The Makings of a Modern Application Architecture - Chip Childers, Technology Chief of Staff, Cloud Foundry Foundation

It wasn’t too long ago that artisans, bathed in the glow of molten metal, forged parts that would go on to make up bigger, more powerful machines. Today, we call those artisans developers. Instead of metal, they use bits and bytes in the cloud to forge a modern application architecture that supports public, private and hybrid application deployment. One that enables users and developers to move their applications wherever they need to go. And it’s built on a growing, vibrant ecosystem.

Nowhere is this epic shift in how things are made more visible than the meteoric adoption of Cloud Foundry. In this talk, Cloud Foundry technology chief of staff Chip Childers will give attendees an inside look at the economic forces that have made Cloud Foundry the fastest growing open source project in history.

He will also provide a look at the technologies driving this new level of efficiency for application developers (tech like containers, Docker, Kubernetes, OpenStack, Cloud Foundry and social coding tools like GitHub). And he’ll explain why many prominent members of the Fortune 500 are building their futures on this modern application architecture.

The Evolution of Open Source Business from Dual Licenses to Hybrid Ecosystems - Hiro Yoshikawa, Founder and CEO, Treasure Data

Open Source has created a powerful paradigm for building software. Today, it's almost impossible to not rely on open source software to build a successful software business.

At the same time, Open Source presents a unique challenge when building a software business on top of it. From dual licenses to proprietary add-ons, several business models have been tried over the last two decades with varying degrees of success. Finding an effective way to monetize open source software, even for popular ones, still presents major challenges to us.

In this talk, I will survey the history of open source business and offer my perspective of what has worked, what has not, and where we might be headed with a possibly unfair emphasis on what I know best: infrastructure software and enterprise middleware.

What is AllJoyn? - Philip DesAutels, Linux Foundation , Sr. Director of IoT, AllSeen Alliance

The AllSeen Alliance was formed in Dec. 2013 to overcome the interoperability and fragmentation challenges that impede the Internet of Things. Today, the Alliance unites over 170 industry leaders to advance an open source software project, AllJoyn, and enable billions of devices to seamlessly connect and interact regardless of brand or manufacturer. But where does AllJoyn fit in with the other protocols available on the market? And where do standards and open source intersect? AllSeen’s senior director of IoT, Philip DesAutels will explore common misconceptions about this rapidly changing industry and how standards, open source software and like-minded initiatives can work together to achieve a common goal - interoperability for IoT.
The AllJoyn open source software framework makes it easy for devices and apps to discover and communicate with one another securely regardless of brand, transport, platform or operating system. With the addition of the Gateway Agent, AllJoyn gives consumers, service providers and device OEMs a secure and easy way to connect to and manage AllJoyn-enabled devices and applications from external networks or cloud-based services.
With millions of connected devices on the market - a number that is growing exponentially - it is more important than ever that consumers have control over these devices and their data. The AllJoyn Gateway Agent is the industry’s first standard way to connect IoT devices and applications without compromising security or privacy.

systemd and Containers - Lennart Poettering, Red Hat

systemd is the system and service manager of most modern Linux distributions. Recently the project has been busy with adding first-class support for various container technologies to systemd natively, taking inspiration from Solaris Zones and other container systems. In this talk I want to shed some light on how to use this functionality, and show how the container integration is now available all through the systemd stack. We will particularly closely look at systemd's own minimal container manager "systemd-nspawn", as well as the "machinectl" tool for interfacing with container managers. With recent systemd containers are not a foreign technology running on top of an OS anymore, but are an essential part of the OS itself. This talk will explain the why, and show you how to make the best of it, for your workloads.

COLO: COarse-grain LOck-stepping Virtual Machines for Non-stop Service - Lei Gong, Huawei

Virtual machine (VM) replication is a well known technique for providing application-agnostic software-implemented hardware fault tolerance "non-stop service". High availability solutions
such as Remus and COLO will do consecutive checkpoint. The VM state of Primary VM and Secondary VM is identical right after a VM checkpoint, but becomes different as the VM executes till the next checkpoint. COLO is more of a Fault Tolerance solution, Both primary VM (PVM) and secondary VM (SVM) are run in parallel. They receive the same request from client, and generate response in parallel too. If the response packets from PVM and SVM are identical, they are released immediately. Otherwise, a VM checkpoint (on demand) is conducted. There's an academia paper in SOCC 2013: http://www.socc2013.org/home/program.
In this talk, we will present the latest progress from Fujitsu, Intel and Huawei.

