[Srijan Wednesday Webinars] How to Build a Cloud Native Platform for Enterpri...Srijan Technologies
Drupal has been a consistent leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management. However, enterprises leveraging Drupal have traditionally relied on PaaS providers for their hosting, scaling and lifecycle management. And that usually leads to enterprise applications being locked-in with a particular cloud or vendor.
As container and container orchestration technologies disrupt the cloud and platform landscape, there’s a clear way to avoid this state of affairs. In this webinar, we discuss why it's important to build a cloud-native Drupal platform, and exactly how to do that.
Join the webinar to understand how you can avoid vendor lock-in, and create a secure platform to manage, operate and scale your Drupal applications in a multi-cloud portable manner.
Key Takeaways:
- Why you need a cloud-native Drupal platform and how to build one
- How to craft an idiomatic development workflow
- Understanding infrastructure and cloud engineering - under the hood
- Demystifying the art and science of Docker and Kubernetes: deep dive into scaling the LAMP stack
- Exploring cost optimization and cloud governance

A Tight Ship: How Containers and SDS Optimize the EnterpriseEric Kavanagh
The Briefing Room with Dez Blanchfield and Red Hat
Think of containers as the drones of modern computing. They're small, agile, and can carry a significant payload. In many ways, they represent the fruition of the last two major paradigm shifts in enterprise software: SOA and virtualization. However, for companies to fully leverage this innovative approach, a persistent storage platform is needed that is as flexible and scalable as containers themselves.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear Bloor Group Data Scientist Dez Blanchfield, who will explain the significance of container technology, and the relevance of software-defined storage (SDS) in a constantly evolving IT world. He'll be briefed by Steve Watt and Sayan Saha of Red Hat, who will demonstrate how open-source technology can help organizations take advantage of this brave new world of enterprise computing. They will explain how containers are the next step in the evolution of the operating system, and why SDS is now the optimal solution.

In cloud computing environments, VMs require fast access to resources like storage and networking. The hardware that the VMs access is implemented in software and/or by passing through a dedicated hardware device. Software-based solutions consume extra CPU cycles, thus resulting in poor performance. Also, these require to expose a device-model to the guest, thus increasing the attack surface. Conversely, hardware passthrough provides better performance and security but can be expensive in terms of the number of physical resources, since each device is dedicated to a single VM. This talk focuses on how Vates is working on sharing hardware resources among VMs by relying on dedicated processors named Data Processing Units (DPU). More precisely, Vates work on offloading Xen hypervisor of storage emulation by relying on Kalray K200 DPU PCIe controllers, a hardware accelerator based on MPPA architecture.

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).

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.
