Making Self-Service BI a Reality in the EnterpriseCloudera, Inc.
For most analysts, the pace of analytics and data science can be frustrating. The common waterfall approach works well for the fixed reports, but it can be a lengthy process to request additional data sets, create new reports, or serve new use cases. So it’s no surprise that organizations are looking to shift towards a self-service model, empowering business users to discover and iterate quickly.
However, it’s not just about opening up this access, but also ensuring the results are accurate and trusted. When there are petabytes of data, how does a user know which tables to use and which are most relevant? How do you strike the balance between discovery and agility, while still meeting enterprise governance standards to truly get more value from your data?
During this webinar, you’ll learn how to empower end-users to make self-service BI a reality within your organization while fostering governance collaboration between all data stakeholders. We’ll discuss and demo:
Strategies of consolidating data across silos for fast, flexible access
Enabling easy discovery and exploration, including understanding which data to trust and where to start
New capabilities for intelligent query assistance as well as immediate performance optimizations and recommendations as-you-go
Collaboration and access outside of just SQL for data science and beyond
In addition, we will walk through best practices and considerations when developing your organizational strategy around self-service analytics, and highlight several real-world success stories from a wide range of industries.

Big Data per le Startup: come creare applicazioni Big Data in modalità Server...Amazon Web Services
La varietà e la quantità di dati che si crea ogni giorno accelera sempre più velocemente e rappresenta una opportunità irripetibile per innovare e creare nuove startup.
Tuttavia gestire grandi quantità di dati può apparire complesso: creare cluster Big Data su larga scala sembra essere un investimento accessibile solo ad aziende consolidate. Ma l’elasticità del Cloud e, in particolare, i servizi Serverless ci permettono di rompere questi limiti.
Vediamo quindi come è possibile sviluppare applicazioni Big Data rapidamente, senza preoccuparci dell’infrastruttura, ma dedicando tutte le risorse allo sviluppo delle nostre le nostre idee per creare prodotti innovativi.
Ora puoi utilizzare Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) per eseguire pod Kubernetes su AWS Fargate, il motore di elaborazione serverless creato per container su AWS. Questo rende più semplice che mai costruire ed eseguire le tue applicazioni Kubernetes nel cloud AWS.In questa sessione presenteremo le caratteristiche principali del servizio e come distribuire la tua applicazione in pochi passaggi
Vent'anni fa Amazon ha attraversato una trasformazione radicale con l'obiettivo di aumentare il ritmo dell'innovazione. In questo periodo abbiamo imparato come cambiare il nostro approccio allo sviluppo delle applicazioni ci ha permesso di aumentare notevolmente l'agilità, la velocità di rilascio e, in definitiva, ci ha consentito di creare applicazioni più affidabili e scalabili. In questa sessione illustreremo come definiamo le applicazioni moderne e come la creazione di app moderne influisce non solo sull'architettura dell'applicazione, ma sulla struttura organizzativa, sulle pipeline di rilascio dello sviluppo e persino sul modello operativo. Descriveremo anche approcci comuni alla modernizzazione, compreso l'approccio utilizzato dalla stessa Amazon.com.
Come spendere fino al 90% in meno con i container e le istanze spot Amazon Web Services

