Docker is an open source containerization platform that allows users to package applications and their dependencies into standardized executable units called containers. Docker relies on features of the Linux kernel like namespaces and cgroups to provide operating-system-level virtualization and allow containers to run isolated on a shared kernel. This makes Docker highly portable and allows applications to run consistently regardless of the underlying infrastructure. Docker uses a client-server architecture where the Docker Engine runs in the cloud or on-premises and clients interact with it via Docker APIs or the command line. Common commands include build to create images from Dockerfiles, run to launch containers, and push/pull to distribute images to registries. Docker is often used for microservices and multi-container

DOO-009_Powering High Velocity Development for your Infrastructuredecode2016
Chef is a leader in automation for DevOps that provides a platform to automate infrastructure and applications. The Chef platform allows teams to treat infrastructure as code by defining policies and configurations in code that can be versioned, tested, and deployed. This enables teams to collaborate safely at a high velocity. The Chef platform includes tools for test-driven infrastructure development, integration with cloud platforms like Azure, and ensuring compliance and security.
Chef is a tool that helps provision and manage servers and their configurations. It comprises of three main elements - a server, nodes, and workstations. The server manages cookbooks and policies and ensures nodes comply with policies. Nodes are the managed servers. Workstations are where code is created and changed. Chef uses resources like packages, services, files to describe a system's desired state and recipes to combine resources. It follows a test and repair model to ensure nodes match their desired state.
- LWRP and HWRP allow creation of custom resources in Chef. LWRP are lightweight while HWRP are heavyweight.
- Data bags store JSON data on the Chef server that can be accessed from recipes. Data bag items contain individual JSON files that can be encrypted.
- Linting tools like Rubocop and Foodcritic ensure code quality by analyzing code for conventions and best practices.
- Berkshelf manages cookbook dependencies externally to the Chef server. Test Kitchen tests cookbooks across platforms in isolation using drivers.
- Chef-solo runs locally without a server while Chef-zero is an in-memory server for development. Chef-provisioning declaratively defines machine resources across

Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)Julian Hyde
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.

Kafka Summit talk (Bangalore, India, May 2, 2024, https://events.bizzabo.com/573863/agenda/session/1300469 )
Many Apache Kafka use cases take advantage of Kafka’s ability to integrate multiple heterogeneous systems for stream processing and real-time machine learning scenarios. But Kafka also exists in a rich ecosystem of related but complementary stream processing technologies and tools, particularly from the open-source community. In this talk, we’ll take you on a tour of a selection of complementary tools that can make Kafka even more powerful. We’ll focus on tools for stream processing and querying, streaming machine learning, stream visibility and observation, stream meta-data, stream visualisation, stream development including testing and the use of Generative AI and LLMs, and stream performance and scalability. By the end you will have a good idea of the types of Kafka “superhero” tools that exist, which are my favourites (and what superpowers they have), and how they combine to save your Kafka applications development universe from swamploads of data stagnation monsters!

