So yeah, welcome to this talk. Title is Multidata Center Strategies for Data Services. It was meant to be a full session, so I had to cut it down into 10 minutes, which I didn't achieve. It's going to be a little bit more. Also, a few words about myself. I'm Julian Fisher, CEO of Any9s. Probably you might have heard of us. We focus on data service automation for Cloud Foundry and other platforms. So a little disclaimer. As I said, the talk is actually meant to be longer than that. So we are going to scratch the surface. And at several times, I will have to oversimplify things to a degree that I would throw tomatoes at myself. So if that's the case, feel free to grab me later outside. And we can have discussions or questions afterwards. So the reason I would like to talk about this topic is because during our work with customers, we've seen that topic being discussed widely. And also that, in many cases, some elementary understanding of the dos and don'ts are kind of missing. So because of the length of the talk, I'm trying to getting through the basic scenarios definitions a little and then talk a little about what we can actually achieve in the terms of data service automation and about the multi-datasenders topics as such. So I think one of the most important things is that when you think about having multiple data senders is that you actually be clear about what you actually want to achieve. Sounds obvious, but having two data senders can be very, very different. So the term, in fact, actually gives you no information so that you can, whatever, present some fancy slides and tell somebody what this means for data services. Just there's no connection between having multiple data senders and a good design to do it. So you have to go down the road and make yourself requirements and define goals that you want to fulfill. So in those conversations, many different motivations may be of relevance. For example, you could have an audience that's spread around the globe so that you want to serve content from a nearby data center instead of having a long-distance connection with a lot of latency. So lowering latencies may be an interesting motivation and, of course, availability. So in case something happens, so, for example, the local disaster, such a fire, sadly, California, experiencing something like that, at the moment could put a threat on your data center. So there are things in between.  Do you want to provide redundancy and load balancing? Things are kind of interconnected. And you have to go through your particular scenario and define what you actually want to achieve. So for us, and we've been serving Cloud Foundry as a public offering since 2013, we've started on vSphere. We moved to OpenStack. We had a lot of regret, so we moved to vSphere and AWS. So we've been running Cloud Foundry, and we're talking about migrating customer applications in every of those cases, migrations, that we've learned that we have to be infrastructure agnostic, because infrastructure technologies that still change a lot, either because it means that you have to learn that whatever the infrastructure you've got is not the best, or that another infrastructure provider becomes more important or cheaper, or you want to whatever, go to a geographical area where a certain provider is more accepted than another. So Asia, for example, I heard local companies preferring Microsoft Azure over Amazon, where in the US, it might be the other way around. So in our platform strategy, we always had the assumption that we would like to have a homogeneous operational model, which means I wouldn't have this similar operational procedures for running a Postgres than for running a Redis. And we want to have that across multiple data centers without tying into the technical details too much. So I've seen customers who are running on OpenStack and they are happy with it, and therefore, they accept infrastructure-specific ties. So this is one of those design goals you have to be conscious about. It's all I'm saying. It's no right or wrong. It's just something you have to be clear. And then you can start thinking about the data service design. So just to have a common understanding, there are two major scenarios we've seen repeatedly. The first one is where you have multiple data centers being in a close range. I think Switzerland is a good example, right? Because it's smaller. And I know a company who have multiple data centers and they have the luck to also own the data center connections between the data centers. So that's a good example for a close-range data center because you have a geographically close data center being so close to another. So I'm talking about less than a few hundred kilometers, ideally less than 100 or 50 kilometers, right? So you have a high bandwidth. You have a low latency. And therefore, a reliable connection. So this makes a few tricks more appealing than if you were in another scenario, which we'll look at a little later. And we're talking about the possibility to stretch the infrastructure. We've seen customers do that. We are not infrastructure experts as such. I won't say anything against it, despite of my stomach feeling would suggest that this might be a problem unless you're really, really sure about the quality of the connection between the data centers.  