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.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Hello, my name is <NAME> and I work in <TITLE>
Today, we’re going to talk about how you can innovate across your hybrid and multi-cloud environments with Azure.
<CLICK>
If you look at many of our customer’s environments today, it’s clear that they continue to grow in complexity with the influx of new technologies and platform investments. I’m sure this rings true for you as well.
Applications are running across a diverse infrastructure with data centers, hosting environments, branch offices as well as multi-cloud, where we see two or more clouds being used.
To add to this complexity, your teams are using different development tools, languages, and frameworks as well as approaches like Opensource, Kubernetes and DevOps.
Key questions I often hear as we meet with customers like yourself are :
How to govern and secure resources seamlessly regardless of where they are running?
How to bring cloud innovation to existing infrastructure?
How to modernize local datacenters with new cloud infrastructure?
How to extend compute and AI to the edge to unlock new business scenarios?
At Microsoft, we have long understood this reality you’d be facing. Microsoft Azure has been designed with hybrid in mind from the beginning to help you meet these challenges.
<CLICK>
Through our experience working with customers, there are a few key reasons for a hybrid and multicloud strategy:
Some workloads cannot be moved to the public cloud due to regulatory and data sovereignty requirements. This is common in highly regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, and government.
Some workloads, especially edge workloads, require low latency.
And many companies have significant on-premises investments that they want to maximize so they choose to modernize on-premises datacenters and traditional apps.
Finally, it’s important to have the freedom to use more than one public cloud.
<CLICK>
To further this, we see momentum when customers embrace a hybrid and multicloud approach.
Gartner has shown that 90% of enterprises depend on hybrid
(Gartner - Gartner Says a Massive Shift to Hybrid Infrastructure Services Is Underway)
Flexera 2020 Cloud State of the cloud report has shown that 93% of enterprises have a multicloud strategy
(Flexera 2020 State of the cloud report - Cloud Computing Trends: 2020 State of the Cloud Report | Flexera Blog)
<CLICK>
To support this momentum, Azure offers unique hybrid and multicloud capabilities that give customers the flexibility to innovate anywhere in their environment.
It’s starts with Azure Arc. Azure Arc enables you to standardize visibility, operations, and compliance across a wide range of resources and locations by extending the Azure control plane. Right from Azure, you can easily organize, govern, and secure Windows, Linux, SQL server, and Kubernetes clusters across data centers, edge, and multi-cloud.
Enabled by Azure Arc, you can bring Azure services to any existing infrastructure including other clouds you are using, so you can take advantage of cloud benefits everywhere, such as scalability, fast deployment, and always up-to-date cloud innovation.
You can build Azure-consistent new cloud infrastructure in your own datacenter with Azure Stack, so you can modernize your datacenter and run cloud native applications on-premises while taking advantage of existing investments and meeting regulatory compliances.
You can extend AI to edge devices with Azure IoT, so you can run machine learning and advanced analytics close to the users and the data. As a result, you can gain real-time insights and deliver immersive experiences at the edge of your network, opening up endless new business opportunities.
This is our portfolio of capabilities to support your hybrid and multicloud strategy.
Now, let’s dive into the steps it takes for you to successfully adopt a hybrid strategy.
<CLICK>
Before we get into step 1, the very first move you want to make is plan your migration to Azure, for those workloads that can be migrated.
You can get familiarized with cloud native services and management practices in Azure, which we are extending to your environments with our hybrid portfolio.
The first step in adopting a hybrid strategy is Unified operations and management with Azure Arc.
For workloads that run outside of Azure, you can onboard all these resources to Azure, with Azure Arc, including Windows, Linux, SQL Servers and Kubernetes clusters.
Once you have done that, you can easily extend management services like Azure Policy, Azure Monitor, Azure Security Center, Azure Sentinel so you can manage, govern, and secure your hybrid and multicloud environments consistently.
<CLICK>
The second step is Building cloud native apps and run Azure services anywhere.
More than ever, organizations are building modern applications using Kubernetes containers across cloud, on-premises, and the edge.
With Azure Arc, right from the Azure Portal, customers can deploy a common set of Kubernetes configurations to their clusters wherever they are, consistently and at scale.
Azure Arc also enables developers to centrally code and deploy cloud-native applications securely to any Kubernetes cluster using GitOps.
<CLICK>
The third step is Modernize your data estate with Azure data services.
We understand there are going to be times you need aspects of your Azure applications and services to run locally within an environment.
Announced in the fall, Data Services while in preview continues to have a ton of interest with customers already seeing the advantage.
To quickly recap…
What’s great with Arc enabled data services is that you get an evergreen SQL that is always up to date. This full automation of updates also applies to Postgres databases running on Azure Arc.
You can manage data assets running on-premises alongside those running in Azure familiar tools like Azure Portal, Azure Data Studio, and Azure CLI.
And you get the automation and elasticity support even for data workloads running in places where you don’t have continuous connection to public clouds or any connection at all.
<CLICK>
Modernize your datacenter with our Azure Stack portfolio.
Finally, we can help bring our Azure services directly to your datacenter.
Let’s unpack each of these steps.
