Enterprise Cloud Strategy: 7 Areas You Need to Re-ThinkRightScale
Companies from Fortune 1000 on down are going all-in on cloud, but your enterprise cloud strategy also needs to address the broad impact of cloud use in your company. Your strategy needs to cover implications for your technical processes, but also supporting areas including finance, governance, organization, and culture.
Infrastructure as Code Continuous Integration: A Delivery Pipeline Journey Se...Amazon Web Services
The aim of this presentation is to provide a technical overview of how we built a Continuous Delivery pipeline for one of our key clients. More broadly, we’ll discuss the path we took to get to our current state – including the successes, the surprises and the shifts along the way – because as is so often the case, it is the journey that yields the greatest insight rather than the destination.
Cloud Computing: Making the right choiceIndicThreads
Session Presented @IndicThreads Cloud Computing Conference, Pune, India ( http://u10.indicthreads.com )
------------
The concept of cloud computing is quickly scaling the chasm between hype and reality. Cloud Computing is rapidly becoming popular amongst enterprises that realize the benefits of shared infrastructure, lowered costs and minimal management overheads. But not all organizations and applications may benefit from a cloud computing platform. A legacy application ported in a native fashion to a cloud computing platform may not utilize any of the platform’s USPs at all. More importantly, wrong choice of platform can be disastrous. Deciding the optimal cloud vendor or platform for your requirements is a complex task.
Consider the plethora of choices available in the world of cloud computing:
* Public Cloud or Private Cloud or Hybrid Cloud
* Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS): Amazon AWS, Rackspace Cloud, GoGrid, Terremark,
* Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS): Google AppEngine, Microsoft Azure, Heroku
* Software-as-a-Service (SaaS): Salesforce, Netsuite, Google Apps, saas.com
* Should you use IaaS, PaaS or SaaS for your application?
* Which cloud database fits your application? SimpleDB, SQL, RDS, Hadoop?
We will discuss the various business and technology factors to consider, while choosing a cloud vendor. We will explore the pros and cons of various cloud vendors and their offerings. Lastly, we will also discuss some real-life use-cases of applications and servers being migrated to cloud computing and what factors led to selection of a particular cloud vendor.
Takeaways from the session
This talk would serve as an introduction to a wide variety of cloud computing platforms. The audience would be able to answer questions like: “What options are available for cloud computing?”, “What are their pros and cons?”, “Should I consider migrating my application or server to the cloud?”, “Should I use IaaS, PaaS or SaaS?”, “Which is the best cloud vendor for my use-case?”

RightScale Webinar: Operationalize Your Enterprise AWS Usage Through an IT Ve...RightScale
We’ve all seen the trend everywhere around us: customers want self-service. It offers them the agility they need and gives businesses the ability to scale and lower their costs. With cloud deployments, enterprises can experience similar benefits through the use of a self-service portal where internal customers can provision their own resources while Central IT maintains control and visibility. This saves both time and money.
In this webinar, learn how to empower your internal customers to provision the necessary cloud resources when they need them but also ensure that what get receive is well within IT approved guidelines. Beyond simple convenience, this methodology permits you to operationalize your AWS cloud usage to easily roll cloud into an overall IT strategy.
Architects from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and RightScale, an Advanced Technology Partner, will provide an overview of the key business and technical considerations for operationalizing your AWS cloud usage. In the second half of the webinar, our technical experts will answer your questions. Priority will be given to pre-submitted questions.
To help illustrate the effectiveness of this approach, our architects will walk you through real-world examples and the overall impact on their organizations.
Key Topics:
1. Create an IT Vending machine with consistent and reproducible processes.
2. Enable your end users while maintaining visibility and control.
3. Use cost planning and forecasting to fine-tune and understand cloud spend.
4. Discover reporting and auditing tools to ensure compliance.
5. Avoid downtime through proven HA/DR architectures.

It has always been a challenge to explain and convince top management including the Chief Financial Officers to embark into Cloud Computing. Predominantly because many still unclear or not so very sure what is cloud computing. Is it managed hosting, co-location or managed services? While technology providers and vendors continue to confuse management technology jargon, the need to embark into cloud computing seems inevitable...just like any others before such as the need to have emails, websites, online transactions, web based applications etc.
This presentation provides layman's, easy to understand meaning of cloud computing, why is it important for management,especially the CFO to seriously consider embarking into and some statistics and trend of how the world will move toward cloud.

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.

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.

2. What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is the practice of using a network of
remote virtualized servers hosted on the Internet to store,
manage and process data, rather than a local server or
personal computer.
National providers Amazon, Google and Microsoft Azure, as
well as local providers Expedient, Platform Lab, BlueMile,
Qwest and eCommerce all use cloud technologies in
different ways to meet the needs of their clients.
