How National Australia Bank (NAB) used CA APM during performance testing to i...CA Technologies
Users are becoming increasingly impatient with new apps that don’t work. Often, you get one shot to get it right. But, new applications are being rolled out all the time, and being accessed from all sorts of devices. Operations need to provide developers with real-world production data to help them identify performance issues before applications go into production. This Application Lifecycle Optimization (or DevOps) is key for businesses to reduce the risk of faulty application rollouts.
Recently at DevOps Summit in New York, Peter Tsatsaronis of National Australia Bank (NAB) discussed how they used Application Performance Management (APM) from CA Technologies to create an exact replica of load and performance data from production to help developers improve new and enhanced application quality. As a result of that, NAB has lowered their transaction response time by 85%, improved developer code efficiency, and even found issues they didn’t know they had , which were all discovered in performance testing, by implementing CA APM.
Aruna Ravichandran, VP, Product Marketing, Application Performance Management and DevOps, CA Technology joined Peter from NAB at this session and shared how CA Technologies is uniquely positioned to help customers in their journey to DevOps transformation .

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.

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.

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).

• Assuring good user experience and your ability to maintain service level agreements are paramount to your reputation,
customer loyalty and revenue.
• Dumb pipes, siloed tools and reactive monitoring of your network domains are inadequate for today’s service provider market.
• Instead, instrumentation and analytics must be intelligent and end-to-end across the entire service delivery path so you know
how and where network incidents impact users and how trends will impact users unless they are not proactively addressed.
• This requires a single monitoring solution that can monitor and analyze a massive amount of granular SNMP and nonSNMP
devices from a wide range of equipment vendors and across all network technology domains.

Modern, Multi-Tiered Carrier-Grade Architecture
• Monitoring today’s large, complex networks
requires tools built on an entirely new Multi-
Tiered Architecture that provides very high scale
at low cost.
• Based upon a centralized cluster of host servers –
each for a specific function – this architecture
enables very high performance data collection
and analytical processing that requires half or less
than half the host servers of older-generation
monitoring tools.
• The architecture’s efficient polling engines
(i.e., collectors) scale monitoring linearly and at
low cost by requiring a fraction of additional
servers required by older-generation tools.
• Newer database technology enables warehousing
of hundreds of terabytes of data on a small host
foot-print, making them available for deep
analytics for incident management and trending
for capacity planning and proactive problem
avoidance.
• Dashboards are optimized for reading and visually
correlating a massive amount of key performance
indicators. The architecture is designed to
eliminate bottlenecks found in older-generation
monitoring tools to ensure instant population of
dashboards and reports with metrics and analysis.
