The cloud market has evolved to the point where it’s no longer enough to just offer virtual machines by the hour. Developers are demanding more, and the largest clouds in the world are providing it. Users expect services like Database-as-a-Service, Cache-as-a-Service and Queue-as-a-Service. These types of services are now the new bar for cloud operators, and represent a shift from basic IaaS to IaaS+. In this talk, we will discuss the increasing pace of innovation around higher value services in the public cloud market, and how this impacts your cloud (be it public or private).

"In a time when mobile digital media engagement is at 51% (compared to desktop engagement at 42%), restaurants are turning to innovative and interactive technologies to attract customers. Consistent with its motto, “good food, fast”, McDonald’s turned to the cloud to reach always-on digital customers, enhance flexibility, and cut costs.
For the past year, Datapipe has been working with McDonald’s to develop the company’s first born-in-the-cloud mobile application. Datapipe’s AWS solution gives McDonald’s the flexibility to quickly spin up instances as demand increases. It creates a standardized, repeatable process for deployment to markets around the globe. This flexibility – both geographically and in the infrastructure – gives McDonald’s a hyperscalable environment (with the added benefit of cost containment) to take the restaurant into the modern age of consumer engagement.
In this session, representatives from McDonald’s and Datapipe will discuss the ongoing process of moving an iconic global enterprise into the 21st century. It looks in detail at the factors the company considered before moving to AWS, security concerns that needed to be addressed, and the long-term competitive advantage of using the AWS environment.

Evolving Devops: The Benefits of PaaS and Application Dial Tonecornelia davis
Differentiate between Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), enhanced IaaS (Iaas+) and Platform as a Service (PaaS). We define IaaS+, which remains an infrastructure virtualization solution, and make clear the benefits of providing making the application (instead of the virtual machine) the first class abstraction with which developers and operations teams interact. When enough functionality is available around the *application* devops practices provide greater value.
These slides were presented as a part a Pivotal webinar - a replay can be accessed here: http://www.pivotal.io/platform-as-a-service/evolving-devops-the-benefits-of-paas-and-application-dial-tone
Evolving Dev Ops: The Benefits of PaaS and Application Dial ToneVMware Tanzu
The DevOps movement has enabled organizations to leave behind months-long procurement cycles and instead get the infrastructure they need in a matter of hours, or even minutes. While many organizations have benefited from this automation, even greater gains can be realized when the application development and hosting platform provides capabilities further up the stack.
Tune in to this webinar to learn:
1. The symbiotic relationship between DevOps and PaaS
2. How to transform your infrastructure into an abstracted application layer that stands ready to initiate services on demand
3. The kinds of outcomes experienced by early adopters of the Pivotal CF PaaS
In order to meet the compute infrastructure requirements for the broad range of service consumers, a common framework is required around which infrastructure as a service can be defined, provisioned, monitored and managed. A common set of principles, metrics and architectural frameworks can be defined, resulting in consistent capabilities, service levels and service attributes across multiple providers, while still allowing the individual providers to innovate and differentiate. In this session ODCA representatives will outline the framework and some usage scenarios.
Beyond PaaS v.s IaaS: How to Manage BothRightScale
The lines between IaaS and PaaS are blurring. Cloud providers are offering dozens of individual IaaS+ services as an alternative to “all-in-one” PaaS options like OpenShift and Cloud Foundry. Container-as-a-service (CaaS) offerings based on Docker are also being used as a basis for PaaS offerings. In fact, many enterprises are using PaaS, IaaS, IaaS+, and CaaS side-by-side. We decode the various options and show how you can manage them all with a single pane of glass.
Azure vs AWS Best Practices: What You Need to KnowRightScale
Azure is now the clear #2 in public cloud behind AWS. While some cloud users are evaluating Azure vs. AWS, many enterprises are planning to use both cloud providers. But there are some notable differences between how the two clouds operate and the best practices for deploying workloads in each.
The Azure vs. AWS Best Practices: What You Need to Know webinar will cover:
Recent and coming enhancements for Azure.
Azure vs. AWS differences for compute, networking, and storage.
Best practices for cloud deployments in Azure and AWS.
How to use both Azure and AWS.
RightScale Webinar: Operationalize Your Enterprise AWS Usage Through an IT Ve...RightScale
We’ve all seen the trend everywhere around us: customers want self-service. It offers them the agility they need and gives businesses the ability to scale and lower their costs.

A Technology Backgrounder to Serverless Architecture - A Whitepaper by RapidV...RapidValue
The concept of serverless architecture may not be very new but lately, it has been observed to be an emerging
trend in the cloud. The reason behind this is the simple fact that it has simplified life for developers by providing
them with ample time to code instead of using it to set up servers. The servers are set up by the cloud service
providers and this eliminates the need for managing anything else except for the environment in which it has
to execute. The benefits of employing serverless architecture are being talked about and businesses are on an
endeavor to leverage the function’s code that has to be uploaded along with it configuring it for maximum
output.
AWS offers a variety of data migration services and tools to help you easily and rapidly move everything from gigabytes to petabytes of data.

