Audio video ethernet (avb cobra net dante)Jeff Green
AVB fits low-cost, small-form-factor products such as this microphone. The overall trend is that music no longer lives on shelves or in CD racks, but in hard drives in home computers, and increasingly in the cloud. This brings about its own unique problems, not in the encoding system used, or the storage technology, but in distributing the audio from the storage media to the speakers. AVB features are all enabled by a global and port level configuration. Connecting these elements is the AVB-enabled switch (in the graphic above, the Extreme Networks® Summit® X440.) The role of the switch is to provide support for the control protocols: AVB is Ethernet’s next stage of convergence, delivering pitch perfect audio and crystal clear video seamlessly over the network
IP/Ethernet is bringing simplicity and features to audio and video as it has brought to services like VoIP, Storage and many more
High quality, perfectly synchronized A/V until now has been difficult to maintain
Standards work by the IEEE and the AVB standard changes everything, creating interoperability and mass-marketing equipment pricing
Benefits of AVB - Delivers predictable latency and precise synchronization, maximizing the functionality of AV – time synchronization and quality or service
Reduced complexity and Ease of use through interoperability between devices
Streamlines complex network set-up and management, the Infrastructure negotiates and manages the network for optimal prioritized media transport
AV traffic can co-exist with non-AV traffic on same Ethernet infrastructure
Role based control at the XYZ Account - XYZ Account can identify devices and apply policies based on device type all the way down to the port and or the AP. Policies can dynamically change based on the device a user is connecting with and where that user is located. Extreme Networks provides infrastructure to deliver customizable prioritization and scalable capacity via configurable and built-in intelligence, ensuring a comprehensive, superior quality experience. Furthermore, when deployed with Extreme Wireless XYZ Account can configure the network to ensure applications receive the bandwidth they require, while still limiting or preventing high speed streaming of music of video or even games.

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!

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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).
