Luke 21 verses 5 through 11 and I want to develop this with you because it's going to take some time for me to do that and I only want to give introductory remarks and things and then I'm going to be building on this over the next two or three studies and so let's look together here beginning at verse 5 Luke chapter 21 I'll read to verse 11 and we'll get into our study Luke 21 beginning at verse 5 then as some spoke of the temple how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations he said these things which you see the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down so they asked him saying teacher but when will these things be and what sign will there be when these things are about to take place and he said take heed that you not be deceived for many will come in my name saying I am he and the time is drawn near therefore do not go after them but when you hear of wars and commotions do not be terrified for these things must come to pass first but the end will not come immediately then he said to them nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom there will be great earthquakes in various places and famines and pestilences there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven so as we look at this particular study this study has been called by Bible commentators the Olivet discourse perhaps you've heard that that term before the Olivet discourse the reason why it's referred to as the Olivet discourse or the speech from Mount of Olives is because according to Matthew chapter 24 verse 3 Jesus gives this teaching while on the Mount of Olives and so what we have here is called the Olivet discourse and what it is doing is it's dealing with conditions prior to the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ now the second coming the return of Christ is one of those subjects that gets people into arguments some people as they read Luke chapter 21 would say that that the events that are written of have already taken place other people when they look at this particular portion of scripture would look at Jesus's words as simply a message that that helps people to establish spiritual priorities there are various ways that people will take this particular passage and deal with it we believe that Jesus is speaking of actual events and the events that he's going to speak of here in Luke chapter 21 our events that will take place both in the near future as in terms of when he was speaking them the near future as well as a later time a future event now we know that having a faith in the Lord's return is a very valuable valuable asset in your Christian life and some people will say well the Lord delays is coming he's not going to come he's been saying it that you know we've heard that he's going to be returning all of our lifetime and for centuries that's been being said and all and and and they get kind of lazy in their faith and they even go so far as to believe that if he hasn't come yet he's never going to come but one of the things that I discovered about the subject of eschatology last day's events eschatology the subject of this is is really an important thing because when you study eschatology when you study the last days and the events that are taking place prior to the return of Jesus Christ it's one of those things that actually encourage you to live an unselfish life having a belief that the Lord is returning it gives to you an impetus to live a holy life a devoted life a life of service as you're awaiting the Lord Jesus Christ believing that he's going to return has a way of impacting the way that you live I got saved 30 some years ago in 1970 and and when I got saved as a 20 year old young man I was hearing that the Lord is returning and and you know and obviously over 37 almost 38 years he has yet to return at least in my lifetime and somebody says well you know doesn't that discourage you and the answer is no he's closer now than he was when I first believed he's going to return you know and and I have begun to even more now in these latter days of my life live with more of the conscious awareness of that than ever before because he's going to return I was talking to a friend of mine a friend of ours really raw yesterday pastor all reason anyhow we're visiting and he was saying and he says this to me quite often he says you know David he goes he calls me David he never calls me David it's always David but anyway we're talking and he says you know what he goes we're living in the last days man we're living and I've heard that from Raul and and others for so many years but I especially have heard that from Jesus himself we are living in the last days there's no doubt about that the Lord's return is soon and that ought to provoke us to a certain kind of life if you really believe that he's returning if you honestly believe that Jesus Christ is true to his word and he's coming back it ought to provoke you to a life that is holy it's devoted to service it's a life that's set apart in an unselfish way and you see that in Scripture in 1st John chapter 3 verses 2 and 3 when John was writing there in 1st John chapter 3 he said beloved now we are children of God and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be but we know that when he's revealed we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is and he goes on to say and everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself just as he is pure if you really have the hope that the Lord is returning you are going to live a lifestyle that reflects the reality of that you're going to live a lifestyle in anticipation of the return of Lord Jesus Christ that's what's going to happen with you because you really believe that Jesus is coming back and your belief that he's going to come back actually has affected the way that you are living in in Romans chapter 13 verses 11 through 14 when Paul was writing to the church of Rome he said this do this knowing the time that now it is high time to awake out of sleep for now our salvation is near than when we first believed the night is far spent the day is at hand therefore let us cast off the works of darkness let us put on the armor of light let us walk properly as in the day not in revelry and drunkenness not in lewdness and lust not in strife and envy but put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh to fulfill its loss he said the day is at hand Jesus is returning how are you supposed to live a holy and separated life now the disciples had looked at that temple and as they looked at the beauty of the temple they made mention it mention of it to Jesus you see that in Matthew chapter 24 they they pointed out how beautiful it was and all of that and that's what you see here in verse 5 in chapter 21 when it says as some spoke of the temple how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations and so they were pointing out this magnificent temple to the Lord Jesus Christ they were pointing out how beautiful it was and and yet Jesus responds he says it's going to be destroyed and and when he says that to them it prompts the questions to ask their rather the disciples to ask their question it says in verse 7 teacher when will these things be and what sign will there be when these things are about to take place so it's Jesus's statement that that these these stones aren't going to be left one upon another they're all going to be thrown down that actually causes the disciples to ask that question and so when you look at their question there in verse 7 I want you to see how Luke divides the question into two basic elements when and what so in response Jesus's answer is the longest answer given to any question in the New Testament now in order to understand their question we need to understand their times during their day just like today there was a great interest in prophetic events the Jews during the time of Jesus Christ were longing for deliverance from foreign oppression for many centuries the nation of Israel had been subjected to foreign rulers and as you study your Old Testament you see that you see that they had been invaded by by Assyrians you see that the Babylonians had invaded you see the Medo-Persians had the Greeks and and and now it's the Romans and and their desire was to be set free they were longing to be set free from the yoke of foreign tyranny and as they had this longing to be set free from this tyranny that they had for centuries been been experiencing they began to remember the promises that God had made and God had made them some fantastic promises in their Old Testament prophets and God had made it clear to them that he would bless them so they remembered things like Isaiah chapter 9 verses 6 and 7 where God had said unto us a child is born unto us a son is given the government shall be upon his shoulder his name shall be called wonderful counselor the mighty God the everlasting father the prince of peace of the increase of his government in peace there shall be no end upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom to order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this and so they knew that God was going to establish a everlasting kingdom they knew through Jeremiah in chapter 23 verses 5 and 6 how Jeremiah had prophesied centuries before the days come saith the Lord that I will raise unto David a righteous branch and the king shall reign in prosper and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth in his days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely and this is his name whereby he shall be called the Lord our righteousness so they knew of the promises of a coming king they knew that there was one who would be there a messiah who would deliver them and so they're longing for the Lord to fulfill his word to them they're asking God for deliverance from his enemies and there's an expectation there's an expectation that it is soon to take place during that time there was a basic set of expectations concerning the coming of messiah there were various things that they believed very strongly they believe for example that before messiah would arrive there would be a time of terrible tribulation they believed before the coming of messiah that a forerunner would be sent who was likened to Elijah they believed that after the tribulation in and Elijah that the messiah would appear and establish his kingdom they believed that the unbelieving nations would ally to fight against their messiah that the nations opposing messiah would be destroyed for their opposition they also believed that Jerusalem would be restored and be the city of the great king they knew that the Jews scattered throughout the earth would be re-gathered to Israel and that also Israel would become the center of the world and that all nations would be subject to messiah and they also believed that after messiah began to rule the earth would enter into an eternal peace and joy so that gives us insight into the question of the disciples you see they'd been influenced by the teachings of their day and the old testament prophets saw the coming of messiah and and they presented it in the way that was being taught her in that time as a single event they believed that that when there was a tribulation struggle and that when the Elijah the one unto like unto Elijah would come then the next step would be messiah establishing his kingdom and one of the things they didn't see and you might want to make note of this is they didn't see the church in all of that they didn't see that God was going to create something called the church the old testament prophets saw the coming of messiah as a single event but they didn't see this period of time that God would actually work through something that he created called the church now Paul speaks about that Paul in Ephesians chapter three verses four and six says this he says in reading this you'll be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ which was not made known to men in other generations as is now been revealed by the spirit to God's holy apostles