To adopt cloud computing in Enterprise, there are many things to consider and manage. This material is IBM POV on challenges in bringing cloud computing to organization
Curious about the cloud? We've got answers. Join HOSTING for an overview of cloud hosting and computing basics. From the history of the cloud to the projected future, we'll investigate the foundation of this $2.1 billion industry.
The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of Web Applications in the AWS Cloud - Jine...Amazon Web Services
Weighing the financial considerations of owning and operating a data center facility versus employing a cloud infrastructure requires detailed and careful analysis. In practice, it is not as simple as just measuring potential hardware expense alongside utility pricing for compute and storage resources. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is often the financial metric used to estimate and compare direct and indirect costs of a product or a service. Given the large differences between the two models, it is challenging to perform accurate apples-to-apples cost comparisons between on-premises data centers and cloud infrastructure that is offered as a service. In this presentation, we explain the economic benefits of deploying a web application in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud over deploying an equivalent web application hosted in an on-premises data center and highlight the 5 things to not forget while calculating TCO.

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.

Editor's Notes
IBM has migrated several fundamental IT workloads to cloud, and we have witnessed major efficiency improvements while capturing some impressive savings in capital and operations:
Analytics – Blue Insight
Situation:
Business intelligence applications were being built separately by individual business units, creating silos of information and massive duplication.
How Cloud Transformed:
By delivering analytics as a service, making the capability accessible to 300K+ users globally. Business units across IBM tap into our centralized analytics cloud, Blue Insight, for tools and business intelligence aggregated from hundreds of information warehouses. The business value of these analytic insights is estimated to be more than US$300 million for the top 20 projects alone, out of approximately 300 active projects. In addition, Blue Insight exploits latest technologies to process queries up to 100X faster.
Collaboration at IBM-scale
Situation:
Portfolio of siloed social and collaborative applications constrained collaboration. IBM needed the ability to integrate more than 425,000 employees spread across 170 countries, 40% of whom work remotely.
How Cloud Transformed:
Our IBM Connections social networking platform in the cloud has dramatically increased workplace collaboration, productivity and innovation, helping employees identify and build networks of experts. Cloud has enabled 2.1M connections among employees, 127K communities, and currently supports over 50 million web conferencing minutes per month.
Develop and Test Cloud
Situation:
Testing backlog caused by provisioning challenges had become the single biggest factor delaying IBM’s new application deployments.
How Cloud Transformed:
Our development and test cloud has virtually eliminated IBM’s testing backlog, speeding new development and enabling applications to launch much sooner. Development teams have seen server provisioning and configuration drop from 5 days or longer to as little as 1 hour.
Storage Cloud
Our storage cloud cut the cost-per-byte of data stored by nearly 50 percent at each of the IBM facilities in which it was implemented. This has allowed these facilities to accommodate the explosive growth in storage demand—25 percent or more annually—without increasing their total storage budget, and they are expected to be able to do so for four straight years.

IBM believes that for most organizations, particularly those that have substantial investments in IT, the right approach is not private cloud or public cloud.
In some cases [give private cloud example] the combination of private cloud and traditional IT is the right answer for organizations.
Others [give public cloud example] benefit greatly from the quick execution and ROI from a public cloud.
The future will be dynamic hybrid because it leverages the best of both worlds and allows for better outcomes.
For companies with large IT investments, Hybrid allows you to Maximize return on existing IT investments by transforming IT into self-service private clouds
Hybrid allows you to keep some workloads on best fit infrastructure, and move others to public cloud for better economics
Hybrid lets you keep critical, sensitive data in house, while innovating on public so you have the right balance of risk to speed e.g. connect ERP to public CRM to enhance client experience.
Hybrid will lets you extend your current IT and private clouds with public capabilities to meet seasonal capacity requirements (e.g. holiday shopping), without the need for additional CapEx
Hybrid allows you to set up development environments quickly for innovation and add new capabilities like analytics or mobile software as a service on public quickly, to compose more competitive business services and processes.

It can help surface valuable insights from their data and transform how they make decisions. It enables them to tap expertise from across their entire ecosystem. What’s their secret? It’s cloud computing – their engine for growth.
The study also shows that cloud is far from being just an IT obsession -- business leaders are becoming increasingly focused on the business value cloud provides, and their strategic interest in cloud is poised to surpass that of IT.
What can we learn from the Pacesetters at the forefront of this movement – the organizations that told us they’re gaining competitive advantage through cloud?
We studied what they’re actually doing with cloud -- and we found that Pacesetters are building competitive advantage in three primary ways – through strategic reinvention, better decisions and deeper collaboration.
And, in each of these area, they’re deriving business results from their use of cloud. Let’s look at these key data points.
Pacesetters are 136% more likely to use cloud to reinvent customer relationships.
They’re 170% more likely to use analytics extensively via the cloud to derive insights for their organizations,
117% are more likely to use cloud to enable data-driven decisions, and
They’re 79% more likely to use the cloud to find experts anywhere in their ecosystem - inside or outside their organization - and leverage their expertise, and last but not least,
74% are more likely to use cloud to improve integration between IT development and operations.
