Techorama 2019 - How to run a global, cloud scale event for 10000 peopleRobBos10
We want to tell you a story, a story about an event that spanned 35 countries, reached 10.000 participants, involved 1.400 websites and databases, raised 8 disruptions on those websites and even caused Azure DevOps outages. In which we reached the limits of the cloud and still were able to spend only half of the budget. We will tell you how not only organize an event on this scale, but also how to automate it; from pipelines to deploy the Azure infrastructure, to the actual event day automation. What did we run into, what did we use and what have we learned.

CloudOpen Japan - Controlling the cost of your first cloudTim Mackey
As presented at CloudOpen Japan in Tokyo in 2015.
Today everyone is talking about clouds, and some are building them, but far fewer are operating successful clouds. In this session we'll examine a variety of paradigm shifts must IT make when moving from a traditional virtualization and management mindset to operating a successful cloud. For most organizations, without careful planning the hype of a cloud solution can quickly overcome its capabilities and existing best practices can combine to create the worst possible cloud scenario -- a cloud which isn't economical to operate, and which is more cumbersome to manage than a traditional virtualization farm. Key topics covered will include; transitioning the operational paradigm, the impact of VM density on operations and network management, and preventing storage cost from outpacing requirements.
We moeten het begrip innovatie terug renoveren. Innovatie is niets meer of minder dan de som van creativiteit plus ondernemerschap. Die creativiteit kan vanuit de wetenschappelijke of technologische hoek komen, maar even goed uit een business idee of maatschappelijke hoek alsook uit de creativiteit die ingebakken zit in de creatieve sectoren.
We hebben dan ook renaissance mensen nodig die op elk van die drie domeinen kunnen meespelen of toch minstens meepraten: technologie - business - creativiteit

Think different visualization tools for testers StarEast 2013 pascaldufourPascal Dufour
Traditional processes have required testers to create a large amount of documentation in the form of test plans, test cases, and test reports. It’s time to think differently. Creating test artifacts in the “old school” textual style takes too much time away from actual testing. Besides, text is boring and uses only the left side of your brain. Visual images—charts, graphs, and diagrams—engage your right brain for more thinking power. The old saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” is really true! Pascal Dufour shows how you can employ visualizations—mind maps, drawings, dashboards, charts, and other graphics—to improve clarity and guide your team to create lightweight testware artifacts. Find out how visualization helps you more easily and more quickly understand information—enabling and improving team decision making, collaboration, and agility.

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.

10. SMALL BUSINESSES
• No more room in the closet!
• Lease is up – what do we do now?
• SharePoint 2013 needs HOW MUCH
RAM???
• External Collaboration
• Licensing headaches
LARGE BUSINESSES
• Didn’t budget for dev, test, stage, DR farms
• Lots of hardware sitting under-utilized
• IT department is an obstacle
• IT budgets getting slashed
• Licensing headaches
11. WINDOWS AZURE
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
• Host VMs on someone else’s hardware.
• Pay by the minute, shut them down
when not in use.
• Use pre-made images, or upload your
own VHDs.
• License costs are rolled into the pre-
made images.
12. SOME GOOD CANDIDATES
• ADFS
• IRM / ADRMS
• On-Prem SharePoint
• Source Control Systems (TFS, SVN)
• LOB App Servers that don’t need to be
on the LAN
NOT SO GOOD CANDIDATES
• Lync Server
• Exchange Server
• Servers that need to be on the LAN
13. • Site2Site IPSEC Persistent VPN Tunnel Between On-Prem and Azure
• Can define the address space in Azure (prevent conflicts with on-prem)
• A virtual extension of an office network
14. • Microsoft is adding new devices all the
time as they test them
• Anything that supports modern IPSEC
may work
• Have an open-source firewall like
pfSense, Racoon, FreeBSD? Try it!
• Just announced partnership with AT&T
will provide other VPN opportunities
over private MPLS networks
Vendor Device Family

15. • Create an Azure Virtual Network
• Setup Azure subnets and IP Addressing
• Setup the VPN
• Configure connection to local network
• Establish the gateway
• Test the connection
• Install R/W Domain Controllers + DNS
• Join to the corporate domain
• Replicate / test replication
• Setup AD Replication Site for Azure
Subnets
• Install Member Servers
• ADFS / ADRMS / SharePoint Etc.
• Join to the Domain
• Ensure IaaS DNS servers are used for name
resolution
• GOAL – Reduce traffic over the VPN
• Ideally only replication traffic
• Test! Test! Test!
• Take the VPN Down. Can users still use
your applications?
16. • Use Availability Sets
• Use SQL Availability Groups
• Configure ProbePorts for EndPoints
• Don’t depend on the VPN connection, it can go down!
• Use Read/Write Domain Controllers
17. • Not a good idea in general
• Lots of things are broken with an RODC:
• Can’t run the configuration wizard
• Can’t create new site collections
• People Picker won’t resolve new users
• User Profile property export
• Problems w/ Managed Service Accounts with automatic password expiration
• Incoming mail services
19. • On-prem footprints present challenges for small and large businesses
• Azure IaaS can reduce on-prem footprints
• Key is the Azure Virtual Private Network
• Plan for resiliency
• Great for labs or real workloads like SharePoint
