Holistic Security for OpenStack CloudsMajor Hayden
Nothing clears out a conference room faster than a discussion around information security. Securing complex computer systems, such as OpenStack clouds, is extremely difficult. To make matters worse, attackers can make many mistakes without consequences. A defender’s single mistake could lead to a breach.
Don't let fear rule the discussion around security.
Operators need a simple and scalable method for securing OpenStack clouds. That starts with grouping components into compartments and then looking at how those compartments interact with each other. Those interactions form the backbone of security policies and technical controls.
In this vendor-neutral talk, Major Hayden, principal architect at Rackspace, will break down the complexity of securing OpenStack clouds using real-world scenarios. Attendees will learn how to:
Divide OpenStack deployments into compartments
Analyze the interactions between each component
Develop security policies and apply technical controls
Provide network interconnections between Openstack clouds/regions ?
Neutron offers floating IPs and IPSec VPNaaS. However this is not always good enough: sometimes network isolation is needed, but without the the overhead of IPSec encryption.
How to avoid putting the burden on an orchestrator ?
Solutions exist to create interconnections in ways specific to each overlay technology or SDN backends, but they require central coordination via an orchestrator (not always easy), and sometimes also the provisioing of network devices (not always simple).

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).

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.

What is Neutron API / Networking API
The Networking API / Neutron API is a ReSTful HTTP service that uses all aspects
of the HTTP protocol including methods, URIs, media types, response codes, and
so on. Providers can use existing features of the protocol including caching,
persistent connections, and content compression. For example, providers who
employ a caching layer can respond with a 203 code instead of a 200 code when a
request is served from the cache. Additionally, providers can offer support for
conditional GET requests by using ETags, or they may send a redirect in response
to a GET request. Create clients so that these differences are accounted for.
3. 3
Networks
Networks are the basic networking concept in Neutron. A Neutron network is
considered to be roughly equivalent to a physical network in terms of function: it
defines a single layer 2 connectivity graph.
In vanilla Neutron, these can map to the underlay network in various ways, either by
being encapsulated over it or by being directly mapped to it.
Generally speaking, Neutron networks can be created by all tenants. The
administrator tenant will generally create some public Neutron networks that map to
the underlay physical network directly for providing floating IPs: other tenants will
create their own private Neutron networks as necessary.
4. 4
Networks
In Calico, because all traffic is L3 and routed, the role of Neutron network as L2
connectivity domain is not helpful. Therefore, in Calico, Neutron networks are simply
containers for subnets. Best practices for operators configuring Neutron networks in
Calico deployments can be found in this document.
It is not useful for non-administrator tenants to create their own Neutron networks.
Although Calico will allow non-administrator tenants to create Neutron networks,
generally speaking administrators should use Neutron quotas to prevent non-
administrator tenants from doing this.
Network creation events on the API are no-op events in Calico: a positive (2XX)
response will be sent but no programming will actually occur.
5. 5
Extended Attributes: Provider Networks
Neutron Provider networks are not used in Calico deployments. Setting provider
network extended attributes will have no effect. See this document to understand
why Neutron provider networks are not needed.
Subnets
Neutron subnets are child objects of Neutron networks. In vanilla Neutron, a subnet
is a collection of IP addresses and other network configuration (e.g. DNS servers)
that is associated with a single Neutron network. A single Neutron network may
have multiple Neutron subnets associated with it. Each Neutron subnet represents
either an IPv4 or IPv6 block of addresses.
Best practices for configuring Neutron subnets in Calico deployments can be
found here.
In Calico, these roles for the Neutron subnet are preserved in their entirety. All
properties associated with these Neutron subnets are preserved and remain
meaningful except for:
host_routes
These have no effect, as the compute nodes will route traffic immediately after it
egresses the VM.
6. 6
Ports
In vanilla Neutron, a port represents a connection from a VM to a single layer 2
Neutron network. Obviously, the meaning of this object changes in a Calico
deployment: instead, a port is a connection from a VM to the shared layer 3 network
that Calico builds in Neutron.
All properties on a port work as normal, except for the following:
network_id
The network ID still controls which Neutron network the port is attached to, and
therefore still controls which Neutron subnets it will be placed in. However, as per
the note above, the Neutron network that a port is placed in does not affect which
machines in the deployment it can contact.
7. 7
Security Groups
Security groups in vanilla OpenStack provide packet filtering processing to individual
ports. They can be used to limit the traffic a port may issue.
In Calico, security groups have all the same function. Additionally, they serve to
provide the connectivity-limiting function that in vanilla OpenStack is provided by
Neutron networks.
All the attributes of security groups remain unchanged in Calico.
8. 8
Security Groups
Layer 3 Routing: Routers and Floating Ips
Layer 3 routing objects are divided into two categories: routers and floating IPs.
Neither of these objects are supported by Calico: they simply aren’t required. For
more information, see this document.
Any attempt to create these objects will fail, as Calico does not set up any Neutron
L3 Agents.
LBaaS (Load Balancer as a Service)
Load Balancer as a Service does not function in a Calico network. Any attempt to
create one will fail.
Note: It is possible that in a future version of Calico LBaaS may be functional. Watch this space.
