Mule is an open source enterprise service bus (ESB) that addresses integration problems by enabling the refactoring of existing systems in real-time as requirements change. It provides routing, transformation, and management of messages between disparate systems. Mule uses connectors to integrate applications together through its flow-based visual programming model and supports many transports and protocols.
Executing hundreds or thousands of process instances per second? Yes, it's possible. This webinar is about best practices for high-load situations, and how to scale Camunda BPM horizontally.
Real world #microservices with Apache Camel, Fabric8, and OpenShiftChristian Posta
What are, or aren't, microservices?
There's a lot of hype and buzz, but microservices emerged organically vs how some of the other distributed architectural styles were "handed down to us", so I believe there's some good things once you cut through the hype. In this talk I discussed what are and are NOT microservices, introduced some concepts, and discussed some concrete open-source libraries and frameworks that can help you develop and manage microservice style deployments.
Real-world #microservices with Apache Camel, Fabric8, and OpenShiftChristian Posta
What are and aren't microservices?
Microservices is a validation of the open-source approach to integration and service implementation and a rebuff of the committee-driven SOA approach. In this

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.

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).

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.

<catch-all-strategy
className="org.mule.routing.ForwardingCatchAllStrategy">
<endpoint address="jms://topic:error.topic"/>
</catch-all-strategy>

24. Take Away Messages
Mule’s generality results in great flexibility, but at the
cost of great complexity for users
Mule is the focal point of ambiguity and difficulties
with many standards-based packages
Mule delivers (to a degree) on:
Integration, flexibility, decentralized operation,
scalability
Mule doesn’t deliver (so much) on:
Runtime refactoring, conceptualization
Editor's Notes
Routing – ability to channel a request to a particular service provider based on deterministic or variable routing criteria (e.g., static/deterministic, content-based, policy-based, or complex rule-based)
Message Transformation – ability to convert the structure and format of the incoming business service request to the structure and format expected by the service provider (e.g., xml→xml, xml→Cobol Copybook, object→xml)
Message Enhancement – ability to add or modify the information contained in the message as required by the service provider (e.g., date format conversion, supplemental data, data conversion, rules-based enhancement)
Protocol Transformation – The ability to accept one type of protocol from the consumer as input (e.g., SOAP/JMS) and communicate to the service provider through a different protocol (e.g., IIOP) – concerned with message structure, not payload – has attributes of physical connection and logical connectivity
Service Mapping – The ability to translate a business service into the corresponding service implementation and provide binding and location information (includes implementation service name, service protocols and binding information, protocol-specific information, service-specific routing information)
Message Processing – The ability to manage state and perform request management by accepting an input request and ensuring delivery back to the client via message synchronization
Process Choreography – The ability to manage complex business processes that require the coordination of multiple business services to fulfill a single business service request (usually BPEL-based, often a manifestation of a use case or business process)
Service Orchestration – The ability to manage the coordination of multiple implementation services (usually inter-service communication or aggregate services)
Transaction Management – The ability to provide a single unit of work for a business service request by providing a framework for the coordination of multiple resources across multiple disparate services (e.g., compensatory transactional framework, WS-Coordination or JSR-95 Activity Service)
Security – The ability to protect enterprise services from unauthorized access (e.g., Authentication, Authorization, Auditing, and Administration via access to external managers)
Choreographer entrypoint (containing business processes and rules) requires that all services have BPEL coordination. Problems with performance, maintenance, and complexity. Common vendor solution.
Mediator entrypoint allows choreography where appropriate. Good scalability, performance, reduced complexity. Avoids layers … and mediators are fast (~ms). Choreographer is just another service provider.
Create standards-based architecture for integrating middleware components to perform ESB capabilities
Concerned with how internal customers (not external services) interact with service providers – transformation, security, etc.
Defines service engines (SE – choreographers, transformers, security, etc) and binding components (BC – xml, http, etc)
avoids vendor lockin
incentivizes best of breed SE and BC
Not addressing federation of ESBs
Mule is a lightweight UMO container
UMO = Universal Messaging Objects (POJO)
UMOs are endpoints that know how to send and receive requests
Constructor is called by component resolver to create object
Initialize called when component is registered with Mule model
Start is called when the component (server/UMO) is started
onCall is called when event is received for component … can resolve to any method within UMO
Stop is called when Mule server is stopped
Dispose is called when Mule server is shut down
Routing – ability to channel a request to a particular service provider based on deterministic or variable routing criteria (e.g., static/deterministic, content-based, policy-based, or complex rule-based)
Message Transformation – ability to convert the structure and format of the incoming business service request to the structure and format expected by the service provider (e.g., xml→xml, xml→Cobol Copybook, object→xml)
