Kubernetes Powered Central Go Modules | @KubeSUMMIT @JFrog @LeonStigter #Serverless #Containers #Docker #Kubernetes

Today, Kubernetes is the defacto standard if you want to run container workloads in a production environment. As we set out to build our next generation of products, and run them smoothly in the cloud, we needed to move to Kubernetes too! In the process of building tools like KubeXray and GoCenter we learned a whole bunch.

Join this talk to learn how to get started with Kubernetes and how we got started at JFrog building our new tools. After the session you will know:
How we got to Kubernetes (and why we chose it)

Built in Docker Containers | @DevOpsSUMMIT @DataTheorem #DevOps #Serverless #Containers #Docker #AWS #Lambda #Kubernetes

In 2017, Docker reached 24% adoption while Lambda reached 23.5% adoption among Amazon Web Services customers. Yet, the adoption rate of serverless and cost savings are dramatically better than what virtual containers can offer. Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are all pushing serverless because it’s easier and cheaper for their customers. Also, once apps are built using serverless frameworks, there’s a higher switch-over cost to go from one cloud to another. We’ll discuss this and also talk about how brand loyalty is something every subscription service is hoping to achieve. Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are strengthening their offerings with serverless in the cloud.

Shortcomings of ETL Tools | @CloudEXPO @Infostretch #Cloud #CIO #BigData #Analytics #AWS #Serverless #DataCenter

Poor data quality and analytics drive down business value. In fact, Gartner estimated that the average financial impact of poor data quality on organizations is $9.7 million per year. But bad data is much more than a cost center. By eroding trust in information, analytics and the business decisions based on these, it is a serious impediment to digital transformation.

Extract, transform and load (ETL) tools like AWC Glue bring much needed functionality. This tool enables new approaches to pulling, processing and pushing data from source to target, and introduces concepts such as performing data transformation tasks using SparkSQL scripts in Apache spark environment. However, there are shortcomings with AWS Glue, leading to a number of challenges and questions:

How to Sponsor @CloudEXPO Silicon Valley | #Cloud #AI #CIO #Serverless #DevOps #DataCenter #Kubernetes #IoT #Blockchain

At CloudEXPO Silicon Valley, June 24-26, 2019, Digital Transformation (DX) is a major focus with expanded DevOpsSUMMIT and FinTechEXPO programs within the DXWorldEXPO agenda. Successful transformation requires a laser focus on being data-driven and on using all the tools available that enable transformation if they plan to survive over the long term. A total of 88% of Fortune 500 companies from a generation ago are now out of business. Only 12% still survive. Similar percentages are found throughout enterprises of all sizes.

Microservices Implementation at Scale | @KubeSUMMIT @Capgemini @CapgeminiNA #CloudNative #Serverless #Kubernetes #Microservices

We at Capgemini have developed a cloud-native PaaS Solution called “Apollo”. Apollo is built on top of following open source components. – Apache Mesos for cluster management, scheduling & resource isolation – Marathon or Kubernetes for Container orchestration – Docker for application container runtime, – Consul for service discovery via DNS – Weave for networking of Docker Containers – Traefik for application container load balancing

How to Build Maintainable Serverless Architecture | @KubeSUMMIT @SignalFX #CloudNative #Serverless #DevOps #Docker #Kubernetes

Using serverless computing has a number of obvious benefits over traditional application infrastructure – you pay only for what you use, scale up or down immediately to match supply with demand, and avoid operating any server infrastructure at all.

However, implementing maintainable and scalable applications using serverless computing services like AWS Lambda poses a number of challenges. The absence of long-lived, user-managed servers means that states cannot be maintained by the service. Longer function invocation times (referred to as cold starts) become very important to track, because they impact the response time of the service and will impose additional cost. Additionally, the transition to smaller individual components (much like breaking a monolithic application into microservices) results in a simpler deployment model, but makes the system as a whole increasingly complex.

Serverless Apps Three Key Use Cases | @KubeSUMMIT @Platform9Sys #Serverless #Containers #DevOps #Docker #Kubernetes

Serverless applications increase developer productivity and time to market, by freeing engineers from spending time on infrastructure provisioning, configuration and management. Serverless also simplifies Operations and reduces cost – as the Kubernetes container infrastructure required to run these applications is automatically spun up and scaled precisely with the workload, to optimally handle all runtime requests.

Recent advances in open source technology now allow organizations to run Serverless and Kubernetes reliably, at scale, also on on-premises and private cloud infrastructure. The ability to achieve the benefits of Serverless on existing infrastructure – and not having to rely solely on public clouds – has greatly increased the adoption of Serverless across industries, including financial services, IoT, retail, healthcare, and more.

Serverless offers an incredible opportunity for business accelerate innovation and reduce operational costs – both for green field applications, as well as for established organizations with legacy applications and technical debt.

ServerlessSUMMIT at @CloudEXPO | @IoT2040 #CloudNative #Serverless #DataCenter #Monitoring #Containers #DevOps #Docker #Kubernetes

As you know, enterprise IT conversation over the past year have often centered upon the open-source Kubernetes container orchestration system. In fact, Kubernetes has emerged as the key technology — and even primary platform — of cloud migrations for a wide variety of organizations.

Kubernetes is critical to forward-looking enterprises that continue to push their IT infrastructures toward maximum functionality, scalability, and flexibility.

As they do so, IT professionals are also embracing the reality of Serverless architectures, which are critical to developing and operating real-time applications and services. Serverless is particularly important as enterprises of all sizes develop and deploy Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives.

Bringing the Next 100 Million People to Blockchain | @CloudEXPO @CelsiusNetwork #FinTech #Blockchain #Bitcoin #Ethereum #SmartCities

The Crypto community has run out of anarchists, libertarians and almost absorbed all the speculators it can handle, the next 100m users to join Crypto need a world class application to use. What will it be? Alex Mashinsky, a 7X founder & CEO of Celsius Network will discuss his view of the future of Crypto.
