, then Red Hat2019s support we have tackled the challenges of architecting, deploying, and operating a cluster of this size (spoiler: it isn't that hard). We'll dive into some of the issues and pitfalls we've faced along the way and talk about some of the key use-cases and scientific data workflows that this infrastructure supports, for example, data capture, management and sharing from various microscopes across several facilities and platforms. To wrap up we'll look at our current progress in rolling out CephFS for production use-cases and detail how we managed to keep the whole thing in-service whilst it was physically moved to a new data-centre - this relocation is being planned now and will be complete by the time of the summit, so come along to find out whether there was a happy ending!

Creating and using source-to-image builders for OpenShift

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform uses source-to-image (S2I) to build and deploy applications from source code. S2I builder images take your source code as input, runs the build, converts your application source into a container image, stores it into a container registry, and then deploys it onto the platform to run. Since the containers are built on the platform itself, you have control over build steps to significantly reduce the chances of malicious processes running in the containers. In this lab, we'll teach you to create your own S2I builder images that run on OpenShift. This is an advanced 00a0lab that requires prior experience with OpenShift.

Distributed CI: A collaborative continuous integration platform

Testing a single piece of software is a proven practice - there's an extended ecosystem to ensure that a piece of software does what it's supposed to do in its sandbox. Testing a set of software components - a distribution - that are supposed to work together, and can be configured in a myriad of different ways, is something else. What every team wants when hitting their project's release button is a stable release that's been tested for all possible permutations and that doesn't break their setup. Enter: Distributed Continuous Integration (DCI). The more users, partners, and customers there are, the more configurations are tested, and the stronger the product stability gets. In this session, you'll learn about the elements of DCI, and how it's been used to provide feedback for a project as complex as OpenStack. We'll also look at how partners and customers are using DCI for completely different architectures and deployment use cases.

Demystifying the Costs of Enterprise Mobility

As organizations mature in their approach to mobile strategy, more emphasis on calculating ROI, business value, and the cost of mobility emerges. Not to be confused with traditional monolithic enterprise application projects, mobile applications are highly iterative in their development and are more acutely focused on addressing a very targeted use case with a strong demand for faster time to market. Due to the transformative potential of mobility, the value of an app can often be intangible or difficult to quantify upfront and often cost factors are over-simplified in terms of developer time and effort. While ROI is difficult to calculate, reasonable estimates are possible. This presentation highlights:2022Mobile: Disrupting technology, business and ROI measurement2022Beyond UI: A breakdown of the true costs of mobility2022Mobile app development: When a Mobile app development platform makes sense2022Example use case scenario and cost breakdown2022Summary: ROI is more than just mob

Ten layers of container security

In this session, we'll identify the 10 most common layers in a typical container deployment, and the best ways to build security into each layer. These layers include: 1) container host: Multi-tenancy at the container layer, 2) content security container registries, and secure access to container images, 3) build process controlling what can be deployed with a cluster container platform authentication and authorization, 4) networking isolation, 5) attached storage API management, 6) endpoint security, 7) SSO roles, 8) access management in a cluster federation. Increasingly complicated applications and demands for faster development are putting even more pressure on infrastructure, IT teams, and processes. It's more important than ever to have the right technologies in place. Containers deliver00a0applications faster and scale them more rapidly. The advantages are numerous but can only be realized if the containers and their deployment include strong security. We'll dive into how to manage these security layers for yourself, or deploy a container platform that includes built-in security features. We'll use Red Hat00a0OpenShift Container Platform to illustrate how to deliver continuous security for containers.

Red Hat Unified Infrastructure - software defined remote office ops

When it comes to remote facilities - be they retail stores, drilling rigs, or even a number of military use cases - IT professionals are challenged with requirements for which hyperconverged (HCI) has emerged a star. Operational efficiency has never been merely a nice-to-have goal, but with these remote operations in particular the need has become increasingly acute. Eliminating a discrete storage tier emerges as a core benefit, considerably reducing footprint and many extraneous storage management headaches. With RHUI, additional big-picture benefits can be realized through the management integrations across the broader Red Hat software defined infrastructure stack.