So in that case, each of the data center has one or multiple availability zones, so which is already interesting because look at that scenario, you see two data centers and three availability zones in total. So we've also seen two data centers with each one availability zone obviously leading to the problem that any Quorum-based data service won't be free of the split-brain problematic because a Quorum requires two N plus one nodes, so at least three. So in this case, you have three nodes, but we are looking at what kind of disaster. Why are we going to a second data center? So the reason is not because data center one is full, maybe because of redundancy. However, a data center might be troubled entirely. So if you lose data center one in that scenario, you're losing two or three availability zones. And for most data service, this means either losing the capability of electing a leader or even losing data depending on the data service you're looking at. So you could add a second availability zone, a data center two, but the problem here obviously still is Quorum, because one of the most likely scenario here is that you have a connection problem between data center one and data center two, and then you have a split-brain problem because a cluster manager, usually running on nodes and the nodes are spread across the availability zones, they would be split in the middle. So there would be two cluster nodes on the left side, two cluster nodes on the right side, and none of these partial clusters would be able to determine whether they are the new majority, so a leader election impossible. So if you add another availability zone to one of the data centers, you're basically going back to the first scenario, where if data center one goes down, you still lose a majority of the nodes. And also it really depends on the data service and whether the data is lost. At that point, so again, in most of the data services, you would be able to cover and survive losing two out of five nodes, so only the scenario of losing data service one would be really, really problematic. Still, what's the point, having two data centers then? So another scenario could be to have three data centers with each having one availability zone. Well, that's a way to go. And of course, you could go for all in and having three availability zones, having a local failover and three data centers, but who would be able to pay for that? Nobody would ever do that. So in any case, the stretched infrastructure scenario has the appealing part that you can just declare the availability zones and not tell BOSCH so much about the existence of different data centers and let the virtual machines being spread across availability zones. So in that particular scenario, you would be distributing virtual machines across three data centers with minimal impact to the data service automation. So in our case, data services will be provisioned with BOSCH. So we'll just create a Postgres cluster. And the Postgres cluster would be automatically spread across data centers. I'm not advertising the solution because deep down, I don't trust the stretched data center. So I would be careful with that. But it's an appealing idea. And I've seen people looking at it. I've actually seen people doing it.  But so if you have data centers close by, whatever scenario will work for a multi-region setup, obviously also works for a setup where the data centers are close by just to question whether this gives you any benefit. So let's look into a scenario which is pretty common to countries such as the US, where you have East Coast, West Coast kind of scenarios. So your data centers are widely spread. And with that, even if you own connections, I'm pretty sure that it's just the physics that will give you some fluctuation and bandwidth and latency. So I'm not really sure whether you want to go with the stretched infrastructure in that scenario because it just takes some time. So scenarios I've seen is that you have multiple Cloud Foundry instances or foundations, however you want to call them. And so for example, three data centers and three Cloud Foundry foundations. But that immediately leads to the question who's orchestrating those Cloud Foundries, who's synchronizing those Cloud Foundries. Because spoiler alert, Cloud Foundry doesn't really support that, at least not at the moment. Pretty sure that they got something on the roadmap. And if somebody knows something about that, maybe it would be an interesting question afterward. So next thing, how do you deal with multiple Cloud Foundries? I've seen people using CI pipelines and load balancers in the front and proxy services on the front that will replay activities towards multiple Cloud Foundries and try to keep their state similar. Now the thing with that kind of approach is always the question, what does it mean for the data services? So long as the data servers are not connected, the question is, can you really assure that each Cloud Foundry with all the data services is in the same state? So I wouldn't bet my life on that, because it's really hard to achieve. And also, similar to a database, you'd have the problem that if one Cloud Foundry is unavailable, whatever changes are to be committed to that Cloud Foundry would have to be stored in a kind of transaction log and then replay it once it goes up. But then a change could be different depending on when it's actually executed. So not really sure. So you have a lot of trouble with that one because you have to monitor or you have to perform failover and you have to think about what actually happens if a Cloud Phone goes away and comes back. So another way could be that you have a primary Cloud