and prophets this mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel members together of one body and sharers in the promise in Christ Jesus that was the mystery of the church they didn't see it you see as i've said to you many times in the Old Testament humanity is basically divided into two two people groups they're Jew and Gentile that's all you have in the Old Testament the Jew and the Gentile but in the New Testament you have Jew Gentile and the church and the church is made up of Jews and Gentiles and that's a new entity in the New Testament Jesus Christ is revealing this but the disciples don't understand it at that mind so in their mind the events of Jesus's ministry pretty much had followed the course that they were expecting Israel had been under severe tribulation John the Baptist had presented Jesus and so certainly now Jesus is about to establish his kingdom and that's why they're they're wondering about these things now Jesus has departed from the temple and he's there on the Mount of Olives which is just east of the temple now according to Mark in chapter 13 verse 1 as he was leaving the temple one of his disciples said to him look teacher what massive stones what magnificent buildings and even as we saw a moment ago in our visual indeed it was magnificent John chapter 2 verse 20 records that restoration work on that temple had been going on for some 46 years and some of the stones that were there in that temple structure were 40 feet by 12 feet by 12 feet and weighed over 100 tons and what's also very interesting about that is they were quarried as a single piece and transported many miles to the building site and that was to keep the sound of man's labor out of that area it was an incredible structure huge huge stones and and it was adorned it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations and so you had the beautiful carvings but you also had these wealthy people who would give gifts of gold sculptures and gold plaques and other treasures and the gifts that they had were displayed on the walls or suspended from the roof and were extremely valuable and the disciples when they would look at this huge beautiful white structure it looked like pure white in the midst of the wilderness there on the hill and when you saw it it was just it was so magnificent and so awesome and so beautiful you would be overwhelmed with it and something inside of the disciples when they saw the beauty of that temple something inside of them went off and they said oh lord isn't that a beautiful beautiful temple that's why they were so surprised when Jesus in verse six said not one stone will be left here upon another that's why it blew their mind that Jesus said it was going to be destroyed so naturally that provokes their question in verse seven and their question is teacher but when will these things be and and what sign will there be when these things are about to take place this is hard to believe can you tell us something about this can you give us some details about this how is this going to happen again cross-referencing this with mark chapter 13 verse 3 mark writes that jesus was sitting on the mount of olives opposite the temple and peter james john and andrew asked him this question privately again their question is basically comprised of two parts when will these things be and what sign will there be when these things are to take place first the question is when will these things be again at this point they don't see the church age they're expecting him to establish his rule immediately after his resurrection and so they're wondering is this what's going to take place but second and i want to point this out and start looking at some things with you what sign will there be when these things are about to take place you have to remember something about the disciples again they thought that the kingdom was about to be established in luke 1911 people thought that the kingdom of god was going to appear at once now here's something for you and i want you to see this with me in verse 7 i want to read it again i want to show you something here you've seen it before but i want to point it out again teacher but when will these things be and what sign will there be when these things are about to take place how many signs does he do they ask what signs no they say what sign now that to me is a very interesting thing because in a moment we're going to see that jesus actually says several things but i want you to see this because it's very important and it may be something that i'm not going to clearly be able to explain to you today but i'll try i want you to see it because they asked the question what sign jesus gives various things we'll be looking at things in a moment like famines and pestilences earthquakes et cetera we'll see those in a moment but they asked the question what sign and i want you to see the immediate response to jesus in verse 8 because he gives to them the sign take heed that you not be deceived for many will come in my name saying i am he and the time is drawn near therefore do not go after them what is the answer to the question guys do you see the answer what is the sign and jesus's response is deception do you see that what is the sign not the signs what is the sign and jesus's immediate answer is spiritual deception that is the primary sign that you are in the last days spiritual deception in the new testament and i didn't want to give as many scriptures as i could because in the new testament this is universally prophesied spiritual deception is rampant will continue to grow and prepares the way for the acceptance of the coming world ruler called the antichrist how is the world ruler going to be accepted the way the world ruler is accepted is through spiritual deception that's how the world is going to follow and wonder after one the scriptures refer to as the beast and and you see this over and over again in first timothy chapter four verse one paul said the spirit speaks expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons the apostle peter and second peter chapter two verse one says there were false prophets also among the people even as there shall be false teachers among you who secretly shall bring in damnable heresies even denying the lord who bought them and bring upon themselves swift destruction in first john chapter four verse one john said beloved do not believe every spirit but test the spirits whether they are of god because many false prophets are gone out into the world and jude in verses three and four said beloved although i was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share i felt i had a right and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints for certain men have whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you they are godless men who changed the grace of our god into license for immorality and deny jesus christ our only sovereign and lord you see that in the testimony of paul the apostle peter the apostle john and jude you see that in the lips of jesus christ what is the sign the sign is deception it's the overwhelming sign that you see that is presented in scripture it's the first and primary sign i really believe very strongly that we're living in days that answer to that sometimes as a minister then i have to be careful here because i don't want this to come off wrong and i don't want you to misunderstand what i'm trying to say but as a pastor sometimes i'm absolutely flabbergasted over what people who claim to be christians say they actually believe and i've discovered that there are several reasons why people can believe the wrong kinds of things one is they may go to a church that simply doesn't teach the bible it just doesn't teach it i mean you you get there and and you don't even need to bring the bible you don't need it because it's not going to be taught they might give you sermon outlines or they might give you a book that the pastor recently either read or wrote himself and you'll get that and that's basically what you get on a sunday and though you guys may have grown up in calvary chapel and and this hasn't been your experience i can tell you that that is the experience of many people who go to church on a sunday it's a prepared thing for you you don't even have to read the bible there's no encouragement for you to do that you'll go to church and the individual who's behind the pulpit doesn't even teach the bible who give you something for you for that day and and that's about it and so when they're not being taught the bible pastors are refusing many pastors are refusing because they're afraid of of upsetting congregants they're afraid to get people upset at them because of the things that they say what the bible may actually be presenting to them and so they won't read it to them and they don't they don't teach it they're afraid of upsetting people because the bible sometimes can cut right to the heart and people don't like it especially today they don't like hearing that they're not the best thing since sliced bread they don't like to hear that they might need to get their life in order a lot of people get insulted and upset over that kind of thing to actually have the bible presented to them in a way that that takes them from the A to the Z is going to point out that yes there's blessings and yes God loves them and yes there's heaven but there's also curses and there also is is God's anger towards sin and and there's also another place called hell and when you give the full counsel of God you're going to see both heaven and hell because it's presented that way you see and not everybody wants to hear that so there are pastors unfortunately that will not they refuse to teach the whole counsel of God and because the pastors don't teach and value the whole counsel of God the congregation does not receive love and abide in the things of the Lord so they end up messed up they go to a church that doesn't teach fact is just because a person goes to church doesn't mean that they're getting saved or believers i was listening to somebody just the other day who was asked a question now maybe you heard the same thing it was on on a cable news network and i was listening to a conversation where the the interviewer asked a question of his guest and he asked him something like this he said to him do you think that Jesus was in favor of of abortion do you think that he was in favor of of abortion and and the guy said oh yes of course he said i believe that there are things that jesus believes that that you would consider to be radical today but he was a revolutionary and he and and i'm certain that that that he had no problem with that at all and as i'm listening to him and saying other things similar to that i'm realized and of course this man doesn't read the bible he most certainly doesn't know the lord jesus christ but he absolutely believes what he's saying is true but the thing that bothers me the most is there are other there are other people who are professing christians who would argue hammer and tong that jesus would be in favor of of abortion he's in favor of gay marriages somewhat argue i have heard the arguments i've been part of the arguments and i know those arguments are there and they're coming from people who don't believe the word of god i had a meeting a few years ago i was invited to go to it was in another city here in the local area and it was in i was invited to attend because there were some arguments and debates going on at that time related to some some legislation that was being debated and looking to be established as law in california that related to homosexuality and all and so i went to this particular meeting and there were in that meeting there were about 60 or so pastors and religious leaders representing churches and all in this area and so as i was part of that meeting it was put on by one of our state senators um as i was um i believe as a state senator as as we're there anyway it was one of our our elected officials and as as i was there uh