In this session, see how we used a fully dynamic, rules-based web application to quickly create and publish a native, secure mobile survey application. We'll show how straightforward rules can create complex but secure interactions in the app, and how processes in JBoss BPM Suite can provide some order. We2019ll demonstrate how to manage application programming interface (API) communication between devices and these JBoss products using Red Hat 3scale API Management Platform and single sign-on (SSO) to authenticate, authorize, and report on API calls based on preconfigured policies, as well as how 3Scale Analytics shows a wealth of information across selectable time periods.

How to craft a successful API strategy

APIs are powerful but, for many teams, very new. A strategy for APIs is complex, because it needs to cover many areas. Definition and execution of an API strategy involves many roles and teams, and not just tech anymore. Many teams don't know how to articulate the benefits of APIs to craft an API strategy. In this session, we'll give a general intro to "the API economy,"00a0and winning API strategies in that economy. We'll introduce several models, tools, practical checklists, and discuss concrete API program do's and don'ts. Topics that we'll cover include business drivers for APIs and API management, API strategy models and methodology, case study examples from actual teams, best practices of successful API teams, and practical checklists. The session will be a mix of presentations, discussions, and hands-on activities.

Getting more from open source2014process and culture

As well as implementing open source products and collaborating with open source, organizations increasingly want to harness the power of open source in their organizations. In this session, we'll discuss some key enterprise activities and approaches and provide some specific examples used by Red Hat Consulting. This includes communities of practice (CoP), inner sourcing, and developing policies and best practice for open source adoption. These approaches will be backed up with specific examples and their results, and we'll look at outline strategies for organizations.

The art of blameless retrospectives

Retrospectives are not just about making you feel bad for missing your commitments, pointing fingers at your colleagues, and hearing your more talkative team members go on and on. They are supposed to help your team learn how to nimbly respond to failure and empower you to change the things that are not working for you. However, older management styles have helped us learn and perfect the arts of finger-pointing, competition, and siloism as methods of achieving success in the workplace. This talk is for anyone who participates in retrospectives, doesn2019t always feel they are useful, and wants to learn a better way to accomplish the intended goal.

GPUs: Using HMM to blur the lines between CPU and GPU programming

HMM (Heteregeneous Memory Management) is the name of an upcoming Linux kernel patchset, authored by Red Hat's Jerome Glisse. The patchset enables graphics processing unit (GPU) programmers (CUDA programmers, for example) to write code that treats "a pointer as a pointer": the same pointer values can be used in both central processing unit (CPU) and GPU code. This significantly simplifies both writing new CUDA programs00a0and porting older C/C++ (or even Fortran) programs to use GPU acceleration. In other words, malloc(3) can be called to allocate a buffer on the CPU, and that buffer's address can be passed to a CUDA kernel that runs on the GPU. HMM migrates the pages automatically. This session will cover the improved programming model,00a0some bandwidth and tuning considerations,00a0and possibly kernel implementation details (upon request, if time allows).

NuoDB: Database considerations for the hybrid cloud
NuoDB: Database considerations for the hybrid cloud (15:00 - 15:20)

About the session

Advancements in application architectures, development processes, and storage have enabled organizations to take advantage of cloud benefits such as agility, elasticity, and scale-out across most layers of the infrastructure stack. But one key element - the database tier - has remained stubbornly difficult to modernize. Often, as organizations move toward container and cloud-based environments, they end up leaving their database, their SQL skillsets, expectations of transactional consistency, and sometimes even their precious data behind. To address this problem, a new class of database - the elastic SQL database - has emerged. These solutions combine the ACID guarantees and SQL interface on which applications rely, while also allowing dynamic capacity management, continuous availability, multi-datacenter operation, and radical operational simplicity. Join us to learn what makes an elastic SQL database an ideal solution for modern hybrid cloud applications. We'll demonstrate how you can take advantage of this technology to optimize your application for fast transactional responsiveness, continuous availability, and full-active database utilization, even across multiple clouds, data centers, or hybrid environments.Ariff Kassam, Vice president of Product, NuoDBChristina Wong, Director of Product Marketing, NuoDB

Dynatrace: Monitoring OpenStack? Piece of cake! (17:15 - 17:35)

