SUMMARY:Minneapolis/St. Paul Regional CMG Meeting Mainframe – Still Innovated at Any Age
DESCRIPTION:Date:                 Thursday September 22\, 2022 \nTime:                1:00 PM – 4:00 PM  \nLocation:          Sirius Computer Solutions Inc \nAddress:           7760 France Avenue S.  – Meeting on 2nd Floor Bloomington\, MN  \nThe meeting is open to anyone who would like to attend. Cost:  n/c \n Register Here\n \n\nAgenda:\n1:00 – 1:15            Welcome / Business Meeting – CMG Board  \n1:15 – 2:00            What did you do about the IBM/MLC 5% increase and some negotiation tips? – Brian Hoare  \nAbstract:  In January 2022 IBM increased IBM/MLC by 5%. In January 2023\, the same increase will occur again – another 5%. Guess what\nwill happen in 2024? \nThis will get worse\, especially if you have a CPI increment inserted in your IBM agreements. CPI so far this year is 8.5%.  So\, a 5% IBM/MLC increase and a CPI increase.  This could be a big price increase – ouch! Have you considered how you can offset these cost increases? \nThis discussion will suggest ways to offset the 5% and ways to negotiate with IBM and other ISV’s. \n2:00 – 2:15             Break sponsored by Sirius  \n2:15 – 4:00            “z16\, AI security\, Containers” – Ray Kilgore\, Sr. Solutions Architect \n4:00 – 6:00            Onsite Happy Hour – Sociable on 14th floor \n

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Predicting carbon footprint for Cloud Data Platforms
DESCRIPTION:Differences in architecture\, scalability\, the efficiency of optimizer plans\, and workload management of Cloud data platforms all directly impact the power consumption and carbon emissions associated with running workloads in the cloud. \nGartner predicts that by 2025\, the carbon emissions of Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) will be one of the top criteria in cloud purchase decisions. Even if the providers claim to be carbon neutral (because they pay the offsetting taxes)\, Cloud customers care about the efficiency with which their workloads execute in the cloud. Gartner expects carbon footprint measurement technologies to see significant adoption as organizations broaden their focus to all emission types and increase reporting transparency. Ignoring carbon emissions during Cloud data platform selection will affect the carbon footprint and the company’s sustainability. \nThe power consumption and carbon footprints of Cloud data platforms depend on both software and hardware performance\, based on the resource consumption profiles of each business workload. \nDuring this webinar\, we will review a methodology that we use to predict the following: \n● the minimum cloud data platform configuration needed to support business Service Level Goals (SLGs) and\n● project the power consumption and carbon footprints for complex\, small and medium complexity Data Warehouses\nThe methodology we use is then illustrated using case studies of the Vantage\, Snowflake and Redshift platforms in an AWS environment. A similar approach can be applied to other cloud data platforms and CSPs. \n  \nYou Will Learn\n● Workload characterization in Cloud environments\n● Predicting the minimum configuration needed to meet SLGs for all workloads\n● How to estimate the power consumption and carbon emission by business workloads in cloud environment \n  \nGeared To\n● Enterprise /cloud architect\n● Decision recommenders/decision makers \n  \nPresenter\nDr. Boris Zibitsker is the founder and CEO of BEZNext. He focuses on developing cloud performance and financial optimization software to assist with cloud migration and dynamic capacity management in Hybrid Multi-Cloud environments. He is a member of SPEC Research Group. Boris consults with many Fortune 500 companies.\nPrior to founding BEZNext Boris was a CTO of Modeling and Optimization at Compuware. He participated in developing Machine Learning algorithms for performance and availability anomaly detection\, problems prediction and root cause determination for internet and web applications.\nDr. Zibitsker was a Founder and Chairman of BEZ Systems\, where he managed the development of capacity management software for DB2\, Teradata\, Oracle\, and SQL Server. Compuware acquired the company in 2010.\nDr. Zibitsker was an Adjunct Associate Professor at DePaul University in Chicago. He was teaching three graduate courses on the modeling of computer systems and networks. He taught DB2 performance and capacity management seminars for the Relationship institute.\nDr. Zibitsker is a co-founder of the Computer Systems Institute in Chicago.\nBoris taught seminars and presented many papers at conferences around the world. During the last eight years\, he has been a co-chair of the International Conference on Big Data Advanced Analytics in Minsk Belarus.\nBoris is an Honorable Doctor at BSUIR\, Minsk\, Belarus \n  \n Register Here\n \n

SUMMARY:SESSION 1: Pushing Code? Don’t Forget to Flag Your Canaries
DESCRIPTION:Reliability is multifaceted. Your approach to releases plays a part in that. It’s smart to think forward. What’s impacted? What will change? Canary releases\, or phased rollouts\, allows you to better manage the release lifecycle and understand any impact to reliability. Iteration and canarying is more involved than traditional big releases. You need to look at the code being deployed and flag everything that comprises each new feature. You’ll also need to tag groups of users.

