Containing your microservice sprawl

This document provides an overview of cloud native concepts including: - Cloud native is defined as applications optimized for modern distributed systems capable of scaling to thousands of nodes. - The pillars of cloud native include devops, continuous delivery, microservices, and containers. - Common use cases for cloud native include development, operations, legacy application refactoring, migration to cloud, and building new microservice applications. - While cloud native adoption is growing, challenges include complexity, cultural changes, lack of training, security concerns, and monitoring difficulties.

This document discusses democratizing data and including it as part of the DevOps toolchain. It argues that data should be made available as a service and provisioned in a secure and compliant manner to empower developers. The document recommends using a DataOps approach and platform like Delphix to virtualize data from various sources and provision production-like test data for developers in an automated way. This helps overcome issues like long test data provisioning times and lack of access to production data, improving the delivery pipeline. Case studies of insurance and banking clients adopting this approach are also presented.

How do you grapple with a legacy portfolio? What strategies do you employ to get an application to cloud native? How do you grapple with a legacy portfolio? What strategies do you employ to get an application to cloud native? This talk will cover tools, process and techniques for decomposing monolithic applications to Cloud Native applications running on Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF). The webinar will build on ideas from seminal works in this area: Working Effectively With Legacy Code and The Mikado Method. We will begin with an overview of the technology constraints of porting existing applications to the cloud, sharing approaches to migrate applications to PCF. Architects & Developers will come away from this webinar with prescriptive replatforming and decomposition techniques. These techniques offer a scientific approach for an application migration funnel and how to implement patterns like Anti-Corruption Layer, Strangler, Backends For Frontend, Seams etc., plus recipes and tools to refactor and replatform enterprise apps to the cloud. Go beyond the 12 factors and see WHY Cloud Foundry is the best place to run any app - cloud native or non-cloud native.

The ability to deliver software is no longer a differentiator. In fact, it is a basic requirement for survival. Companies that embrace cloud native patterns of software delivery will survive; companies that don’t - will not. In this webinar, we: Look at the common patterns that distinguish cloud native companies and the architectures that they employ. Discover that an opinionated platform, one that stretches from the infrastructure all the way to the application framework, rather than ad-hoc automation, is an essential component to an enterprise's cloud native journey. Show that the combination of Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Spring is the complete cloud native platform. To watch the replay, visit https://pivotal.io/platform/webinar/the-cloud-native-journey

VMware is introducing new platforms to better support cloud-native applications, including containers. The Photon Platform is a lightweight, API-driven control plane optimized for massive scale container deployments. It includes Photon OS, a lightweight Linux distribution for containers. vSphere Integrated Containers allows running containers alongside VMs on vSphere infrastructure for a unified hybrid approach. Both aim to provide the portability and agility of containers while leveraging VMware's management capabilities.

This document discusses building cloud native applications. It defines cloud native applications as having services that are published and consumed via web services, can handle failures, are designed for horizontal scalability, use asynchronous processing, and have a stateless model. It then provides an example of a social feed application, outlines its functional and non-functional requirements, and describes how to architect it using patterns like loose coupling, polyglot persistence, fault tolerance, and decoupling services. The key is to design for scalability, failures, and minimize human intervention through a DevOps approach.

This document discusses Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), which is Google's approach to service management. It outlines the key tenets of SRE, which include ensuring a durable focus on engineering, pursuing maximum change velocity without violating service-level objectives, monitoring, emergency response, change management, demand forecasting and capacity planning, provisioning, and efficiency and performance. The document also discusses best practices for incident management in SRE and how DevOps and SRE can be applied in the enterprise.

David Benedict - Member of Technical Staff, VMware Cornelia Davis - Platform Engineer, Cloud Foundry, Pivotal Vipul Shah - Director of Product Management, VMware vCloud Automation Center provides powerful capabilities for policy-based orchestration of complex infrastructure and application deployments. A Platform as a Service (PaaS) such as Pivotal CF, built on the open-source Cloud Foundry, presents a set of abstractions and capabilities that focus on the application implementation and the run-time services it will leverage. The value of a PaaS installation is equally driven by the set of application-centric capabilities provided, such as performance monitoring or logging, and by the set of services that can easily be integrated into an application; exposing the offerings in the vCloud Automation Center services catalog for leverage by apps deployed into Pivotal CF allows an enterprise faster time to value. And a vCloud Automation Center user can model system deployments, automating infrastructure provisioning and software deployments; this modeling is equally valuable even when the targets of the orchestrations are the PaaS abstractions of applications and services. These products are very complementary and we’ll show you how. Understand how the combined vCloud Automation Center / Pivotal CF solutions provide the basis for a comprehensive PaaS solution. See a demo of and roadmap for the integrated solution. Learn how to use vCloud Automation Center to model applications for deployment into Pivotal CF and how to draw vCloud Automation Center services into Pivotal CF. After a brief overview of both products, we will describe the capabilities and derived value of the joint solution that will have early access availability at the time of the conference.

The document discusses different approaches to Platform as a Service (PaaS) and proposes building a PaaS on OpenStack to provide more control without complexity. It describes existing PaaS offerings like Google App Engine, Heroku, and Amazon Elastic Beanstalk that emphasize simplicity over control. The proposed OpenStack-based PaaS would use GigaSpaces technology to offer deployment, management, high availability, scalability, multi-tenancy, and monitoring capabilities while allowing flexibility to choose operating systems, middleware stacks, and other configuration options. It demonstrates deploying and managing a Cassandra service and discusses the current status of integrating GigaSpaces with OpenStack.

As we shift from monolithic software development practices to microservices, our well-designed CD pipeline will need to change. Microservices are small functions, deployed independently and linked via APIs at run-time. While these differences seem minor, they actually have a large impact on your overall CD structure. Think hundreds of workflows, small of any builds and the loss of a monolithic 'application.' Join Tracy Ragan, CEO of DeployHub and Brendan O'Leary, Developer Evangelist at GitLab, to learn more. It's never too early to start the conversation.

Cloud computing

IT organizations can be benefitted from a microservices approach to application development with more agile and accelerated time to market. However, there is a catch in order to break an app into fine-grained services.

In a world where software has become the key differentiator, enterprises are forced to transform the way they build, ship and run software in order to stay in the game. Adopting a microservices architecture enables organisations to not only become more agile but also to cut costs and increase stability.