About the session

Many companies leverage the advantages of having a private cloud running on OpenStack: fewer costs, more control, no vendor lock-in. However, they also need to take care of operations and maintenance. OpenStack monitoring and troubleshooting are nontrivial tasks and require time, knowledge, and experience. Hundreds of log files are written by numerous services with several configuration files to countless virtual and physical machines - the possibilities for errors seem endless. Manual root cause analysis is like looking for the needle in the haystack. We're going to look at common problems in OpenStack environments, analyze their root cause, and discuss options for effective and efficient operations and troubleshooting.Dirk Wallerstorfer, Technology lead, OpenStack, Dy

Hyper-converged OpenStack and Ceph
Hyper-converged OpenStack and Ceph (11:30 - 12:15)

About the session

The composability feature, introduced in Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10 director, enables Red Hat OpenStack Platform and Red Hat Ceph Storage deployments to run both Ceph object storage device (OSD) and Nova compute services on the same server. This is known as hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI). HCI deployments appeal to telco customers interested in putting dense low footprint OpenStack clusters on the edge of their network for network functions virtualization (NFV) applications. How do these systems handle NFV workloads? How should they be tuned, and how should director be used to automate such deployments? In this session, we'll answer these questions and share workload testing results.

It2019s all about the process: How Red Hat IT is using JBoss BPM Suite (11:30 - 12:15)

About the session

Starting a new job can be frustrating: you wait to get your new computer, telephone, and the access to company systems that you need in order to be productive. Outdated scripts and error prone manual processes slow the onboarding process and waste time and money while also giving the new employee a poor first impression of the company. As enterprises evolve over time and attempt to meet ever-increasing demands, these growing pains are all too common. How does Red Hat manage its growth, along with 100+ new new hires each month? Join us to learn how Red Hat IT is leveraging the power of JBoss BPM Suite to propel Red Hat into the future as it strives to meet hiring goals and introduces productive new hires into the company. In this session, we will explore the real life case study of how Red Hat leverages JBoss BPM Suite to streamline 10 years worth of legacy ad-hoc human resource systems, by using a flexible and extensible process-oriented framework to better automate, optimize, and manage requests for access to company tools and resources. Attendees will hear some of Red Hat2019s 201clessons learned201d along with insights into best practices when leveraging BPM in their enterprise. Our team will also share historical metrics that are part of the Red Hat IT new hire processes. Outline: * Common onboarding issues and frustrations * What role can JBoss BPM Suite play? * Practical approaches to large scale integrations *Defining the boundary between process and implementation * Keeping the lights on - resilient infrastructure * Smart approaches to integrating with external systems * Playing nice with other workflow management tools *Keeping track of your processes * BPM - a developer's perspective * Code management * Deployment strategies * Working with the product engineers * Who benefits?

About the session

Innovation isn't just about00a0how fast a company can release a new product or service, but also how easy it is to try, produce, evaluate, and iterate upon new concepts. To achieve these fast and automated development cycles, companies are building software using microservice architectures, mobile-first or mobile-only approaches,00a0and DevOps practices2014all of which can be streamlined with Red Hat's portfolio of application platforms. These new technologies and concepts must coexist with existing ones in a bimodal approach, which means increasing infrastructure complexity00a0that challenge IT. Red Hat00a0Management products00a0address00a0these challenges by00a0simplifying00a0operationals00a0in terms of overall hybrid infrastructure insight, control, and automation.The goal of this demonstration is to give00a0a practical example of00a0modern application development approaches and open hybrid cloud management, as well as how they help companies00a0become00a0truely digital businesses2014ones in which lines-of-business00a0and IT are agile, productive, and efficient00a0while bringing innovation to the market.

Love containers. Love DevOps. Love OpenShift. Need business case. (15:30 - 16:15)

About the session

Love the idea of containers, a DevOps culture, and how OpenShift accelerates application delivery while also cutting demand on infrastructure and abstracting it away from you? You get it, but will the business? In this session, you'll see actual customer examples of building solid business cases that define the benefits, costs, and how Red Hat OpenShift helps deliver a powerful return on investment (ROI). In this webinar, we'll equip you with the ability to plan an OpenShift project and create a watertight business case that includes costs (e.g., infrastructure, organizational change for a DevOps culture, containers for application delivery) and benefits (e.g., cost-savings, staff efficiency, agility).