SL[AUO]B: Kernel Memory Allocators for Smaller Objects - Christoph Lameter

An introduction to the design and ideas behind the 3 small object memory allocators in the Linux kernel. SLAB is the original memory allocator based on ideas also used for Solaris. SLOB is a based K&R allocator originating even further in the past. SLUB is an allocator written for minimal queuing focusing on low instruction overhead in the fast paths instead.

Slab allocators are providing basic memory allocation to kernel code. Often these allocations may occur in performance sensitive code (especially in the network and storage layer). Kernel performance is significantly affected by the slab allocators architecture and features. The talk provides an overview of the slab allocator services available in the Linux kernel and covers the most frequent use cases. Also includes a discussion of current issues and a roadmap of development in the past and into the future.

What Is Suspend-To-Idle and How to Make It Work - Rafael J. Wysocki, Intel

Generally, suspend-to-idle is a system suspend variant whose last stage is to leave processors in idle states instead of taking them offline (except for one) and calling platform-specific code or firmware to turn off whatever is still drawing power. Although the idea is rather straightforward, implementing it in practice turned out to be quite challenging. In paticular, it involved reworking system wakeup interrupts handling in the IRQ subsystem and adding support for quiescing timers and suspending timekeeping from within the kernel's idle loop. Doing that work allowed developers to extend their understanding of some issues related to system suspend and will hopefully result in better support for that feature overall going forward. I will discuss the work on implementing support for efficient suspend-to-idle that has been in progress since the early 2013 and the lessons learned from it.

cgroup Support for Writeback - Tejun Heo, Facebook

cgroup's support for IO resource provision was missing a major piece - the block layer couldn't tell to which cgroup a given writeback IO should be attributed. All non-direct write IOs generated through write(2) and dirtied mmap pages were charged against the root cgroup defeating the purpose of IO provisioning. cgroup is finally growing writeback support which will not only improve IO provisioning but also make memory provisioning behave correctly with respect to the IO pressure in the cgroup.

nfs-ganesha and Clustered NAS : Scale Out Your Storage - Anand Subramanian, Red Hat

In this session we will discuss some important aspects in using the extensible user-space NFS server nfs-ganesha to scale out your storage needs. Nfs-ganesha supports NFSv3,v4,v4.1,v4.2 and pNFS. It also has an easily pluggable architecture called FSAL (File System Abstraction Layer) which enables seamless integration with many filesystem backends (GlusterFS, Ceph, GPFS, Lustre, XFS etc.). We will take a detailed look at the newly introduced CMAL (Cluster Manager Abstraction Layer) allows nfs-ganesha to operate in clustered mode and integrate with a variety of Cluster Managers, allowing for a flexible Clustered NAS solution with multi-head NFS configuration (active-active), distributed lock manager and recovery. We will also look at the example of nfs-ganesha and GlusterFS integration as a clustered storage solution and an open source pNFS solution.

Accelerated Data Processing on SoC with FPGA - Marek Vašut, DENX Software Engineer

Accelerated data processing used to be dominated by SoCs with GPUs in the embedded segment. Recently, an exciting combination of SoC with FPGA became available from both major FPGA vendors. In this talk, Marek will explain the pros and cons of using the embedded FPGA instead of the GPU for computationaly-heavy tasks which cannot be handled by the CPU. Since communicating with the FPGA and transporting data between the FPGA and memory requires a non-trivial software infrastructure, which can introduce unexpected performance surprises, different approaches to this task will be explained. In the end, Marek will present the possibility of accelerating OpenCL kernels on the FPGA.

