Detecting Malicious Cloud Account Behavior: A Look at the New Native Platform...Priyanka Aash
Until recently, major public cloud providers have offered relatively basic toolsets for identifying suspicious activity occurring inside customer accounts that may indicate a compromise. Some organizations have invested significant resources to build their own tools or have leveraged industry vendor offerings to provide this visibility. The reality is, that barrier has meant that a large number of organizations haven't dedicated those resources to this problem and therefore operate without sufficient detection and response capabilities that monitor their cloud accounts for compromise.
Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure have recently launched a new set of native platform threat and anomalous behavior detection services to help their customers better identify and respond to certain issues and activities occurring inside their cloud accounts. From detecting crypto-currency mining to identifying bot-infected systems to alerting on suspicious cloud credential usage to triggering on cloud-specific methods of data exfiltration, these new services aim to make these kinds of detections much easier and simpler to centrally manage.
But what new and unique insights do they offer? What configuration is required to achieve the full benefits of these detections? What types of activities are not yet covered? What attack methods and techniques can avoid detection by these systems and still be successful? What practical guidelines can be followed to make the best use of these services in an organization?
Follow along as we attempt to answer these questions using practical demonstrations that highlight the real threats facing cloud account owners and how the new threat detection capabilities perform in reducing the risks of operating workloads in the public cloud.
App modernization projects are hard. Enterprises are looking to cloud-native platforms like Pivotal Cloud Foundry to run their applications, but they’re worried about the risks inherent to any replatforming effort.
Fortunately, several repeatable patterns of successful incremental migration have emerged.
In this webcast, Google Cloud’s Prithpal Bhogill and Pivotal’s Shaun Anderson will discuss best practices for app modernization and securely and seamlessly routing traffic between legacy stacks and Pivotal Cloud Foundry.

To Scale Test Automation for DevOps, Avoid These Anti-PatternsDevOps.com
We know that most organizations today are integrating at least some test automation into their CI/CD pipelines. Most start with unit testing – which, while a great place to start, can't give you the level of confidence you need to safely deploy into production.
In this webinar, we'll talk about what other types of testing you should be integrating into the CI/CD pipeline to make test automation more valuable – as well as how to develop an integrated approach using Agile test management. We'll also share best practices for avoiding some of the most common anti-patterns we've identified that make it difficult to scale beyond the unit level. You will learn:
How to get more value out of test automation and minimize the number of defects identified late in the delivery cycle
How to avoid common anti-patterns related to collaboration, test data management, testing in the cloud and more
Best practices for scaling and managing test automation across a diverse toolset using Agile test management
Test Automation: Investment Today Pays Back TomorrowTechWell
The results of a recent survey, authored by IBM and TechWell, showed that testers want to spend more time automating, more time planning, and more time designing tests—and less time setting up test environments and creating test data. So, where should testers and their organizations invest their time and money to achieve the desired results? What is the right level of technical ability for today’s testers to be successful? As this ongoing debate continues, the simple answer remains: It depends. Join Al Wagner as he explores the many opportunities in the world of testing and test automation. Consider the many approaches for building your automated testing skills and the solutions you create, weighing the pros and cons of each. Explore the options for test and dev organizations to consider to speed up releases and deliver more value to their companies. Leave with the ability to determine which approaches make sense for you and your employer.

Find out what testing works for your mobile app.
Agile Software Development means we want to maximise progress while minimising waste. Delays cause waste, for instance wasted time and efforts; ineffective work causes waste; poor quality causes waste; and bugs cause waste and delay progress, etc.
Mobile apps and the mobile app ecosystem help determine what sorts of testing will be more valuable for the project. This workshop introduces various key concepts and factors related to testing mobile apps effectively. You will have the opportunity to practice testing mobile apps during the workshop to help reinforce your learning and discovery.
We will cover both interactive and automated testing of mobile apps, and find ways to reduce the Time To Useful Feedback (TTUF) so the project team can make more progress while reducing project waste. We will also cover various ways to gather more and better information about the qualities of our mobile codebase and of the quality of the apps-in-use.

