DevConf.US 2022 - Talking edge and telco architecture shop

 As previously posted, DevConf.US 2022 is happening as an in person event later this summer from August 18-20 in Boston, MA.

Our team submitted a myriad of talks to showcase our progress over the last year with open technology architectures at scale. This has been hand crafted around a series we call Talking Architecture Shop that allows us to maintain structure in the talks while focusing in on certain collections or areas of architectural use cases.

This last week we got our notifications that two of the talks were accepted, so let's see what we'll be sharing with you next month in Boston. 

OpenShift Commons Dublin - 3 Pitfalls Everyone Should Avoid with Cloud Data (slides)

Today, 23 June 2022, I spoke at the OpenShift Commons event in Dublin. 

It was open to all community participants: users, operators, enterprises, non-profits, educational institutions, partners, and service providers as well as other open source technology initiatives utilized under the hood or to extend the OpenShift platform.

I shared some insights into cloud, public cloud, and the way cloud data is having a huge impact on our organizations. I pointed out three aspects to show how sometimes we are missing a very crucial aspect of our usage (and the cost) of data in the cloud. It's not just about storage, but observability and some of the choices we make when collecting metrics on our cloud applications.

Below you'll find the abstract and slides I used in Dublin and I hope you enjoy them.

OpenShift Commons Dublin - 3 Pitfalls Everyone Should Avoid with Cloud Data

I've been invited to share my insights into cloud data at the upcoming OpenShift Commons event in Dublin, Ireland.

On Thursday, 23 June 2022 I'll be on stage with other community members and customers sharing their stories as they work with OpenShift and other cloud technologies. OpenShift Commons is open to all community participants: users, operators, enterprises, non-profits, educational institutions, partners, and service providers as well as other open source technology initiatives utilized under the hood or to extend the OpenShift platform.

It's a great place to find your community:

• If you are an OpenShift Online or an OpenShift Enterprise customer or have deployed OpenShift on-premise or on a public cloud.
• If you have contributed to the OpenShift Origin project and want to connect with your peers and end-users.
• If you simply want to stay up-to-date on the roadmap and best practices for using, deploying, and operating OpenShift.

Now about that talk I'm going to share with you...

Devoxx UK 2022 - Designing Your Best Architectural Diagrams (video)

 Devoxx UK 2022 conference a week ago has posted recordings of all the sessions. I wanted to share our workshop session on how to start designing your best architectural diagrams

The Devoxx series is well know and I've attended and spoken at multiple sessions for the Belgian version in the past. It's very developer centric with a lot of good depth and knowledgable attendees.

Below you'll find the video recording of this 30 minute session and links to the free online workshop and slides used in this talk.

The Devoxx series is well know and I've attended and spoken at multiple sessions for the Belgian version in the past. It's very developer centric with a lot of good depth and knowledgable attendees.

In London I was presenting a short introduction to our diagram tooling, freely hosted online and here are the introduction slides.

London OpenShift User Group - Talking Architecture Shop

My second trip this year takes me to London for some fun later this week at Devoxx UK 2022 and a chance to speak with our customers at the London OpenShift User Group.

As the official site says, Tuesday 10th May we have a special meeting of the London OpenShift User Group featuring:

• Enterprise Portfolio Architecture - the open source way
• Uncover the genius within your ranks - A live stream of the Keynote presentation from Red Hat Summit in Boston featuring Paul Cormier (President and CEO), Stefanie Chiras (Senior VP) and Matt Hicks (Executive VP)

Below you'll find the slides from my talk.

Portfolio Architecture Examples - Application Development Collection

 

Figure 1: The portfolio architecture process

For a few years now we've been working on a project we have named Portfolio Architectures. These are based on selecting a specific use case we are seeing used in the real world by customers and then finding implementations of that case using three or more products from the Red Hat portfolio.

This basic premise is used as the foundation, but many aspects of open source are included in both the process and the final product we have defined. There is a community, where we share the initial project kickoff with a group of architects and use their initial feedback from the start. We also present the architecture product we've created right at the end before we publish to ensure usability by architects in the field. The final publish product includes some internal only content around the customer projects researched, but most of the content is open and freely available through various open source channels. 

This article is sharing an overview of the product we've developed, what's available to you today in our architecture center, and concludes by sharing a collection of architectures we've published.

DevOpsDays Raleigh 2022 - Talking Architecture Shop (slides)

I've mentioned previously that I had a talk accepted to the DevOpsDays Raleigh 2022 conference this year. 

Today was the day after travel to Raleigh that we got  to chat with a room of super enthusiastic architects.

Thanks for the time and lending us your ears. Below you'll find the talk title and abstract along with the slides for your viewing pleasure.
