Danny Quilton from Capacitas presented a paper, ‘Capacity Management and the Cloud’. The presentation made the case for capacity management of cloud-based services, highlighting the critical role of capacity management in controlling cloud cost. The presentation referenced a number of client engagement case studies to debunk some of the myths surrounding cloud:
Capacity can be turned up instantaneously
Capacity planning discipline is no longer required
Cloud capacity is cheap
Bottlenecks can be alleviated by expanding cloud capacity
Capacity management can be delegated to the cloud provider
Performance is guaranteed by the cloud provider

While service-based infrastructure can improve TCO and streamline IT management, it also presents some challenges that need to be met head-on. How do you ensure your data is secure in transit and available when you need it? How do you manage and communicate with your infrastructure? How do you enable service quality metrics and disaster recovery? And, how do you integrate data from legacy systems with data from web-based systems? Join AT&T and Informatica as they share their experience in building and managing cloud applications and infrastructure.

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.

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).
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.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

15. Public vs. Enterprise Cloud
– Is it a Fair Fight?
Comparison of very large service with mid-size: (~1000 servers):
Large Service [$13/Mb/s/mth]: $0.04/GB
Medium [$95/Mb/s/mth]: $0.30/GB (7.1x)
Large Service: $4.6/GB/year (2x in 2 Datacenters)
Medium: $26.00/GB/year* (5.7x)
Large Service: Over 1,000 servers/admin
Enterprise: ~140 servers/admin (7.1x)
• Large block h/w purchases significantly more economic
– Large weekly purchases offer significant savings
– H/W Mmanufacturers willing & able to do custom designs at scale
• Automation & custom s/w investments amortize well at scale
• Summary: scale economics strongly in play
