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.

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. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
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.

evaluating and Sharing for scale up and out
10. Why Gender Mainstreaming is Indispensable?
• The reality pops up out their even for the gender blind
ones
• Value addition in market oriented agriculture needs the
skills and dexterities of both female and male producers,
traders, input and service providers etc.
• More than 50% of the smallholders are female farmers
• Female and male farmers own skills, resources and
inalienable entitlements to grow and transform
• Gender equity and equality justifies the final outcome of
R&D interventions
• Ignoring gender in R&D intervention is a way to
reinforcing socio-cultural, economic, political and societal
decadence and multifaceted disarticulation

13. LIVES Gender Strategy
• Capitalize of IPMS findings and Lessons
• Findings documented during PIP
• LIVES Baseline Survey
• Capitalize on CIDA funded project experiences
• Reviewing documented evidences in the agricultural
development sector
14. Directives for Successful Gender Sensitive
Interventions in LIVES
• Set specific Gender targets for LIVES Intervention that
captures the imagination of staff and partners and
facilitate support for its successful achievements.
• Learn from and share the experience of successful
gender sensitive VC Governance
• Present evidence and facts to raise the awareness of
project partners regarding the Importance of gender in
value chain development initiative. Do not preach!!
• Prepare a gender action plan and scan the plan and all
project activities with a gender lens, share with partners
and project staff
15. A Gender Lens in commodity/ Enterprise Development
• Commodities and value chain nodes traditionally
dominated by women
• Commodities and value chain nodes conventionally
involve men and women
• Commodities and value chain nodes conventionally
dominated by men only.
16. Directives for Successful Gender Sensitive
Interventions in LIVES
• Learn and share Gender analytical tools and approaches
for successful delivery
• Work in partnership with the respective Women’s Affair
Offices and other women focused public and private
service delivery organizations
• Understanding the gender context of the priority
commodity/ value chains through diagnostic process and
by making continues follow up studies
• Collecting and analyzing site and priority value chain
specific information on gender differences in division of
labor in producing and marketing priority commodities
17. Directives for Successful Gender Sensitive
Interventions in LIVES
• Identify the extent of access to and control over resources
and benefits accrued to men and women from specific
commodities and value chain nodes
• gender participation in decision making capacity needs to
be engaged in priority commodity value chain development
• Developing strategies to address gender issues in
commodity chains with partners.
• Identifying opportunities and implementing strategies to
enable women and men to have equal opportunities in the
project activities
• Identifying constraints and opportunities for women’s
participation in the selected value chains
18. Possible Areas of Interventions
• Targeting women from female‐headed households who
have land for vegetable production
• Targeting women to engage in input supply systems like
fruit tree nurseries, pullet production, feed block
preparation
• Involving women and women groups in value
addition/processing (e.g. juice and honey processing)
• Giving more focus and support to women in
women‐dominated enterprises (e.g. dairy and poultry)
• Adapting enterprises to more effectively engage and
increase benefits to women, e.g., honey production in
modern beehives
19. Concluding Remarks
• Gender Mainstreaming in the Livestock VCD has implications
on:
- Design Gendered Capacity Building
- Design Gendered Knowledge Management
- Design Gendered Technology Uptake
- Generate lessons for practitioners and researchers
- Ensure Gender Empowerment and inclusive VCD
- Increase financial gains for Men & Women Smallholders
- Sustain inclusive livestock and Irrigation VC Development
intervention
- Improve the existing gender inequality in the livestock and
Irrigation Agriculture.
- Transform gender concerns from rhetoric to strategic ends
- Add value to Livestock products more than ever
20. Cocktail for Thought
• Do Countries have feminine and masculine identity
• Who is an influential man or women who play a visible
role in the recent past of your countries history
