 I'm Miss Talia Kaplanian and I'm a junior computer science and viability double major at Boston College And I'm currently working as a quality engineering intern on the central CI and tooling team at Red Hat Today, I'm going to take you through the tale of the open provisioning proof of concept The tale I'm about to share with you is based on a true story and like many true stories that abstract complex moral teachings This one abstracts the project that I had been working on this summer a tool for teams to provision resources using an agile integration methodology leveraging containers apis and distributed integration What is provisioning might you ask? Provisioning is fundamentally the process of setting up IT infrastructure or allocating data and resources and making them available While this definition feels a little technical one might compare the process of provisioning to baking mini cakes with lots of flavors and layers and textures And so our story begins Once upon a time there was a man named Paul Kromier who moved to a town famous for its annual cake day celebration While intentions were pure to celebrate cake and all of its glory the reality of the celebration was quite tragic Everyone in the town wanted to bake their own cake with their own tools and their own unique combinations of flavors and it was a mess Paul thought to himself that this seemed like a lot of unnecessary work To make a new flavor or add new toppings doesn't change the fundamental building blocks of a cake, right? So if everyone in town wanted to bake a cake for cake day, couldn't there be a way to standardize all of those common steps? Paul thought heavily about this when there was suddenly a knock at his front door Paul opened it to find a fire on his doorstep a desperate call to arms no more chaotic cake days But Paul had seen these fliers before Mr. Holloway a freelance baker on the other side of town had been posting Flyers giving speeches in the town square and trying to recruit locals for a machine that he wanted to build that would streamline the baking process Paul hadn't heard of anyone giving in the light of day, but now he was intrigued. So he paid a visit to Mr. Holloway Upon arriving Paul recounted his thought process to Mr. Holloway and found that the both of them were very much on the same page Together they began the process of building this machine The premise being that Paul will be able to choose all of the components of his cake from a set menu of options And the machine would make the cake and return it to Paul Paul would not have to provide any ingredients tools or special notes except for the exact cake that he wanted Mr. Holloway also recommended the use of open-shift metals and gears the best in the world and the only ones that would allow them to host his Order-taking menu software In order to ease the trouble of switching out the machine's internal tools as they became outdated or they broke like ovens and stirring utensils Paul Mr. Holloway used universal adapters to connect to the mainframe of the machine and finally after much hard work the machine was complete Paul and Mr. Holloway took their machine to the town square to present it to everyone as the solution to cake day Paul began his demonstration and selected the components of his cake He chose a three-layer cake vanilla on the bottom with Boston cream on top Followed by darkest chocolate with chocolate ganache raspberries and walnuts and finished with a red velvet tier with vanilla buttercream and shredded almonds The machine word and sputtered and did some magic and out the other side came Paul's cake The crowd was silent Then one voice called out I'm allergic to nuts your machine is useless to me another said I'm gluten-free Does your machine know how to make a gluten-free cake? I don't think so One more said I have sensitive teeth. I need a soft cake. Tell it. I want a soft cake and Many more voices to wind along Paul quickly quieted the crowd and then spoke you're right My machine doesn't support those things But all you have to do to change that and make it work for your cake is to plug in a new tool If you remember Paul and Mr. Holloway used universal adapters so that any tool could be replaced when needed By doing this, however, they were actually able to hit two birds with one stone when someone down the line Wanted to add a new flavor or type of cake all they would have to do is plug in another tool with the universal port Now the story ties directly to the project that I've been working on this summer The cake machine is representative of the open provisioning proof of concept that we're building and all of the features translate directly To the features of our POC Except our machine create system environments for red-hatters with tools like beaker and open stack and will soon be adding even more Functionality through other tools with our easy back-end connection that causes little to no change to the user experience Mr. Holloway is a real person and the actual lead developer in Godfather of this project Paul Cormier is also a real person and if you don't already know he was sadly not a part of the actual POC and unfortunately Cake day is not real But it could be we could have a red-hat cake day. I'm just saying I'm looking at you people team Anyways, thank you all for listening. I hope you enjoyed it If you have any questions or want to learn more about the POC feel free to shoot me an email And I'll happily get back to you or visit our confluence page It was linked in the last slide and you can find the answers to memory your questions there. See you all later Thank you very much Talia. Would you like to come on video and answer any questions? Hello. Hey, that was very well done Excellent presentation. Thank you. I had a lot of fun with it Yeah, it's a very good format. I hadn't seen that done before So does anyone have questions for Talia she is here with us We have 11 folks here your talk gained several people as it went along so it's like I don't know if you're seeing the Chat, but it looks like people really enjoyed your presentation. So I I Appreciate the intern support here It was an excellent job. Thank you. Okay. Well, do you have anything you want to add or anything you want to say? You have a question so Artica Patnik asked how did you think about this idea of presentation? I? I had actually reached out to a number another Person on my team asking for some advice I've had to do a technical presentation. I've never done one before and The two things that he said that really stuck with me were Make sure you tell it like the story like start with the origin of the project and then talk about the different conflicts you went through and then How you resolved it and then he also said to have fun with it. And so I really took him took him really literally and And and then this was born. I also figured Anyone who's watching it if I talk about the technicalities of it will probably not be paying attention anymore after a couple of minutes And so if I could make it more fun and make people understand it in an easier way that I then I would It's very good. So very much agreed Thank you Okay, well, thank you very much Talia. Thank you All right, have a good one. Okay you too
