Marten Mickos & Adrian Ionel | OpenStack Silicon Valley 2014
Marten Mickos, Eucalyptus, and Adrian Ionel, Mirantis, at OpenStackSV 2014 with John Furrier @theCUBE #OpenstackSV his week in DevOps hightlights how the integration of development and operations can attain improved agility and operational excellence while also speeding deployment of new capabilities. This week PagerDuty delivered new analytics tools to better improve team and system performance and Sony is reaching out to developers to build apps for its SmartEyeglass platform. This and more below in this DevOps Weekly. Sony SmartEyeglass SDK to build future smart apps Last week, Sony introduced the SDK Developer Preview for its SmartEyeglass concept for developers to build apps for the SmartEyeglass platform. Unlike Google Glass, Sony’s Smart Glasses will come packed with an integrated screen on the lens that will allow it to act as a secondary screen for any Android smartphone. The device will be equipped with a diverse range of sensing technologies, which includes CMOS image sensor, accelerator, Gyroscope, and a brightness sensor. The SDK will include an emulator, sample codes, tutorials to help developers get started, in-depth guides, API references, design guidelines, test instructions, and the publishing guidelines. All these things will allow developers to get started working on their dedicated apps for the Sony SmartEyeglass. Releasing the SDK early means that both the industry’s most established and up-and-coming developers will help shape what SmartEyeglass is capable of. Open source is key When it comes to cloud infrastructure, open source is the winning method among enterprise service providers. The operations performance management company PagerDuty launched Advanced Analytics tools to provide IT teams tools to better improve team and system performance. The analytics system provides DevOps teams better insight into how teams are responding to and resolving incidents, to help determine whether teams are spending time on the right problems and providing tools to identify, and to better analyze and share trends about their resolution times and incident load. HP recently announced that it’s acquiring Eucalyptus Systems, Inc., provider of open-source software for building private and hybrid enterprise clouds. Last week, former Eucalyptus CEO Marten Mickos and HP’s new Senior Vice President of its cloud division in theCUBE interview said open source open source is key to the cloud, saying that if you want to get engineers super-excited about something, the code must be open. HP with its Helion OpenStack distribution can won the hearts and minds of developers with its growing enterprise cloud services. He said that HP can provide developers with a whole range of products and services. Developers can just download the Helion OpenStack distribution, get going, build applications, and run it on any hardware they like
