Amazon Web Services e VMware organizzano un evento virtuale gratuito il prossimo mercoledì 14 Ottobre dalle 12:00 alle 13:00 dedicato a VMware Cloud ™ on AWS, il servizio on demand che consente di eseguire applicazioni in ambienti cloud basati su VMware vSphere® e di accedere ad una vasta gamma di servizi AWS, sfruttando a pieno le potenzialità del cloud AWS e tutelando gli investimenti VMware esistenti.
Molte organizzazioni sfruttano i vantaggi del cloud migrando i propri carichi di lavoro Oracle e assicurandosi notevoli vantaggi in termini di agilità ed efficienza dei costi.
La migrazione di questi carichi di lavoro, può creare complessità durante la modernizzazione e il refactoring delle applicazioni e a questo si possono aggiungere rischi di prestazione che possono essere introdotti quando si spostano le applicazioni dai data center locali.
Crea la tua prima serverless ledger-based app con QLDB e NodeJSAmazon Web Services
Molte aziende oggi, costruiscono applicazioni con funzionalità di tipo ledger ad esempio per verificare lo storico di accrediti o addebiti nelle transazioni bancarie o ancora per tenere traccia del flusso supply chain dei propri prodotti.
Alla base di queste soluzioni ci sono i database ledger che permettono di avere un log delle transazioni trasparente, immutabile e crittograficamente verificabile, ma sono strumenti complessi e onerosi da gestire.
Amazon QLDB elimina la necessità di costruire sistemi personalizzati e complessi fornendo un database ledger serverless completamente gestito.
In questa sessione scopriremo come realizzare un'applicazione serverless completa che utilizzi le funzionalità di QLDB.
Con l’ascesa delle architetture di microservizi e delle ricche applicazioni mobili e Web, le API sono più importanti che mai per offrire agli utenti finali una user experience eccezionale. In questa sessione impareremo come affrontare le moderne sfide di progettazione delle API con GraphQL, un linguaggio di query API open source utilizzato da Facebook, Amazon e altro e come utilizzare AWS AppSync, un servizio GraphQL serverless gestito su AWS. Approfondiremo diversi scenari, comprendendo come AppSync può aiutare a risolvere questi casi d’uso creando API moderne con funzionalità di aggiornamento dati in tempo reale e offline.
Inoltre, impareremo come Sky Italia utilizza AWS AppSync per fornire aggiornamenti sportivi in tempo reale agli utenti del proprio portale web.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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.
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.

AWS and Disaster Recovery - Bixler
1. Disaster Recovery with
Amazon Web Services
Tim Bixler | tbixler@amazon.com
Federal Solutions Architects Manager
and Principal Solutions Architect
2. Let’s start by defining what we mean
• Archiving is the process of moving data that is no longer actively used to a
separate data storage device for long-term retention. Data archives
typically are indexed and have search capabilities so that files and parts of
files can be easily located and retrieved.
• A backup or the process of backing up is making copies of data which may
be used to restore the original after a data loss event. The primary
purpose is to recover data after its loss, be it by data deletion or
corruption. The secondary purpose of backups is to recover data from an
earlier time.
• Disaster recovery (DR) is the process, policies and procedures related to
preparing for recovery or continuation of technology infrastructure critical
to an organization after a natural or human-induced disaster.
3. Disaster Recovery became a hot topic for
enterprises in 2011
• Flooding and cyclone in Australia The first six months saw $265
• Mudslides Rio de Janeiro billion in economic losses
• Earthquake in New Zealand [worldwide], well above the
previous record of $220 billion
• Tsunami and flooding in Japan (adjusted for inflation) set for all of
• Tornados and flooding in USA 2005 (the year Hurricane Katrina
struck)
• Flooding in Taiwan -- Munich Re, a multinational that
insures insurance companies
4. But physical infrastructure for DR and
archiving is expensive
• Physical storage demands exploding
– Network Attached Storage (NAS)
– Storage Attached Network (SAN)
• DR physical second site is expensive
• Geographic distribution is challenging
• Reliable storage and retrieval is hard

21. AWS Storage Gateway Service – Backup & DR
http://aws.amazon.com/storagegateway
24. You might be able to:
• Slash parts of your DR budget by 50%
• Eliminate 30%+ of your on premises IT footprint
• Eliminate your need for physical secondary site(s)
• Eliminate tape for backup and archive
25. Let’s start with where DR fits into your plans
High Backup Disaster
Availability Storage Recovery
• It’s part of a business continuity continuum
• It’s not an all or nothing proposition
• In the face of internal or external events, how do you…
– Keep your applications running 24x7
– Make sure you data is safe
– Get an application back up after a major disaster
26. Disaster recovery on the continuum
• Recover from any event
• Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
– Acceptable time period within which normal operation (or
degraded operation) needs to be restored after event
• Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
– Acceptable data loss measured in time
• Traditional IT model has DR in a second physical site
– Low end DR: off-site backups
– High end DR: hot site active-active architecture
27. Here’s why you save with AWS as the 2nd site

29. There are two main approaches to recovery
Starting from AWS
• Implement a high availability architecture
• Implement a disaster recovery strategy
• Rapidly restore and failover within AWS
• Implement a high availability architecture Starting from your
Data Center
• Implement a disaster recovery strategy
• Use backed up data to run analytics in AWS
• Rapidly restore from AWS to on-premises
• Rapidly failover to AWS while restoring on-premises
