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.

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).

5. Arduino Board
“Strong Friend” Created in Ivrea, Italy
in 2005 by Massimo Banzi & David Cuartielles
Open Source Hardware
Atmel Processor
Coding is accessible (C++, Processing, ModKit and MiniBloq)
7. What can it do?
•Great for prototyping ideas
•Access to multiple I/O
•Drive motors, turn on lights,
trigger controls.
•Low Power requirements
•Flexible / Open-source
10. Setup Serial COM Port
Tools → Serial Port →
Notes:
PC –
Highest COM #
Mac –
/dev/tty.usbserial-A####xxx
11. Analog and Digital
• All Arduino signals are either Analog or
Digital
• All computers including Arduino, only
understand Digital
• It is important to understand the difference
between Analog and Digital signals since
Analog signals require an Analog to Digital
conversion
12. Input vs. Output
Everything is referenced from the perspective of the
microcontroller.
Inputs is a signal going into the board.
Output is any signal exiting an electrical system
• Almost all systems that use physical computing will
have some form of output
• Often – Outputs include LEDs, a motor, a servo, a
piezo element, a relay and an RGB LED
13. Basic Program
Two required routines /
methods / functions:
void setup()
{
// runs once
}
void loop()
{
// repeats forever!!!
}

14. Let’s get to hacking…
Project #1 – Blink
“Hello World” of Physical Computing
Psuedo-code – how should this work?
Turn
LED ON
Wait
Turn
LED
OFF
Wait
Rinse &
Repeat
15. Three commands to know…
pinMode(pin, INPUT/OUTPUT);
ex: pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(pin, HIGH/LOW);
ex: digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(time_ms);
ex: delay(2500);
16. LED1 = ~3;
LED2 = ~5;
LED3 = ~10;
LED4 = 13;
Can you figure out which LED is tied to
which pin? Write down a few notes in your
notebook!

17. Output is always Digital
To output a signal that pretends to be Analog
use this code:
analogWrite (pinNumber, value );
Where pin is one of the analog output pins: 3,
5, 6, 9, 10, 11
Where value is a number ranging from: 0 –
255.
18. Output is always Digital
(ON or OFF)
Using a Digital signal that pretends to be an Analog
signal is called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
By varying the duty cycle, we can “fake” an analog
signal output.
PWM is available on Arduino pins # 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and
11

19. Using Variables
To clean-up code, for read-ability, and flexibility
– we can create placeholders in code.
Example:
int ledPin = 3;
void setup(){
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop(){
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
}
23. BUTTON1 = 2;
BUTTON2 = 6;
BUTTON3 = 9;
BUTTON4 = 12;
Can you figure out which Button is tied to
which pin? Write down a few notes in your
notebook!

25. Digital Input
• To connect digital input to your Arduino use Digital
Pins # 0 – 13 (Although pins # 0 & 1 are also used
for serial)
• Digital Input needs a pinMode command:
pinMode ( pinNumber, INPUT );
Make sure to use caps for INPUT
• To get a digital reading: digitalRead ( pinNumber );
• Digital Input values are only HIGH (On) or LOW (Off)
26. Last bit… the buzzer
SIMON_3_BUZZER
Final command to know:
tone(pin, freq, duration);
pin – the OUTPUT pin the buzzer is
connected to.
freq – unsigned int (0 … 65,535)
duration – unsigned long (0 … 2^32 - 1)
27. Buzzer Pins
The Buzzer is connected between pins D4
and D7.
You must set both pins as OUTPUTs –
pinMode(4, OUTPUT);
pinMode(7, OUTPUT);
Use tone(4, 440); to generate a 440 Hz
sound.
