Monitoring Apps & Networks in a Cloud-Centric World at Gartner IOSS 2016ThousandEyes
Cloud and mobile technologies are changing your network, from where services are hosted to where they are consumed. These trends have profound implications for application delivery, network architectures and diagnostic techniques. We’ll discuss three case studies from organizations that are undergoing, and managing, the transition to a cloud-centric network.
Simplify Cloud Migration to AWS with RISC Network’s Complete App AnalysisRISC Networks
Before beginning the migration process, organizations need a deep understanding the what they have in their current environment. CloudScape from RISC Networks provides organizations with actionable data about the applications and data in their on-premises environment to properly formulate a plan for migration. RISC Networks breaks down this process in four phases: agentless discovery of data, add intelligence to the data, consume the intelligence, and act on the intelligence. These crucial steps help organizations determine which applications should be moved to the cloud before others, and which ones to retire. Leveraging the tools provided by RISC Networks to begin your migration to AWS ensures that your organization will have a total understanding of your entire infrastructure and a tailored migration plan. Once migrated to AWS, RISC Networks continues to track application analytics, to ensure they are working properly.

Scale Your Load Balancer from 0 to 1 million TPS on AzureAvi Networks
For years, enterprises have relied on appliance-based (hardware or virtual) load balancers. Unfortunately, these legacy ADCs are inflexible at scale, costly due to overprovisioning for peak traffic, and slow to respond to changes or security incidents.
These problems are amplified as applications migrate to the cloud. In contrast, the Avi Vantage Platform not only elastically scales up and down based on real-time traffic patterns, but also offers ludicrous scale at a fraction of the cost.
Watch this webinar to see how Avi can scale up and down quickly on the Microsoft Azure Cloud.
- Configure load balancing on Azure to scale up from 0 to 1 million transactions per second (TPS) and down in under 10 minutes
- Learn why hardware or virtual appliances are not an option for modern load balancing in public clouds
- Understand how Avi’s elastic scale dramatically lowers TCO and enhances security, including DDoS attacks

How to Build a Big Data Application: Serverless Editionecobold
Come learn how to build, launch, and scale a Big Data application in a serverless context. This is going to be an information packed meetup around Big Data processing, Lambda functions, Lambda Step functions, and everything that ties them together.
Big Data is something we're very passionate about. As the cost of servers have come down and the cost of software has become free, using data to drive your business has become much more obtainable to a larger group of companies. The serverless methodology has recently come in the scene, and it's proving to be just as transformational as cloud has been to the Big Data analytics space. We will be sharing some of our learnings and experiences over the last two years of working with Big Data in a serverless context. We will cover one or two examples of eventful Big Data processing, and the impact it can have on your business in terms of speed of analytics and cost savings to the bottom line.

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).

Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

Lessons and Takeaways
• Understand your network and application interdependencies
– Front-end interfaces often depend on many back-end APIs
• How does your cloud provider work?
– Understand architecture and interdependencies
– Single AZ, multi-AZ, multi-cloud
– AWS ≠ Azure ≠ GCP
• Inform your Incident Response / Outage Management
– Specific guidance when issues take place
– Example: we’re seeing 2x API responses and it is impacting x, y, z across all zones
• Independent visibility and verification is needed
– Don’t just depend on the status page!
