Automation memory lapse danger : forgetting how to do things after automating everything is one of the major risk. Relearning , making the same mistake again when you need to upgrade / change or worse fix the system after a major breakdown becomes a major challenge.
Dis-aggregating disk : well its all about trade off but slowly the classic storage paradigm is moving away from the current models. However it will take some times until all the different pieces fall into place enabling seamless dis-aggregation. In the mean time the idea is slowly percolating throughout the community.
Mirador : tools for visual exploration of complex datasets
Tokyo Openstack summit 2015 videos : live from the big tent, what is really interesting is that company start talking about scale, HA challenge they are facing. Surprise, not everybody deploy cattle and there is still a lot of pet out there.
Fail at scale : go big fail big.. But most product cannot even fail at "small" ....
Dataflow computers: history and future of this alternative computational model. While the concept seems alien a lot of principle are already used in system such as storm or samza.
PalDB : embeddable write-once key-value store written in Java by LinkedIn crowd. This solution kind of sit between json/file and level/rocksdb [github]
RDMA + HTM : very nice concept, would love to see the extension of HTM to NVM tech in order to close the loop. T His would deliver tremendous speed up capability. But also another type of concurrency model to understand.
Metrics 2.0 : emerging set of conventions, standards and concepts around time series metrics metadata
Openstack at scale at CERN : 5k hypoerisor, 15k VM, up to 1 Millions vm, the scale of the CERN openstack deployment is really what is driving the effort to push openstack beyond its limits.
HEPIX fall 2015 : Hepix is a really interesting workshop as it provide real use case report and experience of large scale IT infrastructure and as time evolved pretty much HPC cloud centric solution.
Awesome AWS : A curated list of awesome AWS libraries, open source repos, guides, blogs, and other resources with a popularity rating system built in :)
Blockchain Consensus Protocols : a little bit of blockchain beyond fintech (but still a lot of fintech in this slidedeck).
Velocity 2015 : speakers slides , lots of very good talks, particularly the sampling strategy for large scale monitoring and breaking stuff to make them more reliable.
Cloud HPC guide : when you want your workload doesn't fit the enterprise definition.
HPC networking trends : while the trend is always for bigger network the interesting aspect is the focus also on improving the MTTI as it currently takes days to recover from failure.