CRIU in Safety Systems - Sungho Kim, Hitachi

While Checkpoint-Restart is mostly used to realize zero down-time redundancy, maintaining quorum could be another use case for industrial safety systems requiring redundancy and voting feature. Especially, voting needs proper quorum to judge safety in those systems. Therefore, whenever faulty node exist, new node is required to be added to keep proper quorum without stopping the system. In this presentation, Sungho KIM will share the use case of Linux Checkpoint-Restart functionality, CRIU, in application of safety systems and discuss feature enhancement from view points of Real-time. To copy the processing state of running node to new node joining to the quorum, CRIU will provide some solutions. However, copying process tends to impact on real-time of running nodes. Here, possible problems applying CRIU in this case and the way to avoid the problems are to be explained in a detail way.

Power Efficient Idle Injection - Jacob Pan, Intel

While optimizing for performance are common, many use cases demand just the the opposite: injection of idle cycles. The motivations for doing so range from power capping, thermal management, pay-per-use, and real-time throttling. Idle injection mechanisms are also diversified and provide uneven results in terms power efficiency, performance and user experience impact.

This talk focuses on the power awareness aspect of idle injection, helping audience to connect the kernel mechanism with the underlining hardware. Bridge the understanding of idle cycles vs idle states, scheduling workload vs. hardware coordination, and power saving vs. CPU topology.

Controlling the Cost of Your First Cloud - Tim Mackey, Citrix

Today everyone is talking about clouds, and some are building them, but far fewer are operating successful clouds. In this session we'll examine a variety of paradigm shifts must IT make when moving from a traditional virtualization and management mindset to operating a successful cloud. For most organizations, without careful planning the hype of a cloud solution can quickly overcome its capabilities and existing best practices can combine to create the worst possible cloud scenario -- a cloud which isn't economical to operate, and which is more cumbersome to manage than a traditional virtualization farm. Key topics covered will include; transitioning the operational paradigm, the impact of VM density on operations and network management, and preventing storage cost from outpacing requirements.

Speed-up perf Tools Using Multi-Thread - Namhyung Kim, LG

The linux perf tools is a modern way of profiling system performance with hardware and/or kernel support. However, on a large profiling session, it could take a long time to analyze the data during report time because it processes the data in a single thread. Since most of those analysis can be partitioned for each cpu or thread, it can make use of multi-threading to speed up the processing.

In this talk, Namhyung will look at the internals of perf tools and changes required to support parallel processing during his work.

Tales from the OpenStack's Gate: How Debugging the Gate Helps Your Enterprise - Matthew Treinish, OpenStack

OpenStack is incredibly complex with tons of moving parts. As part of the community's integration system, often called the gate, we run tests against a running OpenStack cloud. However, sometimes things fail for reasons unrelated to the patch being tested. These failures, often called "flakey failures" by developers, are normally an exposure of interesting timing problems in OpenStack and they can often be very tricky to debug. However, we've found that almost all of these issues and the difficulty in debugging them also apply to real deployments. This talk will go over the mechanics of debugging gate failures. As part of the discussion comparisons will be drawn to show how similar the process of debugging gate failures is to production OpenStack issues. To reinforce that anything we see in the gate most likely is being dealt with by users and operators.

Appification of Everything - Philip DesAutels, Linux Foundation

Predicted by Gartner to add $1.9 trillion to the global economy by 2020, the Internet of Everything is based on the idea that devices, systems and services will connect in simple, transparent ways, enabling seamless interactions among devices across brands and sectors. But as this vision unfolds, it is clear that no single company can accomplish the level of interoperability required to support the horizontal sectors of the Internet of Things (IoT). The AllSeen Alliance was formed with the goal to advance adoption and drive interoperability via cross-industry, collaborative development of an open source software framework called AllJoyn.

AllJoyn makes it easy for devices and apps to discover and communicate with one another securely regardless of brand, transport, platform or operating system. The members of the AllSeen Alliance and the open source community are working together to advance AllJoyn as the simple and open technology that connects billions of ‘things’ together in one ecosystem – from home and automotive to enterprise and industrial sectors.

