2) Within 5 years, small data centers will disappear as services are automated and orchestrated in the cloud using SDN. SDN will distribute loads optimally across different cloud vendors.
3) SDN will change economics by shifting costs from fixed infrastructure to usage-based models and allowing loads to be distributed flexibly across networks and partners. This will lower capacity planning costs for providers.
Recent demonetization shook the country and many startups have lauded the move. This has led to the immediate need for digital payments and subsequently more digitalization in its relation. But this is not just bound to the demonetization periphery. The need for digitalization is today, the state of the art in business technology is moving from the pioneering efforts of e-business to a more complex theme of services digitalization. Digitalization does not center on technology, but rather on capturing value through improved productivity and performance. Digitalization is the need of the hour which will transcend companies to the future.

When building your IoT solution you face different steps. They normally include Device registration, Data Ingestion, Data processing and Data analysis. So come hear how to model this process on micro services architecture and then hosting whole thing on premise or on a cloud with Azure Service Fabric.
To create software architecture that exhibits structural modularity, is truly agile and can adapt to new changes it’s not enough to put everything in the same project even if the source code is logically structured. Within ING we aim towards a modular approach of developing software: to have formal modules, versioning, explicit contracts based on requirements and capabilities, (micro)services based collaboration between them, run-time dynamism and so on.
This document discusses microservices on Azure. It provides an overview of microservice patterns including the benefits of microservices like increased autonomy, scalability and team allocation. It also discusses challenges like discoverability. The document introduces Azure Service Fabric for building microservices and related cloud patterns like proxy, shared data and load leveling microservice patterns. It recommends microservices for highly skilled developers working on complex projects.
This is the slide deck from my keynote at the EA User Event in Brussels, September 2015. Micro-services and micro-services architecture are the next hype in software development. Websites and blogs are full of introducing posts, the first books are being written and the first conferences organized. There’s big promises of scalability, flexibility and replaceability of individual elements in your landscape. However, when you are knee deep in the mud as a software architect at an insurance, it is very hard to find help on how to design applications and components in a micro-services architecture. During this talk Sander will show how he used Enterprise Architect to model the micro services architecture, and will explain the difficulties and the lessons learned, using many real-life examples.

A microservice approach for legacy modernisationluisw19
Very large portion of the world’s business critical systems are considered to be ‘legacy’ –and so is the code underpinning them (ie COBOL, PASCAL, C, to name a few). Although in many cases it is the case that these systems are robust, stable and fit for the main purpose they were originally built, they aren’t flexible and scalable enough to support emerging requirements mainly derived from a more demanding ‘always on the move’ and ‘always connected’ user.
These systems struggle to meet these demands mainly because of the ‘monolithic’ approach on which they were built and the complexity hidden in millions of lines of code that is only understood a very few hand-full of people that still remain active from the teams that several years ago developed these systems.
In almost an equal amount there have also been thousands of failed attempts to modernise these legacy systems. The ‘eating the elephant’ in one go approach certainly didn’t work, and the traditional SOA approach alone although worked till certain extend, it also fell short when it came down to addressing specific requirements around scalability and platform/service inter-dependencies.
In this presentation I will talk about how a legacy modernisation framework based on Microservice Architecture (MSA) in conjunction with some other known SOA patterns (ie. ESB, API Gateway), can be applied to ‘eat the elephant one piece at the time’ but most importantly ‘without getting indigestion’
Microservices are all the rage. They are the silver bullet of architectural styles. But what does it take to implement them and make them work? What are the foundations to build using this architectural style. In this session, you will learn about microservices from a pragmatic standpoint, based on about 2 years of experience in consulting on the architectural style. Rather than look at the purist approach, as outlined by Martin Fowler, and others, you will learn what works and what doesn't, based on experience in the field. Session includes:
* Foundational topics necessary to implement microservices
* Basics on the architectural style as they apply to real world problems
* Necessary It and shifts to implement microservices in the Enterprise

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
