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.

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.

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!

4. Tricare chooses Metlife not United Concordia for dental coverage
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) upheld a decision to award a $3.1 billion Tricare dental
plan contract to a different insurer, its first change in 15 years. Tricare Management Activity agency at the
U.S. Department of Defense decided to give New York, N.Y.-based Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. a $3.1
billion dental plan contract rather than United Concordia Cos., based in Harrisburg, Pa. Tricare managers de-
cided that the MetLife provider network suited the military insurance program better than United Concordia’s
network, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reported. United Concordia, a division of Pittsburgh, Pa.-based High-
mark, was the Tricare dental program provider for 15 years.
Effective May 1, 2012, MetLife will become the dental carrier for the TDP. MetLife will begin providing den-
tal coverage to over 2 million family members of uniformed service active duty personnel, members of the
Selected Reserve and Individual Ready Reserve, their eligible family members, and Survivors.
Beneficiaries will have access to MetLife's network with over 161,000 dentist access points, and this number
continues to grow. Additional information about the contract is available at www.tricare.mil/TDPcontract and
benefit updates are available at www.tricare.mil.
PLEASE NOTE that the change to MetLife is for the TDP program only. The Active Duty Dental Program
will still be administered by United Concordia®. Changes to the TDP will include enhanced dental coverage
at a lower premium share than before. MetLife will distribute program information, provider network details
beginning in first quarter 2012. Highlights to the benefits and enhancements are listed below:
· Coverage of posterior resin (tooth colored/white) fillings
· Increase in the annual maximum to $1,300 per enrollee (formerly this was $1,200
· Increase in the lifetime orthodontic maximum to $1,750
· $1,200 per year for services related to dental treatment due to an accident as de-
fined in the TDP handbook
· No cost shares for scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) for diabetics
· Coverage of an additional (3rd) cleaning for women during pregnancy
· Expansion of the survivor benefits to surviving spouse and child(ren)
If you would like to check if your dentist is already part of the MetLife network,
please click Find a Dentist on the right and search for a DPPO provider. If the den-
tist is not a member, dentists can easily request an application on our website for
dentists, http://www.metdental.com/.
Effective May 1, 2012
MetLife will become the dental carrier for the Tricare Dental Plan.
MetLife and United Concordia, the current TDP contractor, are working together to complete the contract
transition activities for MetLife’s start on May 1, 2012. TDP claims with a date of service prior to May 1,
2012 will continue to be processed by United Concordia until April 30, 2013. All TDP claims with a date of
service on or after May 1, 2012 will be submitted to MetLife. Please make note of these important dates to
ensure timely processing of your TDP claims. The new TDP contract that MetLife will be administering is
not to be confused with the separate TRICARE dental contract that covers eligible uniformed service mem-
bers. The Active Duty Dental Program (ADDP) will continue to be administered by United Concordia. Met-
Life is looking forward to the opportunity to provide quality dental coverage and oral health educational pro-
grams to the more than 2 million TDP beneficiaries, which include the family members of all active duty uni-
