Standardize, simplify and orchestrate deployments across IBM Bluemix and Apprenda with UrbanCode Deploy
Cloud enable existing multi-tier applications with Apprenda PaaS, making them elastically scalable and reliable
Enable modern applications built with Kubernetes to integrate with on premises systems of record
Enable multiple development teams releasing code at different speeds to coordinate deployments
Achieve abstraction over different cloud APIs
Manual application deployment processes tend to be error prone and inefficient and can make achieving consistent deployments seem impossible.
There is good news. You don’t need to choose between a careful, rigorous approach and a speedy but haphazard one. It’s possible to implement an automated deployment solution that provides consistency and audit trails while improving productivity for your release engineers, operations personnel, and testers.

JAXLondon 2015 "DevOps and the Cloud: All Hail the (Developer) King"Daniel Bryant
Last year we talked about DevOps, what it was, why it was important and how to get started. Boy, was it scary. Now we’re wiser. More battle-scarred. The scale of the challenge for application writers exploiting cloud and DevOps is clearer, but so is the path forward. Understanding the DevOps approach is important but equally you must understand specific deployment technologies. How to exploit them and how they effect the design of applications. Whether creating simple applications or sophisticated microservice architectures many of the challenges are the same.
Presented at JAXLondon 2015 with Steve Poole
My presentation for our Benelux IBM Rational Innovate event. This presentation explains how the IBM Bluemix and devops as a service solution can be used for modern cloud based development.

Accelerate Digital Transformation with IBM Cloud PrivateMichael Elder
Latest version: https://www.slideshare.net/MichaelElder/accelerate-digital-transformation-with-ibm-cloud-private-81258443
Accelerate the journey to cloud-native, refactor existing mission-critical workloads, and catalyze enterprise digital transformations.
How do you ensure the success of your enterprise in highly competitive market landscapes? How will you deliver new cloud-native workloads, modernize existing estates, and drive integration between them?
The complexity of managing and delivering the high level of reliability expected of web-based, cloud hosted systems today, and the expectation of Continuous Delivery of new features has led to the evolution of a totally new field of Service Reliability Engineering catered for such systems. Google, who has been a pioneer in this field, calls it Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). While it would be more aptly named Service Reliability Engineering, the name has caught on. The seminal work documenting Google approach and practices is in the book by Google by the same name (commonly referred to as the ‘SRE book’), and has become the defacto standard on how to adopt SRE in an organization. This session will cover adopting SRE as a practice in organizations also adopting DevOps; address the challenges to adopting SRE faced by large traditional enterprises, and how to overcome them.
Applying DevOps for more reliable Public Sector Software DeliverySanjeev Sharma
Government agencies and contractors must build the competency to deliver software with greater predictability, quality, speed and frequency. The alternative of higher costs and late delivery is no longer acceptable - politically, economically or justifiably. This session will share findings from client experiences and lay out the DevOps approach that is help agencies and their contractors address the challenges inherent in software application delivery.

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.

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).
