Pranav Vashistha presented on cloud computing. He discussed basic concepts like traditional on-premise computing versus cloud computing. He covered first movers in cloud like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. Pranav defined cloud computing and explained its components including clients, data centers, distributed servers. He described the three main cloud service models - Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Pranav also covered types of cloud, benefits like scalability and cost savings, and applications like storage and databases.
Cloud computing :
Accessibility: Cloud computing facilitates the access of applications and data from any location worldwide and from any device with an internet connection.
Cost savings: Cloud computing offers businesses scalable computing resources hence saving them on the cost of acquiring and maintaining them.
Security: Cloud providers especially those offering private cloud services, have strived to implement the best security standards and procedures in order to protect client’s data saved in the cloud.
Disaster recovery: Cloud computing offers the most efficient means for small, medium, and even large enterprises to backup and restore their data and applications in a fast and reliable way.

Cloud architecture, conception and computing PPTNangVictorin
These platforms hide the complexity and details of the underlying infrastructure from users and applications by providing very simple graphical interface or API (Applications Programming Interface). Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
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).

5. Traditional Approach
Few years ago-
• The user used to back up their data on storage disks. With
few advancements in technology, smart & handy devices are
created to store data on the go.
• To set-up a business successfully, you needed to invest on
setting up devices, technical staff, software & licenses. As
your business grows you need additional investments not only
for keep your business running but also for persisting changes
in technology.
• You need upgrades, renewal of licenses, additional staff for
managing the excessive amount of data.

7. Definition
Cloud Computing can be defined as a technique which enables
the web hosting service providers to provide their customer an
efficient self-service approach.
It integrates various applications, platforms, infrastructures &
services which can be shared by several people or businesses at
the same time.
It is a blend of communication networks, business applications
& IT resources which is basically implemented to cut off costs
,optimization & synchronization of various resources.

• Mobile- Mobile devices like PDAs, Smart-Phones.
• Thin- Devices not having internal hard drives.
• Thick- Regular computer accessing through web browsers.
2. Datacenter
• It is the collection of servers where the application we subscribe are
housed.
3. Distributed Servers
• Servers are placed at different geographical locations to ensure that
in case of a failure, the service can be accessed from some other site.
Grid Computing is often confused with Cloud Computing, but they
are quite different. In grid computing, a large project is divided
among multiple computers to make use of their resources. Cloud
computing just does opposite. It allows multiple smaller applications
to run at the same time.

10. Cloud’s Service Models [1]
The services of a cloud includes the following traits:-
• Multitenancy
• Device Independency
• Large Scalability
• Low barriers to entry.
It includes the following three models of services:-
1. Software as a Service (SaaS)
2. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
3. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

11. Software as a Service (SaaS)
Cloud Computing

In this model an application is hosted as a service to customer
who access it via the Internet. The idea is that you use the
software out of the box as is & do not need to make a lot of
changes or require integration to others systems, The provider
does all the patching & upgrades as well as keeping the
infrastructure running.

Platform as a Service (PaaS)
PaaS supplies all the resources required to build applications &
services completely from the internet, without having to download
or install software. It is also known as “Cloudware”. PaaS services
include:-
• Application Design
• Development
• Testing
• Deployment
• Hosting
• Database Integration
• Security
• Versioning
13. 13
Cloud Computing
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
It offers the hardware so that your organization can put whatever
they want onto it. Rather than purchase servers, software, racks,
& having to pay for the datacenter space for them, the service
provider rents those resources.
IaaS allows you to “rent” such resources as:-
• Server Space
• Network equipment
• Memory
• CPU cycles
• Storage space

Cloud Computing
Types of Cloud
The cloud computing services can be public or private. A public
cloud sells services to anyone on the internet. A private cloud is
a proprietary network. It is also a data center that provides
hosted services to a limited number of people. When public
cloud resources are used by a service provider to create their
private cloud, the result is called a virtual private cloud.
Private or public, the goal of cloud computing is to provide
easy admittance to computing resources and IT services.
Services can be anything from Web-based email to inventory
control, and database processing. Because the service provider
controls both the applications and the data, the user can use the
service from anywhere freely.
