The document discusses techniques for reducing peak bandwidth consumption for over-the-top (OTT) video streaming. It introduces Bitmovin and Akamai and their roles in video delivery. Six techniques for reducing congestion are described and tested: 1) utilizing complex adaptive encoding, 2) improved video codecs, 3) removing top bitrates from manifests, 4) limiting top bitrate in players, 5) CDN dynamically modifying manifests, and 6) CDN throttling download rates. The results show that complex adaptive encoding and improved codecs can reduce bandwidth the most while maintaining video quality, and that CDN throttling is also effective if access to the CDN is available.

Bitmovin LIVE: NAB 2020 Kickoff Webinar - "COVID-19 and its impact on OTT Video"Bitmovin Inc
The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 has had an immense effect on the global economy, technology, and the way that people live their day-to-day lives. One of the many effects of the pandemic was the cancellation of one of the streaming industry's largest events: NAB Las Vegas. Bitmovin and a handful of its partners organized a virtual experience filled with content as a replacement.
Bitmovin started the virtual experience with a kick-off webinar moderated by Variety with EY, Nielsen, and Verizon as guest panelists. In it, the panel discussed how the streaming industry is changing as a result of global quarantines.
This includes changes in viewer behavior (Nielsen). Industry & Market Dynamics (EY), how the content distribution model is changing (Verizon Media), and the back-end technological implications of all of the changes.

Once only used by mobile operators policy control is now being used by multi-play providers to manage network resource and develop marketing offers. This webinar presents ten policy use cases that are being used in multi-play environments covering mobile, fixed voice, broadband and TV.
Join this webinar to learn:
• The Netflix effect – dangers of bill shock for fixed and multi-play operators and what can be done
• Ten policy use cases for multi-play operators – ranging from QoS management to shared data
• Operator examples from BT, KPN, Singtel and Vodafone of fixed and multi-play innovative use cases
While the streaming media market is rapidly evolving
throughout the world, China is clearly leading the way in
OTT deployment. With over 738 Million internet users[1],
China heads the world. (Compare this to the United States
with fewer than 300 Million users.)[2] Internet penetration
in China is growing very quickly – from a mere 16 percent
in 2007 to over 55 percent in 2015. The explosive growth in
Internet users has subsequently spawned a tremendous
demand for OTT video. An estimated 229 Chinese people
will watch video via an OTT streaming subscription in
2018. [3] Fueled by such demand, China is putting OTT into
practice faster than any other geography.

As consumer expectations for high quality video increases, there is a greater need for video distributors to encode with higher quality, while simultaneously reducing the load on the network. In an effort to never use more bits than a video program requires, new techniques are needed. One popular approach which was pioneered by Beamr, and subsequently is being promoted by Netflix and others, is referred to as content-adaptive. A content-adaptive approach is where the encoding system adapts the recipe to the needs of the content. This is in stark contrast to what is being promoted by Apple in their tech note 2224. In this short intro presentation, several accessible content-adaptive encoding methods are covered, along with an introduction to Beamr's approach. http://downloads.beamr.com/content-adaptive-encoding-white-paper/
"Adaptive Bitrate Streaming Over HTTP/S is now the modus-operandi of media content delivery for both live and video on demand services and workflows. As Content Providers, Broadcasters and rights holders are moving to make their content available anytime/anywhere, the pressures for sustainable, scalable and personalized monetization plans are ever increasing. Monetization business requirements are driving content owners to explore these technologies to help drive and open additional revenue paths for streaming content anywhere, anytime and on any device.
The objective of this session is to have a better understanding of Ad insertion, which includes: Client-side, Baked-in, and Current Server Sider Ad Stitching technologies with a special focus on end-to-end implementations. Highlighting on each component and discussing the pros and cons based on business requirements such as personalization, scale, low latency, failover and redundancy strategies.

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.
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.

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).
