Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
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.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Complements not Substitutes
CSI: AGCommons:
A community of practice, An investment
primarily serving the geospatial program for expanding and accelerating
interests of the CGIAR and its the development & use of geospatial
partners technologies for ag. development in SSA
• SSA
• Asia, LAC, MENA

• New
use/impacts technologies
• Policies • Value chains & market and & partners :
esp. private
service access and delivery
• District, national, sector
• Technologies & institutions
regional, global
• “Last 10 km”
9. CSI Issues
New CSI is not the old CSI, but how best do we evolve;
– Scientific exchange vs Strategic role of geospatial “sector” in
agricultural development?
– “Data & tools” vs “Products & Services”
– Outreach strategy, mechanisms and commitment
– Clarity on our constituency (CSI membership?)
– Inward (internal constituency) vs Outward (user/ funder
dialogue)
– Developing agility to respond to changing environment and
opportunities
– Governance (transparency, consultation, equity)
– Maintaining relevance of priority and collective agenda
10. Issues -> Working Groups
1. Delivery Platforms for Partners (Chris Legg)
2. Revitalizing Outreach & Engagement (Peter Okoth)
3. Core data & tool priorities (Andy Jarvis)
4. Atlas Products (Kai/Meshak?)
5. Plug & P(l)ay Geospatial Services for CG MPs
(Glenn?)
6. Enhancing the Contribution of the Geospatial “Sector”
(Stan)
11. 1. Delivery Platforms for Partners
Issue: CGIAR geospatial scientist have good access to powerful GIS software
(often at concessionary rates). Very often our partners do not have this
luxury. How do we deliver spatial data and analytical tools to in ways that
make them accessible and usable at very low|no cost (and in ways that do
not rely on internet access)?
Possible questions to be addressed:
1. What are the options at our disposal?:
– Opened up proprietary source code; e.g., Diva, ILWIS,
– “True” open source design communities; e.g., UDIG?
– Proprietary; e.g. ARC Explorer/Reader
2. How to develop capacity in using such tools?
3. Should CSI develop guidelines or adopt/recommend “best” tools and
practices?
4. What needs and actions could we express to AGCommons to help address
this issue?
12. 2. Revitalizing Outreach & Engagement
Issue: CSI can point to great success in terms of relevance and
influence of its work. But more and needs to be done to reach out
and engage with our partners and clients. And needs to be done
urgently. How do we set about this? What are the next steps?
Possible questions to be addressed:
1. Are we clear on who our stakeholders are, and if not, what
should we do to bring greater clarity?
2. What are our options in terms of conveying often complex
information about the availability and utility of geodspatial data
and technologies?
3. Might different strategies be employed for different users?
4. What are “geospatial” entry points for improved engagement
with CAADP, AGRA, Regional agencies (e.g. ASARECA, ECOWAS),
and national programs?
5. What is our action plan for resuscitating the CSI website?
13. 3. Core Data & Tool Priorities
Issue: CSI members periodically assess core data and tool needs in terms of
highest utility to all members. At the outset of this meeting it is useful to take
stock of latest views on these priorities, especially in the light of developments
over the past year.
Questions:
1. Are we still lacking good spatial data on land cover, roads, climate, soil, price,
poverty, etc? Latest status on each of these.
2. Globcover is very disappointing for assessing cropland. What can the
CGIAR/CSI and UN community do to help resolve such woeful outcomes in
short-term and long-term, e.g., ground truthing partnerships, advocacy
3. What cool data and tools have been developed/released over the past year
that change the landscape with regard to future priorities and next steps?
4. What is the current consensus and core data/tool priorities (e.g. spatial
downscaling climate time series, spatial price modeling, crop specific land
cover monitoring?
14. 4. Atlas Products
Issue: The AGCommons QuickWin process threw up a number of proposals around the
notion of an “African Agricultural Development Atlas”. These ideas might be worth
resolving and building upon. But clarity on the scope and purpose of these products is
required. Can we provide a framework to promote national-scale activities nested in
(sub-)regional products.
