Slides: Introducing the new ClusterControl 1.2.10 for MySQL, MongoDB and Postgres

Entergy, a large utility company headquartered in New Orleans, LA has launched an initiative to modernize their application infrastructure. During the initial analysis, Entergy recognized the existing legacy infrastructure’s lack of compatibility with more recent operating systems would stand in the way of progress. As a result, containerization was fast-tracked as the solution that can help them with the various tenants of their strategy: hyperconvergence, SaaS (ServiceNow), and workload portability. Docker Enterprise proved to be the right solution to migrate roughly 850 legacy applications from Windows Server 2003 and 2008 to Windows Server 2016 quickly, securely and economically. Entergy IT has now delivered the ability for the business to run applications on-premise, in the cloud, and future-proofed the applications for migration to new versions of Windows Server. In this session, Entergy will talk about how they are modernizing their infrastructure to become more agile, secure, and enable workload portability.

This document summarizes the roles of servers in a Hadoop cluster, including manager, name nodes, edge nodes, and data nodes. It discusses hardware considerations for Hadoop cluster design like CPU to memory to disk ratios for different use cases. It also provides an overview of Dell's Hadoop solutions that integrate PowerEdge servers, Dell Networking switches, and support from Etu for analytic software and Dell Professional Services for implementation. It briefly discusses futures around in-memory processing and virtualized Hadoop deployments.

The document provides an overview of Jenkins X, including: - What Jenkins X is and how it differs from Jenkins - How to install Jenkins X using the CLI - Capabilities like quickstarts, build packs, pipelines, environments and ChatOps - When Jenkins X would be suitable compared to manually configuring Kubernetes - Next steps to learn more about Jenkins X

The document summarizes a Kubernetes meetup that took place on June 9th 2021 in Geneva. The meetup aimed to bring together Kubernetes enthusiasts to discuss the Kubernetes ecosystem, share best practices and demonstrations. The agenda included presentations from KubeCon Europe 2021 on topics like multi-cluster, security, GitOps, service mesh and machine learning. Upcoming meetups were announced for September with the goal of meeting in person. Attendees were encouraged to propose future presentation topics.

Handling health care info for patients requires a high level of security and confidentiality. Running a Cloud Native platform opens a lot of possibilities, but also a lot of dangerous pitfalls. In this talk we will explore different problem areas, and some of the best practices for handling these. We will look at Open Source tools for automatic detection, enforcing security policies and security reporting for auditing. We will also talk about the easy options, the full package, and the managed package.

McAfee provides database security software. To support open source databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL, McAfee developed plugins that hook into the database internals. The MySQL plugin has been available since 2011 and the PostgreSQL plugin since 2016. Both are open source under GPL licenses. The plugins allow McAfee to collect detailed information from the databases to monitor for threats. Developing plugins requires less effort than traditional methods and leverages the open source code. The plugins have been well received by customers and have helped McAfee gain new business while maintaining support for existing customers using open source databases.

This document discusses hacking into containers and how to stop it. It begins with an overview of increased security responsibilities for developers as containers add operating system level concerns. It then demonstrates hacking techniques and defenses that can be used in depth, such as minimizing images, not running as root, read only root filesystems, secrets management, and network policies. Key takeaways are that fast security feedback is important for developers and implementing known secure practices for building and running containers can help mitigate vulnerabilities.

Security is a key concern for application developers and operations teams, as well as security professionals. Have I done enough? What do I need to do in the face of new threats like Meltdown and Spectre? What happens when the next big issue comes along? What should my priorities be? How do containers help? In this talk we’ll demonstrate some common attacks live, and show how you can effectively defend your container deployment against them, using a combination of best practices, configuration, and tools. Taking inspiration from highlights of the OWASP Top 10, and other high profile exploits and attacks, in this talk we will look at risks and preventative measures related to: - authentication - injection - updates - sensitive data - configuration By the end of the talk you should understand the most important security risks in your applications, and how to go about mitigating them.

Webinar on release 1.2.6 of ClusterControl: This release contains key new features (along with performance improvements and bug fixes), which are demonstrated live during the webinar. Highlights include: * Centralized Authentication using LDAP or Active Directory * Role-Based Access Control * OpenStack: Galera Deployment Automation * Hybrid setups with Galera and Asynchronous MySQL Replication * Manage single instance MySQL Servers or existing MySQL Replication setups About ClusterControl: Setting up, maintaining and operating a database cluster can be tricky. ClusterControl gives you the power to deploy, manage, monitor and scale entire clusters efficiently and reliably. ClusterControl supports a variety of MySQL-based clusters (Galera, NDB, 5.6 Replication) as well as MongoDB/TokuMX-based clusters.

The document discusses automation and management of database clusters using ClusterControl software from Severalnines. It covers the database infrastructure lifecycle including deploying, monitoring, managing, and scaling database clusters. ClusterControl provides automation and management capabilities for provisioning, monitoring systems and database performance, managing multiple database clusters across data centers, and automating tasks like repair, recovery, upgrades, backups and scaling. The presentation includes a demo and discusses Severalnines customers.

Use MongoDB at Any Scale As you scale, one of the challenges is optimizing your clusters and mitigating operational risk. Proper preparation can result in significant savings and reduced downtime. This session covers: * Deployment of dev/test/production environments across private data centers or public clouds * What to monitor in production environments * Management automation with ClusterControl from Severalnines * How ClusterControl works with TokuMX The session will give you the tools to more effectively manage your cluster, immediately. The presentation will include code samples and a live Q&A session. This webinar is being delivered jointly by Severalnines & Tokutek. Severalnines provides automation and management tools to reduce the complexity of working with highly available database clusters. Tokutek provides high-performance and scalability for MongoDB, MySQL and MariaDB.
