DevOps

As developers, we're constantly trying to improve the way we build systems and work as a team. Agile, DevOps, and Lean are all frameworks to help us be better developers and write better systems, but it still seems to be a constant struggle. Commander Chris Hadfield is a bona fide astronaut, test pilot, and rocket scientist, and he commanded the International Space Station for 3 months, making waves back on earth with his cover of Bowie’s Space Oddity. On returning, he wrote a book about everything he learned on his journey to becoming an astronaut. You’d be surprised by how much of it applies to application development. Application development should be easy—it ain't rocket science. In this session, you'll learn: - How Russia represents DevOps and Lean development, while America represents the waterfall method - How to create robust systems by thinking, “What could kill me next?” - How astronauts make amazing teams, and how to apply that in our own environments.

We know how to code. We know how to test. But all too often, we’re disjointed in bringing our applications to life in production. In this practical session based on the lessons showcased in the Summit middleware keynote, we’ll walk through both the concepts and software that lets developers push to production with confidence. Join the Developer Experience Engineering team as we give you a chance to quickly get started with a full deployment pipeline for new applications, focusing on: * Testability as a first-class citizen * Using the cloud as an extension of your local development environment * Reviewing your changes in isolation in a production-like environment * A smooth merge process to get your changes upstream * Getting your stuff live, reliably and efficiently See how we brought everything to life on the big stage during the middleware keynote and take some lessons home to try yourself.

Scale changes everything. What once was quite adequate for enterprise messaging can't scale to support "Internet of Things". We need new protocols, patterns and architectures to support this new world. This session will start with basic introduction to the concept of Internet of Things. Next it will discuss general technical challenges involved with the concept and explain why it is becoming mainstream now. Now we’re ready to start talking about solutions. We will introduce some messaging patterns (like telemetry and command/control) and protocols (such as MQTT and AMQP) used in these scenarios. Finally we will see how Apache ActiveMQ is gearing up for this race. We will show tips for horizontal and vertical scaling of the broker, related projects that can help with deployments and what the future development road map looks like.

Docker is awesome, but how to use it well when doing Java development ? In this talk you will get a quick introduction on how to use Docker effectively, especially for Java EE development. We will show how the recent release of Eclipse Mars supports Docker to make it even more integrated into your day-to-day work from within your IDE. In particular, you'll see how you can pull and run an image for a database, build a custom image for an application server, run it and deploy a JavaEE application using data volume, exposed ports and container links. And more !

Fabric8 is an integration and management platform adding to the Java developer's perspective of Kubernetes and OpenShift. It consists of multiple parts. Fabric8 tooling helps tremendously in deploying Java applications on Kubernetes and OpenShift by creating all the complex deployment descriptors directly from a Java build. In addition, fabric8 contains a rich set of DevOps Microservices which provides a flexible and automatedsetup for a Continous Integration and Delivery pipeline on a per project basis. It also includes an integration-Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS) centered around Camel and ActiveMQ with rich visualisations and one click installations. But the queen of fabric8 is its web console which allows for a rich user experience for managing Kubernetes services, pods and more. With this in place even complex setups can be easily managed. This talk provides an overview over all these components and shows how the pieces fit together.

(Part 1)Containers are enabling developers to package their applications in new ways that are portable and work consistently everywhere: on your machine, in production, in your data center, and in the cloud. And Docker has become the de facto standard for those portable containers in the cloud. This lab offers developers an intro-level hands-on session with Docker, from installation to exploring Docker Hub, to crafting their own images, to adding Java apps and running custom containers. This is a BYOL (bring your own laptop) session, so bring your Windows, OS X, or Linux laptop and be ready to dig into a tool that promises to be at the forefront of our industry for some time to come.

Netflix designs our systems and deployment processes to help the service survive both catastrophic events like zone and regional outages and less catastrophic events like network latency and random instance death. This system has previously been described as "dream devops". In our data centers we had monolithic systems and centralized operations. When we moved to the cloud we fully embraced the distributed services and the devops model. Now, with experience, we've uncovered real-world challenges with the devops model and, as a result, have embraced more effective hybrid approaches. More specifically, how do we reconcile local agility and ownership with the achievement of system-wide objectives, such as the overall quality and reliability of large scale distributed environment? Topics will include our software lifecycle from code checkin to automated machine image baking to deployment, monitoring and alerting, and how Netflix uses self service tools to enable our developers to maintain maximum code velocity.

