"One of the foundational pillars of smart cities is data. Data is both, an enabler and force multiplier and it fuels the smart city, like gasoline to an engine. Data is also a precious resource for cities; valuable in countless ways. Why is data so important? Two reasons: 1) Faster pattern recognition; and 2) Smarter resource allocation. Distilling those down even further, let’s call it: Awareness + Action. All cities collect and use data, but the push toward smart cities is to utilize data in ways that help cities become not only increasingly more informed (Awareness), but increasingly more responsive (Action). Every city will eventually become a smart city in the same manner that nearly every phone has become a smart phone. It’s not that we had “dumb phones” before, or “dumb cities” for that matter. Rather, the “smart” moniker denotes the ability of the device or in this case a city/community to utilize cross-domain information to deliver a richer, more robust experience."

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.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
