Fredrik Heintz at IDA invites you to the following Tech Talk:
Big Brains, Big Data, and Design to Test Cloud Services at Scale Chris Mitchell, Microsoft
Time: Tuesday, 23rd September, 17:00 – 18:00 Location: C2, Hus C, Campus Valla, Linköping University
Abstract Unit and functional tests alone aren’t enough to test large cloud services at scale. Cloud services not only need monitoring, but they also need continual testing. We will explore the use of big data and deep technical understanding to verify a cloud service is working on each and every request. This big puzzle is filled with lots of ambiguity, very messy and heterogeneous data, and a dynamic and changing datacenter and codebase. Obstacles include how to gather all the data we need to make product decisions, respect privacy, and not drown in useless data.
About the Speaker Chris Mitchell is a Principle Development Engineer for Microsoft Developer Center Norway focusing on search technologies. Prior to moving to Oslo, Norway, Chris worked at Microsoft in Redmond, WA, USA on Microsoft Exchange Server focusing on performance, scalability, and optimization of both enterprise and cloud services with special emphasis on disk I/O and storage, server to server networking, and optimization of managed code (C#).