Foundry, which is kind of the master slave scenario where this would be your multimaster scenario and this would be a kind of primary secondary scenario. So you have one Cloud Phone you're writing to and you're trying to replicate all the changes to that Cloud Foundry to the secondary ones. So in such a scenario, what you could do is having a database. I'm using Postgres as an example. We are using Postgres with asynchronous replication. And asynchronous replication is pretty tolerant when it comes to fluctuating bandwidth and latency. So in a multi-region setup, it's something you could do. So in that scenario, you would be writing to a master database in a primary Cloud Foundry, maybe because the request hit that particular Cloud Foundry. And then you'd replicate the changes to databases in other Cloud Foundry foundations or other remote regions. When it comes to automation, this is something that seems to me kind of doable. So we could have a service broker that triggers a Bosch deployment either in multiple Bosches or having a Bosch that supports multiple infrastructures. So you could provide, on the level of behind the service broker, an automated awareness of different regions. So doable. But the problem then would be when you look at asynchronous replication, the inherent drawback is having a replication lag. So we'll look at that a little later what it means to have an asynchronous replicating database. So one of the questions I'm being asked a lot is, is there a generic way to make data services multi-DC capable? So we're having a framework automating data service. So we've been looking at that. And the answer clearly is no, because data services are vastly different. Even when you know that's an asynchronous replication, their implementation might be so different that you have to look at a particular data service. And it's very specific operational model to see what it means to make it distributed across data centers, or even if it makes sense at all. Another commonly asked question was, does multi-region awareness a matter of the application or the data service layer? And I think the answer to that is not clearly given. So it really depends. It depends on the design goals, on your data center topology, on the data service you're using, and the application architecture you're looking at. But if you force me to give you some kind of navigational knowledge, it wouldn't be much, but at least I could say that it is a data service matter if the data service is inherently designed to do it. So if you look at technology such as Cassandra, where you can configure the replication behavior, particular to your certain use case, that is surely something that, well, it's some kind of in between, because you're still application specific, but also it has a data service side to it. And it's data service automation matter, looking at the Postgres example, where Postgres gives you the ability to replicate, but it doesn't give you a cluster manager. So it doesn't give you a failure detection, doesn't give you the automation that needs to be executed once a leader election takes place. So they are still playing to fill in, but at least you have the tooling to do that. So I'm pretty sure there are a lot of data service that are inherently not designed to do multi-TC scenarios, and in those cases, you're most likely up to do it on the application level or choose another data service. But let's just for a second look into the idea of having a asynchronous replicated database in a multi-regional environment. You know, you can make that happen. You have your master database on U.S. East and your slave in U.S. West or your primary and your secondary. And as long as the right request to your primary, to your application on the primary location is low enough, you won't have problems with that. And I found that picture to be very suitable because the replication lag always means that, you know, if you go faster with your car, at some point, your dog will start suffering. And same with databases. So if you have databases being widely spread and you start writing to the master database too fast, the replication lag increases and increases. And at some point, the replication is just, you know, too way too out of sync and may collapse. So it works on the certain circumstances, but how can you grasp these circumstances and over a wide range of applications? So it's hard. So my assumption was that in every other case, it's more kind of application concern, but the conclusion is actually that multi-datas awareness is per se not a aspect of a platform.  Not without having assumptions about the data service layer and choosing them carefully. However, it is wise to design early for multi-datacenter awareness that I've seen customers who've been adding that feature to their platform lately and starting with one configuration of availability zones and number of data centers and so on. So you have to make those changes and propagate them across the stack which is costly and time consuming. So in our opinion, the multi-datacenter awareness in general hits the entire stack. So from the data center design to the infrastructure design, how you configure your availability zones, the choice of the data services and possibly the automation when looking at cluster managers and so on. And obviously also your application design where you can still, you know, do a lot of tracks. Sorry guys, was way longer than expected. So thanks a lot and please feel free to blame or ask questions.


