 So welcome everybody to this year's Cloud Foundry Summit in Europe. My name is Simon. This is Dr. Max And we're here to tell you a little bit about Cloud Foundry and about Bluemix So what's Bluemix? Bluemix is the IBM offering that We created as a started from an internal development thing people wanted to just be able to push Apps very quickly and by now actually became the largest Cloud Foundry service in the world I think so we're having 20,000 new users per week. We're running 420,000 new apps per month we have hundreds of services in the Bluemix service catalog and we're literally having 7 billion more than 7 billion service API calls in a month all that we accomplished in Within a few years starting off basically from the green field and how we got to that Max will tell you Right, so of course, I'm just one member of a larger team and some of them are here And I'm only we only have four minutes, so I can only cover a subset But what I want to say is that it's been really good a really good symbiosis You know what symbiosis mean it's like a relationship, you know in organism So let's talk about some specifics. So for instance services. You have services Last year when we launched Bluemix or a year and a half ago Yes, one of the things that happened is that we needed to add services for analytics and those services As you probably know it take a lot more than 60 seconds to provision and to get ready So what we did is we worked with pivotal our partners and we added asynchronous operations to services And this was kind of something that started I think in January and by March I was basically embedded to the team and we had a working version The other thing that's important is I could I was able to bring in somebody from the Bluemix garage to help So this is one example another one is services keys. So the Bluemix platform has a container services A set of service that are independent of Cloud Foundry But these needed to talk to the same CF services that we had in the past or that we have and what we did with Collaborating with Pivotal again is to add services keys and what's interesting about services keys in terms of the development effort Is I started it and then I have a team in China where I needed to work with them So what I did is I went to China and essentially got them to complete the work working with Pivotal So this is another example within three months. We got done another one. That's sort of close and dear to my heart is Bosch Mainly because that's the project. I contribute the most you Probably not as much as dr. Nick, but almost I'm trying to compete with him External CPI so you heard Sam talk about the fact that Bosch supports all these clouds Well, guess what it wasn't like this before all of those clouds the code for the clouds were embedded in the director So what I what we did and I contributed a little bit to that is to help You know Dimitri and Maria and the rest of the team to essentially figure out how to remove the CPI and then part of this was to Kind of self-serving we needed a new CPI. So I went ahead and started created that and then now that's sort of flourishing Other things are incubation. So for instance a backers We're actually collaborating with SAP on this one where we it's the metering engine for Cloud Foundry Another one is swagger. It's essentially trying to provide standard description for services in Cloud Foundry HP as such should interest. So we're looking at the V3 APIs for instance for this And there's a few more so can't really talk about all of them But one of which that Simon leads is the bit services So the final thing that we're going to talk about is the bit service Which is a an incubation project that is really scoped around managing bits. It has a service CF service specific abstraction of object stores clearly defined API and It comes with batteries included for open source codes, which means the most common object stores are actually already supported out of the box I want to conclude this talk with really the lessons learned like we started like we have a strong open source Calibration as we just showed we have been building this for a few years now I've been working with Cloud Foundry for a while and there are a bunch of things that We learned on our way right first is you need if you want to run a Cloud Foundry You definitely need to have a reliable IS particularly if you run at scale You need to monitor you need to automate you need to analyze and you need to repeat because the operational things is The most critical part when you run something like that You've got to be prepared for the weirdness because I can tell you by by by by a fact that if you do something if you repeat a Task 600 times for 600 VMs. There's going to be one that's failing for no apparent reason Right, so there is some of those things that happen last lesson learned is many small deployments are Much better than having one big deployment So if anyone wants to grow at scale keep that in mind and last but not least and this is why we're all here This is why we're here for the conference Open source collaboration works right this is the proof Blue mix is the proof that it works because without the open source community without the work that we have been both Investing as well as putting into the open source community. Nobody would be standing here So, thank you very much for listening. Have a great conference talk to you soon