Wipro Limited: What does it mean to be an open source first company?
Wipro Limited: What does it mean to be an open source first company? (17:45 - 18:05)

About the session

As open source continues to dominate the software landscape, more and more organizations are realizing the technical, financial, strategic and organizational benefits and designating themselves as Open Source First companies. Open Source First is a new term to loosely describe companies that chose to consider open source solutions before proprietary software alternatives. But, it can also mean the adoption of the open source software development model embodying collaboration, transparency and meritocracy, sometimes known as inner source. Furthermore, organizations calling themselves Open Source First typically will be active community contributors and even open source their own software. This session will look at real world scenarios of why companies are becoming open source first, what exactly does it mean, what are the actual benefits of this approach and the implementation and operational challenges.Andrew Aitken, General manager & global open source practice leader, Wipro Lim

The ease of the Camel REST DSL Mary Cochran, Red Hat00a0REST services are becoming an increasingly popular way of connecting devices to the cloud and systems to each other. From Red Hat JBoss Fuse 6.2 on, support for the Camel REST DSL is available. The REST DSL allows for the creation of REST services2014using either the Restlet, Servlet, Jetty, or a variety of other components for implementation2014more quickly and easily than ever. The REST DSL removes the dependency that xcfrs has on CXF. Support for this new component reduces complexity while increasing the speed of development. In this session, we'll lay out the simplicity and elegance with which Camel REST DSL facilitates rapid development of microservices and addresses complex integration needs.Data protection with Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization, Red Hat JBoss Fuse, Red Hat JBoss BRMS, and Red Hat StorageLucy Kerner, Red HatCan you identify where all of your data is, where it all came from, how it is transported, what application has access to each data set, and what each application does with that data? Are you protecting your data with uniform access control? How do you respond to changing compliance requirements, starting with analyzing the inventory of data stores, access, and application usage? And finally, can you recover from discovering incorrect or inappropriate access, by quickly applying new access control policies or changing what applications do with that data? In this session, learn how a combination of JBoss Data Virtualization, JBoss Fuse, JBoss BRMS, and Red Hat Storage can help you with data protection and help answer these questions.HA deployments with JBoss FuseJosh Reagan, Red HatHigh-availability is a common requirement for applications in the enterprise.

About the session

Compliance is often the first question for anyone implementing Red Hat OpenShift but also the hardest to answer. An even harder question to answer is how to implement identity management compliance for OpenShift, but the question is really about bridging the gap between people who write compliance requirements, people who audit those requirements, and people who implement the technology.In this session, targeted to security specialists responsible for reviewing OpenShift deployments and those trying to build a compliant solution with OpenShift, I2019ll provide a map to help explain what compliance really means, how OpenShift is deployed, and how OpenShift technology is implemented to meet compliance requirements, including examples from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-53, NIST 800-63 and the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS), mapped to a technology implementation. This map will help auditors better understand the compliance of identity management in OpenShift.The content for this session is based on my blog post: tremolosecurity.com/openshift-compliance-and-identity-managem

Easily secure your front- and back-end applications with KeyCloak
Easily secure your front- and back-end applications with KeyCloak (16:30 - 17:15)

About the session

Security is crucial for any application, but implementation can be difficult and it is often neglected, poorly implemented, and intrusive in the code. But lately, security servers such as Auth0 have appeared that outsource and delegate all authentication and authorization aspects. One of the most promising solutions is KeyCloak, an open source, flexible solution that is easy to deploy and adapt in its own infrastructure. In this session, I2019ll use live coding to show how to deploy KeyCloak progressively and demonstrate all aspects of KeyCloak, including securing a Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) app, a Node.js microservice, an AngularJS web app, or even a mobile app. I2019ll show how to integrate social logins, enable Single Sign On (SSO), and how to bridge to existing identity providers, such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Microsoft Active Directory.

