If you’ve had an OpenStack deployment for any length of time the chances are very good that you are still using nova-network. With the planned deprecation of nova-network right around the corner with Icehouse it’s time to start planning your transition from nova-network to Neutron.
Nova-network is a single monolithic process, that while complicated, handled all your networking needs. Neutron is very different system from nova-network with numerous components. It can be hard to understand how all the different components fit together to replicate the functionality you’ve come to rely on from nova-network.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Chet Burgess, Senior Director, Engineering at Metacloud, will take a look at some of the core functionality in nova-network and show you how it maps to Neutron. He will start by describing a multi-project nova-network setup that utilizes fixed IPs, security groups, floating IPs, and VLANs for project isolation. Over the course of the session he will describe the Neutron components that provide this functionality. By the end he will have a complete Neutron-based architecture that replicates your existing nova-network deployment. Finally he will cover the gaps between nova-network and Neutron today as well as what pitfalls you might encounter during your transition.

Can We Finally Find the Database Holy Grail?
The world runs on transactional database systems. Every business depends on them, and we each interact with them many times each day. Furthermore the world needs to build thousands more applications of transactional database systems to support the next-generation web. Nothing controversial there, but there is a problem: transactional database systems have stubbornly refused to join the 21st century.
The rest of the world is moving toward data center architectures predicated on thousands of commodity machines, commodity networks, and «scale-out» designs. These data centers will offer on-demand computing services that can instantly increase or decrease capacity to applications as needed. It’s easy to just add more web servers, application servers, or storage servers as required. Unfortunately while that works at every other level in the computing stack it does not work at the database layer. Database systems are scale-up systems, not scale-out systems.
Fusing Cloud SOA & Cloud M2M – Building an On Demand, Real-time Enterprise
Back in 2002 Vinod Khosla, one of the elite of the Silicon Valley entrepreneur community (co-founded Sun Microsystems among others), wrote a white paper called the Real-Time Enterprise
At the same time I also wrote a similar paper entitled Building an On Demand Enterprise, which was based around the same principles. We both described utilizing a ‘loosely coupled’ and federated business model via the SOA (Service Oriented Architecture), to build more agile organizational structures.
These service architectures were achieved by integration technologies and standards like SOAP, which as we zoom forward ten years we can see still persists in terms of the underlying model but has now been replaced by REST, a more web-oriented approach suitable to the new Cloud world.
Requirements for Next-Generation Privileged Identity Management
The importance of privileged identity management as a means of managing risk has long been understood. After all, it’s reported 43% of security breaches involve trusted insiders, according to research group Forrester. And the most recent Verizon Data Breach report revealed some 13% of breaches result from privilege misuse or abuse, and 76% involved weak or stolen credentials (of all types).
However, the widespread adoption of cloud computing has significantly increased the consequences of these risks. As was pointed out recently by Gartner Research Director Nick Nikols, “Administrators of private cloud and IaaS environments gain more concentrated power–and the risk that goes with it–than administrators for more traditional data center deployments.” The reason for this is the highly dynamic and scaleable nature of the cloud. Administrators can do much more, much faster than in traditional environments–and attacks scale up just as quickly.
Cloud Expo: Strategic Transformation to Next-Generation Big Data Platform
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Tony Shan will present a methodical approach to effectively transforming a complex heterogeneous IT environment to a Big Data-enabled technology ecosystem. First he introduce a pragmatic methodology that provides a step-by-step process to systematically develop and migrate existing applications and databases to a new paradigm: Discover, Evaluate, Analyze, and Recommend (DEAR). Then he drill down to individual components in this method, such as current state diagnosis, future state formulation, gap analysis, roadmap generation, and incremental implementation.
Afterwards, a real-world business scenario in an industry vertical will be presented, where he will apply this comprehensive method to execute a holistic transformation. We dive deep into the key barriers, limitations, and issues in specific use cases, which help derive the core technical requirements for the new platform in this case study. Multiple options in the technology components are short-listed and assessed via qualitative and quantitative evaluations. Prototypes are further developed to conduct trial runs on the final candidates with specific test cases and justification criteria. Best practices and lessons learned about Big Data, advanced analytics and public cloud services will also be discussed.
