The document discusses using Chef and infrastructure as code to automate cloud infrastructure. It describes how Chef allows defining infrastructure through code using nodes, roles, recipes, and attributes. Nodes can be provisioned and configured automatically using Chef recipes, which declare resources and are installed through Chef clients running on the nodes. Roles define recipes to apply to nodes. Cloud infrastructure like load balancers and web servers can be launched from templates and provisioned using Chef automation.
Fusion-io Memory Flash for Microsoft SQL Server 2012Mark Ginnebaugh
You've heard about Solid State Drives (SSDs), and might be using them now. To get dramatically improved IO performance, you need Flash Memory – storage that can be connected to your server’s Bus, and really maximize IO.
Fusion-io is an industry leader in this area, and Sumeet Bansal explains how to best employ this powerful technology. You'll learn:
* The many ways Flash can help your SQL Server performance, while at the same time lowering costs
* How you can use Flash optimally for your SQL Server deployment
* Easy, low risk ways to introduce ioMemory into SQL Server environments to instantly realize significant benefits.
* How to implement ioMemory optimally for the most pervasive configurations of SQL Server

Serelax™ is a 100% all natural product that effectively addresses the diverse and debilitating symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, and stress. Serelax™ is designed to address the symptoms of common mood disorders safely and naturally without the worries and side effects you may find with prescription medications.
All natural, nonprescription strength Serelax™ is thought to work on both serotonin and norepinephrine by correcting the imbalance of these two chemicals in the brain. Leaving you feeling calm, level headed and most importantly, happy!
Automating Oracle Database deployment with Amazon Web Services, fabric, and botomjbommar
Have credit card, need database? In this talk, I'll show you how to deploy your own Oracle 11gR2 sandbox with a single keystroke (and I don't mean RDS). Along the way, we'll learn about Infrastructure-as-a-Service with boto, provisioning tools like fabric, and Oracle response files. When we're done, we'll have a repeatable, ten-minute process that can deliver a server as cheap as $5/day or as powerful as 40k IOPS and 2.6GB/s throughput. More importantly, we'll understand what the big deal about IaaS and automated provisioning really is, and how enterprise products like Oracle can still fit comfortably in the space.

Flex For Java Architects Ledroff Breizh Jug V Blog CcFrançois Le Droff
I had the chance to present at the BreizhJUG (a Breton Java user group) a session named "Flex for Java Deveoppers".
A crowd of almost 100 happy Java developers and architects was willing to know more about Flex.
I had an an hour and half to cover :
*
a basic presentation of the flash and AIR platforms,
*
cool UX flash/flex/AIR demos
*
the latest great features of flash 10
*
and flex, and its ecosystem from a Java developer perspective (mvn framework, testing libraries, building and quality tools, blazeds, lcds)
I ended up the session presenting fna maven archetypes
Vagrant presentation at LA Ruby in September 2010.
The main takeaway for this presentation I wanted to give was the reasoning and importance for virtualization development environments.
Mythical Mysfits - Monolith to microservices with Docker and Fargate - MAD305...Amazon Web Services
Traditional monolithic architectures are hard to scale. As an application's code base grows, it becomes too complex to update and maintain. Introducing new features, languages, frameworks, and technologies becomes hard, limiting innovation and new ideas. Within a microservices architecture, each application component runs as its own service and communicates with other services through a well-defined API. Microservices are built around business capabilities, and each service performs a single function. In this workshop, we show you how to run a simple monolithic application in a Docker container, deploy the same application as microservices, and switch traffic to the microservices without downtime.
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.

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.