Amazon Web Services e VMware organizzano un evento virtuale gratuito il prossimo mercoledì 14 Ottobre dalle 12:00 alle 13:00 dedicato a VMware Cloud ™ on AWS, il servizio on demand che consente di eseguire applicazioni in ambienti cloud basati su VMware vSphere® e di accedere ad una vasta gamma di servizi AWS, sfruttando a pieno le potenzialità del cloud AWS e tutelando gli investimenti VMware esistenti.
Molte organizzazioni sfruttano i vantaggi del cloud migrando i propri carichi di lavoro Oracle e assicurandosi notevoli vantaggi in termini di agilità ed efficienza dei costi.
La migrazione di questi carichi di lavoro, può creare complessità durante la modernizzazione e il refactoring delle applicazioni e a questo si possono aggiungere rischi di prestazione che possono essere introdotti quando si spostano le applicazioni dai data center locali.
Crea la tua prima serverless ledger-based app con QLDB e NodeJSAmazon Web Services
Molte aziende oggi, costruiscono applicazioni con funzionalità di tipo ledger ad esempio per verificare lo storico di accrediti o addebiti nelle transazioni bancarie o ancora per tenere traccia del flusso supply chain dei propri prodotti.
Alla base di queste soluzioni ci sono i database ledger che permettono di avere un log delle transazioni trasparente, immutabile e crittograficamente verificabile, ma sono strumenti complessi e onerosi da gestire.
Amazon QLDB elimina la necessità di costruire sistemi personalizzati e complessi fornendo un database ledger serverless completamente gestito.
In questa sessione scopriremo come realizzare un'applicazione serverless completa che utilizzi le funzionalità di QLDB.
Con l’ascesa delle architetture di microservizi e delle ricche applicazioni mobili e Web, le API sono più importanti che mai per offrire agli utenti finali una user experience eccezionale. In questa sessione impareremo come affrontare le moderne sfide di progettazione delle API con GraphQL, un linguaggio di query API open source utilizzato da Facebook, Amazon e altro e come utilizzare AWS AppSync, un servizio GraphQL serverless gestito su AWS. Approfondiremo diversi scenari, comprendendo come AppSync può aiutare a risolvere questi casi d’uso creando API moderne con funzionalità di aggiornamento dati in tempo reale e offline.
Inoltre, impareremo come Sky Italia utilizza AWS AppSync per fornire aggiornamenti sportivi in tempo reale agli utenti del proprio portale web.
Database Oracle e VMware Cloud™ on AWS: i miti da sfatareAmazon Web Services
Molte organizzazioni sfruttano i vantaggi del cloud migrando i propri carichi di lavoro Oracle e assicurandosi notevoli vantaggi in termini di agilità ed efficienza dei costi.
La migrazione di questi carichi di lavoro, può creare complessità durante la modernizzazione e il refactoring delle applicazioni e a questo si possono aggiungere rischi di prestazione che possono essere introdotti quando si spostano le applicazioni dai data center locali.
In queste slide, gli esperti AWS e VMware presentano semplici e pratici accorgimenti per facilitare e semplificare la migrazione dei carichi di lavoro Oracle accelerando la trasformazione verso il cloud, approfondiranno l’architettura e dimostreranno come sfruttare a pieno le potenzialità di VMware Cloud ™ on AWS.
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) è un servizio di gestione dei container altamente scalabile, che semplifica la gestione dei contenitori Docker attraverso un layer di orchestrazione per il controllo del deployment e del relativo lifecycle. In questa sessione presenteremo le principali caratteristiche del servizio, le architetture di riferimento per i differenti carichi di lavoro e i semplici passi necessari per poter velocemente migrare uno o più dei tuo container.
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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

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).

27. Drivers for DevSecOps
Embedding Security into DevOps was not successful
because…
• Compliance checklists didn’t take us far before we
stopped scaling…
• We couldn’t keep up with deployments without
automation…
• Standard Security Operations did not work…
• And we needed far more data than we expected to help
the business make decisions…
28. DevSecOps: Security as Code
Establishing these principles…
• Customer focused mindset
• Scale, scale, scale
• Objective criteria
• Proactive hunting
• Continuous detection and response

Architecting for High Availability & Business Continuity
• Designing for High Availability (HA)
• Designing based on application RTO and RPO
78. Designing Continuity Options
78
High Availability (HA)
• Ensuring the applications downtime
is minimized as much as possible
without the need for Human
intervention
• Elimination of single points of failure
• Reliable crossover
• Detection of failures as they occur
• Minimal interruption
Disaster Recovery
Backup and Restore
• Backup environment and restore from
backup
• Longest recovery time
Pilot Light
• Minimal version of an environment
created and paused
• Faster recovery time than backup and
restore
Warm Standby
• Scaled -down version of a fully
functional environment always
running
• Further decreases the recovery time
because some services are always
running
79. Example 1 –High Availability, Multi-AZ deployment
79
Background:
The application, Trackwise, is an enterprise quality management software (EQMS) solution
that optimizes quality, ensures compliance, reduces risk, and lowers costs for world-class
clients across a range of industries. This organization wanted to host this GXP application in
the AWS cloud and contains the following:
• Application and web servers hosted on AWS EC2
• Oracle server hosted using AWS RDS
• EBS Volumes for persistent storage
Objective:
Create a HA environment using multi-AZ in a validated environment for Production and QA
and create IQ/OQ templates and SOP’s.
80. Example 1 – AWS Products and Services Used
80
Elastic Load Balancing (ELB)
• Distribute incoming traffic across EC2 instances in a single Availability Zone or
multiple Availability Zones.
Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)
• Persistent block level storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2 instances in the
AWS Cloud.
Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
• Cost-efficient, resizable capacity for an industry-standard relational database and
manages common database administration tasks.
Amazon Simple Storage Service S3
• Secure, durable, highly-scalable Object cloud storage
Auto Scaling
• Maintain application availability and allows you to scale your Amazon EC2 capacity
up or down automatically according to conditions you define.

