Learn more about what The Cloud is (and isn't) with an easy introduction to Microsoft Office365. Learn how Office365 can power your business by reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
Typical disaster recovery plans leverage backup and/or replication to move data out of the primary data center and to a secondary site. Historically, the secondary site is another data center that the organization maintains. But now, companies are looking to the cloud to become a secondary site, leveraging it as a backup target and even a place to start their applications in the event of a failure. The problem with this approach is that it merely simulates a legacy design and presents some significant recovery challenges.
KEYNOTE: Edge optimized architecture for fabric defect detection in real-timeShuquan Huang
In textile industry, fabric defect relies on human inspection traditionally, which is inaccurate, inconsistent, inefficient and expensive. There were automatic systems developed on the defect detection by identifying the faults in fabric surface using the image and video processing techniques. However, the existing solution has insufficiencies in defect data sharing, backhaul interconnect, maintenance and etc. By evolving to an edge-optimized architecture, we can help textile industry improve fabric quality, reduce operation cost and increase production efficiency. In this session, I’ll share:
What’s edge computing and why it’s important to intelligence manufacturing
What’s the characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of traditional fabric defect detection method
Why textile industry can benefit from edge computing infrastructure
How to design and implement an edge-enabled application for fabric defect detection in real-time
Insights, synergy and future research directions

Most executives realize the promise of Cloud, but often underestimate the total cost of ownership for moving information systems off-premise. On the plus side, the Cloud offers agility, scalability, lower initial costs, ease of maintenance and minimal staffing needs. But control is diminished and overall complexity increases, sometimes significantly. If not managed carefully, any large-scale move to the Cloud can create a host of new, often intractable challenges.
Register for this episode of Hot Technologies to learn from veteran analysts Lyndsay Wise and Dr. Robin Bloor, along with Marc Clark of Teradata, as they discuss cost analysis and benefits of moving to the cloud. They will cover key components that organizations often face when considering Cloud deployments, framed within the context of TCO and designed to demonstrate the differences between on-premise and cloud environments.

A popular pattern today is the injection of declarative (or functional) mini-languages into general purpose host languages. Years ago, this is what LINQ for C# was all about. Now there are many more examples such as the Spark or Beam APIs for Java and Scala. The opposite embedding is also possible: start with a declarative (or functional) language as the outer host and then embed a general purpose language. This is the path we took for Scope years ago (Scope is a Microsoft-internal big data analytics language) and have recently shipped as U-SQL. In this case, the host language is close to T-SQL (Transact SQL is Microsoft’s SQL language for SQL Server and Azure SQL DB) and the embedded language is C#. By embedding the general purpose language in a declarative language, we enable all-of-program (not just all-of stage) optimization, parallelization, and scheduling. The resulting jobs can flexibly scale to leverage thousands of machines.

Q&A
IoT Architecture - are traditional architectures good enough?Guido Schmutz
Independent of the source of data, the integration of event streams into an Enterprise Architecture gets more and more important in the world of sensors, social media streams and Internet of Things. Events have to be accepted quickly and reliably, they have to be distributed and analysed, often with many consumers or systems interested in all or part of the events. Dependent on the size and quantity of such events, this can quickly be in the range of Big Data. How can we efficiently collect and transmit these events? How can we make sure that we can always report over historical events? How can these new events be integrated into traditional infrastructure and application landscape?
Starting with a product and technology neutral reference architecture, we will then present different solutions using Open Source frameworks and the Oracle Stack both for on premises as well as the cloud.
This is a 2 hour strategy workshop developed by Predrag Mitrovic (http://mynethouse.se and http://cloudadvisor.se).
The workshop is intended for CIOs and roles close to business strategy formulation around technology. Feel free to use the material and develop it further, as long as you give me access to the updated materials.
Any questions can be directed to my e-mail: predrag[at]mynethouse.se
I hope that you enjoy this material and find it useful.
/Predrag a.k.a Cloud Advisor
Cloud computing redefines the way we deliver and use services to support the creation of business value. This change in delivery shifts the way data centres provide applications and infrastructure support to users. Like any major IT project, migrating from a traditional IT Infrastructure to a Cloud environment is not an exercise to be taken lightly.
Whether you are planning to running a private, public or hybrid cloud service in your organisation this presentation will help you prepare a cloud ready data centre and enable you to assess & prioritise your workload migration.
How Cloud Computing Will Transform Information ManagementKnowledge Cue
At the Information Management Summit held in February Jane Cope presented a session entitled “Will Cloud computing transform Information Management” in which she discussed the types of cloud options and the pros and cons. The gist was that moving to cloud won’t change Information Management, but it will influence and impact the way in which we work, and subsequently the way in which we manage our data which fuels information management.

