The document discusses Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) and its capabilities for managing virtualization infrastructure. SCVMM allows for modeling networks, storage, and templates to deploy and manage virtual machines. It integrates with Hyper-V, VMware, and XenServer hypervisors and supports public, private and hybrid cloud deployments. SCVMM provides capabilities for network virtualization, storage management, and service template deployment of multi-tier applications.

Windows Azure is jam packed with features to choose from for building web applications and services that scale - but there are a core set of choices and features that are applicable to most scenarios. This session will get you up to speed on the essential features developers should be aware of, and how to apply them in practical scenarios. You’ll learn why cloud services are the typical choice for feature-rich applications, and learn what you can’t live without in terms of startup tasks, SMTP services, blob storage, message queuing options, diagnostics, monitoring and security features.

Virtual Replication Built for AWS - Session Sponsored by ZertoAmazon Web Services
Virtual Replication Built for AWS
Disaster recovery planning can be challenging as the hardware, software and second site requirements are expensive and take a significant amount of time to acquire, configure and maintain. A great use case for public clouds, like Amazon Web Services is for business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR).
In this session, we will discuss how you can use Zerto Virtual Replication in conjunction with AWS form a simple and powerful BC/DR solution that comes with a predictable, monthly cost.
We will discuss:
• Why should you consider public cloud
• How Zerto help you leverage it
• Meet BC/DR requirements fast
Deploying Kafka on vSphere with Kubernetes Using the Confluent Operator (Just...confluent
This session starts with the importance of Kafka as an event streaming and messaging platform for application-to-application communication - and gives a quick snapshot of the Confluent Platform. Then the "operators" method for deployment of many app platforms onto Kubernetes is underlined. We then take you step-by-step through a deployment of the Confluent Operator for Kafka on vSphere 7 with Kubernetes and show the benefits of this approach. We also show a second, external, Kafka message producer sending messages into the Kubernetes cluster and a consumer receiving them from there. This shows the ease of deployment, management and testing of Kafka with the Confluent Operator and Platform. Mention will be made about using a standalone Kubernetes cluster also. Attendees will leave with a good understanding of Kafka on modern vSphere.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...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. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