It's so funny When I first started working on music, you know, I was just just getting into that that whole Damn, am I doing it right? Yeah. Yeah, you know am I am I using the right sound am I using the right samples? You know I'm saying so at the time I was working on this track with the eyes of the brother sample Yeah, I had a role and I was sitting there listening to it now You know, I was I just kind of learned how to sample and Sequencing and getting all the drums and stuff together and I was like, man, I wonder if that's jamming. I know I like Yeah, I wonder if it's jamming to somebody else and then probably about a week after I did that beat man I'm riding in my car listening to the radio But that's how I met pimp with them. Yeah, it was through mail because mail and pimp was tight Yeah, I'm saying because I think Mail has stayed out in Houston for a while and then I think they met some kind of way him and pimp and then they became tight And they started talking about starting trill and entertainment. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah How was that meeting? How was it meeting pimp? Just he was just a cool person like he was when he met other people, right? I was thinking about that the other day. It was funny because I was like man I remember the day I met pimp and bun, you know, I'm saying yeah at the time Mail had this house, you know what it was doing all the music at it was really just like a house where everybody kind of hung out at and I used to go there. I my equipment and stuff set up over there And I was just making beats all day. Just he had these big old 15-inch sir in Vegas that I used to love Yeah He told me pimp and bun was coming over one day and um, I Just remember being in that room all day and like make me something hard When they come in there they gonna hear it they gonna they gonna have to mess around with me You know I'm saying like they're not they're not walking about here without no music.  So I think of like 12 1 o'clock in the morning. They they showed up over mail house and They came in the room when I was working on some tracks man And they were like, yeah, man, you know play some play something for me So I hit that star button man and they got that stank face. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they both looked at each other They were like he got it. He got it. Yeah, that was a good feeling No, man, it had to be feeling, you know to be able to meet those cats like that And I had been looking up to him for so long, you know, I'm saying and I already kind of felt like you know When it came to the music part, you know me and pimp I actually feel like me and pimp were like Musical kindred souls, you know I'm saying because It's so funny When I first started working on music, you know I was just just getting into that that whole Damn, am I doing it right? Yeah. Yeah, you know am I using the right sound? Uh-huh. Am I using the right samples? You know I'm saying so at the time I was working on this track with the eyes of the brother sample Yeah, yeah, I had a role and I was sitting there listening to it Now, you know, I was I just kind of learned how to sample and Sequencing and getting all the drums and stuff together and I was like man I want if that's jamming. I know I like yeah, yeah, yeah I wonder if it's jamming to somebody else and then probably about a week after I did that beat man I'm riding in my car listening to the radio Yeah, it was damn I said I must be doing it right that was that uh, which song was that uh that that was Yeah, that was the first one I heard how was you when you've heard that? Man, I must have been about 15 16 16 me. I was a little bit older. How do you if you're on my math 49? But yeah, we I'm one year older than you. So yeah, yeah, I was at that.  Yeah, I knew I knew they was cold I had to I had to find that music that uh, what what too hard to swallow. What was that? What what happened was that there had to be Think to us that was all that that was That was the first one had to be Well, I'm telling you that was it. You know me. I I'm just tell you that was it man I just know when it when it came out. No, that wasn't you right because it had tell me something good pocket full of stone Yeah, be old be be you and be I just remember the songs. Yeah, I know what order they was in You know what I mean? That's when you really so you you had made that made that just listen to that beat and you was thinking That's a hard beat. Yeah, I'd like I used that sample sample Yeah, and I was like man I wanted this was a good choice of sample and then when I heard when I heard that song on the radio And I saw that you know, he used it and everybody was loving and I was like, okay I must be doing something right like I must be choosing the right samples I must have I must have that sound or at least know of that sound that other people won't you know Yeah I just know that thing went hard man me my partner shot out that boy low D's we argue all the time about who the hardest out of eight ball MJG and UGK oh Me and low D's. That's yellow beases. Yeah. Yeah, I know Go we go back and forth.  I'm like, whatever man Yeah, don't give me to say that. Yeah. No, I love them both man, but me too I love both of you GK all day I gotta say you GK because I remember where I was at like you saying earlier And I just know the feeling I got when I heard that now or that one lay it down from eight ball I remember that where I was at that thing went on man. Yeah. Yeah, so Mr. Big mr. Big big man when they when they got with that dude T mix man Yeah, yeah, yeah production when they stepped that production up They got down in Houston and went with Swab house man I remember being a southern man listening. I always think about mr. Mike, man Oh, you mr. Mike going hard man. Yeah, I was as people didn't ask I think I was putt putt city big putt big pub say he was still down there. You know what? Yeah I'm looking for that cat. I'm trying to find of mr. I'm a fine. I've seen I've seen some of see I don't know if they were recent, but I saw him in some some Really, I gotta look him up. I'm gonna go. I'm a years. Yeah, cuz we went to Houston and done some and Yeah, I'm gonna get it. He was cold. I loved it man Yeah, yeah, you know, I think when you was talking it's like you mr. Lee KLC that was only who else he's a Leo. I'm I'm I'm going through everybody Running running special just on here. You know, I'm going through everybody just talking about pimp