they began to discuss the merits of the legislation whether it should be something the church is behind it's the church opposed and that kind of thing and as i listened to it the debate and the discussion went on and several pastors uh spoke and and and then finally uh i raised my hand so that i could make a comment and and i shared a little bit about about what the scripture has to say about about that issue homosexuality and how that the lord is a gracious god who forgives those who have committed the sin but he never gives permission for us to continue in it read the scripture and quoted it and um you know and gave my contribution the people who are who are hosting us got absolutely really upset because it was a woman pastor and a lesbian assistant and she didn't like hearing what i said for some reason i don't know why she got she got upset that isn't so disturbing because i would have expected that but one of the other quote-unquote pastors raised his hand and he said he said this is no big deal he said i don't know why we should make an issue out of it he said it's only mentioned in the scripture a few times and i couldn't contain myself i was sitting in the front and i turned and i looked at him and i said how many times does god have to tell you something before you listen to him he doesn't have to say it more than one time if god says it one time that's enough for me one time so if he says it a few times doesn't that emphasize the reality of what god is saying but there are a lot of people who don't see that i'm telling you i this is this is what i do i'm telling you that's out there and you know that too some of you know that too it is out there this attitude and it comes from not getting in the word of god it comes from not studying the word of god not believing the word of god that's how deception occurs it flows into the church from pulp it's very often it flows into the church in a variety of ways and it's all deception because they're not seeing Jesus for who he is there are quite a number of people that go to churches just like this one and throughout the united states quite a number of people i would say many many many people who go to church who think themselves to be Christians when in reality they have never committed their hearts to Jesus Christ and they just think they're believers even in churches like this i see it all the time i have people who get saved in this church who have been in the church for years i've had people say i was here for five years before i realized i'm not even saved and i'm amazed at that i'm amazed they could put up with me for five years you know but they did and they've told me many i've heard this many times they said i finally realized that i had told myself for years i'm a christian when i never have embraced Jesus as my lord and savior i simply knew the christian terminology i was able to talk the born again talk i learned a foreign language i was able to communicate with other people you know we have christianese you know we have a language of our own christianese how you doing well praise the lord i'm doing fine well hallelujah i'm doing fine too bro yeah amen you know we have our own language you know christianese we learn how to speak it fluently but that doesn't mean we understand it it doesn't mean the number one thing and this is something i actually should i could have just taken you just to this one thing deception deception check your heart are you really walking with Jesus Christ check your heart when you hear a study and i say living together is a sin do you agree with that or disagree with that when you hear me say you know what man why are you drinking and getting drunk do you get mad or do you make excuses well you know what i inherited this because you know i'm a hispanic and we like to drink what can i say you know it's part of my culture you know you know what do you you know you make excuse for your sin because you don't turn away from it you don't repent you think it's okay because you've misunderstood grace you think grace is permission grace isn't permission to continue in sin grace is god making it possible for you to flee sin and to go to heaven and perhaps you haven't understood that deception and the worst deception is self-deception because you have convinced yourself that you're a christian when in reality you're not and so jesus is speaking he also speaks in verses nine and ten when you hear of wars and commotions do not be terrified for these things must come to pass first but the end will not come immediately and he said to them nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom a second thing he points out is that you will hear of wars and commotions also rumors of war you hear them and that word here is in a greek tense it means you will be hearing of it constantly you will constantly be hearing of wars and commotions it's been pointed out that out of 5 000 years of history there has been over 4 000 years of war in the first portion of the 20th century over 60 million people died in two world wars alone and it's been said that mankind has stockpiled enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world 17 times over in flames reaching 130 million degrees in our lifetime we have seen third world nations with aggressive designs continue to increase there are several military dictators who are presently ruling and some will bomb israel when given the opportunity and if they had nuclear technology it's a sure thing that they would do so since 1992 over 15 nations have nuclear technologies of one kind or another and yet the lord jesus christ is making it clear that this is part of what will take place yet do not be dismayed he goes on and gives another sign he speaks concerning earthquakes we understand that don't we earthquakes earthquakes in various places well we see that there are at least several million earthquakes a year but many go undetected because they're too smaller they're in remote areas i i was looking up something today about earthquakes and i discovered that in the month of july alone there was an earthquake off of the coast of russia north just north of japan in eastern russia of magnitude 7.7 there was one off of hanshu japan of 7.0 and another of 6.8 and the one we had here in our area was at magnitude 5.4 that's in july in 2008 this year in 2008 alone 87,743 people have died in earthquakes so earthquakes are continuing and will be increasing in frequency so jesus points out you're going to have wars rumors of wars you're going to have international wars you're going to have earthquakes and he goes on and he speaks concerning famines famines i was reading this today as a result of severe drought and greatly reduced food production at least six different african countries are currently experiencing widespread famine and starvation the country's most impacted include ethiopia with 15 million zimbabwe 6.1 million zambia 2.3 million mozambique 515 000 the sotho 444 800 and swazaland 231 000 they are experiencing severe drought and famine in 1985 the 1985 world reported famine in ethiopia and it predicted that the current crisis that the current crisis there would be seven to 15 times worse for zimbabwe half of their overall population of 12 million risks starvation because there's been no harvest and no no rain moreover due to increased vulnerability to disease brought on by the famine another 3 000 deaths could occur in the next few months in these countries the menonite central committee reported an estimated 12 million newborn babies die of malnutrition every year in developing countries and millions in america live below the poverty line jesus speaks of pestilences those are also plagues the lasagne committee for world evangelization wrote some 250 000 children will go blind this year for lack of a 10 cent vitamin capsule 230 000 will contract polio because they don't have polio shots 14 million will die of common illnesses and malnutrition and 100 million children will live on the streets and enter into crime prostitution and corruption worldwide there are at least one million deaths by malaria per year there are some two million who die of tuberculosis almost three million children die from vaccine preventable diseases and four million children die of pneumonia and this is increasing we have something now called AIDS of all the AIDS victims in the world 70 live in africa that means 30 million of the 40 million victims of who have been infected with hiv live in sub-sahara africa as much as 20 of the population is infected and 6 000 people die every day in africa because of AIDS what's interesting is AIDS was first reported in 1981 and in that year there was a total of 189 cases that were reported to the centers for disease control from 15 states in the district of columbia 76 percent of those reported were from new york and california 97 percent were men 79 percent were homosexual or bisexual men there were no cases amongst children but in 1990 43 000 cases were discovered over 66 percent reported were outside new york and california 11 percent were women 800 cases were children under the age of 13 but now AIDS is the leading cause of death in both men and women under the age of 45 and children between the ages of one in five in the united states it started out small in cases in numbers in a total of 189 cases and now the estimate is something like 40 million infected with this plague this plague called AIDS 63 percent of all STDs affect people under the age of 25 every year there are a million new cases of pelvic inflammatory disease 1.3 million cases of gonorrhea 134 000 new cases of syphilis and 500 000 new cases of herpes when i was in high school just because i was not because i was interested but because i like to i thought i was shocking i like to shock you know they gave us an assignment in one of my classes and i actually did some research on venereal diseases just because i wanted to appear to be cool to the teacher and in my you know 17 year old zeal for for trying to get down to the facts i could only find that there were two basic kinds of venereal disease that that people were dealing with at that time it was syphilis actually it was one no syphilis syphilis and gonorrhea that was basically it now we have so many that they just give them strains they come x or y strain or whatever there are so many varieties of these diseases and so that's what we're seeing right now jesus is saying that the days prior to his return are going to continue to escalate in evil and pain that's what's going to happen in that interesting we'll look at that in some detail as we go through this but that's the point that he's making and yet in matthew chapter 24 verse 8 jesus said all these are the beginning of sorrows all these are the beginning it's just beginning so what do we do well what we do is as believers we live for jesus christ and we keep encouraging people to get right with god and to wait for him and to renew our strength in him you know as i look out today i have to be honest with you and this you know sometimes i as a minister i i can get discouraged and i do i can you know i wish that i could walk up here and say do you know what guys i have never i don't ever get discouraged i am always man i'm on top of it i am always just i just no no that's that would be a lie i get discouraged i get discouraged sometimes because i see people who call themselves christians you don't even have a concern for the things of the lord i i get discouraged because i see young people who who think you know what i don't need to walk with jesus right now i can go out and sew my wild oats and do the things that i want to do yeah why not party why not drink why not do these things why not waste my life because when i get older i'll get right with god i know the basics i'll get right with him later on and and what they do is they waste all the great opportunities that they would have to share with their friends about about jesus christ because they simply don't care about them that