But the most valuable promise of the Internet of Everything is its ability to evolve user interactions with all the ‘things’ within this vast ecosystem. Applications are what transform a smart device into an experience for the user. In this talk, AllSeen Alliance senior director of IoT, Philip DesAutels will discuss the Appification of Everything – the idea that applications turn the IoT from a buzzword to a transformative user experience that can be customized into useful, real-world scenarios.

THIS TALK HAS CHANGED TIMES AND ROOMS. IT IS NOW BEING HELD AT 2:00PM IN THE CATTLEYA ROOM (Take Elevator By Soleil Room to 5th Floor)

Patent expiration makes old technologies, such as the SuperH processor, interesting again. The last patent on sh2 (used in the Sega Saturn) expired in october 2014, and the last sh4 (dreamcast) patent expires in 2016. This lets us leverage existing kernel, toolchain, and
userspace support on now royalty-free hardware. We've implemented a cleanroom sh2-compatible processor design called "j2" with basic peripherals (serial, ethernet, mmc) in an FPGA, booted current Linux on it using existing open source toolchains, and released the VHDL under a BSD license. (For our next trick we're adding SMP support and a dozen DSPs, and manufacturing some ASIC versions.)

Rather than being constrained by the size of the data set, developers could focus on defining the key bits of intelligence they were seeking to find from an almost infinite data pool. While this opened up all kinds of new analysis, it also created a new set of problems — most notably dealing with the complexity of stringing together map reduces and creating end to end programming logic from multiple steps.

Sheepdog is Ready: Distributed Block Storage is Turning From Experiment to Commercial Use - Teruaki Ishizaki, NTT Labs

Sheepdog enables to make a scalable and reliable storage system with using IA servers. Sheepdog provides many access heads, Qemu, iSCSI, ObjectStorage, Cloud Systems use it as a unified storage. Sheepdog has been developed for improving reliability and stability. So we can use Sheepdog for more critical systems and now is ready for commercial use! In this talk, the recent results of development are presented. Remarkable results are:

iSCSI multipath: Sheepdog has introduced the algorithm for managing state of tgtd's connections. Now iSCSI multipath with active-backup is supported and tgtd isn't a SPOF.
Improved GC implementation: Sheepdog couldn't track complicated snapshot relations, so data objects of deleted volumes sometimes remained falsely. Now disk consumption of deleted volume are dramatically reduced.

In addition, performance tests with SSD are presented.

Exciting Developments in Linux Tracing - Elena Zannoni, Oracle

Tracing in Linux today has become quite main stream. Linux has come a long way from when the first attempt to insert tracing infrastructure and tools in the kernel tree was made several years ago. But where are we now? While existing tools are being refined and more sophisticated features are added to them, there are still fundamental areas where improvement is happening and exciting new approaches are surfacing, such as using the BPF (Berkeley Packet Filtering) infrastructure for tracing purposes, for instance. This talk is a new and revised version of my previous tracing talk with specific emphasis on new developments as opposed to providing an overview of the field.

FloatingIP Enhancement for Public Cloud Infrastructure - Yushiro Furukawa, Fujitsu

In a public cloud environment, floating IP is used for VM's IP address. If a VM needs the Internet access, global IPs are used as floating IP. In the situation, however, there's something to improve with the current floating IP mechanism.

In a typical public cloud environment, there're some network hardware that are connected to the external network. With the current floating IP mechanism, global IP is required for each hardware, which can be considerable waste.
VM instances that have a floating IP can access the network hardware, which may be a concern for the cloud provider.

In this presentation, we propose an enhancement for Neutron as a solution for both of them.

A Tracing Technique for Understanding the Behavior of Large-Scale Distributed Systems - Yuichi Bando, NTT

Debugging or troubleshooting large-scale distributed systems is difficult due to its complexity; a single request may trigger the execution of hundreds of components running in parallel on many different machines. To help developers or operators gain deeper knowledge about the behavior of their distributed systems, Yuichi Bando proposes a tracing method that can be applied to their applications simply by slightly modifying an existing RPC library. This tracing helps them know a flow of processing and find performance bottlenecks. He implemented it to Eventlet, RPC library widely used in OpenStack project, and also started to discuss with Eventlet community in order for this feature to be included in Eventlet.

