SURFsara (previously SARA) operates a High Performance Computing Cloud as a service for Dutch academic use since October 2011. The cloud is offered as IAAS, so the users of the OpenNebula web-interface are academics who control their own virtual clusters, without being IT professionals. We operate a hybrid cloud with 29 nodes totaling 688 cores and 400TB storage. The High Performance and Big Data requirements caused non-obvious design choices and unexpected system behavior. We would like to share our challenges, solutions and user experiences with OpenNebula 3.x and look ahead to the possibilities in OpenNebula 4.0.

The Contrail Virtual Execution Platform (VEP) allows Cloud administrators to manage data centers and monitor the usage of resources. Users can manage their distributed applications on IaaS Cloud providers under the control of Service Level Agreements (SLA). VEP applications are packaged in the standard OVF format and they are deployed inside Constrained Execution Environments (CEE) derived from the SLA, to support the specification of SLA contracts between users and providers. These CEE environments allow to define constraints concerning virtual hardware performance, localization and affinity allowing the administrator to configure the monitoring system in order to feed external SLA enforcement services. VEP integrates elasticity management capabilities which can be controlled by external SLA enforcement services. A resource allocator service is integrated to dispatch the virtual components on the physical resources of the provider in accordance with the SLA terms. The first version of VEP is currently implemented on OpenNebula. This talk presents the implementation of VEP on OpenNebula and discusses some implementation choices such as the resource allocator.

Cloud Computing represents a radical change in the way we organize and use computing resources and storage. The scientific and academic communities face the challenge of not only adapting their procedures to this new paradigm, but also contributing Cloud Computing development and leading its evolution towards open, secure and interoperable computing infrastructures, which will playing a key role in the community clouds paradigm. The Spanish MEGHA initiative promotes and coordinates contributions to cloud computing R&D, education and management made by institutions affiliated with RedIRIS [7] in Spain. In the first phase (2010–2012), MEGHA validated federated cloud platforms using Opennebula and OCCI [10] to streamline the use of cloud technologies among R&E service centers. Representative infrastructure providers (CESCA, CESGA, PIC), middleware providers (OpenNebula, RedIRIS, OSAmI-Commons) and users (UAB, UOC, UM) together with intermediate/identity/brokers resources (RedIRIS) joined efforts to demonstrate the viability of this approach. The results stimulated the development of use cases including e-learning platforms on demand (Learning Apps project), a distributed HPC platform (e-Science), and Virtual Labs (VDI) in a hybrid scenario (Academic services). Next Steps? As next goal, the Spanish research and academic community is working to assess the possibilities of creating a productive Infrastructure Cloud Computing service within member institutions. With this new approach new challenges appear: Federated user authentication and authorization mechanisms. Brokering architecture scenario. Secure VM image distribution and validation. A federated cloud accounting system integrating the accounting records of multiple cloud managers and supporting federated cloud governance. Monitoring and notification of unpredictable changes in availability and readability status. Security Policies and Service Level Agreements (SLA’s).

Creating new nodes in your cloud environment was never as easy. Just a few clicks away system engineers create new virtual machines, assign network environments for them and deploy software components. Viable security engineering has ever been a key task to ensure your data’s confidentiality, integrity, and availibity. While hardening your operating systems and wisely designing you applications, cloud computing introduced a new challenge for engineers who are responsible for security. A breach in the perimeters of one of your central components threatens the overall security of all systems in any environment. The talk discusses predominant attack patterns that system engineers and security officers should consider. The top 10 threats come together with practical suggestions to improve data center security in the cloud.

The complexity of a typical OpenNebula installation brings a special set of challenges on the monitoring side. In this talk, I will show monitoring of a full stack of from the physical servers to storage layer and ONE daemon. Providing an aggregated view of this information allows you see the real impact of a certain failure. I would like to also present a use case for a “closed-loop” setup where new VMs are automatically added to the monitoring without human intervention, allowing for an efficient approach to monitoring the services a OpenNebula setup provides.