What's up guys? Welcome back to the channel. Today's episode is another video about traveling to the beautiful state of Alaska. Today we are going to answer the question what do I wear or how do I dress if I'm visiting Alaska in summer? This is a question that came up when I shared this video up here in which I talk about 10 things that you should know before traveling to Alaska, especially if you are traveling or visiting for the first time. And so today I'm going to share with you clothing items that I packed with me when I was in Alaska. Now summer in Alaska is very different than summer in the lower 48 so sometimes it's sunny and beautiful out. Some other days it's cold, rainy and you want to make sure that you are as prepared as you can. So when you're going to start your research you will see that everyone is talking about the importance of dressing in layers. And this is something that I personally learned when I started hiking and backpacking a couple of years ago. And so why is it important to dress in layers? The weather is changing constantly around you. You can easily adjust and you can either put more layers or less layers so that you are more comfortable. This is my system. This is what I was wearing in Alaska and this is pretty much my system even for hiking and backpacking in areas where it's raining all the time when it's cold all the time. And so I just add on or remove layers as we go. So this is my base layer. So I think it's important to have a base layer with you. I love this base layer and it's probably you probably see in every single hiking video that I have out there. That's a base layer from Colombia. And there are a couple of things that I like about this one. And A, it's omni heat. So this material that you see here inside is very similar to what an emergency blanket looks like. And what it does, it just preserves and keeps the temperature of your body. So it works really well when it's cold outside. I also like that it has, what do they call it? This product incorporates an onti microbial treatment. So it's got an onti microbial, onti bacterial treatment that doesn't let all of the bacteria grow and stick to the material. And this is important especially if you're going to be wearing the same layer every single day, which is very common if you are backpacking. Usually you wouldn't change and wear fresh clothes every single day. I also love the fact that it's got a collar. So even when it's cold, it protects your neck to an extent. So what I would do when I was in Alaska, I would have my sports bra and this is what I would wear immediately on top of my sports bra. And in my day pack, whether we are going for a hike or we are going on a day cruise to see glaciers or even if our ice climbing, I would always have an additional layer in my backpack. So this layer, very similar. It's also omni heat, same material, same brand, same everything. So that when it gets really cold, I can throw another layer on top of my main layers. And the system that we follow, the layering system, me and Alex, the exact same thing. So whatever I'm talking about here for women applies for men, except for the sports bra, maybe. But anyway, so that's the base layer. On top of the base layer, you want to make sure that you do have either a fleece jacket or a down jacket. So this is my fleece jacket, same concepts also omni heat. I've been using this jacket for more than four years. It works great for me. I've hiked in it in very cold temperature, really works. So this is the down jacket, the fleece jacket, or you can have something like this. This is another jacket. So usually I would take this one with me on colder temperature, like when we were in Yellowstone during winter, this is the jacket that I took with me, but that is the one that I took with me to Alaska, and it works pretty well. Now, because it's going to be raining a lot of times, actually, on every single hike that we went on, it was raining, you want to make sure that you do have a rain jacket with you. That's my rain jacket. Actually, it's one piece. When you buy them, when I bought this, this jacket right here, these are two pieces. And I love the fact that they are detachable, so that if I just need the rain jacket, because it's raining outside, I can wear the rain jacket. If I need the fleece jacket, I could wear the fleece jacket, but definitely want to make sure that you do have rain protection of some source. The hoodie is going to be very beneficial for you. So yeah, so that's the rain protection. Where else? So yeah, for pants instead of jeans, and that's my personal preference, and I think it's better to have some sort of athletic pants. I love having hiking pants with me, and this is pretty much what I was wearing when I was in Alaska. And I would switch between thin hiking pants and thick hiking pants. So this would be my hiking pants that I would wear every day, even if I'm just walking around anchorage or sewerage or somewhere in the Kenai Peninsula. I will wear this one. This is very lightweight and very thin. Also, the other thing that's very important when you are packing your clothes for your visit to Alaska, you want to make sure that they wick moisture. Wicking moisture means that if it doesn't keep, when you sweat, it doesn't keep all of the sweat. So it wicks the moisture to the surface of the material. And then when it gets wet, it dries very easily. So these are two things that you should think about with your clothing, especially for hiking clothes. So that's what I would wear. And then I have a thicker version of my hiking pants. This one right here. So these are the pants I believe that I was wearing when we went ice climbing because when you are ice climbing in the glacier, it's a bit colder in there.  