much and later on when they get married they marry somebody who says oh yeah i'm a christian and it turns out that person is just like them who claims to be a christian but doesn't walk with the lord and then god may get a hold of their heart and when god gets hold of their heart and starts changing it now they want to get right with lord and do things for god but their their husband or wife doesn't want to anymore because they never really did in the first place and then they end up miserable and i see that all the time and so as a minister i i'll stand up here you know and i love my fellowship and and i'll tell you the truth you know as i stand up here i i sometimes will stand up here thinking gosh lord i pray that people will actually listen and take this to heart and do something with it i pray that they do and i realize that on sunday people go to church because this is the united states don't we go to church on sunday and by the way this is closer than the church i usually go to i don't want to spend the money on the gas and everything like that i can swing in there and get the same kind of stuff that i get wherever it is that i usually go and that's how this church grows i understand that i understand that people look at churches like supermarkets they go in and they say well can i get five dollars worth of grace today well thank you very much and i understand that but it breaks my heart because in reality i see kids right now especially young people right now who are wasting their whole lives they're wasting their lives are buying into lives they're wasting their lives on relationships girls who are going out with guys who don't love the lord girls who are giving up their purity to these guys giving themselves to them for nothing other than the guy saying i like you or you're pretty and then dumping them and then they come and they cry to me and they cry to the people in our church you know he said he loved me and you know and i gave myself to him my dad gave me a purity ring and now i have to take it off because i gave up my purity for somebody who doesn't even care about me and guys are the same way you know going from one girl to the next you know who cares impregnating them some of our and some of our in some of our cities 80 percent of the girls giving birth aren't even married to the guy who's impregnated them 80 percent all you need to do is pick up the newspaper every saturday and look at birth announcements and you'll see that yourself you know mary smith and bob jones gave birth to a little boy you see that they're not married and they have no shame about it at all they think it's just fine i heard one young lady this is something i heard she said that she says my goal in life she was about 17 my goal in life is to have four kids you know with my boy friends she said so i can get enough money from the government so i don't have to work i can make 60 000 a year with four kids and i heard her say that there are a lot of kids are doing that and you know that some of you know that beyond a shadow of a doubt it's true they do there are people who actually do that and that may sound fantastic to you but it's true it's absolutely true and you have girlfriends some of you have girlfriends who have slept with guys just to find out what it's like they don't care and these are girls who go to this church or these are girls who go to church just to find out what it's like you know and then discover it isn't everything that was supposed to be and then they say oh god i blew it and that's kind of you know what god's grace they don't care it breaks my heart we are living in a time guys very serious times where the love of many will wax cold where jesus christ doesn't really matter that much where the bible is a cool book to have i've got several copies but i never read it and the only time that i ever get into it at all is when that guy reads it to me when i come to church once in a while when i feel like it and that's the state of the church in many places today and this church is no different than the average church and so i am concerned jesus is saying he's returning and he's warning us and he's telling us these are the things that are going to take place and we see these things in our day and what we ought to do is we ought to say you know the lord's word is true this is happening in my day nation rise against nation that didn't happen during the time of christ they had local wars but somebody would get in a boat and sail across an entire ocean to fight in a different country that takes them forever to get there no that didn't happen that happens now that happens now when you can get in a plane and you can fly a few hours and you can get to a foreign country and be on the ground fighting within two days that happens now it didn't happen then it didn't even happen during world war two but it happens now we're living in that day and we have to see that for what it is we have to get right with god and we ought to live in such an anticipatory mentality that the lord is returning that it changes our life we'll be looking at this in detail as we go through chapter 21


Hello friends welcome to the session I am welcome let's discuss the question that is without actually performing in the long division say whether the colline rational numbers will have a terminating decimal expansion or a non-terminating repeating decimal expansion. Now our given rational number is 13 upon 3125. Now before starting with the solution I would like to tell you the basic idea behind the question x equal to p by q is a rational number characterization q v of the form 2 to the power n and 5 to the power m where negative integers this implies has a decimal expansion which terminates expansion which terminates but if prime characterization q is not of the form 2 to the power n and 5 to the power m this implies x expansion which is non-terminating repeating let's start with the solution our given rational number is 13 upon 3125 so let x equal to 13 upon 3125 here we see that q is equal to 3125 and factors of 3125 is 5 into 5 into 5 into 5 into 5 this implies q is of the form 2 to the power n 5 to the power m this implies the given number has x has a decimal expansion which terminates the given rational number has a terminating decimal expansion hope you understood this solution and enjoyed the session goodbye and take care


Hi, everyone, it's Yamuna Turko, your Miss Vermont 2023. And I am here with CCTV to present something very exciting. I would like to introduce the Miss Vermont voice. So this show is going to be an interview style show. So I'll have guests on once a month, and we'll talk about different aspects of their involvement in the community, and maybe their ties to the Miss Vermont or Miss America organization. So I would like to have this first episode be an introduction to the show and kind of go over terms about the Miss America organization and about the Miss Vermont organization. So as I mentioned, I'm going to be going over the format and style of the show. And so the interview style will be I'll bring a guest on, and we'll kind of talk about themselves, maybe their understanding of Miss Vermont and the Miss America organization, and then their involvement with the community. First, I'm going to go over the Miss Vermont scholarship organization. Our director's name is Darcy Fisher. And the current Miss Teen Vermont's name is Ginger Regatius. She is from Manchester, Vermont. And I am Yamuna, and I am from Colchester, Vermont. So the first Miss Vermont was crowned in 1945. And since then we have had Miss candidates, currently called Delegates, but we'll get into that later, competing and they go on to compete at Miss America. So our first Teen Delegate was in 2005 and it was Brittany Rhodes, who is currently the Teen Coordinator for our organization. Moving on to the Miss America organization and more about that. So the Miss America organization, our current CEO's name is Robin Fleming. She is new this year. She just joined us in January. And our current Miss America is Grace Stanky. So she will crown the next Miss America in January of 2024. Currently, we do not know when the Miss America competition is going to be, but we do know that the Miss America competition and the Miss America Teen competition will be held together. Previously, this was not the case. And the Miss America Teen competition was held in early August or late July. So the first Miss America competition was held in 1921. And the thing that sets the Miss America organization apart from some other pageants or competition styles is that we are a scholarship organization first and foremost. This is really important because it supports women achieving higher education but also wanting to go on to tech school or become an EMT. So that aspect really, I think, sets us apart from other kinds of, like I said, competitions or pageants. We are also, as a part of the Miss America organization, one of the highest awarding scholarships to women in the country. And as a person who is really working to achieve my education, I think that's really important, having that scholarship will make the stress of it a lot easier. So as Miss Vermont, in addition to winning a scholarship, I also begin a year of service. So my service is to Vermont. My goal is to listen to Vermonters what they need. So I not only attend the super fun things like parades and different kinds of social events, but I also go into schools and I read to kids. I talk to them about books and literacy and really help encourage them, strive towards the goals that they want. And in listening to Vermonters, I'm able to broaden my own perspective and better serve Vermont. So next, we're going to go over a couple terms that I've already used, but I think it would be very helpful in continuing with this show. So the first term is delegate. Delegate is what we used to call candidates or contestants, but it actually is a young woman or a woman competing for the title of their state or for Miss America. Next, we have title holder. And title holder is someone currently holding a title. I'm Miss Vermont 2023, so I am a current title holder. Ginger Agatius, my teen, is a current title holder because she's the current Miss Vermont's teen. Next, we have CSI, which is perhaps one of the most important terms that we use, and that stands for Community Service Initiative. So this initiative is required to compete at the state level but also to compete at the national level. My CSI, or Community Service Initiative, is One Book, One Child, which focuses on helping encourage a love of reading in kids, while also promoting childhood literacy. I go into schools and I read books. I talk to them about why they like books and what kinds of books they like. And I also donate books to the schools that I go to in order to help them find the kinds of books that they like. Because not every genre works for everyone, I want to help kids find the genre they do like so they can develop a love of reading. And the final term we're going to go over today is your year. Your year is, well, my year started April 16th and it will end about April 16th because that is my year as Miss Vermont 2023. But that does not mean that my involvement with the Miss America and the Miss Vermont organization will end. That's because I will become a forever Miss Vermont. So in a year, or 10 months I think, I will become a forever Miss Vermont. I will forever be tied to the organization. I will forever support the next Miss Vermont and the next Miss Vermont's team and really work to help grow the organization but also help the current or the incoming title holders work towards the things they want to achieve. So with that being said, moving forward, this will be an interview style show. This was just an introductory episode. I'll be bringing people in who are part of the organization but also a part of the greater state of Vermont. And I would like to thank you all for watching and I will see you again next time. Have a good day.


