This document discusses the intersection of business, technology, and innovation through the lens of cloud computing. It begins with an introduction of the speaker and defines cloud computing as on-demand delivery of computing resources via the internet. The document then explores the main cloud computing models including Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). It highlights advantages of cloud computing for small and medium-sized businesses, how SMBs are using cloud services, and concludes with information about the speaker's company Sunflower Lab which provides AWS cloud consulting.
Cloud computing refers to providing computing services over the Internet rather than locally. There are three main types of cloud computing services: Software as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service, and Platform as a Service. Software as a Service provides software to users on-demand, reducing upfront costs. Infrastructure as a Service provides the hardware infrastructure needed by organizations. Platform as a Service provides the software tools needed to develop cloud applications.

Mitigating the Impact of State Management in Cloud Stream Processing SystemsScyllaDB
Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states.
In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing.
Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.

Sustainability requires ingenuity and stewardship. Did you know Pigging Solutions pigging systems help you achieve your sustainable manufacturing goals AND provide rapid return on investment.
How? Our systems recover over 99% of product in transfer piping. Recovering trapped product from transfer lines that would otherwise become flush-waste, means you can increase batch yields and eliminate flush waste. From raw materials to finished product, if you can pump it, we can pig it.
Kief Morris rethinks the infrastructure code delivery lifecycle, advocating for a shift towards composable infrastructure systems. We should shift to designing around deployable components rather than code modules, use more useful levels of abstraction, and drive design and deployment from applications rather than bottom-up, monolithic architecture and delivery.

ALEXWhat’s massiveCondeNet websites outside of the US total around 200 million page views per month across about 20 websites. Wired.com in the US runs at about xxx million per month, and the goal was to replicate this kind of success (spread across each country) on one central platform.Therefore, massive is about trying to squeeze as much as possible from the same platform whilst coping with peaks:Wired has the kind of traffic pattern that can peak very suddenly, e.g. if a story gets picked up by EngadgetOnce Wired was spread across the globe, the time zones of peak usage hitting one central platform meant sustained 24/7 load (although only UK and IT so far )-Massive is also about amount of content: caching is OK, but if you have tons of pages, your cache turnover rate is very high so the code performance is still paramount. This is even more important because CondeNet does not have a glut of spare servers hanging around waiting to pick up the slack for our lazy coding
ALEXScaling the codeA few years ago Alex put in place a target policy of a TTFB of 200ms for ASP.NET pages under load of 100rps BEFORE outputcaching - that means:Code profiling: JetBrainsdotTrace 3.1 is a great tool from the same guys who make ReSharperDEMOCode-level caching of common data (e.g. the profiling showed us about the Umbraco Dictionary needing caching)WebCacheManager framework available on Alex’s blog.Instead of writing code which sets the timeout of a cache entry based on minutes, instead decorate objects with attributes which describe it:How much memory does it use?How expensive is it to create (e.g. long-running db query, webservice call)?How often does the data need to be refreshed?Then, the WebCacheManager makes a judgment on how long to cache the object for based on the whole landscape Also allows for very expensive objects to be serialized for disk asynchronously so that cache items survive application restartsUsing DFS you can then distribute cache items to other machines which monitor the cache folder and load items into cacheDisconnecting data connections as soon as possibleAvoiding Session state like the plague. Do you really need server-side generated user-specific content on the page? E.g. you can show login status using a jQuery callbackPage lifecycle caching: using singleton objects like the HttpContext to ensure you only grab data once per page lifecycleUsing Lucene indexes for common data queries (e.g. external Image and Comment databases) MORE ON THIS LATERAlways keep in mind that your code may run on more than one web server: be careful with file locks and replicationEven using String.Concat instead of String.Format!ONLY when you’re happy with this, THEN put in OutputCaching. OutputCaching doesn’t work with Umbraco. Why? Small bug in the requestModule which sets the UrlRewriting path (Default.aspx) just before the Framework stores the path for OutputCaching.We subclassed the requestModule to change the event at which point Umbraco does this, which enables OutputCaching. This code will be in 4.1 but is available on our blog.OutputCaching on a large site can give you a high turnover, but allows you to prevent high CPU during a peak and covers the parts Macro caching doesn’t reach

PETEWhen you’re too large to consider shared hosting, but not big enough (or crazy) to manage 12 data centres around the world, you have a few options – managed or co-located.Vs cloud-provider model - pick & choose services.GREAT Services – and the prices are comparatively amazing.Put as much in the hands of the experts, use disposable instances for the rest.ELB, S3 / Azure Blob, CF, EC2, AZURE... Azure is even better – upload your app and metadata about spec needs, and the cloud will handle the rest.Redundancy everywhere!Backup everywhere!And our personal tip – run Umbraco sites from a distributed repository, not a NAS.... Git... Rollback!Tools for editors to do stuff – do it in Umbraco!

PETE - refCloud providers operate through API.That means communities have developed great tools already to help you manage servers, view uptime, statistics....but to be honest, what we’re doing will be made a lot easier when the full Azure platform comes out. You still have to RDP and manage servers at Amazon... So we’ll be running tests with Umbraco.
PETEApplyingI’ve spent a lot of time looking at ways to keep your web farm in synch: synch framework providers, msdeployAlex’s patch...Azure will handle all this for us....
