Do you know that enterprises with more than half their business from cloud generate 1.6X more recurring revenue than other partners?
Enterprises are capitalizing on the growing cloud services market by building successful practices on Microsoft Azure, and are outperforming their peers by growing more quickly and profitably. Building a website is one such business initiative. In recent times, building a website has become easier with the new CMS available, but configuring it to be up and running was always a time consuming job. Microsoft Azure enables you to build, deploy and scale your website, while configuring the database and domain, providing the connection string, and setting up FTP account to upload your website.
Following topics are covered in this webinar
• Introduction to Cloud and Microsoft Azure Capabilities
• Overview & Pre-Requisites for Microsoft Azure Websites
• Free vs. Shared vs. Standard Websites
• Managing your Azure Websites: Preview portal & Command Line
• Deploy and scale modern websites with Azure

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.

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. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
"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.
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.

• Full configurable as a standalone directory with Users and Groups
• Password aging and complexity configuration possible
• Smart Card and two-factor configuration possible
12. Advantages of vCenter SSO
• AD is no longer required to install vCenter
• The main requirement for SSO is functioning forward and reverse DNS
• VMware vCenter now a potential superset of many AD Domains
• Can add multiple Active Directory Domains and LDAP directories
• External directories are used as Identity Sources
• External directories remain completely independent
• Domain Admins no longer receive vCenter Administrator permission
by default
• Only one SSO administrator is created during installation
• You add other users and Identity sources at your discretion.
14. Method 1: Using the Machine Account
• Possible with both Windows vCenter and VCSA Appliance (Linux)
• Host Operating System must be joined to the domain
• Creates a dependency between the Host Operating System where
vCenter runs and the AD Domain
15. Method 1: Using the Machine Account
• Join the Domain
1. In the Navigator bar on the left side of the screen, click on Administration.
16. Using the Machine Account with SSO
2. Now click on System Configuration
24. Method 2: Using Active Directory LDAP
• Possible with both Windows vCenter and VCSA Appliance (Linux)
• Host Operating System does not need to be joined to the domain
• Does not create a dependency between the Host Operating System
where vCenter runs and the Domain
• All LDAP Identity sources remain completely independent
• Many fewer steps overall
25. Method 2: Using Active Directory LDAP
1. In the Web-Client, click on Home and then on Administration
26. Using Active Directory as an LDAP Server
2. Now click on Configuration and then on Identity Sources
a. Click the +
32. SSO Global Permissions
2. It’s now possible to add Users/Groups/OUs from the Domain(s)
configured
a. Choose the AD Domain/LDAP Directory
b. Locate the User/Group
c. Click Add
d. Click OK
33. SSO Global Permissions
3. And assign any/all desired Roles
a. Select the Role (Administrator)
b. Click Add
c. Click OK
34. vCenter SSO
• No matter if it is a Windows vCenter, VCSA, Domain-joined or LDAP
• You can now log in with directory credentials
• BEST PRACTICE: Do not “Use Windows Session authentication”
• BEST PRACTICE: Enter username in UPN format: user@domain.tld
35. Upcoming vSphere Classes Webinars

