Deduplication reduces the amount of disk storage needed to retain and protect data by ratios of 10-30x and greater, making a disk a cost-effective alternative to tape. Data on disk is available online and onsite for longer retention periods, and restores become fast and reliable. Storing only unique data on disk also means that data can be cost-effectively replicated over existing networks to remote sites for disaster recovery and consolidated tape operations.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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.

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).

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!

Tolerance for data loss (sec’s,
hours, days); determines
frequency of backups
Recovery Time Objective
The shorter the Recovery Time
Objective (RTO) the quicker you
get back to business

an ever increasing amount of data
Value of Data
The Business value of data is
rarely understood
6. Choosing Backup Option
Influences
• Value of the Data
• What is the cost to the company of not getting the data
back? This is the true question to be asked
• Can some data be restored later and some more quickly?
• Will different backup and restore options suit different data
categories
• Backup Window
• How much time is available to backup the data?
• With the growth rate of the data how long will the window
last
• Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
• How quickly does the data need to be restored?
• Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
• To which point in time must the data be restored?
7. RMAN
• Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) is the Oracle-preferred
method for efficiently backing up and recovering Oracle
databases
• Reduces exposure of data loss for Oracle database environments
• RMAN backup to disk is preferred over tape because disk provides faster
restore
• It’s already built into the Oracle Database
• Cost Effective, no extra licences to buy
• No third party technology to purchase and coordinate
• Ensures transaction integrity and manages all information required for
database recovery at any point in time
• RMAN copies only database blocks that have changed since
previous backup
• Up to an order of magnitude reduction in backup and recovery times
• Significantly improved Recovery Time Objective (RTO) Service Levels
8. Exadata Backup (Fastest!)
• RTO: Immediate
• RPO: Lossless
• Customer has the business requirements to support
purchase of additional Exadata machine