Don't Be So Humble; You're Not That Great _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs.pdfAndy (Avraham) Blumenthal

Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Right now, hate-filled anarchists, Marxists, and radicals are foaming and frothing at the mouth, very sure of themselves, and giving phony press conferences, posting “legal observers,” and surrounding and terrorizing innocent people, while the authorities and law enforcement seem to do little to nothing.
Every one of these bad actors has had their fun and lived out their fantasy of independence and “saving the world” (not!) and now it is time when they will pay the piper for their knowing misdeeds. The parents, institutions, “professors,” and our politicians need to wake up now, restore truth and order, and salvage what is left of the shattered credibility and lives of these unfortunate and misguided souls.
America Is the Target; Israel Is the Front Line _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs...Andy (Avraham) Blumenthal
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: This is not about free speech but about a takeover of America. These vile terrorist supporters are using our very Constitution against us as they falsely cry Islamophobia and free speech, all the while impeding, threatening, and committing acts of violence against students, citizens, and an orderly democracy. It is time for Americans to stop being complacent or fooled by their terrorist talking points and rhetoric of hate, racism, and Communist ideology. In the face of this evil, we are finally seeing Patriots emerge, proudly carrying and defending the American flag, singing the Star-Spangled Banner, and boldly chanting USA!
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: On college campuses across America, why do we hear "free Palestine" but not "free Ukraine" when the Ukrainian issue is so much larger and more deadly?
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: This year at Passover seder, I had the privilege to sit next to an elderly Jewish lady, whom I’ll call Esther. We sat together at a Chabad seder, and on the wall next to us was a beautiful painting of the Rebbe.
My wife and I were spellbound by his lifelike holy image, especially his knowing, piercing blue eyes. In fact, we joked that it would be funny if the eyes started to move back and forth in the painting. Esther, who was sitting directly next to me, overheard us and proceeded to tell me some amazing stories about the Rebbe, which I am pleased to be able to share with all of you.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: We have all been following the horrific news and video clips coming out of our American universities of blatant antisemitism coupled with intimidation, harassment, barring of access, and violence from Hamas terrorist protesters against Jewish students and faculty under the false guise of blaring calls for Palestinian freedom “from the river to the sea.”
As our enemies gleefully chant, “There is only one solution, intifada revolution” and “by any (violent, abhorrent) means necessary,” we must answer with our “one solution” and that is to hold accountable the corrupt and even criminal institutions and leadership that are openly permitting this to occur.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Modern-day anti-Semitism has taken the form of pro-Hamas supporters on our campuses and in our cities who pretend that they are fighting against colonialism and an occupation of Palestine. They strategically disguise their Jew-hatred by falsely portraying themselves as the victims of oppression. Instead of showing themselves as the vile racists that they are, they attempt to hide as wolves in sheep's clothing. They do this to try and get the world's sympathy and take the mantle of morality and legitimacy through lies and distortion. In so doing, they can call for resistance, intifada, and jihad, and "by any (murderous and abhorrent) means necessary," all the while pretending to be virtuous.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: One of the great issues in dealing with life is what happens when we die. Is it “game over” and we are gone for good, or as Jews we believe that while our bodies die, our souls live on in eternity with Hashem. However, another scenario to deal with is if we still have imperfections that we need to work on, does G-d bring us back again through the reincarnation of our souls (“Gilgul Neshamot”) to continue the process of learning, growth, and perfecting ourselves?
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Day after day, week after week now, we see the vile Hamas terrorist supporters acting out in public, screaming, cursing, threatening, blocking, harassing, burning flags, pushing, prodding, and violently attacking others (i.e., Zionists and Jews). In any normal situation, the police would be there protecting the innocent, stopping the harassment, and arresting the violent agitators. But these days, what do we see? The police seem to be doing virtually nothing to stop them.
Without any serious consequences from our law enforcement, courts, or politicians, we can expect things to continue to escalate and get more dangerous.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Since October 7, it has become almost a daily chorus by Hamas and their supporters around the world condemning Israel for “occupation.” However, if you really examine the facts, it becomes clear that the word occupation is nothing more than propaganda and a tool of radical Islam for hate, intifada, jihad, and terrorism.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: There are countless shakeups and wake-up calls of life that span from small to large crises that test our faith and ability to cope. In whatever circumstances we find ourselves, it's not about escaping from the difficulties, but finding G-d even when he seems absent or hidden from us. G-d is there, and so is a path toward overcoming the challenges, sanctifying our lives, and finding our meaning and significance.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Tick-tock.