Deploying OpenShift at scale in a regulated industry
Deploying OpenShift at scale in a regulated industry (15:30 - 16:15)

About the session

Technology is rapidly driving the transformation of the financial services sector. It has the potential to increase competitiveness, innovation and efficiency, creating real benefits for both consumers and firms, you may have heard people referring to "Fintech" as an umbrella term for this disruption in Financial Technology. However, new technology also has the potential to increase the risk to a bank if not adopted without the appropriate controls, in fact there are a number of organisations such as the UK Finanical Conduct Authority and the US Federal Reserve who protect consumers and markets from this via regulations. In this talk by Bill Dettelback from Deutsche Bank supported by Chris Milsted from Redhat, we will explore various architectural aspects of a large OpenShift deployment into the regulated banking industry which were necessary to meet these standards. This included things like separate OpenShift clusters, Software Defined Lifecycles and Image Promotion between environments are just some example of some of the challenges faced. By attending this talk you will find out about how OpenShift can be deployed into regulated industries such as financial services and will see how we solved some of the challenges faced along the way.

Demystifying the Costs of Enterprise Mobility
Demystifying the Costs of Enterprise Mobility (11:30 - 12:15)

About the session

As organizations mature in their approach to mobile strategy, more emphasis on calculating ROI, business value, and the cost of mobility emerges. Not to be confused with traditional monolithic enterprise application projects, mobile applications are highly iterative in their development and are more acutely focused on addressing a very targeted use case with a strong demand for faster time to market. Due to the transformative potential of mobility, the value of an app can often be intangible or difficult to quantify upfront and often cost factors are over-simplified in terms of developer time and effort. While ROI is difficult to calculate, reasonable estimates are possible. This presentation highlights:2022Mobile: Disrupting technology, business and ROI measurement2022Beyond UI: A breakdown of the true costs of mobility2022Mobile app development: When a Mobile app development platform makes sense2022Example use case scenario and cost breakdown2022Summary: ROI is more than just mob

End to End BPM: From process modeling to execution with Signavio and Red Hat
End to End BPM: From process modeling to execution with Signavio and Red Hat (15:30 - 16:15)

About the session

Aligning business requirements and IT can be a huge challenge, but it's key to any process improvement initiative. Signavio's intuitive BPM and Rules modeling tools engage business analysts in the creation and sharing of excellent, executable process and decision models. Once these high-quality models are built, Signavio's integration with the Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite takes center stage. Signavio software uses Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) + Decision Model and Notation (DMN), allowing models to be seamlessly interchanged between the modeling platform and JBoss execution environment. This makes collaboration between analysts and developers far easier than ever before.In this session, we will examine the integration between Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite and Signavio Process Editor in detail, showing a hypothetical process for evaluating a credit card application and determining on-boarding for any new customers. This includes checking out the decision model in DMN and related process models in BPMN, as well as an export to the JBoss BPM Suite for the models' execution. From process design to seamless execution, you'll see why Signavio and Red Hat are the perfect combination for all your business process needs.

Ten layers of container security (11:30 - 12:15)

About the session

In this session, we'll identify the 10 most common layers in a typical container deployment, and the best ways to build security into each layer. These layers include: 1) container host: Multi-tenancy at the container layer, 2) content security container registries, and secure access to container images, 3) build process controlling what can be deployed with a cluster container platform authentication and authorization, 4) networking isolation, 5) attached storage API management, 6) endpoint security, 7) SSO roles, 8) access management in a cluster federation. Increasingly complicated applications and demands for faster development are putting even more pressure on infrastructure, IT teams, and processes. It's more important than ever to have the right technologies in place. Containers deliver00a0applications faster and scale them more rapidly. The advantages are numerous but can only be realized if the containers and their deployment include strong security. We'll dive into how to manage these security layers for yourself, or deploy a container platform that includes built-in security features.

Ceph as Monash University's research data engine
Ceph as Monash University's research data engine (10:15 - 11:00)

