IT INFRASTRUCTURE OVERVIEW
IT infrastructure - includes the hardware, software, and telecommunications equipment that, when combined, provide the underlying foundation to support the organization’s goalsClient/server networks, the Internet, and n-tier infrastructures are central to an organization’s IT infrastructureThe three primary components of any IT infrastructure include:
Client/server networks
Internet
N-tier infrastructures
Computer Networks:Arguably, the greatest advancement in technology and communication over the past 20 years has been the development and advancement of the “computer network”. From emailing a friend to on-line bill paying to downloading data off the Internet to e-commerce, networking has made our world much smaller and changed the way we communicate forever.
What is Network: a system containing any combination of computers, computer terminals, printers, audio or visual display devices, or telephones interconnected by telecommunication equipment or cables: used to transmit or receive information.

I used this slide as a Introduction to the different types of networks. I tried to let the graphics do the talking on this slide. I elaborated more on each network type on subsequent slides.
Local Area NetworkA Local Area Network spans a relatively small areaLANs are usually confined to one building or a group of buildings Data travel between network devices via network cablesThe most common type of Local Area Network is called Ethernet

I kept the graphic the same as the previous graphic representing the Local Area Network in hopes of creating a degree familiarity. I also include some basic facts about it.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.
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.

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.

Network HardwareNetwork Hardware
26. Switching and Routing
Messages you transmit must be routed to arrive at
the destination computer
Packet Switching
Data is divided up into small chunks called packets
Each packet has a number and is separately addressed
to the destination computer
Use TCP/IP to makes sure the packets are delivered
Network HardwareNetwork Hardware
27. Router
Device that makes sure packets be sent to destination
They route the traffic and packets aren’t send in order
All networks connected to the Internet use routers
Use routing tables to decide how the packet be delivered
Router identify the shortest possible path for the packets
Receiving computer must put them back in correct order
If some packets didn’t make it, receiving computer
requests a re-transmission

28. The amount of data transmitting in a media/cable per unit
time. The more the bandwidth the more the speed of data
transmitted.
Classified into:
Downstream Bandwidth (Download)
Upstream Bandwidth (Upstream)
Measured in bps, Kbps, Mbps, Gbps
How much do we need?
For text – 56 Kbps is enough
For graphics as in the Internet – 128 Kbps or high

29. Twisted pair
Wire used for telephone is called twisted pair
Consists of two insulated wires – twisted so it protects the
wire from electromagnetic interference
Connections based on telephone wiring include

30. Coaxial Cable
Center wire surrounded by insulation and Used for cable TV
Connections based on coaxial cable include
Cable Modem which Sends and receives signals over the
cable TV network
Users share network access with other Cable TV subscribers
and slow down if too many users are on-line
Network MediaNetwork Media
31. Fiber Optic Cable
Thin strands of glass that use light to transmit signals
Each strand as thin as a human hair and is protected by
insulation and protective coating
Fiber Optic Have Advantages over Coaxial and Twisted Pair
Can carry more signals and Faster data transmission
Less susceptible to interference from outside devices
