Reducing Business Risk in the Cloud

•

0 j'aime•480 vues

This era of cloud computing has created immense opportunity for building products to expand into new markets. Capital investment is very low and a much smaller team is needed to manage operations. At the same time, the opportunity to scale on demand is right at your fingertips. Every enterprise large and small must find ways to evolve their business. This session will show how you can bootstrap new business ideas in the cloud with little risk, and gather useful feedback from prospective customers to validate the concept. We'll discuss how you get from idea to code, how to manage deployment and operations efficiently, how to gather metrics and input from target customers as the product evolves. You'll learn how many free SaaS offerings can help with this process, and how PaaS features of the Windows Azure Platform can help you quickly move from test cycles with customers to a full blown, affordable and manageable deployment.

Surviving Microservices - v2

Michele Leroux Bustamante

When you design your microservices strategy you will likely come up with patterns for when and how your services should execute. Traditional container scheduling services often deal with running container instances and distributing those instances across your cluster according to resource constraints – but your microservices design may also have other requirements such as message-based services that run and listen for topics; services that run on a scheduled job cycle; and services that may run in different ways based on initialization and have many instances running in parallel at any given time. This session looks at architecture patterns for container-based solutions; and illustrates the execution of these patterns with Docker containers and related tools. Concepts are platform independent but demos will be based on Kafka and Azure Container Service with Mesosphere DC/OS, Mesos, Marathon and Chronos.

.NET Developer Days - Launching Patterns for Containers

Michele Leroux Bustamante

Docker is a key player in the microservices movement and is arguably the leader in containerization technology. That said, there are many ways to “do Docker”. Between the leading cloud providers AWS, Azure, and Google; plus other platform stacks like Docker/Swarm, Apache Mesos – DC/OS, and Kubernetes; it can get confusing.In this session, Michele will bring her customer experiences building solutions across most of these platforms – to provide you with the highlights, the architecture topologies, and some perspective on the way she helps her customers choose the right platform for their cloud, on premise or hybrid solutions.

.NET Developer Days - So many Docker platforms, so little time...

Michele Leroux Bustamante

When companies endeavor to move their applications and services to the cloud, they tend to worry more about security up front. Interestingly, platforms such as Azure provide an even more secure environment than most self-managed co-location facilities can hope to offer, not to mention the plethora of features on the platform that help you secure your solutions end to end. In this session Michele will review the mini-avalanche that comprises Azure security across features. Taking the architect's view of the platform (with demos) she’ll cover best practices for securing Azure solutions end to end and discuss the tangential benefits of moving to Azure and how it can help you with checking the boxes on those pesky security surveys.

Design Practices for a Secure Azure Solution

Michele Leroux Bustamante

Logging is one of those things that everyone complains about, but doesn't dedicate time to. Of course, the first rule of logging is "do it". Without that, you have no visibility into system activities when investigations are required. But, the end goal is much, much more than this. Almost all applications require security audit logs for compliance; application logs for visibility across all cloud properties; and application tracing for tracking usage patterns and business intelligence. The latter is that magic sauce that helps businesses learn about their customer or in some cases the data is FOR the customer. Without a strategy this can get very messy, fast. In this session Michele will discuss design patterns for a sound logging and audit strategy; considerations for security and compliance; the benefits of a noSQL approach; and more.

By leveraging services in the cloud, businesses can host new applications and services in a cost effective manner. Existing systems can also leverage the cloud in its entirety or for specific aspects of the system to reduce infrastructure management costs and to support potential scale-out requirements as usage increases. Windows Azure offers many services from application hosting, storage, content delivery, messaging, caching and security. Pricing each of these services to estimate your costs requires some thoughtfulness around how you will use each service within your architecture, and some predictions about the number of users, payload traffic and number of transactions. How then can you estimate your costs, or price your own offering to customers when there are so many variables? Pricing is not a perfect science and each business will have its own level of tolerance for cost absorption vs. costs to be deferred to customers. In this session we will break down the pricing model of the cloud, look at ways to quantify your service using various architectural examples, and look at ways you can track usage, validate costs and ultimately collect your costs across the core Windows Azure features to gain perspective on what you need to charge your customers for those services, along with some ideas on how to project revenue.

With more memory available, system performance of three Dell devices increased, which can translate to a better user experience Conclusion When your system has plenty of RAM to meet your needs, you can efficiently access the applications and data you need to finish projects and to-do lists without sacrificing time and focus. Our test results show that with more memory available, three Dell PCs delivered better performance and took less time to complete the Procyon Office Productivity benchmark. These advantages translate to users being able to complete workflows more quickly and multitask more easily. Whether you need the mobility of the Latitude 5440, the creative capabilities of the Precision 3470, or the high performance of the OptiPlex Tower Plus 7010, configuring your system with more RAM can help keep processes running smoothly, enabling you to do more without compromising performance.

Created by Mozilla Research in 2012 and now part of Linux Foundation Europe, the Servo project is an experimental rendering engine written in Rust. It combines memory safety and concurrency to create an independent, modular, and embeddable rendering engine that adheres to web standards. Stewardship of Servo moved from Mozilla Research to the Linux Foundation in 2020, where its mission remains unchanged. After some slow years, in 2023 there has been renewed activity on the project, with a roadmap now focused on improving the engine’s CSS 2 conformance, exploring Android support, and making Servo a practical embeddable rendering engine. In this presentation, Rakhi Sharma reviews the status of the project, our recent developments in 2023, our collaboration with Tauri to make Servo an easy-to-use embeddable rendering engine, and our plans for the future to make Servo an alternative web rendering engine for the embedded devices industry.
