1) Renewable energy, particularly hydro power, presents significant opportunities for investment and growth in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam as these countries aim to increase renewable energy capacity and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
2) The agriculture industry, especially rice production, is a major industry in the CLMV countries given their ability to be key rice exporters; however, machinery usage remains limited and harvesting is still heavily dependent on manual labor.
3) Governments in CLMV are introducing policies and incentives to attract more foreign investment in priority industries like renewable energy and agribusiness to support economic development goals.

An Overview of the Electricity Industry in MyanmarVikas Sharma
This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive current-state assessment of Myanmar’s electricity sector, and goes on to offer some policy recommendations to tackle the key issues at hand.
As Myanmar embarks upon reversing the damage and realizing its potential, availability of electricity is crucial in all spheres – economic, health-related and educational. However, nowhere is the immensity of the task at hand more apparent than in the electricity sector. Less than 30% of households are connected to the electric-grid. Per capita consumption of power is lowest in ASEAN. There is over-reliance on hydropower and erratic demand-side management, especially in summer months. Current supply is almost 30% below demand, manifested in sweeping load-shedding. Planning is centralized, haphazard and seemingly untouched by market dynamics. Power plants have numerous breakdowns and abysmal efficiency. Transmission and distribution networks are antiquated and omit large expanses. Highly-subsidized electricity tariffs and resulting fiscal deficits have crippled public investment in infrastructure. Skepticism over political stability, heavy-handed government terms, and deficient financing ecosystem discourage private entrants.

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:

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

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.
