Machine Learning and especially Deep Learning are hot topics and you are sure to have come across the buzzword « Artificial Intelligence » in the media. Yet these are not new concepts. The first Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was introduced in the 40s. So why all the recent interest around neural networks and Deep Learning? We will explore this and other concepts in a series of blog posts on GPUs and Machine Learning. YABAIR – Yet Another Blog About Image Recognition In the 80s, I remember my father building character recognition for bank checks. He used primitives and derivatives around pixel darkness level. Examining so (...)

From git commit to production, the delivery process is the set of steps that take place to deliver your service to your customers. Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery – CI/CD - are practices based on the Agile Values which aim to automate this process as much as possible. The Continuous Delivery Team @OVH has a mission: to help the OVH developers to industrialize and automate their delivery process. The CD team is here to advocate CI/CD best practices and maintain the ecosystem tools, with a maximum focus on as-a-service solutions. The central point of this ecosystem is a tool built (...)
This week, the OVH Integration and Continuous Deployment team was invited to the DataBuzzWord podcast. Together, we explored the topic of continuous deployment in the context of machine learning and big data. We also discussed continuous deployment for environments like Kubernetes, Docker, OpenStack and VMware VSphere. If you missed it, or would like to review everything that was discussed, you can listen to it again here. We hope to return soon, to continue sharing our passion for testing, integration and continuous deployment. Although the podcast was recorded in French, starting from tomorrow, we’ll be delving further into the key points of our discussion in a (...)
At the Metrics team we have been working on time series for several years. From our experience the data analytics capabilities of a Time Series Database (TSDB) platform is a key factor to create value from your metrics. And these analytics capabilities are mostly defined by the query languages they support. TSL stands for Time Series Language. In a few words, TSL is an abstracted way, under the form of an HTTP proxy, to generate queries for different TSDB backends. Currently it supports Warp 10's WarpScript and Prometheus' PromQL query languages but we aim to extend the support to other major TSDB. (...)
In our precedent post, we described the Kubinception architecture, how we run Kubernetes over Kubernetes for the stateless components of the customer clusters' control planes. But what about the stateful component, the etcd?
Handling release management on enterprise software isn't an easy job: updating infrastructures, coping with the fear of not being supported by the software editor, upgrading licenses to be compatible with new versions, and taking all precautions to rollback if something isn’t working as expected... With OVH Private Cloud, we take away from you this responsibility, we are managing this time-costing and stressful aspect to allow you to concentrate in your business and your production. But, this doesn’t mean it’s not a challenge for us neither.