About the session

In 2015 Monash University built the southern hemisphere's largest (known) Ceph cluster containing 5PB of raw storage across 40 Dell servers with 1100 OSDs. Today that cluster is at almost 7PB, and services a wide variety of research workloads from well over 1000 users across Monash's research intensive Clayton precinct. Prior to this large deployment we cut our teeth on Ceph on its home-turf - as block storage for OpenStack Cinder within Monash2019s node of the Nectar Research Cloud (a federation of distributed OpenStack cells) - that was in 2013 and since then we2019ve seen Ceph2019s popularity and community grow, with the first APAC Ceph Day hosted at Monash in late 2015. At Monash Red Hat Ceph Storage replaces legacy SAN storage for research computing, servicing use-cases from desktop CIFS file-shares to instrument data-capture and management, via HPC cluster home-directories and software libraries. The wide-variety of use-cases in the research space are what attracted us to Ceph in the first place - a storage unicorn that could service block, object and file workloads was a bandwagon we wanted to be on! Furthermore, the inherent difficulty in predicting the capacity and performance needs meant that a software-defined approach with no vendor lock-in was a key requirement for controlling costs and ensuring virtually unlimited scalability. In this talk we'll cover the high-level business and strategic challenges that led us to this solution and discuss how with first Inktank, then Red Hat2019s support we have tackled the challenges of architecting, deploying, and operating a cluster of this size (spoiler: it isn't that hard). We'll dive into some of the issues and pitfalls we've faced along the way and talk about some of the key use-cases and scientific data workflows that this infrastructure supports, for example, data capture, management and sharing from various microscopes across several facilities and platforms. To wrap up we'll look at our current progress in rolling out CephFS for production use-cases and detail how we managed to keep the whole thing in-service whilst it was physically moved to a new data-centre - this relocation is being planned now and will be complete by the time of the summit, so come along to find out whether there was a happy ending!

NVMe over Fabrics: High-performance SSDs networked over ethernet
NVMe over Fabrics: High-performance SSDs networked over ethernet (15:30 - 16:15)

About the session

There is a new very high performance SSD interfaced called NVMe over Fabrics now available to expand the capabilities of Red Hat networked storage solutions. It is an extension of the local NVMe SSD interface developed a few years ago driven by the need for a faster storage interface to SSDs. This was needed to allow applications to take advantage of the much higher performance of solid state vs. hard drives. NVMe over Fabrics, utilizes ultra-low latency RDMA technology to achieve data sharing across a network without sacrificing the local performance characteristics of NVMe SSDs. This session will explain the technology, what its capabilities are, where it is today, where it is going tomorrow and how to interface it into Red Hat solutions.

Distributed CI: A collaborative continuous integration platform
Distributed CI: A collaborative continuous integration platform (11:30 - 12:15)

About the session

Testing a single piece of software is a proven practice - there's an extended ecosystem to ensure that a piece of software does what it's supposed to do in its sandbox. Testing a set of software components - a distribution - that are supposed to work together, and can be configured in a myriad of different ways, is something else. What every team wants when hitting their project's release button is a stable release that's been tested for all possible permutations and that doesn't break their setup. Enter: Distributed Continuous Integration (DCI). The more users, partners, and customers there are, the more configurations are tested, and the stronger the product stability gets. In this session, you'll learn about the elements of DCI, and how it's been used to provide feedback for a project as complex as OpenStack. We'll also look at how partners and customers are using DCI for completely different architectures and deployment use cases.

Containers and the enterprise 2014 how do we accelerate adoption? (16:30 - 17:15)

About the session

There2019s nothing stopping many of the biggest software companies from turning to containers to deliver their software, but the industry is struggling with organic enterprise adoption. Right now, containers are seen as too-in-the-weeds tech-y, and enterprises don2019t always understand the benefits. However, container technology holds a solution to the problems many organizations struggle with when it comes to software delivery. In this session, we'll examine the great potential that container technology holds for enterprises providing new ways to00a0process inefficiencies, increase collaboration, reduce vendor lock-in,00a0and more. We'll also discuss how container technology needs to integrate with existing systems, such as enterprise security and identity access management (IAM), monitoring and alerting, and how it can significantly increase enterprise deployment cycles through deployment pipeline automation and integration.

Creating and using source-to-image builders for OpenShift (10:15 - 12:15)

About the session

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform uses source-to-image (S2I) to build and deploy applications from source code. S2I builder images take your source code as input, runs the build, converts your application source into a container image, stores it into a container registry, and then deploys it onto the platform to run. Since the containers are built on the platform itself, you have control over build steps to significantly reduce the chances of malicious processes running in the containers. In this lab, we'll teach you to create your own S2I builder images that run on OpenShift. This is an advanced 00a0lab that requires prior experience with OpenShift.

