It deep dives several advanced data management features and solutions for BD&A workload derived from Spectrum Scale.
HDFS Futures: NameNode Federation for Improved Efficiency and ScalabilityHortonworks
Scalability of the NameNode has been a key issue for HDFS clusters. Because the entire file system metadata is stored in memory on a single NameNode, and all metadata operations are processed on this single system, the NameNode both limits the growth in size of the cluster and makes the NameService a bottleneck for the MapReduce framework as demand increases. HDFS Federation horizontally scales the NameService using multiple federated NameNodes/namespaces. The federated NameNodes share the DataNodes in the cluster as a common storage layer. HDFS Federation also adds client-side namespaces to provide a unified view of the file system. In this talk, Hortonworks co-founder and key architect, Sanjay Raidia, will discuss the benefits, features and best practices for implementing HDFS Federation.
Virtual Machines are a mainstay in the enterprise. Apache Hadoop is normally run on bare machines. This talk walks through the convergence and the use of virtual machines for running ApacheHadoop. We describe the results from various tests and benchmarks which show that the overhead of using VMs is small. This is a small price to pay for the advantages offered by virtualization. The second half of talk compares multi-tenancy with VMs versus multi-tenancy of with Hadoop`s Capacity scheduler. We follow on with a comparison of resource management in V-Sphere and the finer grained resource management and scheduling in NextGen MapReduce. NextGen MapReduce supports a general notion of a container (such as a process, jvm, virtual machine etc) in which tasks are run;. We compare the role of such first class VM support in Hadoop.

Hadoop has traditionally been an on-premises workload, with very few notable implementations on the cloud. With Organizations either having jumped on the cloud bandwagon or have started planning their expansion into the ecosystem, it is imperative for us to explore how Hadoop conforms to the cloud paradigm. With the coming off age of some very useful cloud paradigms and the nature of Big Data with high seasonality of workloads, this is becoming a very common ask from customers. Robust architectures, elastic scale, open platforms, OSS integrations, and addressing complex pain points will all be part of this lively talk. To be able to implement effective solutions for Big Data in the cloud it is imperative that you understand the core principles and grasp the design principles of how the cloud can enhance the benefits of parallelized analytics. Join this session to understand the nitty-gritties of implementing Big Data in the cloud and the various options therein. Big Data + Cloud is definitely a deadly combination.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
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.
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.