<CLICK>
Let’s start with step 1 – Unified operations and management with Azure Arc.
<CLICK>
<Transition slide>
Let’s talk about what kind of Infrastructure services you can enable with Azure Arc –
With the general availability of Azure Arc enabled servers, we support Windows Server and a wide range of Linux operating systems, such as SUSE and RedHat.
On Azure Arc enabled SQL Server, which is in public preview, in addition to the governance and inventory benefits, you are able to take advantage of additional value such as Azure Security services or proactive SQL assessments ensuring your databases are optimally tuned.
And finally, with Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes.
Avanade is a great example of a customer using Microsoft Azure Arc to unify its customers’ hybrid infrastructures.
For Avanade, the most immediate benefit of Azure Arc is that customers can make decisions about cloud migration based on data from the workloads.
Avanade uses that data to show customers an exact ROI for moving particular workloads. It’s a simple but powerful way to help customers make migration decisions that benefit their business.
This data-driven migration saves time and reduces costs for their customers.
Overall, Avanade is helping its customers simplify and standardize infra management, accelerate migration decisions, reduce costs, all while ensuring regulatory compliance – with Azure Arc.
Another example of a customer using Azure Arc is Ferguson.
Ferguson, the largest wholesale distributor of plumbing supplies in the United States, used Microsoft Azure Arc to extend Azure to its on-premises datacenters.
Ferguson’s transition to using multiple clouds and its large number of existing on-premises virtual machines (VMs) has increased its IT complexity.
Ferguson manages more than 5,000 virtual machines across its two datacenters and 1,400 distribution centers.
Across all these machines, Ferguson must apply consistent policy and understand which ones are really part of which applications.
With Azure Arc enabled servers, Ferguson can project its on-premises servers into Azure and organize them using tags like they would any other Azure resource.
Ferguson is using this feature to plan out future migration projects.
Azure Arc also enables Ferguson to apply the same governance policies used to audit its Azure virtual machines to its on-premises machines. Now, that’s scale!
Onto step 2.
<CLICK>
<Transition slide>
Step 2 enables you to build cloud native apps anywhere, at scale.
With more customers building modern applications using Kubernetes containers across cloud, on-premises, and the edge.
We want to ensure we’re offering solutions that help organizations deploy apps consistently across Kubernetes clusters while using familiar tools and cloud native practices.
All by using Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes.
Similar to Arc enabled servers, we offer a lot of flexibility to you based on your specific needs.
We support a wide range of Kubernetes distributions with flavors from different vendors.
You can connect all these clusters to Azure and start deploying applications to these clusters using a GitOps-based model.
Additionally, you can enable cluster health monitoring with Azure Monitor for Containers.
Another powerful capability is the integration with Azure Policy that can ensure compliance with the organization’s security baselines.
A great example of a customer using Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes is Siemens Healthineers.
Siemens Healthineers delivers digital services to cloud-connected customers through the teamplay digital health platform, a software platform it developed and manages in Microsoft Azure.
To establish a better, more flexible, and scalable way of connecting to hospital machines, Siemens Healthineers reengineered its teamplay Receiver software to be able to run microservices on local Kubernetes clusters.
With Azure Arc, Siemens Healthineers can deploy and manage applications on Kubernetes clusters across tens of thousands of locations. It can also monitor, update, and help secure all applications from Azure, where its teamplay cloud runs.
The Kubernetes-based architecture of the teamplay digital health platform allows Siemens Healthineers to add new application components to its software without revising entire applications.
That means it can create new microservices quickly. With Azure Arc, it can push these microservices in near real time to all connected applications in the cloud or at the edge. Pretty amazing!
Another example of the customer benefit we’ve seen using Azure Arc enables Kubernetes is Fujitsu.
To manage services for its large enterprise customers, Fujitsu must use separate tools for various public clouds and on-premises environments.
Management is time-consuming and costly, and standardizing policies takes significant effort.
Using Microsoft Azure Arc, Fujitsu can deploy a common set of Azure policies across clients’ infrastructures and view services through a single pane of glass.
Many of Fujitsu’s customers are experimenting with Kubernetes, although most haven’t yet deployed it at scale.
A Kubernetes framework enables rapid development and deployment of microservices within applications.
For its Kubernetes customers, Fujitsu will now be able to use Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes to extend Kubernetes configuration and workload management to on-premises environments, so far-flung factories and branch offices will be able to deploy new AI algorithms and other microservices sooner.
<CLICK>
A key unique benefit that Azure Arc offers is that it enables you to run native Azure services anywhere on any infrastructure.
With native Azure services, you can innovate with the latest cloud native services, operate efficiently using cloud native tools and practices and manage and secure Azure services running anywhere using management services such as Azure Policy, Azure Monitor and Azure Security Center.
Let’s unpack Azure Arc enabled Machine Learning – we launched the preview of this capability at Ignite 2021.
You can run machine learning wherever your data lives, on-premises, in multi-cloud and at the edge.
With Arc enabled Machine Learning, customers can benefit from leveraging existing infrastructure, meeting security and regulatory requirements.
Data Scientists can innovate with machine learning using familiar tools in Azure Machine Learning.
