It’s a directory of this year’s most relevant cloud computing technologies.

The report covers:

  • IaaS
  • PaaS
  • Virtualization
  • Cloud operating systems
  • Container management and automation
  • Unikernels
  • DevOps (complete CI/CD, configuration management, logging and monitoring)
  • Software-defined networking (SDN)
  • Software-defined storage

Abstract:

In a very short time cloud computing has become a major factor in the way we deliver infrastructure and services. Though we’ve quickly breezed through the ideas of hosted cloud and orchestration. This talk will focus on the next evolution of cloud and how the evolution of technologies like container (like Docker), microservices the way Netflix runs their cloud) and how hybridization (applications running on Mesos across Kubernetes clusters in both private and public clouds).

Add two parts virtualization, one part orchestration add a little networking shake and pour. Unfortunately cloud computing isn’t that easy but then again not all clouds are the same and tastes may vary. This talk will discuss how the varying open source technologies like OpenStack, Docker, LXC and others can be mixed together to make something that appeals to the needs of a wide variety of users. There’s also no problem in abstaining from building your own cloud but still benefiting from the open source tooling to maximize the benefits of the public cloud.
