From a data perspective, enterprise companies like ours have more than a few things in common with Game of Thrones. Hierarchy is the basis of our data organization. In this session, we'll go over how changes impact our data and how we pivot and update our data sets for the new hierarchy, and why we’ve chosen to continue to use this volatile data foundation that will always change. This is for anyone who has had major changes to their data set.

BPF: Next Generation of Programmable Datapath- Thomas Graf, Cisco Systems This session covers lessons learned while exploring BPF to provide a programmable datapath based on BPF and discusses options for OVS to leverage the technology. About Thomas Graf Contributor to OVS, Linux kernel and various other open source projects.

Deterministic Networking for Real-Time Systems (Using TSN) - Henrik Austad, Cisco Systems Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) and Deterministic Networking (DetNet) has its origin in Audio-Video Bridging's (AVB) IEEE standards. This makes it possible to architect a distributed system that almost eliminates the uncertainty of network traffic jitter. In turn, this will allow a real-time system to scale beyond a single unit as it can express requirements to the network itself and trust that traffic will not be dropped or delayed over a certain limit. Since this is a set of open standards, and even more hardware is being made TSN-capable every day, one can use off-the-shelf solutions to build robust systems. This talk will cover what AVB/TSN is, where DetNet is going and how this all fits well with the Linux kernel and the open source model. The main part is the current kernel TSN development, where we are, where we are going and what others are looking at TSN to solve. About Henrik Austad Henrik received his Master's in Engineering Cybernetics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. Since then, he has worked as a web front- and back-end developer, architecting internal systems for malware analysis. Currently doing Linux kernel real-time performance profiling and tuning, low-level audio development and lately, driving the TSN development effort at Cisco Lysaker.

The conference features presentations from developers and end users of Kubernetes, Prometheus, Envoy, and all of the other CNCF-hosted projects Hyperparameter Tuning Using Kubeflow - Richard Liu, Google & Johnu George, Cisco Systems In machine learning, hyperparameter tuning refers to the process of finding the optimal constraints for training models. Choosing optimal hyperparameters can drastically improve the performance of a model, but the search space grows exponentially with the addition of new hyperparameters. A closely related subfield of automated machine learning is neural architecture search (NAS). In recent research, networks generated by NAS algorithms can even outperform handcrafted neural networks. However, like hyperparameter tuning, the process can be time-consuming and expensive. We present Katib - a Kubernetes-native automated machine learning platform for hyperparameter tuning and NAS. Part of the Kubeflow platform, Katib offers a rich set of management APIs in the form of custom resources. We will demonstrate how to configure and run an experiment and compare performance in Katib’s UI dashboard. https://sched.co/NrnY

We would like to thank everyone for attending the first edition of Atmosphere Conference, which was held on the 13th-14th May 2013 in Concordia Design in Poznan. Considering the fact that the event was organised for the first time, we must admit that there was a great number of attendees interested in web scalability and performance. Together with organisers we managed to gather over 200 people. Two tracks of lectures, interviews and thousands of conversations behind the scenes guaranteed a successful conference, which we are proud to be organisers of. We hope that this event has met your expectations and gave you a chance to exchange experience, establish cooperation and meet people with similar interests. The first edition of Atmosphere would not be possible if not a great partners' support. Main Partner was the Allegro Group, which has also helped us create the conference schedule. Gold Sponsors were Akamai Technologies and Cisco Systems, whereas Silver Sponsor was the Dell Company. We would also like to thank our media partners, online services and bloggers who helped us promote the event. Photos, presentations and videos will be available soon on the website. Once again - thank you all for creating the first edition of Atmosphere Conference and see you next year.

Gitopsify Cellular Architecture - Ayush Ghosh & Sergey Sergeev, Cisco Systems, Inc. Building and managing data-intensive microservices applications have their challenges. Cellular architecture & Gitops together help create an independently deployable, manageable, and observable solution. We moved from running multiple expensive non-prod inconsistent environments to testing in production. Weave Flux, Istio, and Crossplane helped us build multi-cloud, multi-cluster declarative environments in minutes. With the new deployment model and custom tooling, devs can get a miniaturized version of the SaaS running on their laptops. The devs can pick and choose which components and versions they want to run locally. The CI/CD metrics have improved dramatically as the integration & E2E tests run against real apps and not mocks. The system spins up real cloud-native solutions for production deployments and falls back to containerized workloads for non-production. Adding support for new regions has come down to days of work from months.

