The Future of Cloud Networking is VMware NSXScott Lowe
This presentation was first given at Varrow Madness 2014 and discusses the need for a solution specifically designed (like VMware NSX) for cloud networking
This presentation is an update to a presentation from October 2012 titled "Three Technologies Worth Watching or Learning," and was first presented in Sydney, Australia, in February 2014.
VMware NSX provides the right abstraction—the virtual network—to enable operational change that addresses networking pain points and meets business needs. A virtual network must do more than provide connectivity - it must deliver virtual network services like routing, firewalling, and load balancing. It also decouples the network from physical hardware, allowing workloads to be placed and moved anywhere. This enables programmatic provisioning, placement of workloads anywhere, and mobility of workloads, addressing common challenges in software-defined data centers.
The document discusses getting involved in your local VMUG (VMware User Group) chapter and addresses common concerns people have. It summarizes that VMUG wants more user participation through activities like speaking at meetings. It counters typical excuses people make for not participating, such as not being an expert, not having anything interesting to share, or not being a good public speaker. It encourages people to get involved by discovering what they have to share from their unique environment and to leverage mentors who can help with speaking opportunities. In the end, it challenges readers to consider speaking at a future VMUG meeting.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
