One of the biggest announcements at the Microsoft Ignite 2019 is Azure Arc – the hybrid and multi-cloud platform from Microsoft.
View this content to learn how Azure Arc allows enterprises to manage on-prem and cloud resources like Windows VMs, Linux Servers, Kubernetes clusters, and Azure data services by centrally organizing and governing from a single place.
With Azure Arc customers can manage virtual machines, Kubernetes clusters and data services on-premises, at service providers and in other clouds from a single view in Azure using the innovative security, monitoring and policy tools from Azure they appreciate. In this session you will get an introduction to Azure Arc and we will dive deeper into Azure Arc for Kubernetes specifically.
Azure Arc is a solution that simplifies management across different hybrid clouds or multi-clouds. Azure Arc extends Azure management and security beyond the walls of Azure to other cloud platforms or on-premises environments enabling you to make use of Azure services to manage infrastructure at these environments. In this session, you will be introduced to Azure Arc, why should you use it and how to make use of it in different scenarios.

OCCIware: Extensible and Standard-based XaaS Platform To Manage Everything in...OW2
The OCCIware project aims at managing in a unified manner all layers and domains of the Cloud (XaaS), by building on the Open Cloud Computing (OCCI) standard. OCCIware Metamodel formally specifies the main OCCI concepts. Today a first EMF metamodel is defined that adds to OCCI new concepts such as Extension, Configuration, and EDataType, addressing some limitations of OCCI.
This session highlights OCCIware platform two main components:
– The OCCIware Studio Factory, allowing to produce visually customizable diagram editors for any Cloud configuration business domain modeled in OCCI using the OCCI Extension Studio, such as the flagship Docker Studio ;
– The OCCIware Runtime, based on OW2 erocci project, including the tools for deployment, supervision and administration, and allowing to federate multiple XaaS Cloud runtimes, such as the Roboconf PaaS server and the ActiveEon Cloud Automation multi-IaaS connector.
This talk includes a demonstration of the Docker connector and of how to use the OCCIware Cloud Designer to configure a real life Cloud application (a Java API server on top of a MongoDB cluster)’s business, platform and infrastructure layers seamlessly on both VirtualBox and OpenStack infrastructure.

Next-Generation Security Operations with AWS | AWS Public Sector Summit 2016Amazon Web Services
With the upswell of cloud adoption, many traditional infrastructure paradigms are shifting. Security is no different. The cloud service provider industry is discovering new ways to tackle security, including automation, bottomless logging, scalable analysis clusters, and pluggable security tools. This session presents a case study in extending a traditional infrastructure operation into AWS. We provide a practical look into the technical challenges and benefits of operating in this new paradigm, explore incident response automation (Alexa integration), and provide various examples of shifting an on-premises security operation to a scalable, hybrid model. Through lessons learned and analysis, we show why your data is safer in the cloud than in that rack you can touch in your data

Event Hub (i.e. Kafka) in Modern Data ArchitectureGuido Schmutz
Today's modern data architectures and the their implementations contain an Event Hub. What are the benefits of placing an Event Hub in a Modern Data (Analytics) Architecture? What exactly is an Event Hub and what capabilities should it provide? Why is Apache Kafka the most popular realization of an Event Hub?
These and many other questions will be answered in this session. The talk will start with a vendor-neutral definition of the capabilities of an Event Hub.
Then the session will highlight the different architecture styles which can be supported using an Event Hub (Kafka), such as Streaming Data Integration, Stream Analytics and Decoupled Event-Driven Applications and how can these be combined into a unified architecture, making the Event Hub the central nervous system of an enterprise architecture. We will end with an overview of the Kafka ecosystem and a placement of the various components onto the Modern Data (Analytics) Architecture.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
