Okay, back there. Okay, so sorry for late. We have some technical issues. So Let's start it. So welcome everyone. This is the heat team session one of heating sessions and just reminding We also have other like other two heat sessions. So you have like to happen to like have interest with heat So don't miss it So this this session is about the project update of heat and And I'm recalling from a mistake. I'm the ptl of the Pica release and then Peter from red hat and also the ptl for the general release and I like to remind him we also have The other we also we have totally like 100 and 102 developer for to contribute at the Ocata release so that is for like recognition for those names if your names are not on top and you have like Review or email. We also thank you very much as well Then and that we can do more more recognition next time, but just for thank everyone. So We start to update project date The first thing is that we like to update our goal like actually like present our goal to everyone So the goal the the goal used to writing on the wiki page for heat is about We like to say We always trying to do is like to create a human and machine accessible services so Is a to manage your life cycle of your applications and recently like Then has proposed for the government's Open State policy about We should do more to care about everyone's like Applications whatever the scale is so there's like Like for care like overall cloud not just in one project, right? Heat doesn't survive by its own. He is one of the project and and so in in means that what we care is about the automatic or the scalable is state like stable and What you really feel comfortable about putting your applications or the infrastructure of your applications rely on heat to to to doing your job and Make it like that heat job. So I you you only care about your applications and we should we should make it that way so let let in turn that that's our goal and and Before we start to like update what's the news I Relate to like show briefly introduce what is Heat so heat is a orchestration services of OpenStack Basically, we we manage your OpenStack resources like you probably have entire days that heard about instance in Nova Valence and Sanger and he is he trying to manage those services in and try to orchestrate those services and to manage their life cycle and we can even include like managing the applications on top of low services and Heat architecture you can see like you put in a YAML file, which you like talking telling the heat about I want 100 Nova services and with like What kind of a neutral even like I want some Extra like out like Kubernetes or any kind of thing I wanted to deploy to those bare metal to those all to those virtual machines and He can do it. Let's what our purpose and the user user interface to will will help to call our REST APIs or all REST API services will call heat back end and heat back end will actually call the clients and We will do more detail on the onboarding sessions so we just briefly talk about it and Now we know is about architecture and we start to talk about What what what we're trying to achieve to the code and how we're achieving it, right? So on the way what we do is that we have implement like for new resource type in a new term and like 22 complete blueprints and Okata we have 11 new resource type implemented and 10 blueprints, which is already a very incredible number because Okata is a relatively relevantly short release and We also have like down in pika one which is which is like Release at the April and we have three more resource resource type also with a Complete blueprint so as update we would like say we are in good shape and We have we have a lot of a developing underworld which we will introduce later and And to talk about those new resource type Which you might be interesting because right now you're probably using not I don't think you're going to use in Okata right now Not good high chances. So you're probably using like liberty Metaca so you And you facing like going to upgrade your your environment and those are resources that you can considering to to manage by heat which is already possible and In from Newton we have like monoscar, Singers, QS and also Okata there's like Nova Keystone, Sahara Newton Destinate also a and the Zarkar and we also deprecated Destinate for for It just version replace and there's also always glance image So we deprecate grants image because it kind of creates some burdens for heat engines, but We right now we haven't find our Solutions for like like over the glance images. So we even though we deprecate it You're still capable to use it. So So don't worry that much and in the pickup. We also have like Magnum clusters and Newton Sun Newton resource under developing And maybe there will be like freezers on or even possible ironic some of that isn't right now currently under developing so might be chances so We update some of the resource type, which you might be interesting and You can use in the orchestrate open say orchestrate Shouldn't resource type list to to figure out what kind of resource type you already can capable to use and those resource type You're feeding within the YAML YAML the template which will actually generate exactly resource you need it. So You might be surprised to to look at your resource type list and you might you might find some new ideas how to manage your clouds Maybe put it inside of heat resource Heat template will be a good idea. That's what we're trying to push here to to make make everybody you try to using heat and So try it and For really for each release that is a tradition that we will have a new template versions which will contain new new functions those functions are We we avoid like projects like like projects or users trying to using a heat template, but but be but being break. So right now we have like New tongue okata and pick our release template version and we also have the the other like names of like like 2017 Dash some some months kind of forgot But that's the name that I Don't I don't think you guys want to remember it. I don't see you can't you guys can't remember it So how about you just remember like? Heat template version pika okata. So that's an easy dance and For the function releases that We have done a lot of new function logic you can list here. You can see the list here So a lot of function logic is kind of like a good chance that you you can go back to to see your template And you might be fine with some useful one that To to imply to imply those logic into your current template to make it like work more smartly, right and Those those functions are some of the new functions in the pika release are still Underworking but basically for okata and new terms that is already stable We think it's also we think it is stable. So it depends on the only users to report Right, but our test showing that that is all very stable thing. Oh Feel free to try it. It will definitely surprise you in a good way and Also that right now we have supporting tempest You can you can using the tempest to to run a lot of a test Which is actually going inside your environment to do a lot of tests and all those tests are actually running every day by day in our upstream gate and jobs, so In case some user may may trying to our like developing their own That's our support is that you right now can using tempest to to to run the entire test and There's some step that you you can you need to apply before you actually using the Tempest command, which is very easy steps very easy steps. So you can check out on the Give link the integration to see some remit and so There's a lot another update is about Convergence so convergence actually not new developed out from okata cycle But we'd like to keep mentioning it out because that is like we very recommend for a user developer or operators to apply it because the convergence is For us it's like the very smart and new generation of the heat stick and what is convergence Ensured is about like for example, I have I have a Kubernetes cluster and look like The the size of like up they probably like you have a template to become a stick Right and inside the template you have you have like those are the Kubernetes meaning minion nodes Those are the masternodes So the the green thing is about your resource like each one like this one is a Nova server that one is a It's a glance image and let's I depend on each other so there's an image to show to demonstrate and On the bottom left side It's the we like to call it like legacy stake Which probably is the one that you're using when you like using the old version like Juno version or other version That stake will be when you put in the resources and the friend is Represent like a heat back-end engine was just a single heat back engine So that engine is actually going to set your entire resource tree and and do the job by its own even when you have like a Very usable h8 usable h8 Environment let's still be the case for the legacy stake So it will do its own unless there's the nasty stake he was separated by stakes and In this case even this even even so only just two engine and at the right side There's a I would like to say the convergence mode, which we will talk about more detail in Onboarding session, but in short it just it's possible that right now that you can separate to like separate your entire stake template like to to the entire Over your heat clusters and those older engines will accept like accept like single resource and and Help you have you like deploy the entire thing very parallely, so It would definitely improve your performance in your environment performance If you have like more than two controller nodes so definitely I will hope that user is trying to use it and if you're using like I think it's from me talker and You didn't like you didn't give any config say no, I don't want convergence So it will default to be your services Newton Newton Okay, yeah Newton so it will default be your services in from Newton release So you have new release you say I don't I don't say I want convergent Sorry, it is your services you and it will help you we promise and Okay, so We have convergence update which I'm I'm referring the the right side of the the three items, right? so the three item will be like a Significant drop-down of memory usage the left side the right side of the diagram is actually not for a convergence But it is a diagram to show the bow What an improvement in leg and sake and the memory issue is always the We're trying to talk it Not just for a very big large scale of the open stack environment We're trying to talk it like even when you just have a single heat engine note heat note We hope that entire combination can work for you not create so much burden and We have like fixed the update cancel error So you you your environment might be operates at the same time by two users try to update the entire steak And you I mean your entire resources and now it's they won't they should not be any problems do so Also, we have like a resource property a Reality that is When you're trying to update your resources and usually you will feel like heat just keep Just finally update it, but right now that it is a feature that almost complete that you can update the steak and you will actually go check the Actually reality of the property of that resource