Infinispan is an extremely scalable, highly available, key-value datastore and data grid. The platform is highly flexible and can be deployed in environments ranging from on-premise physical hardware to elastic cloud environments. In this session, we'll demo how to deploy a cross-region Infinispan (JBoss Data Grid) cluster in the Amazon cloud (AWS). We'll cover the challenges faced when deploying a data grid in a single cloud region, as well as how to set up Infinispan x-site replication spanning multiple regions in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). Topics discussed will include: The discovery of Infinispan nodes in a cloud environment. x-site replication across AWS EC2 regions. The new x-site state transfer feature in Infinispan 7. The remote listeners over the HotRod protocol. We'll also review the challenges imposed by the CAP theorem in a single grid in a single region and discuss data consistency challenges and possible solutions in a x-site, cross-region setup.

With microservices, polyglot, and DevOps on the rise, what's happening with testing? Do they increase complexity and make our testing efforts harder? Or do they actually make it easier to write better tests? In this session, we will explore how we can do our testing in this new world, and how the new world can help us test better. Other topics we'll discuss include: NodeJS, DynJS, VertX, Ceylon, or Ruby-orchestrated microservices. System scale testing with different configurations. Database migration and regression testing.

Techniques such as automated builds and testing, continuous integration and continuous deployment allow software to be developed to a high standard and easily packaged and deployed to test environments, resulting in the ability to rapidly, reliably and repeatedly push out enhancements and bug fixes to customers at low risk and with minimal manual overhead. What container-agnostic tools are available for testing, continuous integration and deployment of a Java EE application ? This talk will start with how to package Java EE application “operating environment” such as Operating System, JVM, Database, dependencies, and other configuration in a reusable format, such as Docker. It explains how to replicate the environment for development, testing, staging, and production minimizing the impedance mismatch between them. A quick overview of Arquillian and how it helps in a automated testing across multiple Java EE containers is shown. How functional testing, code coverage, performance and other aspects for going in to production will be discussed. Using Arquillian against Docker containers will be explained as well. Finally, configuring Jenkins for Continuous Integration and setting up deployment pipelines will show how to take an application from push-to-production and achieve almost 100% automation.

Creating a large website that's written in multiple programming languages can be tricky. Enabling it to run continuously is even harder. Join us as we outline how we brought continuous delivery to JBoss Developer (jboss.org), a thousand-page website that's served up as a mix of HTML, JavaScript and CSS and that communicates with a variety of back-end services. We'll talk about challenges we faced and our solutions, including: Sizing a converged infrastructure. Organizational challenges. Testing websites and creating good test environments . Introducing Docker.

How do we get our software out on the Internet of Things (IoT)? Many current deployment practices won’t work. Devices can be occasionally connected, through low-bandwidth networks, but are generally outside of direct control. Manually shuffling around binaries is not an option. Apache ACE is an open source Java provisioning tool that tackles such challenges. This software distribution framework allows you to centrally manage and distribute software components, configuration data, and other artifacts to target systems. In this session, learn how Apache ACE enables you to push out incremental updates and manage numerous devices. We’ll show how to update and extend a fictional car entertainment system using Apache ACE.

Kubernetes has answers to many questions related to clustering and the required low-level networking. When using Kubernetes for real live deployments we need more than those lower-level solutions however. We need things like automated deployments, load balancing for web applications, blue/green deployments and monitoring. This is all possible with Kubernetes when we start to look at Kubernetes as an API. In this talk you will learn to embrace the Kuberentes API and some of the patterns, tools and mechanisms we developed and use around Kubernetes to prepare for production grade deployments.

Docker is not just for deployment. As a developer, there are many ways Docker can make you more productive, regardless of how your app gets deployed. In this session, you'll learn practical strategies for using Docker, including how to: Run unit tests locally in multiple environments with almost no overhead. Make your integration tests easy for anyone to run by distributing them in a Docker image. Simulate advanced network topologies, especially for a service-oriented architecture. Make a Docker image in 5 minutes or less that produces builds from a consistent environment. Isolate database state changes in your test suite by using a pool of disposable containers.