Questions:
1 Is this a value-adding activity or something to do with data when you don’t know what
to do with data?
2. Purposes? Awareness, advocacy, education, planning, techincal? (and illustration of CSI
capacity to respond)
3. Printed version (e.g. for schools), versus CD, versus on-line pdf, vs on-line GIS data?
4. Commercial prospects for sale? IP issues? Refresh frequency/policy? Download GIS
files?
4. Hierarchical, to allow clustering of and space for national efforts as well as sub-regional
products (nested scales and issues)?
15. 5. CG MP Geospatial “Plug & P(l)ay” Services
Issue: The scope and range of CGIAR Megaprojects is unknown, except
there will not be a Geospatial MP. But we should be taking action now
to identify what specific goods and services the CGIAR geospatial
community can package up ready to market as service modules to
any/all MPs.
Possible questions to be addressed:
1. What are the specific services the geospatial community can provide
that are of potential relevance to MPs (define)?
2. What do we need to do to start the process of describing, marketing
and ensuring we can deliver such services?
3. Can we line up CSI members against specific services?
4. Do we help develop generic materials that individual CSI members can
use to market their own services?
16. 6. Enhancing the Contribution of the
Geospatial Sector to Ag. Development
Issue: CSI has focused on scientist-to-scientist data and knowledge exchange. For
a range of strategic and professional reasons we could be doing more as
advocates and activists in enhancing the the contribution of the Geospatial
Sector (research, development, application, support, outreach, capacity
building) to accelerating hunger and poverty reduction.
Possible questions to be addressed:
1. What could be done more or differently to promote this meta-objective?
2. Could we use CSI work to help develop an outreach/advocacy platform?
3. What fora & decision making entities would we most target
4. Should we foster partnerships (e.g. with professional societies) and
encourage events and publications around this theme?
5. Try to develop programs for internships around this topic?
17. Expected Outputs - General
•4-5 Potential AGCommons Phase II Project Concept Outlines
•Established process for follow-up and engagement between CSI
members and AGCommons implementation teams for further
development of these proposals
•Action Plan for the CSI Coordinator* and members for the 2009-
2010 period
•An updated, focused and enthused CSI membership
18. Expected Outputs - Specific
• CSI Website Resuscitation Team Action Plan
• Move from Coordinator to Coordination Team responsibility for
the CSI Action Plan
• Process for agility & transparency in responding to emerging
opportunities and changing environements in ways that best
engage CSI members
• Initial thinking on future meetings
• “African Agriculture Geospatial Week” West Africa 2010
• Biennial ex-SSA CSI Thematic meeting (e.g. Improving Input
Use Efficiency, hosted in Asia)
19. 1. CSI Website
Issue: The CSI website is a great success for access to SRTM and CRU data,
but otherwise not active in terms of content and development. It sends
a strong signal of a defunct community. Action is needed in 2009.
Questions:
1. What re-design is required to take account of improved technologies
(e.g., Drupl/Solr) or functionality (e.g., blog, wiki, RSS, updated links)?
2. What process (& incentives) to manage & maintain content?
3. Who is willing to contribute what to the Website Resuscitation effort?
4. What next concrete steps need to be taken? And by whom?
Suggestion: Do not deal with the hosting/access issue explicitly, on the
assumption this might be a topic for AGCommons (Thursday)

6. New CG: Plug & P(l)ay Geospatial Services for MegaProjects
(Glenn?)
23. 4. Membership & Governance
Issues: The CSI environment is changing rapidly; growing,
becoming more complex and more dynamic. The CSI likely
needs to evolve to survive and thrive.
Questions:
1. Need for a different core membership rationale; strictly
CGIAR?, CGIAR+ICIMOD? (+ AVRDC?, +ICIPE? etc)
2. Need for coordination team? (Coordinator, + say 2 other
centre reps, +CGIAR/CIO?). (e.g. planning annual
meeting, fund raising, tracking CG change)
3. Need for improved level and transparency of information
flow between CSI Coordinator and CSI members?
