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.

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.

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.
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!
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.
2. About Pod1 and Brilliant – the Pod1 Group Established 2001 About 100 people in London, New York, Cape Town Full service digital agency: strategy, design & build, marketing Magento Enterprise Partner Delivered more than 20 Magentosites (15 currently in production across the Pod1 Group)
3. Format Nominate topics and vote Brief talks, followed by discussion (maximum of 15 minutes each) Closing discussion: what we love and hate about Magento
4. Topics for discussion – so far? Magento and PCI compliance Performance tuning Magento Magento localization - language translations The Magento theme hierarchy Other suggestions
5. Magento and PCI compliance What is PCI compliance? What is Varien’s position on PCI compliance? What are your options as a solution provider?
6. What is PCI compliance? Payment card security – global standard PCI-DSS covers a business (e.g. a retailer) applies infrastructure, software, business processes, manual records, databases PA-DSS covers an application (e.g. Magento, or a chip and pin terminal) applies to any application that handles card data It will become a business survival issue in the next 2 years
7. Varien’s position Community Edition – no Varien offering on PCI compliance, you have to ensure it yourself Professional and Enterprise Edition – strong encryption, security, audit trails in Magento, plus Payment Bridge (perhaps not for PE) Payment Bridge – abstracts card handling into inaccessible, secure application, separate from Magento
8.
9. Options as a solution provider Need to get infrastructure and processes right anyway: Firewalls, DMZs, IDS, IPS, scans, securing servers Development, QA, deployment processes Business processes Community Edition is risky for PCI-DSS (limited audit and access control) Professional (TBC) and Enterprise: Use Payment Bridge Use payment extension that doesn’t retain card data (this will need to be verifiable) – for example the Sagepay extension
10. Performance tuning Magento How far are people taking Magento performance-wise? How are they achieving it?
11. Magento localization - language translations Arabic case study Top tips and things to avoid