and and see if the properties is Actually is some difference with the the template you're trying to update and then it will actually send it the update request when it compared to your live Resource property, so that way that you can make sure manage it of your stack more smartly and Actually, we have other versions of the tent the entire PowerPoint, but so the right side of the diagram is for like it actually for a test a test diagram in the in for triple O project and about that the heat we using is for Lake and see steak, which is not non-convergence but you can see the memory drop down drop down and then you can probably update sure. Yeah, so Towards the left hand side they can see kind of during Newton development the the complexity of the triple O templates was increasing and the memory usage in heat was was increasing with it and Stuff we did around the end of the Newton Cycle as you can see not that right back and since then it's it's been pretty flat so the The increase in complexity in triple O is not resulting in the same increase in memory usage in heat That there's there's one little bump there towards the end And there's little the this kind of gray shaded period is not entirely representative because triple O changed their config to use fewer engines so it uses less memory, but So the the first jump there in the middle of the graph is is an artifact of that The second one is due to a change in triple O But you know Memory usage is kind of under control now it would appear so that and this is the legacy case the an update on the convergence memory usage is We don't have a graph like this yet because we're not running a convergence job in triple O that we're probably going to start soon But Towards the end of last year convergence was using roughly double the amount of memory in triple O It's now 15 to 20 percent or 15 to 25 percent sorry higher than Than the legacy So we've we've not the convergence right back and that's With still quite a lot of work That's kind of being proposed in pike that hasn't landed yet. So we're hoping to bring it down even further Thanks Okay, so We have a lot of discussions about the convergent next step which are very much needed for like We we're very urgent We're very designed to have like user feedback or operator feedback to to guide our developers to know what to do so we also have like a large large orchestration stake sessions and We would like to invite everyone to join if you have any ideas about the large scale because the convergence is about to auto do the automatic to your environment to manage those resources and Which we which the next we suppose we call the next generation is still under developing If you can put in your effort or your any of your ideas, which will be very ideally We're very impressed. It will very Appreciate and we talk about automatics of I'm hand over to then and he will talk more about What is likely use cases and a lot of us seeing new things that cool things that we've been doing so Okay, you're now So this this slide is the thing that if you saw my talk in Barcelona You'll be kind of familiar with already we did a demo there That was just kind of hacked up script because the heat resources weren't ready yet But one thing I worked on during okada was to get heat resources for all the stuff set up So this is this is an auto healing Stacks so basically you have a heat template which creates a nova server. It also creates an aid alarm Sakaq as car subscription, which triggers mr. Workflow, which is also created a template And so what this basically does is heat heat you go heat stack create sets all that up Aid is listening for events from Nova on the Oslo messaging bus And if you can configure what events you listen for but this one's listening for a stop error delete and That triggers an alarm and aid Aid can deliver its alarms to as a car queue Scars subscriptions can treble trigger a mr. Workflow and the mr. Workflow got calls back to heat and says Hey, we've got an event on this server It's it's gone. It's dead So use the resource mark unhealthy command And then just do a heat stack update with the The minus minus existing option, which is basically keep the same template keep saying parameters Don't change anything but but do another stack update and Because the resource has been marked unhealthy When that stack update goes through it's going to say oh this this resource is unhealthy It needs to be replaced and so it will create a replacement server Update all the other resources that are necessary in the stack because they depend on that server ID So it up ads the the workflow config and that kind of thing And you're ready to go again So if you have another failure it will it will handle it so all the resources for that are Available in our carter the URL at bottom there. You can find the template for that On on the open stack heat templates for repo And this is kind of How we would like to To do more things in the future, so we're giving Every application is a special snowflake, right? It's every application has got its own way of wanting to heal itself after a failure or whatever So we don't want to implement a bunch of stuff that's in heat that's hard-coded in python That doesn't work for your application. We want to give you Plugable tools to say Okay Here's an event you you deal with this like you can configure as a user not as a as an operator How you want to handle the event so you can write your own mr. Workflow to do whatever it is you need You know if you don't want it to auto heal, but you want it to just send you an email and stop and wait So that you can check on whether you really want to replace that server you can totally do that in Mr. workflow and That will probably tie in also to Some of you might remember we were talking One of the evolutions of the convergence architecture We said maybe in the future will continuously monitor all of the resources in your stack and anytime one of them changes will immediately go replace it And I don't I don't think that's probably the right model because not everyone wants to replace the resource as soon as he decides it's found But what you can do is you can set up a Mr. Workflow which does that You can put it on a timer. There's a mistral chron trigger resource, which just runs a workflow on a timer And it can go back to heat and say okay. Go check everything and see if it's it's all there so that's something you can set up yourself and That's that's probably the way we're gonna move increasingly in the future is We'll use other open-stack projects to make To allow you to do whatever you want in a flexible way That's that's kind of our overarching philosophy, I think going forward. I just said going forward. I can't believe it And here's the graph again Skipping past that since we already talked about it. So there is there is one known limitation with heat It's actually the limitation of keystone basically as Most you probably know heat makes heavy use of keystone trust to allow us to Impersonate the user so when you go back and heat needs to change something later. It needs a token That that you provided Only with the API request so if it doesn't have a token we use a trust to come back later Yes for a specific resource that's right. Thanks, Steve but And that works great and also keystone federation works great, but they don't work together And and the reason is that with keystone federation you don't get a list of roles or keystone doesn't get a list of roles from the other keystone So we're we're trying to work that one out with keystone folks But for now you are limited to if you're using federation then you can't use any of the resources that require trusts If you're using trust you can't use federation So that's that's one unfortunate limitation which will hopefully be resolved in the future So the roadmap for Pike We've got a lot of good stuff happening actually Platinum 3.5 support that is more or less done. I believe right Rika. Yeah so That's that's something that all projects working on the cycle The neutron segment resource that has landed so you can use routed networks if that is your thing That is definitely come in pike Neutron VLAN trunk ports. So if you're using a two dot one queue on Novice servers, so this is implemented neutron the world's no heat resource for it that is in review at the moment That should have no trouble landing Custom resources managed by a best for workflows. So this is an interesting one so basically There'll be a I can't remember the name. I think it's external resource and You can define You can define what happens to the resource on create update delete With a mr. Workflow, so you you'll have a create workflow and update workflow delete workflow You don't have to define all the model. They're all optional, but you can you can define server workflows And so if you have some external thing that's kind of complex and needs to Needs to be done in a certain order or it uses APIs that are external to open stack That that heat can't access and you're not an operator. So you can't put it in a custom plug in Then you can do this again entirely from user space are calling this for workflows So that is in review at the moment. It's there's a little bit more work to do on it, but it is coming along Couple new and transit functions make URL so One of the things I've noticed is like just about every template has an output where you can Caternate together IP addresses and paths and stuff to make URL and It's kind of a pain because it's you know if your servers has an IPv6 address Then you have to make sure you put brackets around it But if it doesn't then you have to make sure that you don't and and all this stuff So make URL intrinsic function basically handled all that for you So it's a lot tidier you avoid the the massive string concatenation Uh, let's concat unique so that's basically get get two lists and get all the unique Things in there and put them into a single list coming up some internal architecture stuff, which probably only really affects people who are writing custom template plugins, which I suspect there aren't too many of in this room, but if you are The good news is that it will be very clear from now on which parts of the plug-in interface You are allowed to override or you're allowed to call from your template plug-in and which parts are kind of Just internally hidden subject to change at any time So The the downside of that is that if you are using some of that internal only stuff And you didn't realize your your template plug-in will break But again, that's only for operators who deploy and custom template plug-ins It at some point in the future We would like to make the same kinds of improvements to the resource plugins But that will be a much longer process and given people plenty of time to To make sure that their their existing resource plugins don't break Stable attribute values. So this is This is one that we probably should have done a long time ago. So right now if you have a resource and and say you have an output from your template, which is grabbing an attribute from that resource I like the IP address or something when you go Show stack and try to get the outputs It will go make calls to Nova to get the latest IP address and return that to you which is One silly because the IP address shouldn't change after credit server