Welcome to the next OpenStack Forum! 7/12, 14:00 to 17:00.

Hej alle!

Då var det äntligen dags igen!

Varmt välkomna torsdagen den 7/12, 14:00 till 17:00. Även denna gång äger eventet rum hos Meteorologisk Institutt på Henrik Mohns plass 1, 0313 Oslo, Norge, så stort tack till Meteorologisk Institutt som sponsrar med lokal!

Talare den här gången är Harald Andersson från HPE som pratar lite om hvordan CPUene kan tilpasses for ulike applikasjoner med hensyn til sikkerhet, skalering, pris og lisensreduksjon for HPC, DB, VM og Containere.

Sponsor är HGST där Carl Johan pratar om allt som har med flash och Ceph att göra, för att få ordentlig fart på din storage. HGST bjuder också på burgare + öl till de 20 första anmälda på den Gamle Major, precis som förra gången.

Utöver det pratar Yavor från OP5 om utmaningarna med att planera, rulla ut, uppgradera och underhålla geografiskt distribuerade multi-datacenter OpenStack miljöer. I sin roll på OP5 har Yavor haft förmånen att se många olika kunders miljöer så här får vi ett destillat av hans erfarenheter.

Hur anmäler jag mig?

Svara på detta mail och säg om du kommer, samt om du vill ha burgare så jag kan notera det. OBS! Glöm inte att specificera om du vill ha burgare + öl, default är "no".

Session: Intel Skylake, dypdykk i prosessorarkitektur med hvilke
prosessorer som er optimale for applikasjoner.

Description: Intel har nylig lansert neste generasjon serverprosessorer,
«Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family». Hvordan kan CPUene tilpasses
for ulike applikasjoner med hensyn til sikkerhet, skalering, pris og
lisensreduksjon for HPC, DB, VM og Containere.

Speaker: Harald Andersson, 32 år i bransjen. Onsite ingeniør, SW
support, Presalg, og Salg/ Consulting. Erfaring med flere historiske

Session: HGST storage components: JBOF and JBOD for all your Ceph needs.

Description: Carl Johan from HGST talks storage news and storage trends.
Learn what Helium disks are and what they are good for. Oh, and if
you're worried about flash disk endurance, Carl Johan will help you with
that as well.

Session: Troubles & Tribulations running OpenStack Environments.

Description: Running OpenStack in commercial production environment is a
non-trivial task. Running it at scale, in geographically distributed
environments is quite hard. I’ll share some hard fought experiences from
seeing production OpenStack environments together with our customers. We
at OP5 AB will share some customer insights in the daily challenges of
planning, deploying, upgrading and servicing a geographically
distributed, multi-data center OpenStack production environment. We’ll
go over a few specific problems our customers experience, how we
responded and what we learned, the post-mortem we conducted and what
could’ve been done better. We’ll also talk about what we as a pure-play
monitoring vendor can do to support, monitor and trouble-shoot
environments and also where we see the future of monitoring.

I’ll briefly touch upon the challenge of dynamic, complex environments
going forward and the challenges to monitor, visualise and react to
streaming metrics environments at scale. The regulatory environment
(GDPR) is also placing additional strain and complexity upon the
traditional monitoring role.

Speaker: Yavor Adel is a Project Manager at OP5 which produces the
Next-Gen Architecture for Cloud Monitoring where he developed the vision
for Next-Gen Architecture required for Cloud Monitoring in OpenStack,
Google Cloud Platform and Azure, secured financing from Board of
Directors and CEO, responsible for staffing, project management,
execution and customer contacts regarding next-gen platform.

Utilizing best-of-breed technologies like Kafka and InfluxDB, actively
engaging with the OpenStack community. Day-to-day responsibilities
include running the project as an internal start-up and liasing both
internally and externally with customers and partners.