Introduction to AWS Cloud Computing | AWS Public Sector Summit 2016Amazon Web Services
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides on-demand computing resources and services in the cloud, with pay-as-you-go pricing. This session provides an overview and describes how using AWS resources instead of your own is like purchasing electricity from a power company instead of running your own generator. Using AWS resources provides many of the same benefits as a public utility: Capacity exactly matches your need, you pay only for what you use, economies of scale result in lower costs, and the service is provided by a vendor experienced in running large-scale networks. A high-level overview of AWS’s infrastructure (such as AWS Regions and Availability Zones) and AWS services is provided as part of this session.
Going Cloud Native - It Takes a PlatformChip Childers
There is a lot of buzz about “cloud native.” Becoming cloud native means changing how we think about, develop, and deploy applications. This shift impacts the structure of organizations, as teams align to common business outcomes.
Chip Childers explains why a successful cloud native approach requires a platform: a platform allows you to rethink how IT supports the application development teams. Chip explores what it means to be truly cloud native, what it takes to get there, and how a platform can make it all work.
Leading organizations around the globe are realizing that going cloud native has moved from a buzz-phrase to a business imperative. But many are wondering: How do I get there? What does it mean for IT? What even is this “cloud native” thing? Doesn’t using containers get me there?
Going cloud native means rethinking how we organize and deliver software. It means changing the structure of our organizations. It requires platform level thinking about how IT supports application teams. Most importantly, it requires focusing on time to business value.
In this session, you’ll learn what it means to be truly “Cloud Native”, why your organization needs to make the change, and how Cloud Foundry is the right platform for cloud native applications.
Cloud foundry: The Platform for Forging Cloud Native ApplicationsChip Childers
It wasn’t too long ago that artisans, bathed in the glow of molten metal, forged parts that would go on to make up bigger, more powerful machines. Today, we call those artisans developers. Instead of metal, they use bits and bytes in the cloud to forge a modern application architecture that supports public, private and hybrid application deployment. One that enables users and developers to move their applications wherever they need to go. And it’s built on a growing, vibrant ecosystem.
Nowhere is this epic shift in how things are made more visible than the meteoric adoption of Cloud Foundry. In this talk, Chip Childers, VP of Technology for Cloud Foundry Foundation, will give attendees an inside look at the industry movements and the technological requirements that are driving Cloud Foundry's rapid adoption. Most importantly, he will walk through how organizations are responding to the challenge of continuous innovation, what's driving modern application architectures, and how the Cloud Foundry platform uses specific constraints in order to fulfill it's promise to application owners.

For many years, the gold standard of business strategy has been the mantra “Sustainable competitive advantage.” But the world has changed. Moving forward, the mantra for survival must be “Continuous innovation.”
In this talk, I will take the audience inside the architectural foundation of a modern cloud native platform. I’ll walk through the tools they’ll use to deliver on the promise of continuous innovation — tools such as Docker, Lattice, Puppet, and Cloud Foundry. And I’ll show examples of how to use those tools to deliver the speed and portability businesses need to thrive in a cloud native world.

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.
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.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
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.

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).

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
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.
DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.

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.

1. Making the Move from
IaaS to IaaS+

2. IaaS+
Acronym
1) a combination of IaaS with additional application
layer modular services in a cohesive service offering
2) IaaS + all the other stuff that developers want
3. Huh?
Lets take a real example: AWS
IaaS(EC2, S3) + RDS + Dynamo + SQS = IaaS+
4. Which AWS service had the fastest adoption for
a new service after 5 months?

DynamoDB
6. Cloud and hosting spending by application type

7. So why do developers care?
• Modularity – Architectural choice!
• Abstraction – Who actually wants to configure
database backups themselves?
• Shiny tech – Yep, because devs like shiny
objects.
8. Let’s focus on Database as a Service
85% of CumuLogic customers start with DBaaS when moving to IaaS+
9. 451 Research estimated that DBaaS services
based on MySQL will grow at a CAGR of 81%
from 2012 to 2016

But this doesn’t account for private cloud
environments…
13. Service Providers:
• It’s the new “bar” that clouds are measured on
• If you do it, it increases IaaS consumption
• If you don’t do it, you might finding a shrinking
addressable market
14. Enterprise Private Clouds:
• Solves: “I have a shiny private cloud… why aren’t the
LOB devs using it?”
• Automates 75-90% of manual operational tasks for
services offered in the “as a service” model
• You get architectural choice, including the potential
for AWS repatriation