Good afternoon, folks. Welcome to the HP-sponsored Lightning Talks. We've got a great lineup of speakers today. Just before I hand it over to our first speaker, I want to tell you about the draw that we're doing during this session. So if you don't already have a ticket, please raise your hand and until you receive one, you'll get one half of the ticket. If you're an HP employee, you do not qualify. And we're gonna, you get a chance to win this beautiful, it's actually a very beautiful 10-inch tablet that runs Android. So These are the Lightning Talks. They're gonna be five minutes and just five minutes. So I apologize if I have to cut somebody off It's not me trying to be rude. We just have eight or nine presenters today. Canadians, we do we do try not to be. Sorry about that. All right, so keep your hands raised up if you're interested in that ticket. We first have Lance Albertson coming up. He's from, he's the director of the open-source labs at OSU. So random applause for him. So my name's Lance Albertson. I'm the director of the open-source lab. If you don't know what we do, we provide infrastructure hosting for a lot of medium-to-large open-source projects. I deal with from Apache to Linux Foundation that whole bunch. So we dive into a lot of stuff. So what I'm gonna talk about is our adventures in installing OpenStack and using it with Chef. This slide is supposed to have a candidate, but it doesn't. Oh well. Anyways, as we all know, there's lots of services. It's really complicated.  There's so many different ways we can install it.  I like using the tools that I'm used to. And we've recently gone towards using Chef. So what we did was Chef to the rescue. Chef really helped us out, but it was really complicated in the beginning. We like it because we use it. Everything was on Stackforge, which is great. I had a really good repository to kind of lay things out, but it was a little complicated. There's lots of moving parts. It was kind of difficult to kind of see how everything was needed. Me being a new OpenStack user at the time, it was intimidating to kind of figure that out. So what we ended up doing was for those of you that aren't familiar with Chef, you create a wrapper cookbook. So we created our own cookbook called OSL-OpenStack. It's actually in our GitHub. When we kind of wrapped what Chef and the Stackforge had provided with cookbooks and we kind of put on our own little things. So it worked out really well. We could deal with site-specific things that we were doing. We could simplify how we were deploying our databases kind of with how we do things. One thing that was really annoying at the beginning with the Chef deployment is there was too many roles. It was just so many different roles. It was modular and we just paired it down to exactly what we needed. So we had a controller node. We had a compute node, eventually a sender node, and so forth. So it's been really good. And it's working out pretty great. To do that, we used a tool called Test Kitchen. It's a part of the Chef ecosystem. It's an integration testing tool. It's really awesome. It uses vagrant by default, but what we actually ended up doing is once we got our OpenStack instances up, we could use OpenStack to do our integration testing on Chef. So OpenStack's really helped us out on that side of things. So the kitchen OpenStack provider is awesome and it works really, really well. So we can do a lot of integration testing, right? Tests and everything. And the last thing I want to talk about was Packer. Packer is a cloud image creation tool. For those of you that know the guy who created vagrant, the same guy created Packer. It is an awesome, awesome tool. One of the things that I do with a lot of different platforms at the open source lab and I don't want to have to deal with five different tools to create an image. I want to have a sensible way of doing that. And that's what Packer does. I can make an image for vagrant. I can make an image for OpenStack. I can make an image for anything, any platform. Chef actually has a repository called Bento that basically has all the various Packer scripts that they use. It also has a lot of the things that you don't need to worry about when you're creating VMs on different platforms. Like all this, on W, you have to do this weird thing with networking and so forth. So what we did is we actually forked it and their repository is really bit on vagrant. But we wanted to make OpenStack VMs using it. So we forked it, created our own VMs. So if you want to be able to build all of your OpenStack VMs on various platforms, check out our fork. And well, except pull request. I need to talk with JJ and the Chef folks to actually get it incorporated upstream. So that's my talk. I don't know how much under five minutes I was at. All right. All right. Thanks so much. Next we have Jay Hendrickson, sorry. So is he in the room? All right, great. So for the folks that are just joining, if you haven't received your ticket to enter this drawer over here, raise your hand and we'll have one of my lovely staff members come over and give you a ticket. We start. Hi, my name is Jay Hendrickson and I'm a product manager at HP and we're going to talk about hardware. Somebody raising their hand. Okay, sorry, sorry. So, so OpenStack software, but deep underneath all of that stuff, there's hardware and it's not there just to create heat. It's actually the fundamental, the fundamental infrastructure underneath OpenStack. So we're going to talk a little bit about designing the hardware stack.  And so the first question you might ask yourself is what distribution should I use? So you could go to an OpenStack foundation and grab all these modules and pin them together. And after several months or years, have some type of distro. Or you could go and get a distro from some of the many vendors that are out there. One is HP Helion, Red Hat has one, Suze has one, Ubuntu has one, my dog has a distro. It's pretty good, it's got a couple of issues, but it's pretty good. But once you come up with the distro that you're going to use, you're faced with the complexity of architecting this hardware. And the thing that you want to think about is you can't just say, okay, well what are public clouds used, and I'll just use that same hardware. Because the hardware, if you do that, you're going to have some serious issues, especially if it's your first private cloud. If you have 20,000 racks of servers and you use a rip and replace type of hardware, that works great. When you're building your first private cloud, it may be a very small cloud in a rack. And if you have a node go out there, it could be catastrophic. So you need to think about the types of hardware that you might use, and it's going to be a little bit different. The next thing is you need to expect that your workloads are going to change. So if you're doing traditional IT, maybe, you know, when I say traditional, I mean all the way up through virtualization, but you haven't done a cloud before. When you get a cloud working, the behaviors of the users are going to change. Think of it like your mom's favorite meatloaf recipe.  Then you take a culinary class.  What if I may use less butter? What if I use more of this? Well, the thing is your recipe starts to change, and how you cook things starts to change. But that all happens after you took the class. So your workloads are going to change. You think you know what your workloads are, but you don't know what you don't know, and they are going to change. So you need to think about the hardware that's underneath because those workloads will change. So you need to expect that you're going to scale up, and you need to expect that you're going to scale out. In other words, you're going to add more memory to nodes. You're going to add more CPU power. You're going to add more hard drives for storage. You're going to do all kinds of things, and you're also going to scale out. When you build a cloud, you start out with something small, and you build it out. But you want to do that. And then you want to mitigate risk. And because after all, you're building a private cloud, you're going to spend, I don't know, half a million dollars, 400,000 dollars.   You know, maybe you want to think about getting some reliable hardware, some hardware that is easily managed, some hardware that's flexible, that you can redeploy as things change. So you want to be able to do that. And then, of course, the last thing is, how much time do you have? So I'm going to get to the point and let's talk about hardware design. So first, there's the management control plane. Now, I work for HP. I'm in HP server division. So the best hardware platform for the management control plane is DL360, one of the largest, excuse me, one of the most popular servers on the planet. And we do this, now, I'm not going to specify how many nodes you need and all this in the plane because it kind of depends on the distro that you're using and how things are deployed. So I'm going to kind of leave that up there for a second. Then compute. So we use DL360 and we use DL360 for our compute. They're very flexible. They're very reliable. We use 18 core Haswell processors in these Gen 9 platforms because it keeps a nice, dense compute platform. Let's see, I'll not read all this stuff out to you. I'll just talk a little bit more. For Swiss store, we use DL380s. We use large form factor drives because we're looking for capacity, not necessarily speed. Again, they're extremely flexible.  