Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
Â
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an âinfrastructure container kubernetes guyâ, 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 benefitâs 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.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
Â
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.

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).

Library2 Presentation
1. Web 2.0 and Libraries: Best Practices for Social Software By Sarah, Darby, Beth, and Andrew November 19, 2009
2. What is Web 2.0 for? Communication Personal connections Creating community Expanding services cheaply
3. What is Web 2.0? Itâs the stuff you find yourself doing when youâre supposed to be writing a paper. - Flickr -Blogs - Wikis and Wikipedia - RSS
4. Web 2.0 is all about⌠Openness Ease of Use Innovation Creation Sharing Social Interaction Participation Decentralization But everybody knows thatâŚ
5. âLibraries have historically been places to receive information but with some exception, less places to contribute information.â - Jessamyn West, Librarian.net
6. Web 2.0 + Libraries = Library 2.0 Use whatâs out there to help you do what youâre already doing Get a step ahead Bring in the outside world Take it seriously
7. RSS Like âautomated web surfing,â RSS allows users to keep abreast of interesting updates without visiting individual sites. This has value to libraries through: linking to other sites (such as news, weather, etc) on the library web page. Library-specific RSS feeds http://triadprstore.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/rss-button-prstore.jpg
8. Creating library-specific RSS feeds Check out the following aggregators: BlogPluse (www.blogpulse.com) PubSub (http://www.pubsub.com) Techorati (http://technorati.com) Feedster (http://www.feedster.com)
9. Instant Messaging Instant Messaging, a real time synchronous conversation between two people via the internet, is becoming increasingly useful to libraries. IM can be a powerful tool for reference. Some users may be embarrassed to ask questions, and prefer the anonymity of IM Be sure to Train staff; after all, itâs still a reference interview. Check out Meebo through RUL Promote, Promote, Promote! Give your IM service a web presence Put chat names on business cards, and the library web page For more info check out: http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Online_Reference
11. Purposes of Library Blogs Blogs used by libraries fall mostly into two broad categories: Blogs that serve the public by promoting library services, collections, and events Blogs that serve library staff by facilitating communication (like an intranet or email list).
12. Library Blogs for the Public Why use blogs to communicate with the public? Allow two-way communication with users Create transparency regarding library decisions (e.g. updates for large construction projects) Gather information in one place Introduce staff to the public (e.g. profiles) What do libraries put on their blogs? Announcements of events and service updates (e.g. changes in library hours) Information for a particular user group (e.g. teens, graduate students)Â Links to database trials, new subscriptions, and underutilized resources
13. Example of a successful library blog for the public Ann Arbor Public Library http://www.aadl.org/
14. Staff Blogs Why use blogs for staff communication? Reduce email and email-related problems (e.g. lost emails, messages stuck in spam filters) Centralize staff information in one easy-to-find location, rather than scattered throughout emails Facilitate direct conversation on a topic via comments Provide an opportunity and incentive (or requirement) for staff to become proficient in blogging and other Web 2.0 technologies.
15. Best Practices for Library Blogs Train your staff adequately and establish style guidelines for consistency and clarity (e.g. avoiding library jargon, using consistent acronyms or none at all). Designate a point person to offer some editorial oversight on public blog posts, Integrate the blog with the libraryâs website by providing easy links to the library catalog and other features. Use âsoft openingâ techniques to introduce your blog to the public. Launch by putting the blog up, adding a few posts, and adding links from the home pageâŚthen really ramp up advertising after a few weeks of regular posting from staff and/or users.
17. Wikis Features: Article Page-editing mode Talk or discussion pages History page(s) Edit or view source option Search function Wiki Types: Single-user wiki Lab book Collaborative writing Knowledge base
18. What can libraries do with wikis? Subject guides Project planning Policy manuals Resource listings Training resources Bethlehem Public Library created a wiki to keep track of links to online resources. âWe were trying to do this by group e-mail but found that we were just âgunking upâ each otherâs inboxes.â Now the team can view the wiki for new posts at their convenience. Geoffrey Kirkpatrick, Head of Circulation and Tech Services
19. Implementing Wikis Choose software & determine a hosting option Server installation Software for hosting online Google Sites, http://sites.google.com/ Pbwiki, http://pbwiki.com Seedwiki, www.seedwiki.com Open-source options Mediawiki, www.mediawiki.org
20. Implementing Wikis Set goals, authors, and monitors Set logins & passwords or open it to everyone Take the time to train & promote People wonât use it if they donât know itâs there! Encourage experimentation Tip: Use wiki software that generates RSS feeds so that changes in articles may be easily monitoried.
22. Flickr An image-hosting online community Began as an online game but is now a way for people to upload and share photos âWhat was once the digital equivalence of a shoebox became a vibrant community built around photos and a vast collaborative effort to produce an infinite scrapbook.â Registered users can comment on photos, create image âpoolsâ around a central theme, and select favorite pictures. - Levy, S. & Stone, B. (April 3, 2006). The new wisdom of the web. Newsweek. www.msnbc.msn.com. As cited in LTR report.
23. Benefits & Fun Features of Flickr Easy to place images in blogs and websites with Flickrâs code generator Increase the odds of being found by tagging photos with libraryâs name and location Set privacy levels & access Select other Flickr users as contacts & subscribe to their feeds Upload to Flickr from e-mail, computer, or cell phone Group images into sets to tell the story of an event Add notes to images Create promotional materials â posters, billboards, magazine covers, trading cards, etc.
24. 5 Hints for Using Flickr in Libraries hhAllow Flickr access on library computers Add tags, notes, & comments Create a profile in Flickr for the library Tell stories: showcase library programs Use photos to put a human face on the libraryâs online presence