Get started in minutes by deploying the simple on-click ML agent and run ML on any Kubernetes cluster connected to Azure Arc.
Imagine being able to see your data services and ML services running on-premises along side those running in Azure through a single pane of glass, using familiar tools like Azure Portal, Azure Data Studio and Azure CLI.
Now, let’s dive into Step 3 to learn more about Azure data services.
<CLICK>
<Transition slide>
Step 3 - Modernizing your data estate with Azure data services.
With Azure Arc, you can now bring Azure data services to any infrastructure across on-premises data centers, edge and 3rd party clouds, using Kubernetes on hardware of your choice.
For customers who need to maintain data estate on-premises, you will gain unique benefits for those on-premises data workloads.
First, you will always be current, meaning updates and upgrades are fully automated, and the deployment is controlled by your policy.
You will gain unique and cloud proven innovation ahead of any other hybrid cloud offering like the evergreen SQL with no end-of-support through Azure SQL Database, and the hyperscale deployment option of Azure Database for PostgreSQL.
Second, we will bring cloud elasticity on-premises so you can optimize performance of data workloads with the ability to dynamically scale up/down and scale out, without application downtime.
Moreover, by connecting to Azure you will gain unified management. Imagine being able to see your data services running on-premises along side those running in Azure through a single pane of glass, using familiar tools like Azure Portal, Azure Data Studio and Azure CLI.
For the first time, you will be able to access Azure’s industry leading security and governance capabilities to your on-premises data workloads using Azure Security Center, Azure policy and Azure RBAC to protect your data on-premises.
Best of all, you can now have the option to use modern cloud billing model for better cost efficiency across your hybrid infrastructure.
Customers who have rolled our Azure Arc enabled data services have reaped these benefits. Let’s look at Ferguson again.
Ferguson plans to make the most of Azure Arc enabled data services in its on-premises environments.
It wants to take advantage of services in Azure, such as Azure Monitor for monitoring the databases when the database instances are running in many physical locations.
Later on, the company wants to continuously monitor its databases for outside threats across entire infrastructures when Azure Advanced Threat Protection is enabled via Azure Arc.
By enabling Azure Arc data enabled services, customers will be able to manage their instances from a single pane of glass.
“Most importantly, my managers don’t have to go to many different places to see the health of our database environment.” Melo, SQL Server database admin says.
<CLICK>
<Transition slide>
The final step is modernizing your datacenters with Azure Stack.
Azure Stack is a portfolio of products combining purpose-built hardware and software to bring cloud innovation to your datacenter to simplify the way you work.
The first, Azure Stack HCI, announced last fall, is designed to help you modernize your traditional infrastructure of virtualized servers and storage with a hybrid solution of hyperconverged infrastructure tightly integrated with Azure.
----
Next, Azure Stack Edge is an Azure managed appliance enabling your IoT, AI/ML workloads and other edge computing needs.
----
And finally, Azure Stack Hub is an integrated system for running a disconnected and private cloud—with cloud-native apps using consistent Azure services on-premises.
<CLICK>
As you look to future efforts for modernizing your own environments be sure to include Azure Stack HCI as part of the equation
Azure Stack HCI is a new hyperconverged infrastructure operating system delivered as a hybrid Azure service.
It delivers enterprise scale and great price performance for existing and new applications with familiar management and operations.
You can take advantage of Azure Stack HCI for your datacenter, branch office or edge infrastructure.
Azure Stack HCI also supports new cloud native, Kubernetes apps with AKS on Azure Stack HCI that is consistent with what you get with AKS in Azure.
<CLICK>
We are the only cloud provider that can provide this complete story across all layers of the solution: the infrastructure, the control plane, and the services.
Microsoft is the only company that delivers technology that takes you from bare metal to a public cloud connected and consistent application and data platform in your datacenter.
For customers needing to modernize aging servers and storage, they can use Azure Stack HCI to seamlessly extend your datacenter to the cloud, connecting to Azure services.
At the same time as modernizing infrastructure, customers are turning to Kubernetes for their modern application development. Azure Kubernetes Service on Azure Stack HCI takes our popular Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and makes it available to customers to run on-premises; delivering Azure consistency, a familiar Azure experience, ease of use and high security for their containerized applications.
AKS on HCI empowers BOTH developers and IT Administrators to deploy and managed containerized apps on Azure Stack HCI.
For example, dev teams can use AKS on Azure Stack HCI to develop applications on AKS and deploy them unchanged on-premises
For IT, AKS on Azure Stack HCI simplifies the process of setting up Kubernetes on Azure Stack HCI and includes the necessary components to allow you to deploy multiple Kubernetes clusters in your environment.
Which means, customers can focus on what matters most - applications.
3.Lastly, if you are wanting to further bring PaaS services to your on-premises environment, you can run Azure data services on premises and at the edge by utilizing Azure Arc enabled Data Services using Kubernetes. Azure Arc serves as the linchpin to tie together Azure data services directly into your on-premises environment. AKS on Azure Stack HCI delivers a complete solution from Microsoft, and only Microsoft can offer this end-to-end cloud-consistent application and data platform on-premises.
