How is Yelp handling its transition into the cloud? Yelp is a big consumer of Amazon’s Elastic MapReduce service for batch jobs, but still self-hosts for its website. What are the advantages and pitfalls of a split cloud/server model? This talk will discuss the open source tools used by Yelp that have enabled the embrace of cloud technology, and the areas where data centers still have an edge. Read more.

By linking together an Ubuntu-based laptop and cloud back-end, developers are able to model an entire environment on their client and then launch it to the cloud. Add to that a community-based library of language profiles to down load and auto-install and you have fluid Open Source end-to-end environment to build test and deploy. Read more.

Imagine it’s eight o’clock on a Thursday morning and you awake to see a bulldozer out your window ready to plow over your data center. Normally you might consult the Encyclopedia Galáctica to discern the best course of action but your copy is likely out of date. That’s why you need to attend this talk to understand what to do when the Vogons threaten to destroy your data center. Read more.

A growing number of OSS technologies are available as services on Windows Azure, including database services for MySQL, MongoDB, and CouchDB developers, enterprise search based on Solr/Lucene, caching via the memcached wire protocol, and others. In this session you'll see examples of how to take advantage of these services from applications running on any cloud platform. Read more.

The ability to create quick prototypes is fantastic, whether you're at a hackathon, trying to create a proof of concept for work, or just playing on your own. This talk will show you how to create quick applications using python, php and node.js on Heroku, Appfog and Nodejitsu. Read more.

Bosh is an open source cloud orchestration tool chain, which will let you deploy your application to a number of clouds, and manage the whole application lifecycle - release engineering, VM creation, VM resizing, operating system upgrades, database & application upgrades. Read more.

In this talk, we present AppScale, an open source implementation of Google App Engine -- think Google's cloud platform under your control. AppScale executes App Engine apps without modification, automatically manages and scales apps and their service ecosystems, and enables developers to plug in different service alternatives (e.g. NoSQL, SQL, analytics, search,..) without rewriting their code. Read more.

Scalability today is no longer a question of architecture, or programming language, but instead two things: message passing and data distribution. With the following patterns under your belt, anyone is well on their way to solving both. * Message patterns: request-reply, publish-subscribe, push-pull, exclusive pair. * Data structures: DHTs, Vector clocks, Merkel trees, CRDTs.

Netflix has seen tremendous growth in recent years, supporting 800+ device types for more than 30M streaming customers. This growth presents amazing technical challenges. At the center of it all is the Netflix Internal API, quietly handling billions of requests a day. In this session, I will discuss the challenges & solutions, including cloud development, resiliency, scaling, UI support & more. Read more.

Just developed a new feature, and looking to try it out? The process of testing new features can be tedious and time consuming. This session will present a new open source solution that enables you to demo your features as a service with a javascript embed code. Read more.

Turn your datacenter into a cloud, and then use that cloud to run a cloud. It's clouds all the way down! Read more.

Apache CloudStack, a project in Incubation, helps an admin or devops engineer build an IaaS cloud. This talk provides a technical description of the CloudStack feature set, deployment options, and integration points with the data center. The project's status and possible future directions will be presented as well. Read more.

Public, private, and hybrid; software, platform, and infrastructure. This talk will discuss the current state of the Platform-as-a-Service space, and why the keys to success lie in enabling developer productivity, and providing openness and choice. We'll do this by considering the success of Open Source in general, and then look at the Cloud Foundry project and its growing ecosystem. Read more.

MongoDB on AWS is a very popular, flexible backend option for application storage, however best practices in the industry are still young. We will talk about how to run on AWS efficiently and cost-effectively with minimal manual intervention. We will also talk about how to tune your cluster for optimal performance on EC2 and how to recover quickly from any downtime. Read more.

Mirage is a new operating system for the cloud which compiles source code in a functional language (OCaml) into type-safe microkernels that run directly on the public cloud. The compiler specialises appliances such as a web server or database into hundreds of kilobytes, marking a radical shift in how we can manage online services that are always struggling with security isusues. Read more.

This talk is about systems performance for enterprise and cloud computing environments. This covers the performance of operating systems themselves, and the performance of applications from operating system context. This talk is intended for any open source operating system, especially the illumos and Linux kernels. Read more.

Learn all about OpenShift Origin – the FOSS platform as a service (PaaS). This session is intended for anyone who wants to learn more about the cool things we do under the hoods to make a true multi-tenant secure PaaS. Read more.