and to it's really slow if you have a thousand servers So projects like Magnum, yeah, Magnum that yes, yeah, Sahara They're creating a large number of Nova servers and they go they go Ask for all the IP addresses of all their servers and it takes them like several minutes to get them all so what we're going to do From pike onwards is when we create the resource We will get all the attributes that are referenced and outputs or another resources and will store the value in the database And we'll never need to go get it from Nova again so That means when you go show outputs that should be really quick from now on the The downside of that is if you were relying on getting some live data by doing that So if you were changing stuff behind heats back and expecting that to show up through the heat show outputs First of all, don't do that and second of all you will break For that reason, we're only doing this for convergence So if you have the convergence engine turned on you will get that new behavior if you're still on the legacy path You will you will get the legacy behavior And just to remind of convergence is the default starting with Newton. So if you haven't disabled it Since Newton you now have new stacks will be created with convergence So that's the other thing is convergence status goes with the stack not not necessary with the configuration option But once the configuration option is on Then new stacks get created and convergence and we have a migration tool That you can migrate legacy ones over That's the heat-managed command has that tool Memory and performance improvements for convergence. We talked about this a little bit before with the with the graph but Which again was not a graphic convergence, but but we're down just from double memory usage to 15 to 25 percent more There was a lot of database stuff that we've improved so convergence was pretty heavy on the database and we've dialed that back a lot Part of it is is just the architecture is does use the database a lot But it should be considerably less overhead On top of what we were already doing for then then it was in in new narrow cutter large stacks Have had some Especially you like software deployments when you've got like a large number of software deployments all going on to one server at Same time. There was a lot of contention in the database and we didn't have Some of the retry stuff we were doing in there was not working very well. So that should be improved in planks. So You should see less problems with database contention with large stacks and the last one that that Rico kind of touched on before is a Lot of the colors now in place to you know, typically when when you update a heat stack It's comparing the current the new template that you're giving it with with what it thinks the current template is And so we're going to add an option It's going to be a command line option. So the user can decide When they do an update, do I want to compare against the previous stack? Or do I actually want to compare with with reality and he will go out and ask the other services? Hey, what's the status of this resource? And and it'll compare against that instead of comparing against What it thinks it did last time So that's Again, it's optional for the user. It's It's not super well tested yet, but it's it's going to be available in pike so you can start trying it out and and Probably will have a few bugs to iron out, but it's it's something that's going to be Hopefully we'll move towards that in the future and once we have that it's going to open up some of the The other things we wanted to do in the future with convergence with phase two and that kind of stuff where not necessarily continuously Updating stuff, but but we can improve the architecture significantly to To be even more efficient than it is So obviously we appreciate any help. There's there's number of ways to contribute and Yeah, we'd be happy to see anyone in the room if you if you want to contribute Come hang out an IRC You know review specs blueprints raised blueprints Submit patches reviews. Oh, that's very well Yeah, we actually need all the re all the like reviewers and you we need users. We need operators Yeah, we need we need anyone like you want to help and any crazy ideas We will be fine. We won't bite We're used to crazy ideas You don't give us idea or we using all the crazy idea we want and we don't care So last slide It is all right question. Who's got questions? Yes You might be using a microphone so others can hear you Yeah, so this session is being recorded. So if you all can count on my phone so that people watching at home can like So as an operator you say that we require service like Zakar and Mistral and as operator I use head up The director so my question is when you think this will be available in this platform for using auto-wheeling excellent question so First of all, it's not required to use Mistral and Zakar, but if you if you want to make that available to your users, then yes, obviously I Don't have an answer on the timeframe For that it is something we're looking at but we As far as director goes, we don't have an announcement. I Both of those services are being used in the director under cloud. I believe the stuff Is there to install them, but it's not it's not a supportive part and and I can't do the time When that will happen, so I think our time is up so we'll just close these sessions and leave all the other questions to After the session, so thank everybody joining and hope to see you this entire week. Thank you


Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com coming at you with Mosaic basketball hobby pack number 49. This is 2019-2020 edition.

Bye. Bye


Live from Manhattan, it's theCUBE, covering AWS Summit New York City 2017, brought to you by Amazon Web Services. And welcome back here to New York with the Javits Center here in Midtown Manhattan for AWS Summit 2017, along with Stu Miniman. I'm John Wall. I was glad to have you here on theCUBE. We continue our coverage here from New York City. Well, if you're making that move to the cloud these days, you're thinking about privacy, you're thinking about security, you're thinking about compliance, big questions, and maybe some big problems that Bill Shin can answer for you. He is the principal security architect at AWS, and Bill, thanks for being with us. Good to have you here today. A cube rookie, right? This is your maiden voice. First time for everything. Glad to have you, yeah. So I just hit on some of the high points. These are big questions for a lot of folks, I would say, just in general, before we jump in, how do you go about walking people into the water a little bit and getting them thinking, get their arms around these topics? Absolutely. Still, among the first conversations we have with customers, it's our top priority at AWS and security, and customers are concerned about their data security, regardless of where that data is, and certainly when they move to the cloud, it's a real opportunity to be more secure. It's an opportunity to kind of think about how they're doing security and adapt and be a little faster. So we have a really prescriptive methodology for helping customers understand how to do cloud adoption and improve their security at the same time. We have a framework called the Well-Architected Framework, and there's a security pillar in that framework. It's built around five key areas, identity access management, which is really what you should be thinking about first, because authorization is everything. Everything's code, everything's an API, so it all has to be authorized properly. Then we move into kind of detective controls and talk about visibility and control and things turning on cloud trail, getting logging set up, all the detective controls, so that before you even move a workload into the cloud, you know exactly what's happening, right? And then we've moved into infrastructure security, which includes kind of your network trust boundaries, and zone definition, things like firewall rules, and load balancers, and kind of segmentation, as well as system security, hardening and kind of configuration state of all the resources in their account. Then we move on to data protection as we walk customers through this adoption journey, things like encryption, backup, recovery, access control on data, and then finally, incident response, we want to make sure that they have a really good solid plan for incident response as it begins to move more and more in their business into the cloud. So to help them way through the waters, we bring it up, right? I mean, the CISO is a key partner in cloud adoption. Organizations need to make sure security's in lockstep with engineering as they move to the cloud. So we want to help with that. We also have the cloud adoption framework, and there's a security perspective in that framework. The methodology for really treating security more like engineering these days, right? So you have dev ops, and now you have dev sec ops, and you've got security needs to have a backlog, they need to have sprints, they need to have user stories. It's very similar to how engineering would do it, and that way they're partnering together as they move workloads into the cloud. Amazon's releasing so many new features. It's tough for a lot of us to keep up. Andy Jassy last year said, every day when you wake up, there's at least three new announcements coming out, so it's a new day, number of announcements in your space, maybe bring us up to speed as to what we missed if you just woke up on the West Coast. Sure, sure, so customers love the pace of innovation, especially security organizations, they really like the fact that when we innovate on something, it means they might not have to put as much resources on that particular security opportunity or security concern. They can focus more on their code quality, more on engineering principles, things like that. So today, we happily announced Amazon Macy, so love it, it forms data classification on your S3 objects, it provides user activity monitoring for who's accessing that data, uses a lot of our machine learning algorithms under the hood to determine what is normal access behavior for that data, and it has a very differentiated classification engine, so it does things like topic modeling and regular expressions and a variety of other things to really identify that data. People are storing trillions of objects in S3, and they really want to know what their data is, whether it's important to them, and certainly, customer's data is the most important thing. So being able to classify that data, perform user analytics on it, and then be able to alert an alarm on inappropriate activity, so take a look at Macy, really going to make a big difference for customers who want to know that their data is secure in S3. Yeah, I actually got a question from the community when looking at Macy came out, we got a lot of questions about GDPR coming out, so if Macy or the underlying tech can that be used? Yeah, absolutely a great tool. We think AWS is the greatest place to perform GDPR compliance. You really got to know your data. You have to know if you're moving data about European citizens around, you really have to understand that data. I think Macy will be a big part of a lot of customer strategy on GDPR compliance. But to finish your