Velocity NY 2018 "The Cloud Native Developer Workflow"Daniel Bryant
In a productive cloud-native development workflow, individual teams can build and ship software independently from each other. But with a rapidly evolving Cloud Native Landscape, creating an effective developer workflow on Kubernetes can be challenging. We are all creating software to support the delivery of value to our customers and to the business, and therefore, the developer experience from idea generation to running (and observing) in production must be fast, reliable, and provide good feedback.

DevRelCon 2022: "Is Product Led Growth (PLG) the “DevOps” of the DevRel World"Daniel Bryant
Over the last year, the Ambassador Labs team has doubled down on their adoption of Product Led Growth (PLG), a growth model where product usage drives customer acquisition, retention, and expansion. It’s been an interesting journey for the DevRel team, who have found themselves working more closely with both the sales and growth engineering teams.
In their quest to reduce the friction of product adoption, they’re thinking more and more about the end-to-end experiences, experimentation, instrumentation, data analysis, and handoffs — much like we saw in the software development world with the adoption of DevOps breaking down barriers between engineering and operations.
The Ambassador Labs team have learned more about the value of creating hypotheses and analyzing quantitative data, but have also been reminded that there is no substitute for qualitative data and engaging human-to-human. Join Daniel for a whistle-stop tour of PLG through the DevRel lens:
– Understand how moving to PLG can impact devrel teams and the work they do: for better and worse!
– Explore how DevRel tooling and community platforms are increasingly overlapping with PLG marketer tooling
– Learn how to structure your goals, common languages, and teams for successfully adopting PLG
Fall 22: "From Kubernetes to PaaS to... err, what's next"Daniel Bryant
Developers building applications on Kubernetes today are being asked to not just code applications -- they are also responsible for shipping and running their applications, too. We often talk about needing a Kubernetes platform, but are we really looking for a PaaS? Or instead, are we looking for some kind of developer control plane with a Goldilock-sized collection of tools that provides just the right amount of platform? This talk will look back on my experience of building platforms, both as an end-user and now as part of an organization helping our customers do the same. We’ll wrap this talk with a walk-through of the CNCF ecosystem through the developer control plane lens, and look at what’s next in the future of this important emerging category.

CloudBuilders 2022: "The Past, Present, and Future of Cloud Native API Gateways"Daniel Bryant
Many engineers are confused about how a cloud-native API gateway relates to Kubernetes Ingress or a Service load balancer. This talk will unravel this confusion.
An API gateway is at the core of how APIs are managed, secured and presented within any web-based system. Although the technology has been in use for many years, it has not always kept pace with recent developments within the cloud-native space.
Join Daniel Bryant in uncovering the evolution of API gateways over the past ten years and how the original problems they were solving have shifted in relation to cloud-native technologies and workflow.

DevXDay KubeCon NA 2021: "From Kubernetes to PaaS to Developer Control Planes"Daniel Bryant
Developers building applications on Kubernetes today are being asked to not just develop applications -- they are also responsible for releasing and running their applications, too. In this talk, we’ll discuss the secular shift towards what Netflix calls “Full Cycle Development” or what Google calls “Service Ownership”. With developers managing so much of the cloud-native development loop, a new class of infrastructure has emerged -- the developer control plane. We’ll explore the evolution from Kubernetes to PaaS, to the developer control planes in use today. We’ll draw on our personal experiences and podcast chats with the larger CNCF community, and discuss real-world examples of developer control planes used at New Relic, Spotify, InVision, and Twitter. We’ll wrap this talk with a walk through of the CNCF ecosystem through the developer control plane lens, and look at what’s next in the future of this important emerging category.

The technologies and architectures may change when we move to the cloud, but the fact remains that we all still add the occasional bug to our code. The challenge here is that many of your existing local debugging tools and practices can't be used when everything is running in a container or deployed onto Kubernetes running in the cloud. This is where the open source Telepresence tool can help.
Join me to learn about:
- The challenges with scaling Kubernetes-based Java development i.e. you can only run so many microservices locally before minikube melts your laptop
- An exploration of how Telepresence can "intercept" or reroute traffic from a specified service in a remote K8s cluster to your local dev machine
- The benefits of getting a "hot reload" fast feedback loop between applications being developed locally and apps running in the remote environment
- A tour of Telepresence, from the sidecar proxy deployed into the remote K8s cluster to the CLI
- An overview of using "preview URLs" and header-based routing for the sharing, collaboration, and isolation of changes you are making on your local copy of an intercepted service