You'll be able to... Time's up. Time's up. Okay. Any last message? Last thing. Wait, there's more. Designing the hardware stack for your OpenStack private cloud. That is one Wednesday at 4.30. And I won't have to rush. Thank you so much. That was great. All right, next up, we're going to have the very funny and very personable Clint Byram. And a ticket for the dry yet. Raise your hand. Clint may... All right, here we go. All right, so this talk is like a Lord of the Rings marathon viewing party. And I'll explain to that in a moment. Why is it not on the screen? Please make it on the screen, Cody. That's fine. Can everybody read that? All right, can I talk now? Ah-ha. If the keyboard controls work, it'll actually work. All right, so I will explain why this talk is like a Lord of the Rings marathon viewing party, including the extended edition. But first I want to thank HP for having lightning talks. And thank the OpenStack Foundation for putting on this event. Also, I want to remind everybody that all of these words I'm about to say are not the words of HP. They are mine, so please don't get me fired. It is like a Lord of the Rings viewing party because by halfway through this, you'll be jealous of Gandalf for having fallen to his death about halfway through. So now I have a question for you. Does anybody know why OpenStack is like Chewbacca? By the way, there's zero content in this presentation. So you're welcome. Okay, OpenStack is like Chewbacca because outsiders don't understand a word it says, and if you do it wrong, you'll probably tear your arms off. Next. OpenStack is like a MiG-29. It's a beautiful aircraft. That is not why it's like OpenStack, though. It's like OpenStack because now that Larry Ellison owns one, nobody expects him to use it for its intended purpose. Switching to guns. All right, so this is for our host country. Thank you very much for your hospitality, Canada. I'm about to get thrown out, I think. Why is OpenStack like Poutine? No, not this Poutine. I am not making any jokes about this man. Not that one. This Poutine. Because right now you're all excited to try it, but by the end of the week you're going to be full of regret. I'm kidding, they're delicious. They're delicious. All right, so why is OpenStack like Canada? Anyone? Because it's awesome. All right, I like that one better. All right, no, because it's full of extremely polite people, except when the decision on what language to use comes up, and then the gloves come off. Lip-a-ton! All right, and why is OpenStack like the Holy Grail? Ouch, that hurts as a developer. It does exist. All right, because it promises all sorts of magical things, but it only delivers violently ejected cattle. All right, and why is this summit like the Rocky Horror Picture Show? All right, because it started out as a couple of lost kids in the woods, but I think they're going to try and serve us a meatloaf at the HP party. It is getting out of hand, folks. All right, that's all I have. Thank you and try the fish. So that's going to be a tough one to follow up, but I'd like to welcome up Shreem. He's an MVP. Is he here in the room? All right. Cloud Done, better known as Cloud Done. Hello, everybody. I cannot possibly beat what Clint did and... Well, I tried my best. But I think I'm lost, so there's a despite there. It just ended the first day. I'm already tired. We've got four more days. I can relate. So I'm Shreem Ramsubramanian. I'm founder of Cloud Done, a research analysis and SI firm. I'm also an HP Helion MVP. I've been plugged with the OpenStack community since cactus days. I started with my first install from Diablo. I'm here to talk about how HP Helion portfolio can help with your DevOps strategy. Now, who can define DevOps? What is DevOps? Well, if anybody knows, I would like to meet you in person. I want to learn from you guys. But until then, I'll start with the common DevOps tool chain. And again, it's a very short talk. I can spend an entire hour talking about DevOps and what we can do and what all the options are available. I'm just going to pick one and then try to see how possibly moving to HP Helion portfolio can help you. This is one typical tool chain. There's a various components here, build, CI, deploy. And then there are other tools and files that you would use like a backup or configuration management or source control. There's also commonly software for planning or issue tracking or collaboration. Now, you have a lot of infrastructure going on here. You'll probably have different environments, something to manage your CI server, manage your backup service, storage behind it, storage backend for that. So you have the operational complexity here to watch for. You have the multitude of environments and heterogeneous environments here. And finally, as an app developer, you can focus on your app. You don't really want to care about infrastructure. I'm not saying that the pain of infrastructure will go away or possibly you can move away completely, but at least by suitable choices, you can hope to have a better environment so that you can have more focus on app. But if you look at them, right, like, again, just like DevOps, I cannot possible list everything on the HP Helion portfolio. I'm going to focus mostly on IIS and PAS. If you look at the components here, some of them are services, some of them are software, and some of them, kind of, you can't call them as files, just block storages, right? And of course, there's people in process, a key part of DevOps. You cannot get away with that. So one possible way that you can improve your DevOps tool chain is, like, try to see if you can run your software on an IIS layer, right? Whether it's HP Helion OpenStack or HP Public Cloud. And then try to move your services wherever possible to the PAS layer. So what it could look like if you move to this... You can replace your build with Maywin, for instance, and then your deploy and CI with HP Helion CLI. You can try to replace your monitoring services with New Relic that comes with it. And then if you try taking out your services and then try running on VMs or instances on IIS layer, then what you end up is still like you still have to manage these things, but you will end up with a homogenous environment, a homogenous infrastructure. So you can take away the pain. You can probably also call that you can... putting everything in your one basket and if that fails, that's also going to be a problem. But at least you have a homogenous environment here as infrastructure so you can focus more on your application. Now, again, I want to say this is just like a possible indication or possible implementation. This is not going to solve all your issues, but something that you can think about. And I request you to take a look at HP Helion portfolio and see how it can help you to develop processes. And if you have any questions, feel free to follow at sriramandclouddown.com or hit me on Twitter at sriram here. Thank you. Great, thank you so much. So next we have someone from HP Labs and excited to introduce him. He goes by JK. So where's JK? Perfect. He's going to talk about something pretty interesting with regards to Neutron, which is, I know, all of our favorite topics. Hi, everyone. I'm JK Lee from HP Labs. I'm here to talk about an interesting way to express your complex networking policies and how to automatically compose them. So network management is challenging. Policy management is challenging because there are many different types of policies starting from security access control, QoS, middle box deployment. But the current interfaces for them are mostly fragmented and pretty low level. There's no single pane of glass where you can manage them all together in one place. And there are many different silos or stakeholders who have different versions of networking policies on the common network, starting from operators, tenants, and application admins. And we may also have some computerized programs like SDN apps who dynamically generate networking policies triggered by external events like a security and a forte event. But currently, the way to detect such conflicts between many different policies, typically angry phone calls from customers, hey, my network doesn't work, or then the way to reserve that conflicts requires some human effort to make another round of phone calls and then, you know, try to decide which one is more important or not. It's a little bit messy. So we propose a solution called the PGA, Policy Graph Abstraction. This is an application-level graph abstraction that allows users to specify their policy very naturally, as simple as drawing whiteboard diagrams. When you typically do, just discuss the reason about our networking policies. So we have a couple of examples from real policies. For example, the application administrator, Graph B, is allowing port 80 traffic, HTTP traffic from employees to the web just buying, drawing this graph. And then traffic should go through a load balancer, marked as an LB box. And it also allows the traffic from web2db and db2db by using the surf edge allowing port 7000. We have another interesting example, Graph C, which is SDNF from HPNet Protector. And it basically monitors the DNS traffic from normal hosts. And if something goes wrong or anomaly is detected, then the host is quarantined. And then quarantine hosts can only talk to the remedy server. And this is a kind of exclusive access control intent. And we have an intent API by basically marking that node as exclusive, that node edges cannot be changed at all, while no other edges can be added to this quarantine host. And so we have another kind of intent-level APIs that helps users to clearly define and clarify their user intents. For example, the cloud operator has a dotted edge to just express their pure service chain requirement which has nothing to do with access control intents. So we have an algorithm to compose them together into something like this. Although each individual policy grab looks very simple, the