By: Jake Voorhees https://www.youtube.com/jakevoorhees Anya Babbitt is the Founder and CEO of Splitting Fares, Inc. (“SPLT”), an enterprise ridesharing platform changing the way people commute together. Ms. Babbitt is a marketing and brand strategist dedicated to fresh insights, authentic messaging and measurable results in sustainability. An experienced entrepreneur, Anya has founded and grown three successful companies and exited one. Anya Babbitt is not your typical entrepreneur. Number one, she is a women in a tech start-up, number two, she is the CEO and number three she is working in an area (transportation) that is dominated by men. Anya, however, is not concerned about the gender inequality or the odds of success–she is laser focused on changing the way people meet and move in urban environments. As a German immigrant, her great grandfather achieved enough success in the United States that he was able to send his five sons to Princeton Prep School and consequently to Princeton University. As a result, Anya believes that the United States provides the best opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship. She understands and appreciates the supportive environment that allows and encourages her to build and scale her world-changing venture. Anya hopes to inspire other women to pursue entrepreneurship and contribute to creating jobs and socially innovative ventures. Anya has guided SPLT from a small startup in NYC to being chosen for Techstars Mobility 2015 driven by Detroit. Her professional experience spans over 15 years working in the advertising, corporate communications, marketing, product design and sales sector primarily in Boston and New York City, including several years engaged in corporate brand development for multiple brands in domestic and worldwide locations. As a marketing entrepreneur, Anya has successfully provided marketing strategies to such notable institutions and luxury brands as WilmerHale (formerly Hale & Dorr), Trilogy Capital Partners, the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF), Vicomte A., Hermes, Cartier, Bombardier, Fraser Yachts, L’Oreal, Maybach, the Vicente Fox Center of Studies, Library and Museum, Citizens Energy Corporation and the international and domestic Polo Clubs Association. She has led large teams of individuals working under tight deadlines and with large committed budgets. Her ability to plan ahead and execute under pressure allowed her to excel within the closely tied luxury goods market creating clients out of partnership opportunities. Throughout her career she has been engaged in testing the connection between purpose driven leadership and competitive bottom line performance. As a result, her teams have consistently outperformed peers in both growth and profitability. Since 2014, she has devoted her full attention to the emerging field of social and environmental sustainability, launching SPLT. Yale Zhang is a co-founder of Splitting Fares, Inc. Prior to entering the world of entrepreneurship, Yale’s background was in transportation and logistics, focusing on the warehousing and distribution of physical goods around the United States. In his capacity as Vice President of Wintao Global, they secured multi-year software development contracts with major transportation companies including Dynamex, Datatrac, Marc Global (now a subsidiary of RedPrairie). The insight into these transportation entities allowed Yale to leave and in 2007 start Clinical Guard, his first product distribution company, in medical supplies. The company has grown from an initial annual revenue of $400K to now $3M. Later, he started a medical device innovations company, Safe Heart USA, Inc, focused on creating vital signs monitoring hardware that works in coordination with smartphones running Android and iOS. As the CEO of Safe Heart, Yale has overseen the successful commercialization of research from Oxford University, Emory University, the successful raising of grants from the Atlantic Pediatric Device Consortium, and finally, in raising capital to initially fund a newly emerging business venture. Although Yale has achieved a certain level of success with his involvement in medical devices, his primary passion has always been transportation systems, specifically autonomous vehicles. Yale believes that ongoing technology research by many private and public companies will lead to car ownership reduction as vehicles become autonomous. When that happens, extraordinary opportunities arise for people to share vehicles. He joins SPLT with the intent to help change the behavior of people so that they are comfortable with sharing rides with other people so that everyone will be ready when the autonomous vehicle economy arrives.
