The rise of microservices details how the software infrastructure of the future are changing. As corporations strive for competitive advantage, they must redesign their brownfield legacy applications and move them to the cloud. Agile Cloud applications follow microservices and cloudnative development patterns. Microservices architectures are enabled by Docker and Kubernetes. Both software are hosted by CNCF. microservices architectures are being enhanced with a service mesh layer which simplifies the communication and management of cloudnative applications.

The document introduces the Cisco Hybrid Cloud Platform for Google Cloud. It allows customers to develop and deploy applications across both public cloud and on-premises environments with a consistent environment. The platform provides a turnkey solution for production-grade Kubernetes environments and includes Cisco and Google technologies like CloudCenter, Container Platform, CSR1000v, Stealthwatch Cloud, Apigee, and Istio to connect, manage and secure hybrid environments. It enables use cases like extending CI/CD pipelines across environments and consuming public cloud services from on-premises.

GitOps is a way of implementing continuous deployment for cloud native applications using Kubernetes. It focuses on a developer-centric experience by using tools like Git and continuous deployment that developers are already familiar with. GitOps uses Git as the single source of truth for infrastructure configuration and changes. It has four main principles: the system is described declaratively, Git is the single source of truth, changes can be automatically applied, and the system is continuously validated and improved. Common GitOps operators that facilitate continuous delivery include Flux, Argo CD, and Jenkins X. The GitOps model uses a pull-based deployment approach rather than pushing changes, improving security, observability, and productivity.

GitOps è un nuovo metodo di CD che utilizza Git come unica fonte di verità per le applicazioni e per l'infrastruttura (declarative infrastructure/infrastructure as code), fornendo sia il controllo delle revisioni che il controllo delle modifiche. In questo talk vedremo come implementare workflow di CI/CD Gitops basati su Kubernetes, dalla teoria alla pratica passando in rassegna i principali strumenti oggi a disposizione come ArgoCD, Flux (aka Gitops engine) e JenkinsX

This session will discuss K8s solutions and Telco Intelligent-edge possibilities by integrate with CoreOS Operator Framework that can manage CNFs, state-full and other complex stateless container applications.

APIs und Microservices zu verwalten und erreichbar zu machen, ist hart. “Alles als Code” ist hierbei ein innovativer Ansatz, um API-Management zu betreiben.In einer Zeit, die von GitOps geprägt ist, stellt "Everything as Code" ein entscheidendes Konzept dar, um die Entwicklung und Bereitstellung von Software effizienter zu gestalten. Dieser Talk widmet sich der Integration von "Alles als Code" mit modernen API-Gateways, Developer Portals und GraphQL und zeigt auf, wie dieser Ansatz die Art und Weise, wie wir APIs verwalten und bereitstellen, revolutionieren kann. Ein innovatives, Code-getriebenes Developer Portal fördert die Zusammenarbeit und erlaubt die nahtlose Nutzung von APIs. Teams profitieren von der Versionskontrolle ihrer Konfiguration, die in automatisierten Tests hilfreich sein kann sowie müheloser Synchronisierung ermöglicht, was letztendlich den Entwicklungszyklus beschleunigt.Dieser Talk befasst sich mit der praktischen Umsetzung von "Everything as Code" in Kombination mit API-Gateways, Developer Portals und GraphQL. Wie diese Kombination zu einer höheren Effizienz und Skalierbarkeit aller Komponenten beitragen kann.

Today it’s all about delivering velocity without compromising on quality, yet it’s becoming increasingly difficult for organisations to keep up with the challenges of current release management and traditional operations. The demand for developers to own the end-to-end delivery, including operational ownership, is increasing. A “you build it, you own it” development process requires tools that developers know and understand. So I’d like to introduce “GitOps”- an agile software lifecycle for modern applications. In this session, I will discuss these industry challenges, including current CICD trends and how they’re converging with operations and monitoring. I’ll also illustrate the GitOps model, identify best practices and tools to use, and explain how you can benefit from adopting this methodology inherited from best practices going back 10-15 years.

This document discusses using GitOps and multi-tenancy to provide an enterprise data science experience on Kubeflow. It describes how to deploy and manage Kubeflow using GitOps to simplify operations and accelerate time to production. GitOps allows storing all configuration in Git for versioning, rollbacks, and collaboration. Kustomize is used to manage configurations and integrate changes from upstream Kubeflow repositories while allowing customizations. This provides reproducibility, isolation of tenants, and easy upgrades in a production-ready Kubeflow cluster.

Presentation delivered at DOAG 2022 Abstract: Building applications in a Cloud-native way is the new normal, since the world is hybrid nowadays. Cloud-native applications are flexible, scalable and portable from On-prem environment to any Cloud platform as well as between different Cloud-vendor platforms without changing the actual implementation. This session will look at the key characteristics of Cloud-native applications and what this means for enterprises. In this session, I'll also give an overview on OCI and the provided Cloud-native apps development platform. In addition, I'll demo developing and running Cloud-native apps in OCI and will introduce the relevant Services.

This document summarizes Filip Pohronský's presentation on Meetup CNCF - Observability and Analysis. It discusses what CNCF is and its cloud native definition. CNCF seeks to drive adoption of cloud native technologies through open source projects. Reasons for organizations adopting cloud native include better efficiency, higher development velocity, and support for multi-cloud. The presentation provides information on joining the CNCF community and plans for future meetups in Bratislava, Slovakia.

This document discusses Flux, an open source tool for Kubernetes continuous delivery. It summarizes Flux version 2 updates, how Flux enables GitOps practices, and how Flux can be used by different roles like cluster operators, platform engineers, and app developers to automate infrastructure and application deployments. Key features of Flux discussed include multi-cluster management, observability integrations, and the GitOps toolkit for building custom continuous delivery systems.

Presentation held at AIOUG Sangam 2020 Cloud-native is the way new applications should be built today. It doesn’t matter here, if the application is going to be deployed in the Cloud or On-prem. The most important thing is that an application is applicable for getting the most out of the Cloud with respect to efficiency. APIs and Containers are essential building blocks of Cloud-native applications. As Cloud-native apps are driven by APIs, the development of such an app should start with defining the API in an API design-first approach. Within this session I’ll give further insights into what makes Cloud-native development different from classical app development. Furthermore, we’ll go through the respective development steps (API design, Service development, Deployment to OCI, API exposure) to make the session more practical. For exposing the app to the outside world OCI API Gateway will be used. The development of the Cloud-native app is done using Oracle’s Microservice framework Helidon.

Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality. Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality. Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality. Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank? ** Episode Overview ** In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss: ⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality? ⦿ Why is patent quality important? ⦿ How to balance quality and budget ⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise ⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications https://www.aurorapatents.com/patently-strategic-podcast.html

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.
