Presentation outlining the perspective of F5 Networks on an evolutionary path to Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) for telecom operators. Presentation at Carrier Network Virtualization event in Palo Alto, CA in December 2013.
Using Docker container technology with F5 Networks products and servicesF5 Networks
The evolving needs of IT and the advent of agile development and deployment strategies has led to the emergence of “containerization,” an alternative to full machine virtualization in which an application is encapsulated in a container with its own operating environment. Containerization is an attractive solution that enables developers to iterate faster. It also offers additional benefits that address the overhead associated with virtual machines, allowing for higher utilization of resources in the software-defined data center (SDDC).
Although containerization isn’t a new concept, Docker, developed by Docker, Inc., has been widely cited as the implementation of choice due to its broad industry support, standardization, and comprehensive breadth of capability. In the company’s words, Docker is “an open platform for building, shipping, and running distributed applications. It gives programmers, development teams and operations engineers the common toolbox they need to take advantage of the distributed and networked nature of modern applications.” As such, Docker simplifies application lifecycle management from development to deployment and enables application portability. This simplification is critical for enterprises, considering that there are multiple hosting options for an application, either in the public cloud or private cloud infrastructure.
This paper outlines F5’s direction on using containers within F5 technology and for supporting Docker for application delivery and security. Before we discuss this strategy, it is important to recognize data center pain points and why these technologies are critical for the next generation enterprise application delivery.

A Bluemix offering built on open-source Docker technology.
Containers technology originated over 20 years ago with web-hosting vendors seeking to optimize the density of websites residing on each server in a datacenter. IBM, Sun, Google made key contributions to those early iterations. More recently, by isolating an application and its dependencies inside a container, Rocket and Cloud Foundry have evolved standards for working with containers within cloud infrastructure. And Dockerhas eliminated the issues that previously resulted in a containerized application working in one environment but not another.
In the context the IBM partnership with Docker, this document provides an overview of IBM Containers as an enterprise-ready solution for using Docker containers.

App to Cloud: Patrick Kerpan's DataCenter Dynamics Converged Keynote
About the talk:
Customers don’t care where their cloud networks and infrastructure are, they just want apps to work. This session explains how overlay networks can help to do more networking at the IaaS level and how developers can build on top of overlay networking to extend traditional networks to the cloud.
A conflict emerges when people/consumers/employees are accumulating devices (avg. person carries 3) and want to use those for work while organizations are in the process of consolidating infrastructure and the amount of devices they need to manage. Providing employees with anywhere, anytime access is the top reason for VDI interest. Other important areas include the ability to centrally manage desktops to boost efficiency, reduce the cost in upgrading or purchasing desktop computers, the ability to automate and have a robust disaster recovery plan, providing enhanced control over data security along with no limitation on end point devices.
Mastering Application Integration Challenges in Hybrid Cloud EnvironmentsSam Garforth
These are the slides from the Nastel Red Hat webinar of April 7th 2021. The abstract is:
Many enterprises are adopting OpenShift in their journey to building and running containerized workloads in on-premise, cloud-based or hybrid environments. These initiatives leverage multiple application integration technologies, such as IBM MQ, Apache Kafka or Tibco EMS.
But managing application integration in hybrid cloud environments introduces multiple challenges:
- Need a single point of control for multiple middleware
- Need to grant self-service and delegated authority to development teams
- Need to enable developers to test application message flows
- Need to address middleware upgrades & migrations
In this webinar, we’ll show you how Nastel Navigator can be used in the OpenShift environment to address these challenges:
- Automated discovery of middleware estate
- Simplified configuration management
- Full audit trail of changes (who, what, where, when)
- Secure, granular delegation of specific authorities to development and operations teams
- Full web-based command & control

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
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.
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.

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.

The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