Editor's Notes
Welcome to Netcom Learning’s VMware vSphere Webinar series
Today we’re going to introduce ourselves, then tell you just a little bit about our VMware vSphere Boot Camp
And then jump right into the topic: Active Directory for VMware vSphere
First, we’ll explain what VMware vCenter SSO is
Then we will show you two ways to integrate your vCenter with Active Directory
Our practical, real-world VMware training is designed specifically to teach what you need to know to install, run, maintain and update VMware vSphere.
Our Boot Camp materials are current to the most recent release of VMware vSphere and always have an emphasis on Best Practices and Real world techniques.
In class we teach you how to use, manage and diagnose VMware vSphere as a whole and do not fixate on the most expensive options and features available to only a percentage of users.
During class, each student has access to real (physical) servers in a real data center, where you will build your own VMware vSphere environment.
At every stage of the process, you will be working live, with equipment specifically assigned to you for the duration of class.
You’ll have 24 by 7 access to your resources in the class lab, and you can request up to two additional weeks of access to your lab at NO EXTRA COST!
Bottom line is: If you need to improve your skills with VMware vSphere, there’s no better choice than the Netcom VMware vSphere Boot Camp!
The procedures and methods we are going to go over in this webinar were taken right from our experience as active consultants.
In class, you will have the opportunity to explore both methods of using AD with vCenter, using your own vCenter Server!
VMware vCenter 5 and prior versions were Windows-only applications that required Active Directory to install.
Domain Admins of the AD Domain where vCenter was installed, became vCenter Administrators by default.
As you can imagine, in larger organizations with multiple “silos,” AD administrators may not be qualified on VMware and VMware admins may not be authorized for AD administration.
VMware vCenter SSO was actually introduced with version 5.1, but it was a non-functional mess with plaintext passwords and complex installation requiring manual creation of database tables in SQL!
Beginning with vCenter 5.5, VMware vCenter SSO became fully-functional as an independent implementation of MIT Kerberos.
In SSO, it is possible to create Users and Groups, just like any other directory.
It’s also possible to configure aging, password complexity, and two-factor authentication to be compliant with most any standards such as SSAE 16 and ISO 27001
One of the notable advantages of vCenter 5.5 and later versions is that Active Directory is no longer required as a prerequisite for installation, only functioning forward and reverse DNS.
This means non-Windows shops no longer have to keep one or two licensed editions of Windows Server just to run vSphere!
The biggest advantage is that VMware vCenter Server is no longer a subset of a single AD Domain, but potentially a superset of many AD Domains, all authenticating against vCenter SSO independently.
Moreover, the VMware vCenter SSO administrator is created at the time of installation (administrator@vsphere.local or other TLD you create), and is the ONLY default vCenter administrator.
In larger organizations, this is very important, because Domain Administrators not qualified on VMware, will not be granted default access.
The most common, yet disadvantageous, method of integrating VMware vCenter SSO and AD is by using the Machine Account of the vCenter Server.
This means, joining either the Windows OS or the SUSE Linux OS to the AD Domain where it is hosted.
Joining a Windows server to a Domain is common-practice. Joining the VCSA to a Domain is easy and done entirely in the GUI. Both require a reboot.
The problem is that this creates a potential “chicken-and-egg” dependency between the AD Domain and the Operating System where vCenter Server is hosted.
You wouldn’t want to encounter a situation where AD had failed and you couldn’t access vCenter to recover it!
To join the VCSA to an AD Domain, click on: Administration
Then click on: System Configuration
Click on: Nodes
Then locate your vCenter node. Most likely, it will be the only choice.
Enter credentials authorized to join the AD Domain, preferably in UPN format
And reboot your VCSA
After the system has rebooted, choose: Configuration
Then click the tab: Identity Sources
Now choose: Active Directory (Integrated Windows Authentication), followed by: Finish
Your vCenter and Active Directory are now integrated, but we have yet to create a default permission
The best way to integrate vCenter SSO with Active Directory (or any directory) is to use LDAP / LDAPs
In this way, vCenter becomes a client of the directory(ies) that need to authenticate against vCenter
No dependencies are created, and vCenter can run entirely independently of any domain
Click on: Administration
Choose: Configuration then click the tab: Identity Sources
Now choose: Active Directory as an LDAP Server
Enter all of the information in LDAP format, as we show you in the screenshot. If DNS is working correctly, you will not need to pprovide the address of a specific LDAP Server.
Your vCenter is now integrated with one AD Domain. You can add more if required or desirable simply by repeating the process.
To use Active Directory, however, we must create a default permission.
Once the connection between vCenter and AD is established, no matter how it is created, the steps to create the first Global Permission allowing users of that directory to manage vCenter is the same.
Click on: Global Permissions
Then choose the tab: Manage
And finally, click on the: +
Now you can choose the AD Domain
Followed by searching or browsing for the user/group you would like to add
Then click on: Add
And finally: OK
Once the Directory user is added, you chose the Role, which will allow the user limited ot total access to the vCenter Server
In class, we go over how to create and use Roles in detail, to delegate authority to Silos such as “desktop support” or “Linux”, as well as create completely independent multi-tennancy environments.
Now you are ready to use your directory!
We recommend to never “Use Windows Session Credentials” as it requires the “Client Integration Plugin” to the browser, which has had numerous documented vulnerabilities
We recommend using UPN format usernames wherever possible, in vSphere and in general IP practice.
Don’t Forget, we have a Boot Camp in just TWO Weeks in Las Vegas,
Followed by a class on August 14 in New York City