question, we've announced quite a few things today, so Macy's one of them. We announced the next iteration of CloudHSM, so cheaper, more automated, feels more of the clustering that you don't have to do, deeper integration with things like CloudTrail. Customers really wanted a bit more control and integration with the services than what the previous iteration was, so we've offered that. We announced EFS volume encryption too, so EFS or elastic file system encryption at rest, it natively integrates with the key management system the same way that many of our services do when you're storing data. We announced some config rules today to help customers better understand the access policies on their S3 buckets. Good stuff. Busy day. Busy day. I mean, just from the security standpoint, when you are working with a new client, do you ever uncover or do they discover things about themselves that need to be addressed? Yeah, I think the number one thing, and it's true for many organizations when they move to the cloud, is they want that agility, right? And when we talk to security organizations, one of the top things we advise them on is how to move faster. As much as we're having great conversations about WAF and SHIELD, the web publication firewall, and SHIELD, our DDoS solution inspector, which performs configuration assessments, all the security services that we've launched. We're also having pretty deep conversations with security organizations these days about CodeStar, CodePipeline, CodeDeploy, and the DevOps tool chains because security can get that fast engineering principles down, and they're just as responsive. It also puts security in the hands of engineers and developers. So that's really kind of the conversations we're having. And they discover that they kind of need to get a little closer to how development does their business, talking in the same vocabularies, engineering, and development. That's one of the things I think customers discover. Also, it's a real opportunity, right? So if you don't have to look after a data center footprint and all the patch panels and switches and routers and firewalls and load balancers and things that you have on-premises, it really does allow a shift in focus for security organizations to focus on code quality, focus on user behavior, focus on a lot of things that every season would like to spend more time on. Yeah, Bill, one of the things a lot of companies struggle with is how they keep up with everything that's happening, all the change there. When I talk to my friends in the security industry, it's one of the things that they're most excited about is we need to be up on the latest fixes and the patches. And when I go to public cloud, you don't ask somebody, hey, what version of AWS, or Azure, are you running on? It's, you're going to take care of that behind the scenes. How do you manage the application portfolio for customers and get them into that framework so that they can, we were talking off camera, Gene Kim, just buy into that as security just becomes part of the process if I get more agile. Yeah, so the question is really about helping customers understand all the services and really get them integrated deeply, a couple of things. So certainly the well-architected framework, like I mentioned, is helping with that. We have solution architects, professional services consultants, a very, very rich partner ecosystem that helps customers. A lot of training for security. There's some free training online. There's classroom instructor led training as well. So that training piece is important. I think the solutions are really, they're better together. So we have a lot of great building blocks, but when you look at something like CloudTrail, CloudWatch events and Lambda together, we try to talk about the solutions, not just the individual building blocks. I think that's one key component too to help them understand how to solve a security problem. Take for example, monitoring the provisioning of identities and roles and permissions. We really want customers to know that that CloudTrail log, when someone attaches a role to a policy, that can go all the way to a Slack channel, that can go all the way to a ticket system. We really want to talk about the end-to-end integration with our customers. And really to help them keep pace with our pace of innovation, we really try to get the blog in front of them. The security blog is a great source of information for all the security announcements we make. Follow Jeff Bar's Twitter, bunch of things to help keep pace with all of our launches and things, yeah. You brought up serverless. If I look at the container space, which is related of course, security's been one of those questions. Bring us up to speed as to where you are with security kind of containers. Yeah, sure. I think Lambda's tenant isolation is very strong in Lambda. We have a really high confidence in the tenant isolation model for those functions. The nice thing about serverless, right, is that when there's no code running, you really don't have a surface area to defend. And I think for a security perspective, if you were building an application today, and you go to your security team and say, well I'd really like to just build this little piece of code and tie these pieces of code together. And when they're not running, there's nothing there that you need to defend. Or would I like to build this big set of operating systems and fleet management and all the things I have to do. And it's kind of a pretty easy conversation, right? But all the primitives are there in serverless. You have strong cryptography, TLS endpoints. You've got the IIM policy framework. So identity access management has really consistent language across all the services. So principles, actions, resources and conditions is the same across every service. It's not any different for serverless so they can leverage the knowledge they have of how to manage identities and authorization in the same way. You've got integration with CloudTrail. So all the primitives are there and then customers can focus on their code and being builders. So it sounds like that's part of the way to attack security for IoT then. Yeah, I think for IoT, it's a very similar architecture too. So you have similar policies that you can apply to what a device can write to in the cloud. We have a really strong set of authorization and authentication features within the IoT platform so that it makes it easy for developers to build things, deploy them and maintain them in a secure state. But you go back to the well-architected framework and the CAF, the Cloud Adoption Framework, you take those five key areas, identity, detective controls, infrastructure security, data protection and IR, instant response. It's pretty similar across all the different services. It just comes back to the fundamentals. It does, yeah, absolutely. And for customers, those control objectives haven't changed, right? I mean, they have those control objectives today. We'll have them in the cloud and we just want to make it easier and faster. Well, Bill, thanks for being with us. You bet, thank you very much. Good to have you on theCUBE. Look forward to seeing you again for the second time around. I'll see you in event, hopefully. Bill Shin from AWS, joining us here on theCUBE. Continuing our coverage from AWS Summit here in New York in just a bit.


What's up? How are you guys this weekend? We have another Pinterest girly and if you guys are unfamiliar with that term Pinterest is this like social media site where girls post their like ideal lifestyle like artsy stuff like really clean ideal lifestyle like that's what all these background pictures remind me of and It's kind of a funny analogy because you know if these girls care much about making their lives look that perfect on social Media, you know, they're messed up mentally. Just like a lot of these health-obsessed people think they're eating healthy You know restricting their calories starving themselves. They look good on the outside, but they're destroying themselves on the inside. So maybe the Pinterest girlies need some mental and physical help, but today we're gonna see what she eats I I Have genuinely spent what feels like so much of my life trying to understand what a healthy relationship with food looks like I have delved into the vast world of nutrition wellness and diet trends I've watched hundreds and hundreds of what I eat in a day video But people claim that drinking greens on an empty stomach change their lives or that cutting carbs out of their diet miraculously Clear their skin and the list goes on and on so she's already painting herself as an expert by the way I've had like a hundred thousand subscribers on YouTube now for I don't know a few years and I know that YouTube doesn't Doesn't really like me that much and They probably know that the first thing I would do if I got this plaque was like heated up to a thousand degrees and cook a steak on it But I guess that's why I'm not getting one It's easy to get caught up in the promise of quick fixes and a one-size-fits-all Solution, but I've come to realize that the path to a good relationship with food is unique for every single one of us Battling to find a good relationship with food can be so challenging and it's deeply a personal journey in today's world We're bombarded with conflicting messages about what's healthy. What isn't how should we look? It's so easy to fall into the trap of eating food as the enemy rather than what it actually is right So it's a source of nourishment. There's dude. How could you work out and have your dog crawling all over you when you're working out?  All right that implies that you want to play with it Like it's just oh, he's so handsome. It's a dog. It's not handsome. Okay? You could anything but handsome is okay.   It's drastic meant pleasure and comfort Barking on this journey is not just about the food that we put on our plates It's about cultivating self-love compassion towards ourself in realizing that perfection is not and will never be the goal Instead it's about focusing on creating sustainable eating habits that we enjoy that we can maintain It becomes a lifestyle a way of nurturing our bodies and minds now I think we can all agree that the constant stream of diet trends and transformation stories can be so overwhelming How enlightening how enlightening? But it's so crucial to remember that there is no unique approach to nutrition and that's okay We're all so beautifully unique and what works for one person might not work for the other one It's truly just about working This intuitive eating this unique have to figure it out thing is is really nonsensical when you understand that Every group of human beings had similar dietary factors Western prices book nutrition and physical degeneration is an excellent example of this because whether it's the Scottish Gaelic's eating Oats and fish the Swiss lochental they were eating like dairy products and rye bread you know you have all different groups of people that had the same consistent factors in their diet which is presence of animal protein and animal nutrition and presence of some type of energy source typically plant-based carbohydrates and starches With our bodies and understanding our own hunger and fullness cues It's about appreciating the wisdom of our bodies which know exactly what they need at the end of the day Out of all the days of eating we've seen this might be one of the best breakfasts I'm trying to jog my memory, but like This is about as good as you can get.  