Organizations tried to solve this problem by bringing together metrics from various tools across the pipeline, but the lack of context made these metrics less optimal and, many times, resulted in creating silos of key metrics. However, there is a measuring and monitoring approach around Value Streams that is addressing the meaningful metrics gap. Come learn and see how one can leverage Value Streams to enable continuous monitoring and feedback across applications and services.Eric Robertson,00a0Vice president, DevOps Product Engineering & Management, CollabN

Mobile lightning talks (16:30 - 17:15)

About the session

Easily secure your mobile solutions with RHMAP and Red Hat SSOPresenters:Sebastien Blanc, Red HatSummers Pittman, Red HatAs a mobile developer, when you deal with security, you often have to dive into the details of bloated security specifications and APIs to solve issues like Single Sign Out (SSO), social login, OAuth2 and OpenID Connect integration. You want to be able to focus more on your core business, and for that purpose you use Red Hat Mobile Application Platform (RHMAP) on OpenShift. This presentation talks about various security issues your mobile applications and RESTful microservices will need to solve. On client side, we'll see the challenges to overcome from an hybrid app as well as a native app perspective: embedded web view versus external browser, URL schema for callback, local storage for tokens, refresh access tokens transparently...What about if you could delegate security intricacy to security expert? Security can be easy if you have the right tools! This is exactly what Red Hat Single Sign-On (SSO) on OpenShift is for. RH-SSO is an open source Identity and Access Management solution that can secure your applications and services with little to no code. If you think security topic is hard to tackle, join us! We'll make OAuth2 framework, OpenID Connect protocol, JWT (Json Web Token), and even encryption easy to understand. With some drawings, chatting and demos, tokens are fun and OpenID Connect will have no secret to you!00a0------------------RHMAP MBaaS Services and RESTful APIs (MongoDB and MySQL)Presenters:Chad Darby, Red HatHong Hua, Red HatIn this talk, we will demonstrate how to create an RHMAP MBaaS service that exposes a RESTful API for CRUDL. The first version of the MBaaS service will store data in a MongoDB database hosted on the RHMAP platform. In the second version of the app, we'll connect to an external MySQL database hosted in the Amazon cloud. During the development of the MBaaS service, we will test the RESTful API using a Postman test harness.------------------Artificial Intelligence Tools For Mobile DevelopmentPresenter:Juana Nakfour, Red HatArtificial Intelligence is a broad set of technologies getting immense traction and accelerated adoption rate on mobile devices. Predictive Analysis, Object Detection and Natural Language processing are the leading AI technologies making their way down to mobile devices and immersing in user experiences. Today, it is imperative that mobile apps have some element of AI to provide superior and seamless user experience.In this presentation, we will describe the current trends in AI tools for mobile devices. Specifically discussing the current big players in the field and their tools offerings. We will also cover trends in small startups pushing for innovative AI tools on mobile devices. The current trend of moving some AI processing from big clouds down to mobile chipsets for local processing will also be covered. After covering the high level trends we will dive down into current tools and sdk2019s available for native and hybrid mobile applications. Specifically in the areas of Natural Language processing and Object Detection/Tracking. At the end of the presentation we will describe how to integrate one of the Natural Language processing sdk2019s into our Red Hat Mobile Application templates. Describe the code steps and perform a live demo.

Reactive systems with Eclipse Vert.x and Red Hat OpenShift
Reactive systems with Eclipse Vert.x and Red Hat OpenShift (11:30 - 12:15)

About the session

Eclipse Vert.x is a toolkit to create reactive distributed and polyglot applications on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It takes the JVM to new levels of performance, yet has a small API. It lets you build scalable, microservice-based applications transparently distributed and packaged as a single jar file. This simplicity makes deploying and managing Vert.x applications on OpenShift a breeze. Upload your jar and Vert.x connects all your pods and services. That's not all, the application you're developing with Vert.x is "reactive": It's responsive, elastic, resilient, uses asynchronous message-passing saving resources, and handles a huge level of concurrency. How does that work on OpenShift?In this session, you'll see how the combination of Vert.x and OpenShift paves a new way to build and manage reactive systems. You'll see several examples and a demonstration of how Vert.x simplifies not only development, but thanks to OpenShift, the deployment and management of your distributed system. Everything you need will be covered in this session: service discovery, resilience pattern, rolling updates, monitoring, and metrics. This is a "slide-less" session consisting of pure, live coding.