What does it takes to bring innovations like private clouds to small and medium enterprises? In the course of this talk we will present our experience in creating a self-service toolkit for creating a complete virtualization and cloud platform based on OpenNebula, as well as our experience gathered in tens of installations of all sizes. From scalable storage (with benchmarks!) to autonomic optimization, we will present what in our view is needed to bring private clouds to everyone, what components and additions we created to better solve our customers’ problems (from replacing industrial control systems to medium scale virtual desktop infrastructures), and why OpenNebula has been chosen over other competing cloud toolkits.

Not surprising then, that issues with Teams calls are among the most common problems users call their helpdesk for. Having in depth insight into everything relevant going on at the user’s device, local network, ISP and Microsoft itself during the call is crucial for good Microsoft Teams Call quality support. To ensure a quick and adequate solution and to ensure your users get the most out of their Microsoft 365. But did you know that ‘bad calls’ are also an excellent indicator of other problems arising? Precisely because it is so noticeable!? Like the canary in the mine, bad calls can be early indicators of problems. Problems that might otherwise not have been noticed for a while but can have a big impact on productivity and satisfaction. Join this session by Christoph Adler to learn how true Microsoft Teams call quality analytics helped other organizations troubleshoot bad calls and identify and fix problems that impacted Teams calls or the use of Microsoft365 in general. See what it can do to keep your users happy and productive! In this session we will cover - Why CQD data alone is not enough to troubleshoot call problems - The importance of attributing call problems to the right call participant - What call quality analytics can do to help you quickly find, fix-, and prevent problems - Why having retrospective detailed insights matters - Real life examples of how others have used Microsoft Teams call quality monitoring to problem shoot problems with their ISP, network, device health and more.

The presentation explores the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) from its inception to its current status in the modern world. The term "artificial intelligence" was first coined by John McCarthy in 1956 to describe efforts to develop computer programs capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. This concept was first introduced at a conference held at Dartmouth College, where programs demonstrated capabilities such as playing chess, proving theorems, and interpreting texts. In the early stages, Alan Turing contributed to the field by defining intelligence as the ability of a being to respond to certain questions intelligently, proposing what is now known as the Turing Test to evaluate the presence of intelligent behavior in machines. As the decades progressed, AI evolved significantly. The 1980s focused on machine learning, teaching computers to learn from data, leading to the development of models that could improve their performance based on their experiences. The 1990s and 2000s saw further advances in algorithms and computational power, which allowed for more sophisticated data analysis techniques, including data mining. By the 2010s, the proliferation of big data and the refinement of deep learning techniques enabled AI to become mainstream. Notable milestones included the success of Google's AlphaGo and advancements in autonomous vehicles by companies like Tesla and Waymo. A major theme of the presentation is the application of generative AI, which has been used for tasks such as natural language text generation, translation, and question answering. Generative AI uses large datasets to train models that can then produce new, coherent pieces of text or other media. The presentation also discusses the ethical implications and the need for regulation in AI, highlighting issues such as privacy, bias, and the potential for misuse. These concerns have prompted calls for comprehensive regulations to ensure the safe and equitable use of AI technologies. Artificial intelligence has also played a significant role in healthcare, particularly highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, where it was used in drug discovery, vaccine development, and analyzing the spread of the virus. The capabilities of AI in healthcare are vast, ranging from medical diagnostics to personalized medicine, demonstrating the technology's potential to revolutionize fields beyond just technical or consumer applications. In conclusion, AI continues to be a rapidly evolving field with significant implications for various aspects of society. The development from theoretical concepts to real-world applications illustrates both the potential benefits and the challenges that come with integrating advanced technologies into everyday life. The ongoing discussion about AI ethics and regulation underscores the importance of managing these technologies responsibly to maximize their their benefits while minimizing potential harms.
