All, One of our community members will be submitting this proposal. Also, they are interested in potentially incubating their product at the ASF.
I think this makes a lot of sense to add to the list of presentations for TomcatCon. Thanks, -chris -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: ApacheCon Jwala talk Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2017 23:45:46 +0000 From: Ger,Steven <steven....@cerner.com> To: Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> About to submit this but wanted to run it by you first. What do you think? /(We renamed TOC, Tomcat Operations Center, to Jwala in honor of our internal release name … and thought it was catchy. It’s Hindi for blaze.)/ *Steven Ger Bio* A proud graduate of Penn State University, Steven Ger has close to two decades of experience developing and orchestrating software for a variety of organizations in the Telecom and Healthcare sectors. His software contributions have scaled to benefit companies of all sizes, from small startups to global enterprises, and everything in between. In addition to extensive knowledge of the Java/JEE stack and all things related, Steven is known for his entrepreneurial vision and drive to rapidly deliver software that addresses market opportunities in a creative, reliable, secure, and flexible manner. Steven is a Software Architect with Cerner Corporation focusing on enterprise lightweight open-source solutions. He was instrumental in developing Jwala, a Cerner open-source platform based on configuration and management of large Apache Tomcat and Apache HTTPD topologies. *Jwala* Apache Tomcat (Tomcat) and Apache HTTPD are hardened, scalable, and reliable open-source solutions. Widely adopted, these solutions are commonly used to host and load-balance Java applications. Configuring and managing a small set of these is relatively easy, but once you start scaling out your application and platform, things get complicated. Questions such as “How do I update the heap or database pool-size across hundreds of Tomcat JVMs?” arise. Although commercial solutions exist to solve this and similar problems, an open-source solution was not available, until Jwala was created. Jwala is an application that enables the configuration, deployment, and management of logical groups of Tomcat JVMs fronted by Apache web servers. It was designed and developed to accommodate Cerner’s complex topologies. Cerner has donated Jwala to the open-source community to help others with the same needs. In this session, you will learn how to use Jwala to manage your large Apache Tomcat/Apache HTTPD topology. We’ll dive deep into best practices and proven techniques to use Jwala to configure, deploy, and manage your topology at an enterprise scale. *Target Audience* The target audience for this session is anyone with Tomcat and Apache HTTPD experience looking for an easier way to configure and manage a large topology. Anyone in development, operations, or management will benefit from using Jwala. *Steven Ger *|** Knowledge Architect | steven....@cerner.com <mailto:steven....@cerner.com> | 404-353-4977 | www.cerner.com <http://www.cerner.com/> CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This message and any included attachments are from Cerner Corporation and are intended only for the addressee.
