OSAC16: Unikernel-powered Transient Microservices: Changing the Face of Softw...Russell Pavlicek
In most current microservice-based architectures, the machine images powering the microservice are quite traditional: a full software stack from operating system to application, which takes significant resources to host and plenty of time to start and stop. As a result, most current microservice workloads are persistent, having to start before they are needed and sitting idle when there’s no work to do. This wastes precious resources and slows the application’s ability to scale out as workloads require.
The arrival of lightweight technologies like Docker and containers have opened the door to lighter workloads in the microservice arena, but the advent of unikernels might be a game changer. These ultralight, highly secure workloads combine the entire software stack—from operating system functions to application—into a single, tiny package that runs directly on a hypervisor. Start times for many unikernel-based VMs can be measured in milliseconds, raising the question: why waste time and resources with persistent microservices? Why not consider transient microservices, which appear when there is something to do and disappear immediately thereafter?
While the use of transient microservices could free up much computing power, it will also change the architecture and orchestration of software solutions. The concept of services that may have a lifetime measured in seconds—or less—does not currently exist in popular cloud-based systems.
Using AWS, Terraform, and Ansible to Automate Splunk at ScaleData Works MD
The DreamPort Splunk Project; How We Use AWS, Terraform, and Ansible to Automate Everything About a Splunk Cluster
At DreamPort, we use cloud platforms, infrastructure-as-code tooling, configuration tools, automation software, and container technologies to very quickly design, develop, and prototype projects. This particular talk focuses on the tools used to deploy and configure a Splunk cluster for a particular project we recently ran. We will cover the deployment, configuration, and orchestration of a large 16 node Splunk cluster using tools that are a core set to DreamPort's cloud infrastructure toolbox; AWS, Terraform, Ansible, and Docker.
It is recommended that attendees have a general understanding of AWS, Linux, Splunk, and Docker, and know about automation tools such as Terraform and Ansible.
Attendees will learn how to use AWS, Terraform, Ansible, and Docker to deploy a large Splunk cluster, how to use Ansible to orchestrate and manage the Splunk cluster, and how to use Ansible to orchestrate and manage the Splunk cluster.

CIF16: Unikernels: The Past, the Present, the Future ( Russell Pavlicek, Xen ...The Linux Foundation
This talk will give an overview of Unikernel technology: what they are, why they are important, and what challenges and innovations are likely to appear in the future. We will discuss the nature of the Unikernel, what capabilities it brings to the table, and how it changes the nature of the cloud as we know it.
Elixir and Crystal are both descendants of the Ruby programming language, applying Ruby syntax and ideas to extremely different functional and OOP foundations. This talk compares all three languages and suggests appropriate cases for applying them.
Plasma has started to show its power as a development framework with the Plasma Netbook workspace shell. Not only a desktop shell effort, Plasma Netbook was the start to bring KDE to the next level, making it a real competitor to other solutions for netbook devices.
At least due to the success of the Plasma Netbook idea to create software suited for a mobile device, we started thinking about what a KDE phone look like. Instead of "putting your desktop" inside a different device, we are now thinking about how it would be possible for us to have a KDE-based mobile phone in the future.
Dividing and konquering, Plasma Mobile aims at creating a new experience for mobile phones, showing how KDE technology can enrich the user experience and bring more integration between the machines that are around the user, while simultaneously removing the focus from them and giving it to the user and his tasks.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