SUMMARY:CMG in Boston presents :: Monthly Roundtable: SRE\, Performance and Scalability in the age of the Cloud
DESCRIPTION:Please join CMG in Boston for this IN PERSON roundtable on SRE\, Performance\, and Scalability in the Age of the Cloud. \nDuring this event\, we will hear two presentations on  Reliability/SRE and Chaos Engineering. There will be food and refreshments thanks to our sponsor\, Blameless. \n  \n \n  \nSession #1 \nPushing Code? Don’t Forget to Flag Your Canaries\nReliability is multifaceted. Your approach to releases plays a part in that. It’s smart to think forward. What’s impacted? What will change? Canary releases\, or phased rollouts\, allows you to better manage the release lifecycle and understand any impact to reliability. Iteration and canarying is more involved than traditional big releases. You need to look at the code being deployed and flag everything that comprises each new feature. You’ll also need to tag groups of users. And instead of one big release\, you do several smaller releases where more groups of users receive more features each time. \nIn this talk you’ll learn: – Why you should consider an iterative canarying approach to releases – Knowing when it’s safe to expand and iterate – Understanding how users rely on your services to find the ideal groups to canary Your reliability plan should comprise these parts. Learn the agile way. \nSPEAKER: Hammad Mushtaq Engineering Manager As an Engineering Manager that has led teams ranging from mobile to web to cloud\, Hammad is continuously working to ensure we are delivering value to our customers while maintaining high standards for reliability. \n  \nSession #2 \nChaos Engineering: Analysis and Tools\nChaos Engineering has become important as environments get more complex and its relationship with Performance Engineering. In this talk  I will present Chaos engineering concepts\, tools and discuss a Case Study on how to apply these tools in a complex environment. \nSPEAKER: Mohit Verma –  Performance/APM/CLOUD/Technology Engineering Leader/GURU with 20+ years of technology experience \n\n

SUMMARY:Reliability is a Team Sport. Let’s Practice! - Peer Forum
DESCRIPTION:CMG Peer forums are an opportunity for technology practitioners to meet and discuss relevant topics with their peers. \n\n\nReliability is a Team Sport. Let’s Practice! \nOf course\, reliability is important. Customers depend on certain behaviors when using your product or service.  \nMeanwhile\, DevOps teams are under the strain of managing releases at a higher velocity\, while maintaining production health and keeping everything running as expected.  \nYep\, that good ole Reliability charter we all aim for is not easy to reach.   \nThis Q&A style session probes into reliability definitions and how that can evolve over time\, by org size and maturity. We will dive into important questions about which part is the most important at the outset and interdependencies. What must you get right in order to lay a solid foundation as the team and company grows.  \nOur guest Jason draws on his years of experience working with customers large and small during his New Relic days\, and more recently with Blameless. Matthew draws on years of working closely with teams to activate reliability platforms and solutions tailoring runbooks and incident management steps. \n \n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nJoin us for our Site Reliability Engineering-themed peer forum on June 21st! \nOur host for this session is Blameless\, the end-to-end SRE platform that optimizes service reliability with SLOs\, and error budgets. \nAttendance is limited to 25 registrants a more intimate experience. \n\n\n\n\n  \nRegister on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sre-peer-forum-june-21-tickets-316839524547

SUMMARY:Faster: How to Optimize a System - An Author Webinar
DESCRIPTION:CMG member Cary Milsap has published his book\, Faster: How to Optimize a System\, to help others with one of a technologists most challenging problems. Join us February 24th to hear from Cary and learn more! \n  \nRegister! \n  \nAbout Faster: How to Optimize a System: \nMaking things faster is about making things better. Making life better. The faster your tools can work\, the more time you have for doing the things you want to be doing. If your tools help you process information\, then the faster they work\, the better decisions you can make. \nOptimizing—whether a computer\, or a plow\, or anything in between—requires two separate skill sets: one\, asking the right questions; and two\, of course\, answering those questions. Most people who think about optimizing are well aware of this second skill set. Fewer seem aware of the first one. But this first one—the mere act of asking the right questions—is the skill you need to develop first\, especially if you’re a leader. You might be surprised at how quickly you’ll be able to learn it. \nThere’s a problem\, though. The questions I’ll teach you to ask are simple. But anyone who’s ever met an inquisitive child knows that simple questions aren’t always easy to answer. For example\, the people who look after your company’s computer may know exactly what the system’s CPU utilization looks like at 2:00 p.m. on a given Friday\, but they may not be able to answer how long it takes a clerk to enter an order. There’s a mismatch between the answers they’ll want to give and the questions you’ll want to ask. This mismatch itself hides opportunities to make things faster. I’ll teach you how to find them. \nOptimizing is often more political than technical. It’s curious\, then\, that books about optimizing are almost always only technical. It’s easy for technical people to regard the non-technical elements of a project as unnecessary and maybe even ridiculous disruptions. But the fact is\, the non-technical aspects of optimizing require understanding and effort\, just like the technical aspects do. To optimize something\, sometimes you have to confront the monsters created by panic and fear\, in addition to being productive technically. A strong track record of successes will help you win debates about what to do next\, but you’ll never be able to create that track record without exercising some political savvy. \nMy goal with this book is to help you improve both kinds of skills: the asking and the answering\, the political and the technical. The payoff potential is huge. When you understand both the science of performance and the art of navigating the desires and emotions of the people who care about it\, then you can optimize anything. \nAbout Cary \nCary Millsap spent the 1990s learning a lifetime’s worth of lessons about software performance as a consultant for Oracle Corporation. In his ten years at Oracle\, he personally helped over a hundred customers\, and he created an elite 85-person team who have helped hundreds more. \nCary left Oracle in 1999 to start a family and a new company. He spent the next two decades teaching\, consulting\, writing software\, and being there for some of the best baseball and volleyball games ever played. \nIn three decades\, he has educated thousands of IT professionals through his commitment to writing\, teaching\, and speaking at public events. His new book\, Faster: How to Optimize a System\, is for anybody who is curious about performance and how to improve it.
