Catching The Long Tail With SaaS + Windows AzureRainer Stropek
I assembled this slide deck for a session for the Azure User Group in Brussels in Oct. 2012.
“Software as a Service” (SaaS) is a software distribution model that uses the Internet to deploy, maintain and run software solutions. Applications that are built to be used by thousands of customers have the need to be configurable and customizable to a high degree. This has a strong impact on the applications’ architectures. A single code base and a limited number of deployed instances have to serve a large number of customers (=tenants) although the users’ view on the system may be very different. In this session Rainer Stropek presents challenges that software architects are typically faced with when building such configurable multi-tenancy solutions. Based on this discussion Rainer will point out important consequences of multi-tenancy on operational costs and pricing models in SaaS solutions.
The cloud computing market is growing rapidly, and the latest Gartner Hype Cycle shows that the hype around it has recently transformed into reality. In fact, eighty percent of Fortune 1000 companies are adopting cloud-operating models.
Cloud has significant implications on many roles within an organization and on IT service management. These implications on service management are increasing the discussions around the application and relevance of ITIL in cloud environments.
Organizations and professionals are looking to:
Develop cloud competencies to adopt cloud computing
Understand how cloud computing impacts service management
Adapt the ITIL framework to fit a cloud environment
Have a look and examine whether this can be a successful marriage or if a prenuptial agreement is required!
Windows Azure platform AppFabric provides a Service Bus and Access Control to enable connectivity and security in cloud applications. The Service Bus allows secure and interoperable communication across networks and firewalls. Access Control simplifies authorization management across organizations and identity providers. These services solve challenges of connecting cloud, mobile, and on-premises applications at scale through standards-based technologies.
V2B provides virtualization services to help clients derive business value from virtualization and transition to cloud infrastructure. It focuses on enabling greater adoption, realigning processes to support agile IT, and redefining consumption models. Summarizing key client challenges and benefits, V2B aims to reduce costs and complexity while increasing agility, flexibility and operational efficiency for clients.
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.
Internap’s John Freimuth and Steve LeClair of VMware discuss different paths businesses take toward cloud adoption, how to evolve your own cloud strategy and key considerations for choosing a provider to meet your virtualization goals.

Hybrid Cloud A Journey to the Cloud by Peter HellemansNRB
A recent Avanade study highlighted that, although it is not yet clear how and under what conditions it will be effective and efficient, within 4 years more than half of the Belgian business applications and services will be deployed in a hybrid cloud environment.
The integration of the hybrid cloud within the IT infrastructure is a key success factor when defining a hybrid cloud approach that links to private and public clouds. An optimized integration can only be defined and implemented after determining the criteria to select the most suitable cloud. Those criteria include workloads, security, expected performance, data sovereignty, costs...
NRB Hybrid Cloud approach will demonstrate how this integration can be rapidly defined and implemented. We will explain why and how to choose your cloud approach and show you the benefits of implementing a hybrid cloud strategy.
This document discusses the concept of cloud computing and its implications for businesses. It begins with definitions of cloud computing and discusses various cloud service models (infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, software as a service) and deployment models (private cloud, public cloud, hybrid cloud). It then addresses how cloud computing provides opportunities for resellers to offer new services while some users still have concerns about security and reliability. The cloud market is growing rapidly but still makes up a small percentage of overall IT spending currently.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

28. How to correct any problems ?
Is Scrum is being done wrong
Is there an underlying problem that is just being exposed by
Scrum
Give the team time to execute a few sprints and learn from
them.
If the previous items provide no relief, adapt Scrum to
mitigate or resolve the problem.
If the problem still persists after adaptation, then perhaps
Scrum isn't well-suited for this application