You have eggs animal protein cholesterol I mean granted not everything is organic in the highest quality. That's a whole different discussion Figs are relatively low inflammatory. You know you're getting some fiber. You're getting some sugar some nutrition but not one thing in this meal is nonsense You know no vegetables no seeds Nothing like that's unnecessary and inflammatory So for breakfast today, we're having toast with ricotta and figs and I actually saw YouTube short I think from Emily Marico Look if she fed it to me, I'd probably eat it. I'm not gonna lie and she was doing that I know I used to do this with like goat's cheese, but she put ricotta and I couldn't think about it this morning, so I had to make it so good getting vegan vibes. Mmm, so good Yeah, this is really Pinterest really this jar like the presentation on the food Percents which are just literally all over tiktok all over Instagram Finally, so I booked it last weekend and they only had availability to go today So I'm going today and I'm so excited.  I'm really scared that like it's just like super dry and hard because I don't know I guess it's really hard to cook it right, but Let's see. I'm wearing these jeans from Good American. This top is Abercrombie.  I'm gonna go walkies. You want to go walkies He doesn't believe me. It's like you're saying we're gonna go walkies for half an hour and you take so long woman I'm sure Honestly this bag I feel like it doesn't do it justice, right? It is much bigger, but the croissant has been secured like are you kidding me? Okay, we're fine. I'm doing a little taste test Okay, like Pinterest girly.  She's not gonna look like that Embracing variety has also been such a pivotal part of my journey our world has so many flavors cultures and cuisines There's so much I feel like that's something like when you're Blasted out of your mind at 2 a.m. That you would pre-order for the next day like what's up with the giant croissant? During exploring this diversity So don't ever let one meal or one day to find your entire relationship with food because that's I mean croissants are Relatively healthy, you know, it's just butter and flour really so You know, I mean and I remember when I When we got raided by the USDA at Frankie's her is mean I was so stressed out for like two weeks The only thing I can stomach Was like those French pastries just like the butter and the bread lightly sweet That's literally all I ate for like two weeks. So it's it's not that bad for you The only thing you got to be careful of you know, there's no animal protein and it's pretty depleted in B vitamins but it's Like it's one of the least worst things depending on where you're getting the croissant from like a homemade croissant Which is flour and butter is good but a lot of these store-bought croissants you got to be careful because they'll use like vegetable seed oils and fortified Enriched flour, which is actually bad for you part of the journey. There is no single food group that is the enemy here It's recognizing that food is not just fuel but a way to connect with our bodies celebrate life No single food group is the enemy. I disagree. I think that purple sweet potato is about to destroy your liver But prove me wrong and find so much joy nourishment Having purple sweet potato, which I discovered like last week and it tastes a million times better. You should forget it You have to keep mind when a food is colorful when it's really dark colored that generally means there's Compounds in it giving it that color There's exceptions like if you bake bread and the bread's brown. It's because you caramelized it, you know But you know the reason meat is red is okay. There's iron in it. There's this there's that the reason salmon is orange Okay, there's carotene. There's this there's that you have to understand why the foods that color and Are those compounds going to be harmful to your body in the case of red meat or pork or venison or really dark colored meat You know the minerals in that and the nutrients of that and everything and that you know, that's okay for your body But in the case of the sweet potato What's what's really in there? Just just white rice with the salmon I've just been sitting here on the floor on like my little coffee table The some of these young influencers need to just work a real job before Before starting their YouTube channel to build it builds a little character, you know Just editing and working on podcasts a little bit Which one you see this video if this video number comes out because literally everything they phone I never post Yes, it should be out by now I think she needs some more salmon her brain might fire up more I will never understand like I literally need to eat half a meal before dinner otherwise I will starve but So I'm just gonna use some of the croissant that I have Concerning for my stomach Um, and I'm gonna just like put it with cheese and ham and then toast it like a little toasty.   It's not sanitary like look you guys have pets. That's great. You can look but it's just It's not sanitary Here's my little setup. Let me show you Yeah, so I'm just been like recording Editing and then editing also on my phone the video that I'm gonna post tonight on TikTok So, yeah, let's go make a little snack I have been filming what I eat in a day videos for a couple of months now and it's important to clarify What's up with this croissant, dude? It's like her boyfriend her new boyfriend the dog in the croissant is an illusion And it can lead us on a path of endless comparison and dissatisfaction with ourselves What I share in these videos is not a universal prescription But a reflection of just my own personal journey my preferences and my needs It's the perfect diet for myself. No, no, how can you like be so condescending and self righteous and then put this little warning in there Like you're preaching. Oh, I've explored everything. I know everything you need to be intuitive You need to listen to your body. There's no right diet. Everyone's unique and then You're like preaching all this information. Then you're like, oh, by the way Uh, this is here's a disclaimer. So like What is the legal thing that these people all have lawyers like It's it's like You're trying not to get blowback.  Oh, I'm losing.  What's going on? like In what world do you think it's a good idea to buy this giant croissant in this video? What like that's something you would do for like a crazy eating video or like a shock video Like you're trying to show people what you do to be healthy and normal and stuff and you're buying the biggest croissant That's ever like all right I can't a place where there's no strategy zero cents But to say where you're thriving because you are nourishing your body and your body will thank you Remember, it's always about pargus and not perfection I mean greek yogurt honey and fruit is Good enough. That's healthy This is literally what I've been doing while my croissant heats up Eating my boyfriend's leftover meatballs and yoki Then he had for lunch Like what she's showing us Versus her body composition like as I said earlier like eating disorder like there's no way she does this every day She's actually getting some good foods and decent calories Like ham and cheese croissant. I mean It's she put ham and cheese on the chocolate. It's a chocolate croissant. All right I haven't used croissant. I can get down with but I'm guessing that's chocolate on the outside. So I don't know but you know ham cheese Animal nutrition healthy protein. I mean depends on the quality croissant. We said is good. It's it's a pretty healthy meal you probably want some fiber or something to kind of break things up and and healthy in a sense of like Giving the body what it needs calorically and nutritionally vitamins and minerals maybe like some Pickles from frankie syringe foods would go well with that Let's taste this excuse me. I want to try the one with ham and cheese first I think if she just had like rice with her lunch, she probably wouldn't need the extra meal I mean, this is a decent amount of food, you know Compared to what these girls normally eat She looks kind of like that um That popular fitness girl. What's her name sarah safari or something. She looks pretty much like her snacking more I have now changed into my pajamas for I mean dark chocolate covered almonds I don't really speak a lot about nuts and seeds, but you know, we do have macadamia nuts on the foods website I just think if you're gonna have Any like nut fat source as a snack You know macadamia nuts being predominantly saturated fat. They're just the healthiest choice by far. It's it's not it's not even comparable for the night This pajamas from the white company. They make the cutest pajamas, honestly I love buy one like every year And yeah, they're super super soft super comfy and they always have like some cute designs. So anyways, I also put pimple cream on my face because I'm breaking out so bad. I don't know why like I don't know if it's because I've eaten something But I couldn't be Could it be the candida from the croissant? That's the size of your body Uh, I mean if she was wearing emf protective clothing and had more probiotics in the diet She wouldn't be breaking out Obviously, you know There there does need to be some dietary adjustments in general for this to be better Whether it's going organic or higher quality or maybe restricting certain products for certain periods of time Yeah, like if she had a glass of kefir for breakfast with that meal and then maybe With the croissant if she had, you know, some more probiotics or something There needs to be probiotics to help her digest the carbs and the starch I think I haven't changed anything about my diet. So I don't know. Maybe I'm just really stressed Who knows? Anyways, um, yeah, so tonight I'm gonna make a lasagna I haven't made a lasagna for so long I feel like I used to make it a lot when I was in Korea last year because it was just like such a quick and easy meal Um, but yeah, I haven't made it in a really long time. So I'm really excited to actually make it And the thing is I actually do it with let me show you all the ingredients Um Oh Uh that I actually use so I'll use um I'll touch a little bit on the The acne stuff before we get into this. This is weird, dude because like her first meal was good Perfect The second meal was kind of bad because like the sweet potato and the salad and the nonsense The third meal was good and now this meal looks bad So she's alternating between like what I consider good Stuff that like even the Amish would make for themselves Like old school calorically dense home cooking versus like vegan nonsense that people think is healthy But it's actually not there. She's like caught in between I guess But mild acne is a pretty good sign of moderate liver damage And what I mean by that is It's going to take you several years if you know exactly what you're doing to be healthy now for me you know Only at this point now i'm over 30 years old Have I been able to clear up my skin? You know for five six years as a kid teenager young adult I always had bad acne. I took acutane destroyed my