So I was wearing a thicker version of hiking pants. And then obviously if it's colder, what actually what I did when we were ice climbing, I was wearing an underwear, a base layer. So that could be something like your leggings or some actually my favorite base layer is very similar to my other base layer, but in a form of pants. I just can't find it here. But that's what I would usually wear underneath my hiking pants and it works pretty well. So just some athletic pants or hiking pants will work fine with you. The other thing that you want to keep in mind if you are taking any sorts of day cruise or boat tours to go and see glaciers, keep in mind that once you enter the passage to get to the glacier and the closer you get to the glacier, it's going to get really cold. So inside the vessel or the boat, it's going to be warm and comfortable. But then once you walk out to wash the glacier or spot some wildlife, it's going to get chilly as you get closer to the glacier. So for that, it's very important to have some hat and gloves, especially gloves. So really important to have gloves with you. Also, if you are going on activities like walking on a glacier or ice climbing, you definitely want to have gloves. And these gloves work really well. The other thing, if you are crazy about taking photos on your phone or camera, especially phone actually, I love the fact that they have this touch pad feature right here where you can still touch your phone and use your phone to take videos. These are Alex's when I was in Alaska. I don't know what happened to my gloves. So I ended up just buying a $5 pair of gloves from some store. This is what I was wearing most of the time and it worked really well. So you don't really have to have thick mittens during summer in Alaska. You probably just want something warm enough so that if you are in the vessel, just like, I don't know, taking photos or watching with your binoculars that your hands are not getting super cold or uncomfortable. The other thing that I would recommend for head protection, you can have a hat with you. I just like having a buff with me. This is a thin version of a buff and this is a thicker version. This is how you would be able to use a buff. I love buffs. I think this is my favorite piece of clothing when it comes to hiking. So when it gets really cold out, you can use it to cover your neck. You can use it to cover your ears. If you need a face covering when you are going to stores, you can even use it to mask up. And then when it's really cold, you can wear it like this. There you go. So I would wear a head buff underneath my hoodie and that would protect me enough. So that's a thin version. If it's really cold out and we took both of them to Alaska, I think I was using the thicker version because I get really cold then I can even see in my ears they get really warm and red. Just use it like this to cover my neck or to cover my whole head. There you go. Next socks. This is what I do, especially when I'm hiking and backpacking. I would have liners. Liners are very thin socks that you would wear. Mine looks a little bit dirty here. But I would have a thin liner and then I would have thick wool socks. There you go. So I packed two pairs or three and that keeps me warm all the time. Okay, now when it's going to be sunny and beautiful outside, you can wear a t-shirt. I was wearing a wearing t-shirt around Seward a couple of days. However, if you decide to walk by the water or later in the evening, it gets pretty windy.  You want to make sure that you have a windbreaker with you. And that is my favorite windbreaker. I've been wearing this one for probably five, six years until I damaged it last time. We were on a horse riding adventure and there was a funny incident maybe that I'm going to talk about later on, but this happened. But anyway, so any sort of windbreaker should be good for you. I love this one just because it's warm enough and it's very compact and you even actually have a storage case where you just put the whole thing into like a little sack. Yeah, and it doesn't even take that much space when you are packing. So forgot, almost forgot about shoes. I think it's important to pack a pair of hiking boots that is waterproof just because most of the hikes were wet. I can't even think of a hike that where it wasn't raining to be honest. I don't know if it was just us because it attracts a lot of rain, but I think the conditions are wet most of the time. So waterproof shoes are going to be helpful when it comes to activities like walking on glacier or ice climbing. If you are going with a company, they are going to be most likely I think 100% they are going to provide you with the shoes that you can rent, shoes that are rated for that type of activities. But as far as hiking or backpacking or just like, you know, walking, even if you are walking in the city to be honest, if you want to have a pair of running shoes, you can do that. I did probably have one with me, but that's the pair of boots that I wear in on pretty much every adventure. This is how I dressed when I was in Alaska and this is pretty much what I wear even when I'm hiking and backpacking.
