Happy Easter Think2018!

HAPPY EASTER THINK2018!



I spent a full week to recover myself from time zone change, my baby in the first three night woke me up because he want to sleep with me. Was really hard to recover myself this time but I'm really happy and honored to attend this great event.

It's clear at Think the most important aspects are:

  1. AI
  2. Data Management
  3. Security
From my point of view Security is always first but AI and good Data Management can help Security as well.
We don't forget an important topic:
  • Cloud
without Cloud is difficult to take the advantage of AI and Data Management services if you are a small medium company, and now we are ready to step into this new era!
From my perspective ( most technical ) I attended most of the cloud sessions and labs. 

I was honered to meet in my 1 to 1 executive meeting Daniel Berg, we discussed about the important role of Cloud Native in modernize customer Application and Infrastructure also he shared some lessons learned in the past years in his amazing journey.



Note, I use the term "journey" because cloud native is a always learning trip, is something of new and we don't be scared about fail, because fail is an important part of your "learning journey"!
A big kudos to Lin Sun and the amazing work she is doing on Istio, I really enjoyed Istio Lab ( my favorite lab in all IBM event I attended  ), if you are lucky to meet her you can feel how she is knowlegable and committed in her work.

Finally another two kudos, first kudos is for Hertz story, I was affascinated by this customer because was deeply engaged with IBM Cloud Garage team in learn and modernize in respect of the business needs, I hope IBM spreading this story!
Last kudos but always important, IBM Champion round table discussion, ideal to learn and share, my favorite round table not only for the topic but for the people attended was the node-red table.

Special thanks to Libby Ingrassia and other Champion Manager Comitee ( Alan Hamilton, Sarah Cogley and more.. ) to make it possible!


MY NEXT STEP AFTER THINK2018

Continue my learning journy on IBM Cloud Private and mix some node-red things learned! ( thanks John Jardin )

IBM and Red Hat long story, long love, now married!

Most of the people thinking about opensource they think in my perspective mostly to Red Hat and other company rather than IBM. IBM is really active in opensource for a long time, helped Apache Foundation , Eclipse Foudation collaborate with the Linux Foundation and Red Hat as well. I think I can create a different long post to describe how is active and how helped opensource in different way. We can analyze  this acquisition from different perspective, from Financial to  Development. My personal point of view ( from a Cloud Architect ) most of the application around the world in banking, assurance and not only are java based, think about java in cloud in the past Year could be hard. Right now we can talk about java in the cloud with opensource project like OpenJ9 and OpenLiberty and the community behind. If you think about moving from on premise to cloud or from monolitch to microservice you can't say " well it's time to rework " because you are throwing years o

MY EXPERIENCE @ HYBRID CLOUD SUMMIT IN ZURICH

Image
I can simply say “it was a great experience” and based on the audience probably people can trust me, but let's go deeper into the event. My favorite part of the event was the panel session with cloud discussions and question answer about slides and example presented during the session. Based on discussion the most relevant general questions are: Adoption: best practices on adopting cloud technologies Development: how to develop cloud applications in the right way and how we can enable fresh people into this great world IBM and Forrester gave a lot of answers because there are different aspects and factors we need to cover when we talk about cloud development and adoption, let me share some of these: Security: 12 factor principle is the main manifesto to follow Digital Experience: in cloud you need to create applications user centric Performance: in cloud you need to give best experience to the end user in every part of the world Microservice: rework of the legacy

Kubernetes Persistent Volumes and Claims

In a distrubuted system, storage isn't simple to manage without a good abstraction, kubernetes offer an object called persistent volume to let pod to reclaim storage for persisting data. In the pod definition you can define your volume type with another object called persistentVolumeClaim where you can define type size and many other things. There are different phase in the persistent storage lifecycle: Provisioning : when an administrator create a Persistent Volume or a cloud resource dynamically request Binding : when a PVC is created  k8s control loop watch if there are Persisten Volume matching the PVC  and bind them together. Use : when the bound volume is mounted in to the pod Releasing : whene the POD is done and an API request is sent to delete the related bound PVC, the volume in this stage remains Reclaim : there are three options related to this state: - Retain:  keep data interact and allow an administrato to handle data from storage - Delete:  tells the volume