liver Um on and off carnivore diet. I've always I always had cystic acne horrible bad acne Really up until the past few years that I've been actually healing my liver. So If you're getting mild acne That's that's a good sign That you know, you really need to figure out and dial things in because if not If you keep pushing through these diets for years and years and years and you still have acne still have acne You still have acne maybe it gets worse. Maybe not but You're already at the point where it's going to take you a long period of time to recover your health Because you know people most people can eat whatever they want and not get acne So there there's a pretty reasonable amount of liver damage. That's already done if you're breaking out at all This if it focuses hello So it's like made out of lentil a hundred percent. There's no weeds in it and honestly It changes the flavor so much and I genuinely prefer it so much more like Not that I don't eat those carrots boys are tasty. I mean as you guys know, I eat pasta every single night But yeah, I feel like this changes the lasagna so much and I honestly really love it But yeah, so this is the veggie that I put I honestly changes just depending on what I have so tonight I'm just gonna do like half an onion because this onion is really big actually Like a carrot then a pepper and I'm going to put some spinach in it This is the minced meat and then I just mix all of that together add the tomato sauce Done and then you just layer it with the With the what with the bashemal sauce and then you just put cheese on top. It's actually super easy Um, yes, I'm actually going to preheat the oven 180 Is the pimple cream that I've been using probably for like five months now And genuinely this is the best one I have I mean, you know Maybe the pimple and the acne stuff is something you should keep outside of the diet video Because you don't you know, if you're trying to sell a lifestyle, you don't want to say Oh, yeah, this is what I eat and do and it's so good for you But you'll get acne. Here's my pimple cream like it's kind of Not the smartest marketing Uh, not the smartest marketing play Uh It is real cheese But I think I think just regulars asani would be healthier dude. This this trick is a bit out there And genuinely this is the best one I have found I have tried so so many and This is so do I need to try your diet to get the acne first and then I buy the acne cream That I've been using Okay, but yeah, here's the bashemal sauce that I'm talking about. This is the one that I always use Um, I feel like look she's got nine different packaged things That she's making into a meal instead of doing homemade stuff. We're doing it herself So the editors the chemicals the things on the side. She's not going organic There's there's a lot of negatives to this meal. It's it's really Yeah, I could talk you could probably talk for an hour breaking down the negatives of every single component of this meal It was organic. The list would be shorter, but here in london. There's not that many So this is just the one that I found that tastes the best Um, one day I will make you myself I haven't brushed up on my cooking recently, but I think bashemal is basically just A roux with flour and butter and then you put milk in it And then if you add cheese it turns it into something else So it's a very basic french sauce that you should probably make On your own because something like that definitely has like preservatives or like, uh Thickening agents to keep maintain the texture It's tough but that day is not I know that it can seem so overwhelming and sometimes so impossible But I'm here to tell you that it is very much possible and finding balance can truly become a reality In all of our lives my what I eat in a day videos I always try to be as authentic as realistic as possible Not just learning perfectly nutritious meals, but also all the sweet treats I have authentic So and realistic is that why you buy Seven pound croissants every day Because I do love something sweet basically at all times of the day So the same way your body might sometimes need a nice big filling salad sometimes it needs a few big cookies and that's okay I mean if you're always craving sweet You know, it's a candida overgrowth because the candida is trying to detox your liver So that's what you're craving that what you have to do to fix that is You know get him probiotics keep the candida in check and detox the liver with soluble fiber It's not a short term thing I mean at least she's got plenty of animal fat and protein, but you definitely don't want to combine it with uh You know when you combine animal fat and protein with these high carotene vegetables, it's not that great for your liver um At least the regulars on you has wheat pasta, which is starch and fiber and at least kind of bounces the meal out Here's dinner for tonight It's a little taste test Oh my gosh, this actually looks so good Out of time You need to make this time to get some seconds Yummy time for dessert while we watch virgin river Actually today we only watched one episode so that is an improvement Um, but yeah probiotics also really help with histamine and her diet. I mean Her diet in general is pretty high in histamine. You know, she's having chocolate now. She had ham and cheese She's having some like supermarket dairy products. She's having a lot of prepackaged foods Probably Could really do with the probiotics. We all know that we're going to watch like 20 episodes tonight. So Yeah, I know I think that's what he was searching for before anyways Well, you talk I I can't eat like chocolate at all I'll keeps me awake with the caffeine.  Yeah, okay We are gonna have Well, I don't know about him, but we'll have dates with chocolate And a little tangerine That is all for today's video guys. I hope you enjoyed watching it Don't forget to take care of yourselves and I will see you all very soon. All right. I'll be nice I won't I won't talk about the boyfriend's appearance Uh I mean, I I think overall her diet's actually really good compared to what we see, you know She has she has a lot of animal protein in the diet She definitely needs to go organic and increase the quality on a few things and Uh, but but just from like, uh Uh, quick fix perspective, you know, just just having some rice and maybe a starch source with lunch instead of all that Stuff with the salmon would be much healthier like I'll omit the purple sweet potato omit the salad and the salsa the side This is whatever she had just have like salmon with rice and maybe beans or some type of vegetable Don't don't do the dark colored stuff. That's weird and unusual The croissant. I mean I can't complain about the croissant like but Like there's nothing wrong with the croissant. It's just I don't understand why she bought such a big one You know, if she's had like a ham and cheese croissant sandwich, it would have been kind of normal Uh And then yeah for dinner just instead of again the vegetable stuff Just having the regular grains would be a bit healthier So that that'd be the first step in the right direction And then uh, and then the the organic and food omission overall to actually fix her health and the probiotics and stuff That's a whole different story But hopefully you guys enjoy this maybe you can uh Get some pinterest girly and I don't know. I'm I'm losing the guys But if you go to frankdashthefinale.com you can support me through all my businesses Check out all my interesting products if you do want to follow Like a healthy diet that will actually fix Any problems you've been having definitely check my day of eating check my food pyramid video all that stuff frankdashthefinale.com I'll see you guys soon


Relations between Russia and the United Arab Emirates are at an unprecedented high, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nayan on December 6.Russia and the UAE cooperate in OPEC Plus and are involved in major oil and gas projects. Putin said, in televised comments that the situation in Ukraine and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would be among the topics of discussion, Putin is visiting the United Arab Emirates and Saudi. Arabia on a rare trip abroad. He will also hold talks with Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to discuss oil, OPEC Plus and the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine. President al-Nayan said at a meeting with the United Arab Emirates on December 6. He said at a meeting with the United Arab Emirates on December 6.


The message we would like policymakers to take home is that branding is important. The legal protection of branding, trademarks, are important. They are an indispensable part of a healthy and vibrant innovation ecosystem. They contribute to establishing order in the marketplace and to ensuring that consumers are not deceived. 4.2 million trademark applications are filed every year around the world. That's a huge use that we see then in the economy and in society of brands. We all know about brands. Now what we want to do with this report is to understand better how they function, what is their economic importance, what is their economic role. And what we find is that their economic role is one to support actually innovation. What are the main findings of our report? I would highlight three findings. First, the report presents new estimates of branding investments worldwide. We estimate that companies spent around 466 billion United States dollars in 2011. And for some countries we can compare branding investments to investments in other intangible assets. And we find that investments in branding exceed investments in research and development and design, for example. So they are really an important part of overall investments in intangible assets. Secondly, the report documents the rapid increase in trademark filings worldwide. Between 1985 and 2011, global trademark filings almost quadrupled. They have especially grown faster in middle-income countries. China in 2001 became the top recipient of trademark filings, a position that it only assumed in the area of patents in 2011. And a third major finding of our report is that branding investment in important ways complements companies' investments in innovation. We find that companies that heavily brand their products are also companies that invest significantly in research and development. Through branding, companies can generate demand for their products. They can increase consumers' willingness to pay. So we find that branding is an important element of a vibrant innovation ecosystem.


So you want to create a directory that runs completely in RAM. Well, first thing when you do is create that directory. So sudo makedir and the directory you want to create. And then we will just run sudo mount-o size and give it the size that you want to create this RAM disk as dash t for type. And it's going to be a temp file system, so tempfs, none. And then the name of that directory. And now if we df-h, you can see that we have a directory mounted that is 1 gig in size and 0% of it's being used right there. And anything you put in that directory will actually be written to RAM, not your hard drive. And upon reboot, will be gone and cannot be recovered from your hard drive because it was never written to your hard drive. That's how you mount a directory to RAM.