compose grab can be a little bit hard to manually compose. So we have automated algorithm that is also scalable. And it took about 60 minutes to compose a 20K enterprise IT AC policies. And you can easily walk through the graph and see that, for example, the engineering department deployed on campus A quarantined mark at the blue node can only talk to the remedy server while the engineering department and campus A with the normal status can have a connectivity to other servers or a host network. So we have an algorithm to implement this through the service chain as required by the individual input grabs. So currently we are integrating this into open-stack horizon GUI to enable users to easily drag and drop the policy grabs and edit them. And then we compose them together using our graph composure which is ready to be downloaded and deployed down to the neutral side. And we also have a policy enforcement based on dynamic external events. We have a brown back session Wednesday 11.30 so we can talk a little bit more about then if you can join our session. Thank you. So much. All right, next I'm going to invite Monte Taylor. A lot of you know him. He's a distinguished technologist at cloud in it. Possibly interesting. Okay, that's fine. So hi, I'm Monte and I'm going to talk to you about Glean which is the thing that I wrote to replace cloud in it because cloud in it wasn't working out for me. There's a couple of reasons for that. So it turns out when you boot a VM you need to kind of oh I can see it down there that's exciting. When you boot a VM you need what's happening at the time you boot it. Also as a precursor to this I use Ansible for orchestration so I don't need a lot of bootstrapping at boot time. I need a very minimal set of things so I don't need something with like ability to execute extremely intricate scripts or install things onto my VM when I boot it. I need something to get an SSH key on there. Maybe network. Depending on how Bong hits things are. So there's a few things that I absolutely have to consume at boot. There's really no other choice for it. That's basically a network configuration. I suppose I could build an individual image for every single different node in a non-dynamically allocated network but something tells me I would be blamed as being even more insane than I am right now. Maybe SSH keys. You can actually bake SSH keys into an image that you're deploying which we do but sometimes you may also want to be able to overlay a different SSH key that you might want to use in a test rig or maybe you don't like the idea of baking a public key into an image because you're freaked out by putting a public key somewhere that people can see it. I don't really know why you'd be freaked out by that since it's called a public key for a reason but there's many things that I don't understand why. The thing is the network information part of this should be really easy because there's this dynamic host configuration protocol called the dynamic host configuration protocol. It's pretty ubiquitous just about everybody on the planet uses it and has done so for 20 to 30 years. It's basically the basic thing that allows you to get IP addresses on your machines when they boot. Some people for some reason surpasses understanding almost as much as my obsession with this picture if you've seen my other talk today decide that they don't like to use that in their data centers because they're completely out of their ever loving minds because what those people think is a better idea is to run a custom written agent on a node that's going to do a file injection and overwrite my own config files that I stuck onto the node. I find that rude. So the thing Cloud in it is that it's great and it solved a lot of problems for a lot of the world and it handles many cases. It doesn't handle all of the cases. It especially doesn't handle this particular case where the networking information isn't actually available in standard places. Part of that has to do with patches that haven't landed to OpenStack yet. It also has some dependencies that conflict with my particular use case which is using spending up nodes that we use to test OpenStack. Cloud in it also depends on the same things that OpenStack depends on which means that testing the dependencies in OpenStack that I'm trying to test is hard. It's also kind of frozen because they're rewriting it. So rather than wait for that to sort itself out, I wrote a thing called Glean. It's small. It has zero dependencies. It only handles static network config in config drive or falling back to DHCP if your environment is sane and optionally it will read some SSH keys out of the config drive and it doesn't do anything else because that doesn't make any sense. So there's a patch up to Nova to put something like this into config drive.  But there's a thing like that and you can generate some static config from it. It's already integrated with Disk Image Builder so if you want to make an image that uses this, Disk Image Create, Debian Minimal VM, Debian Image Bootable in a cloud that uses this to handle all of its boot time initialization. You know what has less depends than minimal Python though? If you thought it was crazy for that, there's this language called Rust that they just release as a 1.0 and I do have a version of Glean that's in Rust that you can play with. We're not using this anywhere. It's not integrated with anything because they just released Rust as 1.0. But that actually has even less runtime instances. That's the crazy thing I'm going to talk to you about today. Thank you. Great. Thank you so much, Monty. Next we're going to have Godwin come up and speak about OpenStack Telemetry, which is something that is near and dear to a lot of our hearts. My name is Godwin Efjong. OpenStack Professional Services. I'm going to talk about Monaska monitoring as a service at scale. This is typically a presentation we give in one hour since I have five minutes. I'm going to go rush through. Okay. Okay. Monitoring, as it's needless to say, monitoring has been around for decades. However, the existing solutions do not address the problems or requirements of large-scale public and private clouds in terms of performance, data retention and security. Traditionally, performance and scalability and data retention have been limited to just hundreds of servers. But we know that in a typical large-scale enterprise cloud system that thousands of physical servers and hundreds of thousands of VMs that need to be monitored. Oops, sorry. What do you mean to do that? Why is it doing that? Excuse me. So monitoring as a service is not addressed by solutions such as Amazon's CloudWatch. It's not enough in the case that it's not open source. So now that we've addressed the problem my question to you is what is the solution? So the solution is Monaska. Monaska is an extensible scalable monitoring solution that leverages state-of-the-art analytics database. All components in Monaska can be scaled out and clustered for fault tolerance. All of its components are API. And the API supports querying metrics and measurements. With Monaska, we get what we don't get with other open source systems. We get metrics, alarm definitions, threshold calculations, all done server side. Existing monitoring solutions such as Nagios and Xabix do not even come close to the performance, scale and data retention capabilities of Monaska. What really sets Monaska apart is the separation of alarm definitions and the alarm creations based by using threshold engine patterns. Here, I'm not really going into the details but basically this is the Monaska very high level architecture. It uses the REST API as I mentioned. All the REST API authenticates against OpenStack Keystone services and all of them all of the APIs are associated with tenants and it supports multi-tenancy. This is the REST API published through Kafka messaging queue. It also has a notification engine that consumes alarm state transition messages from the message queue and also sends notifications such as emails to users when alarms exist. We use Kafka as I mentioned earlier and it also uses MySQL and plugs in exist for HBase and Cassandra and I'm not going to talk about that. The Monaska UI, as you can see here, is fully integrated into OpenStack Horizon Dashboard. Basically what it does is it visualizes the overall health and status of the core components of OpenStack so we can see the send and over monitoring, SWIFT and all. We have the VMs shown as DevStack and Minimon down there. Monaska has also been integrated with OpenSource metric dashboards called Grafana .org over there. So Monaska is fully OpenSource. The code is in the stack forage repository in GitHub. It is not at this moment currently an OpenStack incubator project but we are targeting incubation. We are working with the Slimiter PTLs and talking about how to integrate it into OpenStack. It is being used in production by companies like Time Warner Cable and Workday. We are working with companies that are contributing to the code, including HP, Rackspace and you can see the logos all there, Cisco, IBM, CloudSkill and IBM. My call to action to you right now is we are basically looking for developers and contributors. Basically this is an internal project we are working on in HP but we are looking for more developers and contributors to work on things like testing and so on. The resources you can check out the links there. Those are the links for Monaska. The Wiki page is there. Wiki.OpenStack.org Wiki Monaska. Thank you. Another round of applause for my good friend Godwin. So Monaska is in stack forage I think so you can actually go and see the code and everything like that if you are curious. Next up I am going to have Tarik as well as his colleague from Brocade. Has been here. So we are going to start in time. Can you do your presentation at the same time? Just do two at the same time? Oh boy. Going last wasn't a good idea especially after Jay Leno and the guy who we wrote called in it. Alright. So this is not my presentation. I cannot do NFE. Yeah sure. And then you guys go? Sure. So I am going to close this if it is okay with you and open up my presentation and put that on the screen. Let's see where it is. Yeah mine is not about NFE actually. It is not technical at all. Oh really? Okay so we go NFE and then I do mine. Okay. Hi guys. As you can see we are so well matched right now dressed exactly the same so Tom why don't you go ahead and open it up and then. Yeah hi. I am Tom Nadeo from Brocade. I run our open open source projects, open daylight, open stack, OP NFE. So we got together about a month ago and started talking about why don't we build a commercial version of an open source orchestrator and set out to prove that you could do this and that it works and it is pretty straightforward. So I think this was your slide? Oh no this was my slide. Sorry.  