About the session

When it comes to remote facilities - be they retail stores, drilling rigs, or even a number of military use cases - IT professionals are challenged with requirements for which hyperconverged (HCI) has emerged a star. Operational efficiency has never been merely a nice-to-have goal, but with these remote operations in particular the need has become increasingly acute. Eliminating a discrete storage tier emerges as a core benefit, considerably reducing footprint and many extraneous storage management headaches. With RHUI, additional big-picture benefits can be realized through the management integrations across the broader Red Hat software defined infrastructure stack.

Retrospectives are not just about making you feel bad for missing your commitments, pointing fingers at your colleagues, and hearing your more talkative team members go on and on. They are supposed to help your team learn how to nimbly respond to failure and empower you to change the things that are not working for you. However, older management styles have helped us learn and perfect the arts of finger-pointing, competition, and siloism as methods of achieving success in the workplace.

GPUs: Using HMM to blur the lines between CPU and GPU programming (16:30 - 17:15)

About the session

HMM (Heteregeneous Memory Management) is the name of an upcoming Linux kernel patchset, authored by Red Hat's Jerome Glisse. The patchset enables graphics processing unit (GPU) programmers (CUDA programmers, for example) to write code that treats "a pointer as a pointer": the same pointer values can be used in both central processing unit (CPU) and GPU code. This significantly simplifies both writing new CUDA programs00a0and porting older C/C++ (or even Fortran) programs to use GPU acceleration. In other words, malloc(3) can be called to allocate a buffer on the CPU, and that buffer's address can be passed to a CUDA kernel that runs on the GPU. HMM migrates the pages automatically. This session will cover the improved programming model,00a0some bandwidth and tuning considerations,00a0and possibly kernel implementation details (upon request, if time allows).

Decisions at a fast pace: scaling to multi-million transactions/second at Amadeus
Decisions at a fast pace: scaling to multi-million transactions/second at Amadeus (15:30 - 16:15)

About the session

At Amadeus, the BRMS is a key enabler for the customization and the configuration of our products2019 functionalities to answer the diversity of our customers2019 business requirements: Airline companies, Travel Agencies, Hotels, Airports, Rail companies. Amadeus C++ and Java application servers handle several million transactions per second. Knowing that each transaction performs several business rules evaluations, it is crucial that the rule engine framework is as efficient as possible with respect to the latency, CPU consumption, memory footprint, and scalability. As a middleware team, our responsibility is to offer the best possible rule engine solution that answers both our functional and non-functional requirements. We selected Red Hat BRMS/Drools and have worked on filling the gaps to make it fit Amadeus architecture, performance and operability needs; the key challenges being: integration in Amadeus C++ stack, under-millisecond response time, 0-outage rule updates. In this talk we2019ll present how, by leveraging on the collaboration between RedHat and Amadeus, we2019ve been able to fulfil these requirements and how we envisage to upstream this development to the BRMS community.

Hands on HACEP: Highly available and horizontally scalable complex event processing
Hands on HACEP: Highly available and horizontally scalable complex event processing (13:00 - 15:00)

About the session

Recognizing important patterns in data, as they occur in real time, is critical. With complex event processing (CEP), organizations can recognize, understand, and react to business events faster by processing large volumes of inbound data. This includes data from social networks, remote sensor readings, online-gaming player events, credit card transactions, and location data from delivery vehicles. Critical CEP workloads require solutions that tolerate the failure of one or more processing nodes, while easily scaling to handle growing data volumes. They must process a high volume, velocity, and variety of inbound data, infer the context, and take appropriate action in real time while adhering to stringent availability and scalability service level agreements. In this lab, you'll implement a simple rule-based, event-based application on a cluster of distributed nodes. You'll see your events and rules scale up and down thanks to HACEP, which is the combination of Red Hat JBoss BRMS superpowered with Red Hat JBoss Data Grid.

A practical introduction to container security (replay)
A practical introduction to container security (replay) (13:00 - 15:00)

About the session

ux containers provide convenient application packing and run-time isolation in multi-tenant environments. However, the security implications of running containerized applications is often taken for granted. For example, today it is very easy to pull Docker images from the internet and run them in the enterprise without examining their content and authenticity. In this lab, you'll complete a series of hands on exercises aimed at understanding the concepts, challenges and best practices associated with deploying containers in a secure fashion.