Hello everyone and welcome to Think Tech Hawaii's Human Humane Architecture. Normally this program is hosted by Martin Desbang. Martin is currently on sabbatical from his job at UH Manoa, back home in Germany. And he's studying all the different kinds of stuff. This week he happens to be, however, on a short ski vacation. I'll talk more about that in just a second. But in the meantime, behind me you see a poke restaurant. And you might look at this picture behind me and say, well that's just some poke restaurant probably in Honolulu someplace, right? No, this poke restaurant is in the German city of Munich. Martin took this picture in Munich. It looks pretty peculiar because not only is Hawaiian food popular in Munich, as you can see by this picture, but the signs are all in English as well. It's very confusing. Why are we showing you this? We're showing you that Hawaii is international. And we're also showing you that there is a connection between Germany and Hawaii, which I'm going to get to in just a second. And let's go to our first slide. Now this is not Martin in this particular slide, but it does show you what Martin is currently doing. Martin took this picture near where he is currently living, and this is a light rail system that he uses every day. And there's a man with skis standing there in the snow. Personally, I would much rather be here in Honolulu than skiing anywhere because I don't like snow and I don't like cold weather. But let's continue on from what Martin's doing to talk about what I'm going to talk about today. So next slide. We are going to be talking about an event that happened last year. This was a symposium that was held here in Honolulu from representatives from different companies from Germany who were involved in mostly innovative energy techniques as well as housing and other types of inventions, etc. And via the German Chamber of Commerce branch, which is in California, some of those representatives from German companies came here to Honolulu for a symposium to present what products that they are currently offering. And if I'm looking at the slide right now, I can see that I did a slide presentation for this particular group. In fact, I did it twice. And the subject was innovation and technological inventions here in the Hawaiian Islands. And there's more to that subject than you might think. And we can go back to the 19th century to see some innovative things. And let's go to the next slide. And this is a picture of King Kalakaua. King Kalakaua reigned from 1874 till his death in January of 1891. And Kalakaua was an extremely interesting man, very multifaceted in a number of ways. On one hand, he was very into the preservation of traditional Hawaiian beliefs and activities. So one of the things he did was to publicly have the hula performed at Yomani Palace for different events during his reign. And that was a big step because the hula formerly had been suppressed, particularly because of the influence of missionaries who thought that it was too openly suggestive or sexual. But at the same time that Kalakaua was preserving Hawaiian culture, he was also a very forward-thinking man who was very international. He was the first ruling monarch to travel all the way around the world. And he also loved technology and modern inventions. And Yomani Palace, which is also here in this picture next to me, it was built by Kalakaua as the royal palace in Honolulu, and it was completed in the early 1880s. And it had running water, and it had a telephone system, and it also had electricity a little bit later on. And it had electricity before the White House in Washington D.C. had electricity. That's how ahead of his time Kalakaua was. Next, let's look at some of the things that Kalakaua himself, being technologically advanced and interested, proposed as inventions. Now, he created and kept and still, we still have today, some scrapbooks during his lifetime, and he kept a variety of things like clippings about new inventions. But he also drew pictures of things he wanted to invent. So this is Kalakaua's fish ram. It's like a torpedo. It's a weapon. And again, this is from the 1870s or 1880s. He drew this picture. It's something that looks like a fish, and so somebody on a ship would look down and see what they thought was a fish. And it was actually something coming up to ram into or explode an enemy ship. Well, pretty innovative. Next picture, another one of Kalakaua's inventions. This is the torpedo-proof vessel. So this vessel, which has, as you can see the Hawaiian flag flying on the stern, is torpedo-proof, so it's armored, so you can't blow it up. But it also can shoot torpedoes through a port right in the very front. So if you look on the left side, that part that's sticking out of the prow, can shoot torpedoes. Obviously, these are somewhat fantasies, but it shows you that Kalakaua was, again, ahead of his time in thinking outside the box as to how the modern world could function. Next. Well, Hawaii was not confined to innovation just the 19th century, because in the 20th century, two major crops were, for many years, the foundations of our local economy. And the first was the sugar industry. The sugar industry had really taken off starting in the 1870s, and by the 1900s was the biggest employer. It was the reason many people are here in Hawaii today, because our ancestors came to work for the sugar plantations. There were people from many different countries that came here for that reason. And because the sugar industry was so well developed, and because it was basically American style, again, there was a lot of technological innovation. In this photograph, you see this entirely newly created machine, which is there to help harvest sugarcane. And that was something that was constantly being worked on and improved so that you didn't have to use as many people hand cutting stuff in the field. The more you mechanize, the more efficient you would be, and you cut your costs. Well, here's one of those inventions. Next. And the sugar industry also extended into not just innovation of machines, but they had a particular... They had the industry as a whole supported an organization called the Hawaii Sugar Planners Association, or HSPA. And the HSPA facility, which was located in Makiki here in Honolulu, not only did testing of different types of sugar varieties to make them more productive, but they also were innovative in finding natural methods of pest control. Now, they didn't invent it. That had been started in the 19th century. But in the 20th century, they were instrumental in bringing in specifically... introducing, for example, a particular insect that could prey on another insect that was damaging sugarcane. Well, one of their miscalculations, some of them were very successful. One of their miscalculations, unfortunately, which is kind of what you... Well, in any case, without getting too much into it, they introduced also the bufo toad, which was supposed to help keep insects under control for sugarcane. There's no more sugarcane anymore, but there still are bufo toads. They're poisonous. It wasn't a good thing. However, next slide. Pineapple industry was also very important here, too. It was the second after the sugar industry. And just as with sugar, in this same American style of innovation, a number of different types of machines were invented to, again, make things more productive, cut costs. The picture that you see here is from the 1950s, and it shows a potential machine to plant the tops of pineapples, because the tops of pineapples, once they're cut off, are stuck in the ground to grow new pineapple plants. And so this was a way to make that, rather than hand done by hand by individual men, you could do it by machine. Next. But the machine in the pineapple industry, it really made a huge difference was this one. It's called the Genaka machine. That's spelled G-I-N-A-C-A. Pineapples are kind of a funny shape, and they also have a very difficult, rough, scaly exterior. They also have a central core, which is inedible. So they required a lot of trimming before they could be put into cans. And the canning industry, which is really what made pineapple, the pineapple industry so successful here, which they started in the 1900s, required things to be a certain size to fit into cans. The Genaka machine was this incredibly clever thing. It cut off the exterior of the pineapple, it cut out the core of the pineapple, and it left you with these nice uniform round slices that could then go into cans. That's what made the sugar industry popular. Or possible, really, to the extent that it was. Next picture. And here is the dull pineapple cannery in Honolulu, which, in its time, was the largest fruit cannery in the world. They were very proud to be able to say that. And as you can see in this picture, there are scores of Genaka machines stretching off into the far horizon that shows you how big this operation was. And to think that the biggest fruit cannery in the world was here on the island of Oahu is quite an amazing thing. And this picture was probably taken in the 1930s. Next picture. Something else that wasn't invented here, but which was Hawaii was a very early adopter of, was aviation. And the reason is, of course, the Hawaiian islands consist of separate islands. And up until the 1940s, one of the ways that you could travel into Ireland, well, up until, let's say, 1927, the only way you could go into Ireland was by ship. And ship travel was uncomfortable because the channels between the Hawaiian islands can be very rough. So as soon as commercial aviation began to really become possible in the late 1920s, inter-island airways was formed, and that became Hawaiian Airlines in 1941. And during World War II, the inter-island ships went out of business or stopped functioning. And so since then, it's really the only way you can travel is by air, meaning that people here are far more accustomed to air travel than lots of other people in the world. Secondly, Hawaii was one of the very early places that international or long distance air travel, regularly scheduled air travel, occurred. And that's when Pan American Airways began flying here for the first time in 1936. And at the time that that got started, the distance between Hawaii and the West Coast was the longest anywhere in the world that any plane at that time could fly in one trip. So again, we're ahead of the game and ahead of lots of other parts of the world in our adoption of aviation. Next. Well, this is something that you wouldn't know about, but I'm about to tell you. The very first aluminum beer can anywhere in the world was used here in Hawaii for primo beer. And there had been canned beer before that, but they were in steel cans. Aluminum, this was an innovative process in which there was kind of a slug, a cylinder of aluminum, which got punched by a specific machine to make it into a canned shape and then it was capped. This didn't get used for very long, but the aluminum, the innovation of aluminum for beer is something that really got started here. And if you look in the upper part of this slide, you'll see that there's a picture of a guy who is a musician in Germany. And this is to let you know another connection between Hawaii and Germany is one of the very popular beer drinking songs in Germany is called, in Hawaii there is no beer. And obviously that's not true because I just showed you there's beer in abundance. Next. Okay, another innovative use of aluminum was this structure, which used to stand at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki. And when it was built in 1957, the hotel was actually owned by a man named Henry J. Kaiser. And Kaiser, also as part of his business empire, owned a major production company of aluminum, Kaiser aluminum. So this geodesic dome, which was designed by Buckminster Fuller, who's the famous guy who created the geodesic dome, was built within just a period of two days. And it got a tremendous amount of publicity because it was so easy to do. They just bolted these pre-made sort of five-sided pieces together, gradually raised the whole structure up, and then you had this nice dome. It looked incredibly futuristic. It was made of this wonderful lightweight material, got a tremendous amount of publicity, as I said, for doing this. It was used as an auditorium and a meeting room. And unfortunately, this very innovative structure has been gone, demolished, since 1999. And that's a plea for people to be aware of saving some of our architectural treasures. And this is one that we've lost. Next. Another innovative building was this one. It still is standing today, but it's not quite as innovative as it was. This is the Alamoana building, which is part of the Alamoana shopping center, and it opened in 1961. And you can see in the upper picture that's looking from Alamoana center at