1. Automate everything by providing a simplified automation experience across bare-metal, VMs, and containers and enhanced management of automation content.
2. Automate everywhere by simplifying deployment and scaling of automation across environments through improved execution environments and controller architecture.
3. Automate for everyone by enhancing the developer experience and aligning automation with business processes at scale.
OSDC 2018 | Highly Available Cloud Foundry on Kubernetes by Cornelius SchumacherNETWAYS
This presentation will show how Cloud Foundry, the popular Platform as a Service framework, is deployed and configured to run in a highly available fashion on Kubernetes. It will show how to avoid single points of failures using Kubernetes features like stateful sets, readiness and liveness probes, etc. This includes how high availability extends to applications deployed by the end users of Cloud Foundry so they don’t have to worry about downtime. The presentation will include a demo of a disruptive agent simulating failures across the Kubernetes nodes and containers, while user applications are still alive and healthy. This presentation shows a real-life production use case for Kubernetes. This can be used as an example and to learn about the high-availability related features of Kubernetes. It also presents how the Kubernetes stack can be extended with Cloud Foundry to also cover the use case of Platform as a Service.

C418 - Build, Deploy and Manage Your First Open Pattern with PureApplication ...Hendrik van Run
Open patterns were introduced earlier this year as a strategic initiative to leverage open technologies to cloud enable complex middleware deployments and easily bring HEAT based content onto IBM Cloud. In this lab, you will get the opportunity to get hands-on experience with the Open Pattern Engine in PureApplication that runs on the Bluemix Local System. You will build, deploy and manage an open pattern using Blueprint Designer, Git repository and the PureApplication web console. You will also use OpenStack Horizon console to examine what happens under the covers in the OpenStack runtime. This lab will also help you compare open patterns with the more familiar Virtual System Patterns on PureApplication.

Creating Kubernetes multi clusters with ClusterAPI in the Hetzner CloudTobias Schneck
Based on Fabian’s talk, where we learned how to setup a Kubernetes cluster at Hetzner for small environments, Tobias and Alvaro will take a look to the approach to orchestrate and manage one or more cluster by the Cluster API project (a subproject of sig-cluster-lifecycle). The main idea behind it is to use the Kubernetes API itself to manage multiple clusters with there master and worker nodes in same way you would manage your PODs - define the needed resources and the responsible controller will take care for providing it.
After an overview about the concepts of cluster API, we will show what’s needed to implement a cluster API conform machine class/deployment on top of the Hetzner Cloud API. There we will see that adding your own provider isn’t that hard as you may aspect. At the end of the day it just requires a simple interface to implement. The corresponding controller is available as open source, so its possible to play around with it.
At least a final demo will show how easy it is to spin up and maintain multiple Kubernetes cluster in Hetzner (or other cloud/on-premise providers) over one managing seed cluster. A final wrap up will summarize the current state of the Cluster API project and the advantages of managing clusters as cattles instead of pets.

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.

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!
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