82. Example 1 – Key Takeaways for HA
82
Redundancy at every layer
• Multi Availability Zones
• Elastic load balancers
• Auto scaling
• EBS Volumes for persistent storage
• Muti-AZ RDS for database
83. Example 2 – Choosing the right design HA or DR model
83
Background: Considering the GXP requirements the Trackwise application needed to be in multiple
VPC’s, validated and non-validated. Each VPC had different RTO and RPO requirements. The
Training, Dev and sandbox did not require validated VPC’s and had an RTO and RPO of 4hrs.
Objective:
Create DR site that meets the Maximum 4hr RTO and RPO
84. Example 2 – Products and Services Used
84
AMI
• A template for the root volume for the instance (for example, an operating system, an application server, and
applications)
• A block device mapping that specifies the volumes to attach to the instance when it's launched
Snap Shots
• After writing data to an EBS volume, you can periodically create a snapshot of the volume to use as a baseline
for new volumes or for data backup.
Amazon S3
• Secure, durable, highly-scalable Object cloud storage
Elastic Load Balancing
• Elastic Load Balancing automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple Amazon EC2
instances in the cloud
• Using Route 53 DNS failover, you can run applications in multiple AWS regions and designate alternate load
balancers for failover across regions.

86. Key Takeaways for Continuity
86
Designing for appropriate RTO and RPO
• Amazon Route 53
• Elastic Load Balancing
• AMI”S
• EBS Volumes for persistent storage
• Snapshots
• Replication of database
87. Tools to Achieve Continuity
87
Amazon Route 53
• Route 53 effectively connects user requests to infrastructure running in AWS – such as Amazon EC2 instances,
Elastic Load Balancing load balancers, or Amazon S3 buckets – and can also be used to route users to
infrastructure outside of AWS
AWS CloudFormation
• Enables you to use a template file to create and delete a collection of resources together as a single unit (a
stack).
Amazon RDS
• Amazon RDS creates a storage volume snapshot of your DB instance, backing up the entire DB instance
Elastic Load Balancing
• Elastic Load Balancing automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple Amazon EC2
instances in the cloud
• Using Route 53 DNS failover, you can run applications in multiple AWS regions and designate alternate load
balancers for failover across regions.
88. Tools to Achieve Continuity
88
Amazon RDS
• When you provision a Multi-AZ DB Instance, Amazon RDS synchronously replicates the data to a standby
instance in a different Availability Zone (AZ).
• Amazon RDS uses the MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL (version 9.3.5 and later) DB engines' built-in
replication functionality to create a special type of DB instance called a Read Replica
Elastic IP’s
Static IP addresses designed for dynamic cloud computing.
Auto Scaling
• Scale your Amazon EC2 capacity up or down automatically according to conditions you define
Amazon CloudWatch
Collect and monitor log files, set alarms, and automatically react to changes in your AWS resources
Directory Service
• Provides multiple ways to use Microsoft Active Directory with other AWS services.
89. Considerations when creating architecture
89
• Leveraging AWS tools together you can achieve additional functionality and a low cost
automated DR solutions to meet any RTO and RPO requirements.
• Achieve cost savings by designing a solution based on specific application requirements.
• Design to prevent any single point of failure.
• Leverage all AWS service to optimize your business continuity

94. What is IoT?
The internet of things (IoT) is the network of physical objects—devices,
vehicles, buildings and other items—embedded with electronics, software,
sensors, and network connectivity that enables these objects to collect and
exchange data.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_things
Why AWS IoT?
AWS IoT can support billions of devices and trillions of messages, and can
process and route those messages to AWS endpoints and to other devices
reliably and securely. With AWS IoT, your applications can keep track of and
communicate with all your devices, all the time, even when they aren’t
connected.