the building. Well, the building... the innovative part of this building, there were two very main innovative parts. The first was that it had these vertical sort of shutters or louvers on the entire exterior of the building. And they changed position vertically during the day, according to the position of the sun, so that they were shading the inside of the building. And that meant that you used less energy and less air conditioning. That's something that was very much ahead of its time in terms of energy saving. Back in the 1960s, nobody really cared about that. Energy was cheap. Hawaiian Electric encouraged you to use more electricity, in fact. Unfortunately, the system of louvers is not in place anymore. The concrete abutments upon which they were set gradually deteriorated to the point where they weren't safe anymore. They wouldn't move, they stopped moving, and so they were all removed, and they're no longer there. However, next picture. The other innovative part of the building was this. This is the La Ronde rotating restaurant. This is the first rotating restaurant anywhere in the world in 1961. And it took an hour to do a full rotation, and you could go up there and have drinks and have dinner and look out at the view of Honolulu, and it was absolutely marvelous. And the second, the man who designed it was also the man who designed the more famous Space Needle rotating restaurant in Seattle, which opened in 1962 for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. Well, La Ronde, the unit is still there, but it stopped rotating a long time ago because it broke and they couldn't fix it. And it no longer has any tenants in it, so it's just empty. Well, the thing that's changed a great deal also is if you look at the picture looking out from La Ronde and you can see Diamond Head in that photograph, today you cannot see Diamond Head. It's been completely obscured by high-rises. So going to La Ronde now would not be the experience it was in 1961, but then what is? Okay, next picture. Something that is traditional to Hawaiian culture, which is now worldwide, because we're talking about Hawaii as an influencer, is surfing. Surfing reached its highest level of development here in the Hawaiian Islands. By the time Westerners came here in the late 1700s, Hawaiians had refined surfing in terms of board design, in technology, numbers of different types of boards, different techniques. All of that stuff was at its very highest peak, invented by Hawaiian culture and ancient Hawaiians and still practiced today. But this has spread throughout the entire world and not only is it a sport throughout the entire world, but it's also an economic force because there are contests at which people earn money and there is surfing merchandise that people earn money from. So that's all thanks to the Hawaiian culture and the Hawaiian Islands. Next. Okay, back to this particular symposium. And here you can see pictures of the symposium taking place in Jefferson Hall on the East-West Center campus. And it was the clean energy. It was the second Germany-Hawaii Clean Energy Symposium Renewals in Energy Efficiency in Buildings. So not only was it talking about energy generating, but it was also talking about architecture and construction. Next picture. So let's look back at where our friend Martin Dispan came from. And in the picture on the top, looking at the top row of photographs, you can first see on the left an aerial view of the neighborhood where Martin grew up. Martin grew up in an old, obviously it's part of Europe, in a series of a city where there's not a regular rectangular grid, because it grew before that time. But it did have a density of inhabitation, meaning that there was a residential part of it, but also the commercial activity was integrated with it. So you could walk to where you wanted to go. You could walk to buy your food, et cetera. Martin lived on the top floor of a five-story walk-up, and they did get to use the roof of their building. As you can see in the next picture, Martin is in there with his sister during the brief German summer to enjoy how wonderful it was outdoors. He also was able to, in a time of less legal considerations, be able to go to a public park and build things, build with wood that was lying around, just saw it, nail it up with other kids. That's what got him started in architecture. It's not something you'd be likely to do today. Martin always had the dream that he would come to the United States. He did do so. He's now a citizen of both Germany and America. But he was always influenced by a lot of American aspects in Germany, and always fascinated by it. Let's go to our next picture. Well, Martin is an architect. His family also has an architectural firm, and so that's why he goes back to Germany to interact with his family, as well as see how the family business is doing. And also, as I said, he's now currently on his sabbatical. The pictures here are some of the buildings that Despange Architects has constructed. So there are commercial buildings, there are school buildings. And Martin is very aware of things like energy efficiency, the way he has to think in Germany versus the way you'd have to think here is very different, because here we need to deal with heat and humidity. In Germany, most of the time, they have to deal with cold. So in some cases, they want to open up as much as possible to take in solar energy. In other cases like here, we don't want to be doing that, we want to be controlling energy, how much energy is coming into some place or into a building. Next picture. And here is, again, Despange Architecture. This is some of the literature about some of the buildings that Martin's company or Martin's family's company has built. Next picture.  And some of the projects that his students have done are things that we regularly talk about here on ThinkTech. This particular structure here is something I particularly like. It's entirely open. To use Martin's phrase, it's easy breezy. It is a set of open rectangular concrete elements, units, you might say, that are stacked up. And not only does it allow free circulation, it allows you to use the spaces that are in that concrete wall. And while here it isn't specified exactly what you could do with that, this is something that is making use of the weather that Martin coming from Germany is very aware of and is very appreciative of because it's so different from where he came from. He's very into making use of that for comfortable use of architecture. Next picture. And this is something, again, another one of these potentially innovative discussions. This structure, again, now look at the structure that you can see on the table as a model. It's elevated up off the ground so that you've got air circulation underneath it. You've got air circulation all around it. You can build things that, again, can be passively cooled by moving air. We have trade winds here. We can make use of those things. This is the type of thing that Martin wants his students to be aware of and when they go out in the world to design, to be thinking in those terms as well. Next. Okay. One of the things that came up at this German, Hawaii German symposium was the reuse of shipping containers. And in fact, there was a company that just focused on that. So you can see there's a shipping container. Well, there are innumerable shipping containers in use all over the world. And when they go out of use, what do you do with them? Well, a lot of people have suggested that they be used for dwellings. They be used for developments for people to live in. And these developments can be anything from upscale if you chose to, to being things that could house homeless people. So in some of the work that Martin's students did, there was discussion as to how to stack up these shipping containers, particularly for homeless people to create not only individual living spaces, but enclosed outdoor spaces that could also be used as well. And one of the companies, as I said from Germany, is actually working on that as well. Next picture. Pardon me. Well, here is a caricature of the island of Oahu, but it shows us in our location in the middle of the Pacific. And it shows something very important, which is that the city of Hortelulu is bounded by two geographical, topographical physical constraints. On one hand, we have the Koalao mountain range, and on the other hand, we have the ocean. And that means that everything that we design has to fit into that. Hortelulu is a very densely populated urban area, and so we have to be aware of that and work within those constraints. Next. Well, one of the ways that this has been brought up in Martin's classes is by trying to look at how nature does this. And you see these pictures of natural environments. You see the thicket of the how tree at the top, and you see the bamboo forest at the bottom. And you see how nature deals with these constraints and how plants form themselves into these colonies. Martin says, let's try to work with architecture in the same way. Next picture. And here's one of the ways you can do that. This is an innovative idea as to a development in downtown Honolulu in which these tall, skinny structures are put together quite closely, not wide apart. So it's kind of like those thickets or forests that you just saw pictures of. And also, they have open space. These are high rises which are open to the elements and have plants growing in them as well so that you're making use of the natural environment that we have here. Next picture. Well, two of the big projects that Martin's classes have done are called Primitiva. And this is Primitiva number one. It's a cylindrical building, and it has a central core that's steel girders. And then a lot of the exterior is open. And not only does that allow the air to move through, but it also is designed to be a community composed of people of all different ages. So you don't just have the old people in one place. You've got everybody together, and you try to put it together so that a lot of their needs are provided in there as well. So you can buy food in there. There can be a market in there. Just the way Martin grew up in a neighborhood where things were like that. Next picture. And Primitiva 2 is not a cylindrical building. It's a rectangular building. But again, it's open. It has exterior staircases that are not enclosed. It has curtain walls or exterior walls, which aren't really walls, but they're sheets of moving water. And again, you've got plants growing in there. You've got different types of people living in there. You're open to the outside elements. And in theory, you don't need to be using a lot of energy because you're not enclosing yourself in a glass box that gets hot and has to be air conditioned. Next picture. Well, also, this comes back to what we were talking about earlier about the shipping containers. And again, here is a way to stack shipping containers into an integrated development where you're making use of something that already exists, but you're turning it into something more innovative and more useful that, again, we're not throwing these things away and we're making use of them to build places for people to live, which we need. Next picture. Well, one of the things that Martin did was to have an interview. During this symposium, there was an interview that was done with Martin, that's Martin on the left, with some of the German representatives who were present. And that's available to be viewed on OC-16 as I remember, possibly here. It's also here on ThinkTech too. So if you want more information on the symposium, you can watch that. Next picture. And again, to just sum things up, here are some of the pictures of the innovations that have occurred here in the Hawaiian Islands over the past 100 or more than 100 years. So keep in mind, this is not just a backwater in the middle of nowhere. We actually are an innovative place. And next picture. And finally, folks, we've done lots of ThinkTech shows. ThinkTech is a hotbed of discussions of innovation and lots of other things that are useful, interesting and informative. So you can look back at other ThinkTech shows, like you see here on this slide here, or look at other ThinkTech shows. I mean, not just ThinkTech shows, but human-humane architecture shows, in addition to other ThinkTech shows. And that brings us to the end of this program. Thank you for watching, everybody. And oh, wait a minute, there's our poke bowl to get us back to Germany, and again to show the integration between Germany and Hawaii, which is one of the things that we talk about here. Anyway, thank you for joining us, and we will see you another time on ThinkTech Hawaii. We'll be back next week with a show for the Doko Momo group, which I'll be talking about mid-century architectural things. But until I see you next time, everybody, aloha.
