What is FaaS? Cloud computing has become an essential paradigm of a majority of modern applications. The service model which represents cloud ecosystems is known as Everything-as-a-Service, or XaaS, with IaaS, PaaS and SaaS being among the most well-known representatives. All of them use similar client-server communication patterns (i.e. remote APIs for programmable infrastructure, platforms […]
The third day of the summit had a different feel from the previous couple of days – there was no keynote and there were noticeably less people around: there is a strong sense that the show is over and now it’s necessary to do some real work. Hence, there is more time and space allocated […]
As with the first day of the summit (see recap), the second day started with a keynote. In this case, the focus was on multicloud solutions and how Openstack can perform in this context. A few interesting points stood out from the keynote for us. First up – to emphasize how Openstack is moving – […]
We were lucky to have the opportunity to attend the Openstack Summit in Barcelona this year. The event has become a large event with a few thousand attendees and the scope is getting broader as Openstack evolves and matures. The schedule is very dense and a little bit of homework is necessary to maximize the […]
Two of the most influential robotics events of 2016, ROSCon and IROS, were conveniently co-located in South Korea during the second week of October. We had previously attended ROSCon 2015 in Hamburg, but it was our first time at the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), this year in Daejeon. Schlagwörter: cloud robotics, […]
ICCLab is announcing an integration of the Openstack OVA onboarding tool into OpenStack’s Horizon dashboard. To deploy the OVA file to Openstack all images are extracted from the file and uploaded to the Openstack cluster, all necessary file format transformations are automatically performed, glance images get created and the tool creates a heat stack out of them. […]
We had the chance again this year to attend the really excellent ORConf 2016 (see here for a write up on ORConf 2015). The focus of the conference is on Open Source silicon in general, comprising of aspects of open source hardware design tooling, open source processor designs and open source SoC designs. This area […]
With the end of August 2016, the Service Prototyping Lab (SPLab) finished its first year of operation. The applied research lab contributes to a better understanding of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), cloud-ready and cloud-native applications, industrial domains for hybrid cloud applications (e.g. Cloud Robotics) and prototyping techniques to rapidly bring new complex Internet services to the market. […]
