A Blog of the ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences
We haven’t updated the blog with robotics news in a while, but we actually have plenty to tell and much more to come soon. First of all the robotics team has gained new strength with the addition of Andy, Dimitris, Leo, Rod, and Thomas. Tobi and Lukasz have left us, but we are still working […]
The 8th IEEE International Symposium on Cloud and Services Computing (IEEE SC2) 2018, took place in Paris, France, from the 19th to 22nd of November. The conference was co-located with two more events, namely the 5th International Conference on Internet of Vehicles (IOV) 2018 and the 11th IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications […]
by Omar Mahdi Kais After announcing the broker sometime ago, we immediately started working to create a BOSH release for the broker and provide users with maximum freedom in how they want to deploy the broker and where they want to use it. We wanted to ensure that the broker remains very simple to deploy, […]
by Omar Mahdi Kais We are happy to announce the public release of the first open source Ceph object storage service broker that is compliant with the Open Service Broker API V2, now available on GitHub.
by Omar Mahdi Kais At the ICCLab we make extensive use of BOSH when working on our PaaS systems. We use it to deploy Cloud Foundry, different kinds of services and our own applications and tools on our internal OpenStack cloud. While working with BOSH and the Cloud Foundry ecosystem in general, we create all […]
On July 18th in Brussels project partners presented ElasTest results and progress to the EC. The review was a success and there ZHAW reported and demonstrated their key inputs.
We made a decision to use Kolla-Ansible for Openstack management approximately a year ago and we’ve just gone through the process of upgrading from Ocata to Pike to Queens. Here we provide a few notes on the experience. By way of some context: our system is a moderate sized system with 3 storage nodes, 7 […]
OVN is a relatively new networking technology which provides a powerful and flexible software implementation of standard networking functionalities such as switches, routers, firewalls, etc. Importantly, OVN is distributed in the sense that the aforementioned network entities can be realized over a distributed set of compute/networking resources. OVN is tightly coupled with OVS, essentially being […]
The 38th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS’18) took place from July 2 – 5, 2018, in Vienna, Austria. This blog post briefly summarises from our view as participating researchers from the Service Prototyping Lab some key aspects on distributed applications and general take-away inspirations of the well-established conference. Schlagwörter: community, conference, Distributed […]
This year we had the pleasure to organize and host one of Switzerland’s most prestigious cloud events, the OpenCloudDay. On the 30th of May, we welcomed the around 80 participants at the ZHAW School of Engineering in Winterthur for a day rich with technical talks, demos and networking possibilities for Cloud Computing practitioners and experts […]
