		<description><![CDATA[As an OpenStack user or administrator, you often need to write scripts to automate common
	tasks. In addition to the REST and command-line interfaces, OpenStack exposes native Python
	API bindings. Learn how to use these Python bindings to greatly simplify the process
	of writing OpenStack automation scripts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Explore and consider methods, tools, and system design for video and image
	analysis with cloud scaling. As described in earlier articles in this series, video analytics requires
	a more balanced &quot;data-centric compute architecture&quot; compared to traditional compute-centric, scalable, high-performance computing. The author examines the use of OpenCV and similar tools for digital video analysis and methods
	to scale this analysis using cluster and distributed system design. The use of coprocessors
	designed for video analytics and the new OpenVX hardware acceleration discussed in previous articles
	can be applied to the computer vision (CV) examples presented in this article.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Patterns contain best practices and expertise for complex tasks, distilled from repeated real-world engagements; they help define good solutions in a clear format that addresses reoccurring problems. Organizations planning to implement a cloud presence should look at &quot;cloud adoption patterns&quot; as a way to start that process. The authors detail how to apply cloud adoption patterns -- with each pattern outlined with its specific characteristics -- to support the business and technical requirements of your organization&apos;s cloud implementation. The examples explain how a cloud solution provider can build private and public clouds to house client applications either fully in a cloud environment (like those provided by IBM cloud service offerings) or partially in the cloud and partially on-premise.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the day, you could bring your personal 
         Blackberry to work in
       order to access a Software as a Service (SaaS) application (if you were
       in a large building with good cellular reception). Now, you have many 
       device choices for 
       accessing the cloud, from iOs-based phones and tablets, Android 
       handhelds, to Research In Motion&apos;s (RIM) PlayBook. All come with opportunities
       for jailbreaking, or gaining root access, 
        by breaking down security to install banned third-party
        applications. 
       An infected bring your own device (BYOD) connected to the 
       corporate network is another security concern. A war 
       walker could steal corporate data by

         requiring complex load balancing, applications, and firewalls
         from their private data centers into a public
         IaaS. Providers
         who do give Layer 4-7 services take prudent, proactive steps to
         offer Platform as a Service
         (PaaS) developers
          a wider range of IaaS delivery services (for example, disaster
         recovery service).  Learn which delivery
services
         the PaaS can use and what layers of multi-defense mechanisms
         should be considered to better protect the IaaS from cloud abuse.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you think about cloud computing and software testing, you want to be able
    to test from two perspectives -- testing applications and services before they are
    released and testing after they are released. Pre-release cloud service testing is not trivial because cloud computing opens up the potential for highly distributed computing running on some opaque and heterogeneous infrastructures. Also, the structure of cloud computing itself has spawned a range of new services that can be used to facilitate testing; for example, the elasticity of the cloud improves load and performance testing by allowing developers to rapidly and cheaply scale their software. In this article, the author describes the interplay of cloud computing and software testing from these two perspectives.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cloud service providers negotiate with customers to set a &quot;minimum&quot; of 99.9 percent as the guaranteed service availability level, but the range that falls in the guaranteed service levels complicates management of service level agreements because partner relationships can be full of complex variables. One of those variables is accumulative errors from rounding and truncation in the calculations. The author presents a solution to this set of problems: Use numerical analysis of performance data to obtain approximate solutions while you maintain reasonable bounds on errors as part of an SLA standardization effort.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recent breakthroughs in genomics have significantly reduced the cost of
	short-read &quot;genomic sequencing&quot; (determining the order of the nucleotide
	bases in a molecule of DNA). Therefore, to a large extent, the task of full genomic
	reassembly -- often referred to as &quot;secondary analysis&quot; (and familiar
	to those with parallel processing experience) -- has become an IT challenge in which
	the issues are about transferring massive amounts of data over WANs and LANs, managing it
	in a distributed environment, ensuring stability of massively parallel processing pipelines,
	and containing the processing cost. In this article to applied science investigation, the authors
	describe their experiences porting a commercial, high-performance-computing-based
	application for genomic reassembly to a cloud environment; they outline the key
	architectural decisions they made and the path that took them from a purely HPC-type
	design to what they like to call the big data design.]]></description>

legacy system with loosely coupled components of a Software as a Service (SaaS) application.  Many 
see Platform as a Service (PaaS) as a better option than using a mainframe for decomposing a

dependencies between service components in a legacy system can be very complex. This

		<description><![CDATA[Any smart developer wants to be able to use open source development tools in his
    arsenal; this is especially important in cloud development efforts because they can
    speed the development process and facilitate testing. However, the resulting product
    may have various pieces of open source code in them from different sources and many of
    those code bits will carry differing obligations and restrictions. To not
    have to surrender the time advantages you get when developing cloud applications with
    open source software, you need to be able to &quot;manage&quot; the licensing information for
    each piece of code you employ in your final cloud application. Learn how to manage
    open source software that can be deployed to a cloud environment from within the
    cloud. See an example of an existing, real-world approach to managing open source software in the

		<description><![CDATA[Often, after a shared environment is provisioned, it&apos;s never decommissioned and might run for weeks or months, with engineers applying manual configuration changes throughout its lifetime. This risky approach regularly causes deployment problems and other strange &quot;environment&quot; errors to occur during development, test, and production cycles. This Agile DevOps installment explains how to create ephemeral environments that are terminated on a frequent basis. Once all environments are scripted and versioned, these test environments are only used long enough to run through a suite of tests as the software moves through a delivery pipeline on its way to production.]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Provide efficient backup and recovery using an agentless method]]></title>
		
		<description><![CDATA[The current cloud landscape looks a little different than it did a few
            years ago. One of the major differences is that clouds no longer just support web and consumer applications -- now the cloud finds itself home to enterprise and production-level applications as well. And since the virtualized cloud data center relies on effective backup for fast and efficient data access, storage, and in the event of potential problem, for data recovery of enterprise app data, perhaps it also deserves a better choice to handle that data. In this article, the authors propose &quot;agentless backup&quot; as a technique to provide better cloud-oriented data-recovery choices than the more traditional agent-based backup. They take you on a tour of backup options and then provide a look at a real-world agentless cloud recovery system they developed, one that runs on IBM SmartCloud Enterprise.]]></description>