Consistent toolbox talks are critical for maintaining workplace safety, as they provide regular opportunities to address specific hazards and reinforce safe practices.
These brief, focused sessions ensure that safety is a continual conversation rather than a one-time event, which helps keep safety protocols fresh in employees' minds. Studies have shown that shorter, more frequent training sessions are more effective for retention and behavior change compared to longer, infrequent sessions.
Engaging workers regularly, toolbox talks promote a culture of safety, empower employees to voice concerns, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries on site.
The traditional method of conducting safety talks with paper documents and lengthy meetings is not only time-consuming but also less effective. Manual tracking of attendance and compliance is prone to errors and inconsistencies, leading to gaps in safety communication and potential non-compliance with OSHA regulations. Switching to a digital solution like Safelyio offers significant advantages.
Safelyio automates the delivery and documentation of safety talks, ensuring consistency and accessibility. The microlearning approach breaks down complex safety protocols into manageable, bite-sized pieces, making it easier for employees to absorb and retain information.
This method minimizes disruptions to work schedules, eliminates the hassle of paperwork, and ensures that all safety communications are tracked and recorded accurately. Ultimately, using a digital platform like Safelyio enhances engagement, compliance, and overall safety performance on site. https://safelyio.com/
Unveiling the Advantages of Agile Software Development.pdfbrainerhub1
Learn about Agile Software Development's advantages. Simplify your workflow to spur quicker innovation. Jump right in! We have also discussed the advantages.
What to do when you have a perfect model for your software but you are constrained by an imperfect business model?
This talk explores the challenges of bringing modelling rigour to the business and strategy levels, and talking to your non-technical counterparts in the process.
1. COOKIN’ UP SERVERS WITH CHEF
Chef is an automation platform that streamlines the tasks
of configuring machines. It also helps maintain the state
of those machines.
I am going to talk about the anatomy of Chef, show a
code example, show how code become a configuration
on a machine
2. CHEF ECOSYSTEM
The Chef Ecosystem has three main components. The
Chef DK, Chef Server and Clients.
The ChefDK is installed on a programmer’s workstation.
The Chef Server is an on premise server or a Chef
Managed instance.
Clients are the machines that you want Chef to configure.
3. CHEF DK
The Chef DK is used to create "Cookbooks" describing the
desired configuration a machine should be in. A
Cookbook contains “recipes”. Recipes are code files
written in Chef DSL based on Ruby.
4. CHEF DK
It is also used to create unit and integration tests to
ensure the recipe is functioning properly.
5. CHEF SERVER
The Chef Server is a hub for configuration data. Chef
server stores:
Cookbooks
Rules on how recipes are applied to clients
Meta data to describe each client configuration..
6. CHEF CLIENTS
Clients are computers - physical, virtual or cloud that are
managed by Chef. Each computer has the Chef Client
installed.
Chef Client is what does the configuring
It runs in the background periodically.
For each run it asks the Chef Server for recipes to
execute, executes them to bring the configuration of the
machine to its desired state
7. COOKBOOKS
Let’s take a deeper dive into the ChefDK
Chef DK is used to create cookbooks.
Cookbooks contain recipes related to each other
A cookbook has many parts, recipes, attributes,
environments, data_bags, Tests, libraries and custom
resources.
I am only going show you the most essential parts,
recipes and tests.
8. RECIPES
A recipe contains a set of resources that describe what
the state the machine should be. A resource is the
“thing” you configure on the machine.
Here is an example of a recipe that installs KanbanSim.
When the chef client runs this recipe, it will run the
resources in order.
9. RESOURCES
The first resource will create a directory “C:KanbanSim”.
The second resource will create a directory “C:Chef-
temp”.
10. RESOURCES
The remote_file resource will download the file in the
source attribute and save it as C:Chef-tempKanbanSim-
and-ScrumSim-v2.0.zip.
11. RESOURCES
The last resource will extract the zip file specified in the
source attribute to the location set in the path attribute.
12. TESTING COOKBOOKS
Testing Cookbooks – one of the perks of describing your
machine configuration as code is you can easily test it.
Chef offers a couple of ways to do this. ChefSpec and
InSpec.
13. TEST KITCHEN
You run the Inspec these tests in a tool called Test-
Kitchen
Test-Kitchen is a tool we used to run our cookbooks and
test on our developer workstations. Kitchen uses vagrant
+ VirtualBox to create a VM from a base image. Then runs
cookbooks and Inspec integration tests on the VM.
Kitchen is also used to run ChefSpec unit tests.
14. CHEFSPEC
ChefSpec
ChefSpec is a unit-testing framework for Chef. These tests
run on the Developer’s workstation. Here is an example:
TODO
15. INSPEC
InSpec is a compliance-testing framework. However, it
has also been adopted as an Integration Testing
framework for Cookbooks. These tests will run on the
client machine.
16. CHEF SERVER
Chef Server
The Chef server is a hub for configuration data. With Chef
Server you can:
Manage User Security
Manage Roles, which is a group of recipes. Roles are
assigned to Client “Node
The picture here shows a role called Jenkins_dotnet
with three recipes in the run list
Manage Client “Nodes”
View Reports about Chef client runs
17. CHEF SERVER
You can also view node run history. If there is a problem
the log is displayed in a nice readable format.
If I were to scroll down it would show me a stack trace
pointing to where in the recipe the run fail
The details will show me step by step what resources
were executed
The Run list will tell what roles and recipes I have in the
run list
18. CHEF WORKFLOW EXAMPLE
Ok let’s get out of the weeds a second and talk about what the
workflow would look like to get a server with KanbanSim
First I push the KanbanSim cookbook to git
Which kicks off a Jenkins Job
That downloads the code and runs my unit and integration tests
Once those pass then the Jenkins job will call a tool called knife
and upload the cookbooks
Then we can use knife to install chef client on a server and
assign that server a run list
Once Chef Client is installed then it will start to configure the
server.
Then the server will periodically perform a run and check in
with the Chef server
