«You have a memory like an elephant,» is truly a compliment. Researchers document all kinds of remarkable examples of the recall power of elephants, and this is credited with their ability to survive harsh environments as noted in this Scientific American article http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/elephants-never-forget/.
Our human memory also helps us learn from past experiences and mistakes, avoid recognizable hazards and keep track of our very busy lives. Our memories for the most part have served us well, but the same might not always be said about digital memory in an always connected, real-time world.

Monitoring Containers | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #Docker #APM #Monitoring
With the rise of Docker, Kubernetes, and other container technologies, the growth of microservices has skyrocketed among dev teams looking to innovate on a faster release cycle. This has enabled teams to finally realize their DevOps goals to ship and iterate quickly in a continuous delivery model. Why containers are growing in popularity is no surprise — they’re extremely easy to spin up or down, but come with an unforeseen issue.
However, without the right foresight, DevOps and IT teams may lose a lot of visibility into these containers resulting in operational blind spots and even more haystacks to find the presumptive performance issue needle.
[session] The #DigitalTransformation in Japan | @ThingsExpo #IoT #BigData
Digital innovation is the next big wave of business transformation based on digital technologies of which IoT and Big Data are key components, For example:
Business boundary innovation is a challenge to excavate third-party business value using IoT and BigData, like Nest
Business structure innovation may propose re-building business structure from scratch, as Uber does in the taxicab industry
The social model innovation is also a big challenge to the new social architecture with the design from the ground up of a data-driven ecosystem, as Google promotes its self-driving car project
Art of Rollback | @DevOpsSummit #API #APM #DevOps #ContinuousTesting
Let’s recap what we learned from the previous chapters in the series: episode 1 and episode 2.
We learned that a good rollback mechanism cannot be designed without having an intimate knowledge of the application architecture, the nature of your components and their dependencies. Now that we know what we have to restore and in which order, the question is how?

Cloud Computing vs Hyperconvergence | @CloudExpo #SDS #Cloud #Storage
The next generation of platforms is here is option in both cloud and on premises hyperconverged infrastructure. How do real people in today’s business world make the correct choices on where to move?
As IT departments look to move beyond traditional virtualization into cloud and hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) platforms, they have a lot to consider. There are many types of organizations with different IT needs and it is important to determine whether those needs align more cloud or HCI. Before I dig into the differences, let me go over the similarities.
[session] True Sensor #IoT Connection | @ThingsExpo @Neo4j #M2M #Sensors
I’m a lonely sensor. I spend all day telling the world how I’m feeling, but none of the other sensors seem to care.
I want to be connected. I want to build relationships with other sensors to be more useful for my human. I want my human to understand that when my friends next door are too hot for a while, I’ll soon be flaming. And when all my friends go outside without me, I may be left behind.
Don’t just log my data; use the relationship graph.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Ryan Boyd, Engineer and Head of Developer Relations at Neo4j, will help attendees understand the dependencies and figure out the root cause of the failures.
[session] @SolidFire: DevOps the Lean Cloud | @CloudExpo | #APM #DevOps
All clouds are not equal. To succeed in a DevOps context, organizations should plan to develop/deploy apps across a choice of on-premise and public clouds simultaneously depending on the business needs. This is where the concept of the Lean Cloud comes in – resting on the idea that you often need to relocate your app modules over their life cycles for both innovation and operational efficiency in the cloud.
In his session at @DevOpsSummit at19th Cloud Expo, Valentin (Val) Bercovici, CTO of SolidFire, will discuss how to leverage this concept to seize on the creativity and business agility to make it real.
[whitepaper] Driving #DigitalTransformation | @CloudExpo @IBMSystems #IoT
Information technology is an industry that has always experienced change, and the dramatic change sweeping across the industry today could not be truthfully described as the first time we’ve seen such widespread change impacting customer investments. However, the rate of the change, and the potential outcomes from today’s digital transformation has the distinct potential to separate the industry into two camps: Organizations that see the change coming, embrace it, and successful leverage it; and on the other side, organizations that will find themselves as roadkill on the technology highway.
Container Platforms: Build or Buy? | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #APM #BigData
Throughout history, various leaders have risen up and tried to unify the world by conquest. Fortunately, none of their plans have succeeded. The world goes on just fine with each country ruling itself; no single ruler is necessary. That’s how it is with the container platform ecosystem, as well.
There’s no need for one all-powerful, all-encompassing container platform. Think about any other technology sector out there – there are always multiple solutions in every space. The same goes for container technology. When you create something that is super scalable, the drawback is that it’s not going to be a one-size-fits-all approach. However, one person’s drawback is another person’s advantage.
