The great promise of cloud computing is arguably agility, elasticity and commoditization of hardware resources. To realize these benefits, provisioning bare operating system is not enough – organizations and developers often find themselves looking for more agile ways to deploy their applications on the cloud, without bothering with low level OS, network and storage details. PaaS (Platform as a service), is becoming more and more popular as means to cloud enable applications. The promise of many current PaaS platforms such as Heroku, CloudFoundry, EngineYard and others is that they will make application development on the cloud simple. To achieve this, most PaaS platforms take the “my way or the highway” approach (a.k.a opinionated architecture), and force you to fit into their own stack, language of choice, cloud data center, security, high availability, and scalability models. The result is that once you’re in – you’re locked in forever. Cloudify aims to change all that by giving you the freedom to choose your own stack, on any cloud, and handle your application your way. All while ensuring the simplicity and agility associated with PaaS.
Where? Tricode Headquarters, De Schutterij 12, 3905 PL Veenendaal, the Netherlands
When? 4:00 – 7:00 PM
MongoDB supports an automated sharding architecture, enabling horizontal scaling across multiple nodes.
With MongoDB you can convert to a sharded cluster, automatically managing failover and balancing of nodes, with few or no changes to the original application code.
Managing a sharded mongo setup is no trivial task. Learn how to easily set it up, monitor and scale it on any cloud environment using Cloudify.
No one can deny that big data and cloud simply complement each other. Big data requires clusters of servers in order to process and analyze data, which is something the cloud can easily provide. In this session, we’ll learn how you can build your big data “database on-demand” using Cassandra’s big data solution, as well as manage your big data application using Cloudify.
Chef is an excellent tool for setting up your environment and automating complex IT processes. It promotes the concept of DevOps and managing your infrastructure as code. However, Chef doesn’t go beyond the setup phase. The concept of DevOps and recipes can go well beyond setup, to actually accelerate the entire lifecycle of your applications, from setup, to monitoring, through maintaining high availability, and auto-scaling when required.