So one of the things that we talked about and I have talked with a lot of my customers is that they are kind of sick of should I say VMware and so they look at all of this swirl of open source components and they say hey isn't there a way to put these things together to actually give me an open source version of this for all the obvious reasons right? So I guess in what 5 minutes or less if this is possible I mean maybe it is obvious to you all in here but we go out and we talk to people and they go really you can do this and it works and yeah no kidding this works. So we put together a demo for the layer 1, 2, 3 thing 2 weeks ago works great less filling all that stuff and basically we put together brocades open daylight distro with our virtual router so you can use it and you can use it and you can use it and it works great and I think yeah I think the interesting thing was that when we started talking about it it is in NFV if you look at it what is happening in the IT and NFV is trying to accelerate it in the network and it is a lot of things that we are doing care of in NFV where people are talking about it quite a lot but not many are doing so as part of this demo what we wanted to show was that what the art of the possible is and how myth versus reality actually works so we are talking about a lot of things and you know we at HP we have a lot of slides but being able to show a working thing even though simple that's what we showed and we thought what's a better way of with so many different open source open standard bodies and under the auspices of app NFV and I'm hoping some of you got a chance to attend some of the sessions today with using app NFV as the host two different companies who have different products we were able to bring them together so quickly and be able to to show this demo development time of less than two weeks a lot of the problem was people were on vacation different meetings and different time zones but we were able to put it together just because it's based on open standards and as you see we were able to use HP's distribution of open stack Brocade's distribution of of open daylight controller and we were able to bring it together in this time and being able to show a site failover and site failover you'll see and you'll say you know folks in networks have been doing it since you know networks have been around but the beauty of this was this site's failover was based on analytics so what the art of the possible it showed was that if a site goes down you don't have to blindly move everything over to the other side you can send analytics to a orchestrator that can then provide some commands or controls over to the ODL based controller part of the components to one side part of the other ones all based on analytics and we did it very quickly because of what open source open standards have been able to bring it thank you very much so you should also say I think the demo that we did is recorded or will be recorded soon it is recorded it's available as part of OP NFP it was done working with AT&T who came up with the use case and it is available for anyone who needs it it's available and we're also we're showing a demo at our booth of basically the same thing this week as well alright thank you very much alright so we have one more last presentation I did it a little over so I apologize but I'm hoping that the chance to win this tablet over here is going to make it all worthwhile so I'd like to now bring up Tom sorry Ben I was Tom and he's going to give us a pretty interesting presentation so but he might need some help so I think we can just drag it over hello everyone so this is going to be I know you guys had a lot of technical sessions today so I'm going to do something a little bit different my name is Ben Zadeh I'm part of Hylian Open SAC professional service team my background is development but part of my research during my graduate program was on technology adoption because human psychology was very very interesting to me so I want to talk to you about behaviors that lead to technology adoption human behaviors that lead to technology adoption and how we can make how can we use some of those and those learnings and apply them to Open SAC so this is a picture of brain before and after it was triggered by enjoyable experience and as you can see it's common sense enjoyable experience triggered more activities and you may be wondering how that may relate to Open SAC so many companies have figured out a way to directly connect pleasurable experience to money to adoption and one of those was Cialis Cialis came to market late the market was dominated by another product and they they had to come up with a strategy so their strategy was is coupons now if you take a picture of this coupon and take it to your local pharmacy you get three free pills and I figured out that when people are using these three pills if they approach them during that time period and give them more information it is more likely that they adopt that product because they experienced the product they had a positive experience now you may argue that taking a using Open SAC is more complicated than taking a Cialis definitely involves more people so with Cialis you have one, two if you're lucky maybe three people involved but with Open SAC you have a chain you have multiple players multiple decision makers they have this similar viewpoints they have this similar interest on the other hand the product is different you have a product that's open source it has many challenges unanswered questions and it's disruptive it's disruptive to many players so for us to be able to when it comes to technology like Open SAC we need to look at the entire chain that it impacts we cannot evaluate factors just by evaluating one part of that chain now what are the constructs that we need to look at so that's why I want to introduce you to these two models these are technology adoption models they've been researched to death I promise you that but both of them technology adoption technology acceptance model behavior they both tell us that the main constructs that you want to look at is perceived usefulness and perceives of use now loyalty, trust all those play a factor but they all lead to into these two constructs if you measure these and if you have these two then there's a huge possibility for your customer to have the intention to use a product so take that now so if you have dispersed multi-directional POCs within an organization you cannot truly measure those two factors that I just mentioned perceives usefulness and perceives of use truly because you're measuring one part of organization you're not looking at the entire chain you need to look at the entire chain how that impacts the entire chain to be able to truly measure if your organization will adopt Open SAC and that's why I introduce you to SPOC I'll call it trademark SPOC is a super POC it's a normal POC it's a POC that goes beyond just your DevOps standing up 16 nodes of Open SAC and try to do what they do with VMware it involves your developers they need to develop something that is a cloud-ready application and test that on your Open SAC environment it involves your business leaders to measure and do cost analysis analyze the burst into cloud compare that to traditional systems and that requires a little bit of so that's my call into action that was my presentation I hope you enjoyed it thank you so much I appreciate everybody sticking around I know that we're a little bit over I'd like to now do the draw for the HP Slate which I assume is why you're all still here so I'd actually like to call BDL Garby up to actually do the draw so you might know BDL Garby he's a former PTL something or another for Debian, whatever they call it does everybody have a ticket? and while we're waiting to get those tickets just a few more things after this you can go down to our booth we're going to have actual live racks of hardware there that's demonstrating hardware from multiple vendors very exciting we also have a number of live interactive demos be sure to check out our awesome area over here called the Community Lounge it's amazing view and we're giving away s'mores and these hoodies you can actually get badges ironed onto them there's like keystone badges and everything yeah there's free beer we do that actually I'd like to note that there's free beer at our lounge every day after 3 o'clock beer and s'mores and fire pits and all kinds of stuff oh and party Tuesday night alright well I got a number from BDL here it is 816 072 you have it? alright sweet whoo round of applause for the winner thank you so much