The days are, oh, so long.
The years of the past now seem so short.
I am waiting for salvation.
In my heart, I pray over and over:
“Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d,
King of the Universe,
Who sets free those in bonds.”
I know you are coming to rescue me.
I am waiting for you.
The Topsy Turvy World of Baby Killers and Nazis _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs...Andy (Avraham) Blumenthal
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: One of the toughest things to bear is when our enemies hypocritically use psychological projection and try to turn the tables, calling us "Baby Killers," "Rapists," and "Nazis," when this is exactly the criminal behavior that the Hamas terrorists perpetrated at the October 7 massacre in Southern Israel.
For Israel, it's as if being barbarically attacked and victimized with the rape and mutilation of women, beheadings and burnings of babies, and murders and abductions of young and old aren't enough. But then to suffer the grotesque turning of reality on its head by having the perpetrators of these crimes call you out as the aggressor is beyond imagination.
As we approach the Jewish holiday of Purim, we have to maintain our ultimate faith in the Almighty that those corrupt evildoers who seek our destruction "by any means necessary" will ultimately themselves face justice like the evil Haman (perhaps the forefather of Hamas).
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: What blind love and hate do have in common is an irrational mob mentality that destroys one's ability to think rationally and morally. When you either deprive people of real information and outside perspectives, brainwash them, or create a sense of baseless fear and anger, you can bring out a real destructive side of humanity that borders on the psychotic and sociopathic. Thus, when people get back to their family, friends, and "real life," similar to when Hitler was killed and the Nazis and their propaganda machine were defeated, then perspective and normalcy could return. This is why it's so important to fight the fake news and brainwashing that are so prevalent right now.
In the end, love is not actually blind, but hate most certainly is completely blind, deaf, and utterly dumb.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Foes are turned into friends.
Families grow rather than attend early funerals.
Communities bustle and prosper rather than lie as dying evacuated ghost towns.
We all become part of a community of nations working to solve life's biggest problems, instead of planning how to maim and kill each other with greater pinpoint accuracy and effect.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: We know that Israel wants more than anything to live in peace and that they have tried virtually everything to make peace with their neighbors, including multiple offerings of a state for the Palestinians (and even giving in to practically their every demand, often to the Israelis own detriment), only to meet with one repeated rejection after another reiterating the Arab League's Khartoum Resolution: "no peace with Israel, no negotiation with Israel, and no recognition of Israel."
After October 7, the deadly abuse absolutely could not continue any longer.
There is a time to walk away and a time for necessary action.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: While there are many factors that contribute to our national success, certainly if we are going to be able to confront the challenges we face both at home and abroad, we must have strong and courageous leadership. Not only to unite us but also to evoke our very best, we need leadership that commands respect from both left and right, with a mighty and passionate vision that moves us not only to farseeing human progress but equally to moral righteousness. With this, we can instill pride in both who we are and where we are going and not be in fear of what’s threatening our streets or our shores anymore.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: In my opinion, the only tactical way to rescue the hostages is to locate and map the tunnel they are hiding in and then gas them all to sleep. The gas would need to be carefully regulated so as not to alert the terrorists that it is being used and not to harm the hostages. The gas needs to be odorless and colorless (like nitrous oxide) to camouflage its use, and the Israeli commandos will need to be hairpin-ready to blow the blast doors and get in to rescue the hostages.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Everything that happens in this world has not only a physical dimension but a spiritual one as well. Our very existence is a combination of body and soul, so naturally they work together in tandem. And our physical well-being must be matched by our spiritual alignment with God.
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).
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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
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.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
