When making the decision to build and operate an application on a physical or cloud platform, microservices are becoming central to architecture and strategy.
  • Deploying your apps in the cloud, Chris Ricker
    There are numerous ways to deploy applications within the cloud. The current rage is deploying within containers, but many applications continue to be deployed on VMs as well as on bare metal. In this session we will discuss the pros and cons and each approach and how to determine which method of deployment is best for your needs. While there is not one way to rule them all, OpenStack provides common APIs that can be used to orchestrate all your workloads regardless of the deployment options you need. OpenStack components and options covered include Heat, Murano, Kolla, and Magnum. Finally, we touch briefly on why you might want to consider building your application using microservices and how Shipped can help.
  • How to Manage Big Data from the Internet of Things, Dmitri Chtchourov -Kartik K.
    Big Data and the Internet of Things are two of the hottest categories in information technology today, yet there are significant challenges when trying to create for an end-to-end solution. The worlds of "IT" and "IoT" differ in terms of programming interfaces, protocols, security frameworks, and application lifecycle management. In this talk we will describe proven ways to overcome challenges when deploying a complete "device to datacenter" system, including how to stream IoT telemetry into big data repositories; how to perform real-time analytics on machine data; and how to close the loop with reliable, secure command and control back out to remote control systems and other devices.

Open Stack Sessions

1. Developing Applications on top of OpenStack
Do you have an app deployed in public cloud today? If so, is cost becoming a concern? Are you adopting a 'DevOps" structure in your shop? Have you tried deploying OpenStack already? What was your experience? Attend this deep-dive workshop to learn how Cisco operates private clouds with Cisco Metapod, an OpenStack Private Cloud as-a-Service model, at a fraction of the cost of other public and private cloud options. This session will demonstrate how we use OpenStack to provide the best of the public cloud experience securely, at your site. We will show how you retain complete control over users, virtual machine images, storage, network and more with real-time visibility, while Cisco delivers OpenStack engineering and operations as-a-service, 24 x 7 x 365.
2. Upcoming services in OpenStack, Rohit Agarwalla
There are several new upcoming OpenStack projects/services that are built upon the core OpenStack infrastructure services. This session will first briefly discuss the new changes introduced for the project governance structure in OpenStack and highlight areas where Cisco is making significant contributions.
3. OpenStack Enabling DevOps, Will Snow
The DevOps model is rapidly transforming IT operations and development practices. But what are the precursors necessary to implement DevOps? To achieve an agile, virtualized, and highly automated IT environment, what technological requirements need to be in place? OpenStack has the potential to facilitate DevOps implementation and practices at several different layers in the data center. In this session we'll quickly discuss what DevOps is, then discuss many components that are logically required to move towards DevOps in your environment. Finally we'll explore in depth several ways OpenStack can provide these baseline components.
4. Getting Started with Open Stack, Charles Eckel, Chris Ricker
Hearing a lot about OpenStack and want to check it out for yourself? See how quick and easy it is to install and start using OpenStack within a VM on your own laptop. Acquaint yourself with the environment. Learn your way around Horizon (GUI) and the CLI to view and operate an OpenStack cloud, both from the perspective of a cloud administrator and as a tenant/user of the cloud. See how to automate typical workflows such as deploying a new multi-tier application. Best of all, take what you learn with you and experiment on your own to discover all OpenStack offers you.
5. Building a video-optimized private cloud platform on Cisco infrastructure, Rohit Agarwalla
The media industry is in flux and our biggest customers are gearing up for a huge shift in how they operate. To keep up with an exploding number of formats, devices, and consumption models, the industry at large is embracing a brave new world of IP networking, tapeless workflows, and cloud computing. Cisco is leading the way in building an on-premises private cloud solution based on OpenStack and optimized for media workloads. Across compute, storage, and networking, Cisco is offering a highly available, scalable, upgradable, and expandable end-to-end media data center architecture. In this demonstration, we'll showcase how you can use this video optimized cloud platform to automatically provision and deploy a complete media content factory from content ingest to playout. The audience will learn how a robust OpenStack platform, deployed on Cisco infrastructure, improves workflow efficiency and reduces.
6. OpenStack and OpenDaylight, The Evolving Relationship in Cloud Networking, Charles Eckel
OpenStack is well established as the public/private cloud platform, abstracting compute, storage, and networking resources behind a unified set of APIs. OpenStack Neutron provides the lion's share of networking resources and seems sufficient for many small private cloud deployments. As scale and increases and service providers with large network footprints come into the picture, new complications arise. Service provider networks have requirements and capabilities far beyond those addressable with Neutron. Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has given rise to modular network controllers in the service provider space. OpenDaylight is the open source world's answer, and service providers want to be able to marry OpenStack orchestration with OpenDaylight networking, as evident by the Open Platform for Network Function Virtualization project (OPNFV). Come learn how SDN controllers fit in this context vs. OpenStack with neutron drivers, when to use one when to use the other, and the benefits and functionality of each.

Workshops
1. Big Data as a Service on Open Stack, Kartik Kanakasabesan
Want to build the next killer application that leverages solutions like geolocation, streaming data etc. A lot of these underlying technologies are what under pin the current IoT/IoE, Mobile, Social Networking websites. The aim of this workshop is get you familiarized with these technologies in a cloud environment so that you can focus more on building applications instead of spending time managing the complex infrastructure that is usually associated with Big Data
2. Using Shipped, Ken Owens
Developers are driving the market for cloud consumption and leading each industry into the new era of software defined disruption. There are no longer questions about elastic and flexible agile development as the way to innovate and reduce time to market for businesses. However, Physical and cloud Infrastructure does not enable application development platforms natively nor provide the ability to create applications that are cloud native with elastic services. In addition, businesses are moving to application development architectures leveraging microservices which are becoming more strategic to their business strategy. When making the decision to build and operate an application on physical or on a cloud platform, microservices became central to your application architecture and strategy.
This workshop will take specific application code and enable elastic, flexible, and portable application workloads that can be deployed. We will leverage the Shipped UI to build and deploy a project quickly. Leverage the data analytics to understand the application performance and behaviors. The run interface will be leveraged and deployment models will be investigated.
3. Cisco Managed Private Cloud in Your Data Center: Public cloud experience on premise
4. Building Hybrid Cloud Applications with Intercloud Fabric, John McDonough