In this talk, he will demonstrate the tracking of swift, OpenStack object storage, as an example. In addition, how to visualize the trace data and the overhead will be reported.

Development for Fully-Automated Bare Metal Provisioning in OpenStack - Hironori Shiina, Fujitsu

Demands for bare metal provisioning is increasing in cloud computing. Ironic project provides bare metal provisioning in OpenStack. With Ironic, users can do bare metal provisioning in the same manner of VM provisioning. However, there're some features needed for fully automated bare metal provisioning. Today, Ironic needs manual operation in the following steps.

Once a bare metal instance is deployed, enabling network communication between VM instances and the bare metal instance requires a manual operation on physical network switches to which the bare metal instance is connected.
Also, isolating network between bare metal instances in different tenants requires a manual operation on physical network switches.

In this presentation, we propose solutions to automate these operations. We set up physical switches using SDN controllers when a bare metal instance is deployed.

Converting Existing Installed OS and Applications to Docker - Marc Merlin, Google

Google has been using the same shared server image between the booting OS and the applications that runs in containers. Container solutions like docker were designed to let you run an application on a vanilla OS image. This is great if you want to totally decouple a new application from the underlying OS. This is not great if you don't want to have to maintain 2 operating systems (the host one and the container one) if you already have well customized OS, and if you simply want to run some existing applications in a container. This gives you the security benefit from resource/disk/network separation between untrusted applications and the rest of your operating system without having to start from scratch with a base OS and lots duplicate packages between the container and the host OS. More importantly this lets you switch existing working applications to a state where half their functionality (like the web facing portion with untrusted php code) runs in a read only container, while the backend that needs access to local disk and network resources, run outside the container, and post the data to a filesystem that is only read only in the container but sufficient for serving results.

You also benefit from completely controlling the container image and not relying on an image retrieved from the internet that may not be trustworthy by reusing the exact same OS image inside and outside the container, also minimizing upgrade time and cost.

My talk will show how to use docker to achieve those goals and get a chance to containerize applications that you probably wouldn't get around to run in containers otherwise

This presentation proposes an additional layer for Poky - meta-debian. meta-debian provides functions and meta data to generate customized Debian only by putting the layer into Poky build system without modifying original meta data. This is an example of Poky extension. Our purpose is to provide tiny and easy customizable Debian to embedded system because we'd like to use Debian's long term supported sources and make a contribution to that project.

OpenPOWER Technology Innovation - Paul Mackerras, IBM

The OpenPOWER Foundation, announced by Google, IBM, Mellanox, NVIDIA and Tyan in August 2013, is an open and global development alliance based on IBM's POWER microprocessor architecture. Now, more than 110 members have joined and many innovative technologies are being developed. Linux and other open-source software plays a major role in the OpenPOWER ecosystem. IBM has open-sourced the initialization and boot firmware for POWER8 machines, making it possible to construct a server-class machine where the whole software stack from the operating system down to the first
instruction executed at power-on, is entirely open source. This session will highlight two OpenPOWER technologies of particular interest to developers. The first is the integration of NVIDIA GPUs into POWER systems, together with CUDA integration provided by IBM Java. The second, CAPI, allows us to integrate a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)
into a POWER8 system, allowing computational functions programmed into the FPGA to be accessed directly from a user-space process without operating system overhead. These technologies enable application developers to obtain outstanding performance at low cost for programs that handle large data arrays. These technologies are already close to you for next generation Linux software and systems.

Stacked Vlan in Linux: with Report from Netdev 0.1 - Toshiaki Makita, NTT

Since 802.1ad vlan protocol was introduced in 2013, stacked vlan (double vlan tags) has been getting common on Linux. It can be used not only inside a data center network, but also in integrating Linux into Ethernet VPN, e.g. Metro Ethernet, which often consists of 802.1ad switches. However, there still remains a couple of challenges related to performance and usability. This presentation will give an overview of stacked vlan and its issues, and how they are being addressed. As this topic is discussed in the new Linux networking conference, Netdev 0.1, this presentation also gives a report of related topics on state-of-the-art technologies presented in Netdev.