GOTOpia 2/2021 "Cloud Native Development Without the Toil: An Overview of Pra...Daniel Bryant
At GOTO Amsterdam in 2019 I presented how to create an effective cloud native developer workflow. Two years later and many new developer technologies have come and gone, but I still hear daily from cloud developers about the pain and friction associated with building, debugging, and deploying to the cloud. In this talk I'll share my latest learning on how to bring the fun and productivity back into delivering Kubernetes-based software.
Join this talk to:
Learn why the core tenets of continuous delivery -- speed and safety -- must be considered in all parts of the cloud native SDLC
Explore how cloud native coding benefits from thinking separately about the inner development loop, continuous integration, continuous deployment, observability, and analysis
Understand how cloud native best practices and tooling fit together. Learn about artifact syncing (e.g. Skaffold), dev environment bridging (e.g. Telepresence), GitOps (e.g. Argo), and observability-focused monitoring (e.g. Prometheus, Jaeger)
Explore the importance of cultivating an effective cloud platform and associated team of experts
Walk away with an overview of tools that can help you develop and debug effectively when using Kubernetes
HashiCorp Webinar: "Getting started with Ambassador and Consul on Kubernetes ...Daniel Bryant
HashiCorp Consul integrates with Ambassador to securely route Ingress traffic to Consul Service Mesh when using Kubernetes. When onboarding applications onto a service mesh or when integrating with existing applications outside of the Mesh, a north south API gateway is typically required for communications with clients outside of the network. Ambassador is a Kubernetes API Gateway that allows you to route incoming traffic to your Consul Service Mesh proxies while also providing the ability to leverage advanced API Gateway functionalities such as rate limiting and authentication.

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.

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.

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.

10. Testing Challenges with Microservices
● Cannot share a single environment: testing locally
● Full ecosystem unsuitable for local testing
● Lack of control over third-party dependencies
15. Isolating Parts: No Isolation

16. Wise words from Steve Smith
1. “The idea that testing a whole system will simultaneously
test its constituent parts is a Decomposition Fallacy.”
1. “The idea that testing a whole system will be cheaper than
testing its constituent parts is a Cheap Investment Fallacy.

20. Test Doubles
Dummy objects: passed around but never actually used.
Fake objects: working implementations not suitable for production
Stubs: provide canned answers to calls made during the test
Spies: stubs that also record some information based on how they were called.
Mocks: objects pre-programmed with expectations which form a specification of the
calls they are expected to receive.
Virtualizations: emulation of services, with expectations (not suitable for production)

28. API Simulation Thoughts
● Useful when a dependency is “expensive” to mock
● Facilitates error handling tests when dependency failure
modes are challenging to recreate
● Simulations can be fragile and/or complicated
38. Consumer-Driven Contract Thoughts
● Useful in low-trust or low-communication organisations
○ Don’t use for blame: it’s a cue for a conversation
● Can be used to implement “TDD for the API”
● Resource intensive to create and maintain
46. Conclusion
● Testing microservices brings additional challenges
● Pay special attention to integration surfaces
● Isolate services for loosely coupled tests
● Include tests that resemble production
● Make security testing a priority
the whole is more than the sum of the parts, need to avoid silos
The quadrants hint at a number of challenges, which for microservices is even harder because… (and then bullet points)
Full ecosystem: too large, too diverse, too evolving
to avoid gaps:
expanding levels (concentric dotted lines, brittle, inefficient)
chained levels (overlapping dotted lines, requires more management)
All about trade-offsto avoid gaps:
expanding levels (concentric dotted lines, brittle, inefficient)
chained levels (overlapping dotted lines, requires more management)
the whole is more than the sum of the parts, need to avoid silos
no isolation, but closest to user experience. Necessary evil?
Checking implementation against requirements is not the same as checking intent against implementation, which means an end-to-end test will check the interactions between code pathways but not the behaviours within those pathways
Test execution time and non-determinism are directly proportional to System Under Test scope, which means an end-to-end test will be slow and prone to non-determinism
biggest fully-controlled test. Need to use test doubles for unowned components
Try to find better word for unowned
to avoid gaps:
expanding levels (concentric dotted lines, brittle, inefficient)
chained levels (overlapping dotted lines, requires more management)
