Working in the Cloud By Simon Murcott , Solnet Solutions. He specialize in: DevOps, Unix systems, security, scripting, software development, systems integration etc..
He described about, how cloud environments are being used by modern businesses. He also walked us through, what it is like to be a cloud provider and other aspects of working in IT that are not development related. Many options are available for an IT career other than being a developer. He explored the daily life (and differences between) a developer, infrastructure engineer, middleware specialist, integration engineer and product specialist. It was very insightful.
He spoke about :
- FreeBSD is an advanced computer operating system used to power modern servers, desktops and embedded platforms.
- OpenStack Open source software for creating private and public clouds. OpenStack software controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, managed through a dashboard or via the OpenStack API. OpenStack works with popular enterprise and open source technologies making it ideal for heterogeneous infrastructure.
- Mule is a lightweight enterprise service bus (ESB) and integration framework. The platform is Java-based, but can broker interactions between other platforms such as .NET using web services or sockets.
- Docker is an open-source project that automates the deployment of applications inside software containers, by providing an additional layer of abstraction and automation of operating-system-level virtualization on Linux. It can be integrated into various infrastructure tools, including Amazon Web Services, Chef, Google Cloud Platform, IBM Bluemix,Microsoft Azure, OpenStack Nova,Puppet, Vagrant etc.
Best way to understand these tools is play around with it. I am gonna start with playing around with AWS. Thanks to the Abletech team for sharing how to deploy static websites to Amazon. Build a static website with AWS.
