Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
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.

Robin van Emden, Senior Director of Data Science at Network Optix, presents the “Building and Scaling AI Applications with the Nx AI Manager,” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this presentation, van Emden covers the basics of scaling edge AI solutions using the Nx tool kit. He emphasizes the process of developing AI models and deploying them globally. He also showcases the conversion of AI models and the creation of effective edge AI pipelines, with a focus on pre-processing, model conversion, selecting the appropriate inference engine for the target hardware and post-processing.
van Emden shows how Nx can simplify the developer’s life and facilitate a rapid transition from concept to production-ready applications.He provides valuable insights into developing scalable and efficient edge AI solutions, with a strong focus on practical implementation.Communications Mining Series - Zero to Hero - Session 1

Africa as an Open source community.
- 1. AFRICA AS AN OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITY Presented by Raindolf Owusu
- 2. Developers in a typical African country Developers in a typical African country Developers in a typical African country All working independently, employed in companies or working as freelance or contract developers
- 3. Isolated Pockets of Expertise • Typically operating without significant cooperation • Unable to scale to work on larger, more profitable projects • Unable to effectively market themselves • Competing, rather than cooperating • Leads to a low level of developer income • Keeps the market wide open to organized foreign teams Lucas Victor Raindolf Ghana
- 4. Better, Stronger, Bigger • Teamwork is essential to breaking down the barriers inhibiting the software developers of Africa • Integrating FOSS developers with proprietary developers is necessary (not enough developers to play around with politics!) • Why do we need bigger, more experienced teams?
- 5. Inefficient Software Development • Without robust, multi-talented teams composed of – Business Development People – Project Managers – Core Developers (advanced) – Supporting Developers (intermediate) – Artwork & Documentation • Reduced client confidence, leading to lost business opportunities
- 6. The Big Picture Nigeria Cameroon Zimbabwe Namibia Kenya Uganda Ghana Senegal South Africa Africa as an open source community • How can we get there from here? • What obstacles will we face? • What form should this effort take?
- 7. The Road Ahead • We can (and should) organize ourselves • We should operate as a professional services team, not as a fragmented set of people • We need a plan • We need direction and leadership
- 8. When did you last contribute code to an African open source project? eg.
- 9. We enjoy FOSS so why not contribute to make it better here? – Ruby on rails , django , python flask, – Mysql , Postgresql , node.js , nosql – Github, Bootstrap , java – Clojure , coffee script – Drupal , wordpress , Ubuntu , Fedora etc
- 10. Why contribute code? • Better Technology • Cost Reduction • Multiple Suppliers/Sources • Technology Transfer • Access to ‘Intellectual Property’ • Development of Indigenous Solutions • Employment
