Self Service Cloud Operations: Safely Delegate the Management of your Cloud ...Rundeck
Running Operations is not an easy job, especially these days. Ops teams have to ensure excellent user experiences, resolve incidents quickly and help developers stay productive. Yet at the same time, there is also the need to maintain systems security and keep downtime to a minimum.
While advances in cloud computing have helped address some of these challenges, many organizations find it difficult to leverage the cloud at scale because of bottlenecks that form around repetitive tasks, such as developers having to wait for provisioning infrastructure. Despite having access to abundant cloud resources, these speedbumps often make it difficult to achieve team objectives.
Join this talk to learn:
How to safely delegate the management of your cloud deployment (to developers and other end users) with self-service operations.
How to create powerful runbooks with guardrails that leverage existing scripting languages, infrastructure, and tools to remove bottlenecks that form around repetitive tasks.
Strategies for getting started with self-service.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Why Should You Read This?
BlueCloud is a cloud based technology for call centres, sales teams and anyone else
who makes large volumes of calls. It provides you with the capabilities of large,
enterprise grade systems at just a fraction of the cost.
There are a few problems attached to the technology
often used by call centres:
• The up front investments are huge
• The systems are complex, and require
specialists to be on site (or standby)
• They are not integrated with each other, making
reporting and information flow difficult
• The systems lack flexibility and may not be
easy to scale for a growing business
• The business metrics are hard to extract, and it
is hard to make adjustments during the
campaigns.
BlueCloud is your solution to all these issues, making use of the latest technology
developments and utilising the full power of cloud computing. This makes it
possible for us to deliver a very cost effective solution to you, while providing you
with the features you need to run effective campaigns.
Why BlueCloud?
Simplicity has been at the core of developing BlueCloud, and anyone capable of
populating their Facebook profile will be able to configure BlueCloud comfortably.
You can set up new campaigns in just a few
minutes and forget about all your technical
headaches.
With BlueCloud, no special hardware is
required. All you need is a computer and a
headset. Contact centre staff can work from
anywhere as long as they are connected to
the Internet, or you can easily manage
multiple sites from one single dashboard.
Contact Centres are typically spending around 15% of their annual expense budgets
on technology, but BlueCloud is here to change that. BlueCloud is charged per agent
and per month used, and there are no fixed term contracts.
“Simplicity is
the ultimate
sophistication ”
- Leonardo Da Vinci
The old way is no longer the
best way…
