You may have heard of Microsoft Viva, two of the four Viva products have shipped, but many are still confused about how it fits in with Microsoft’s initiatives. Did you know Viva is entirely built on Teams?
Teams is the fastest-growing product in Microsoft history with over 150 million active daily users. The Microsoft Viva product lines are the killer apps for “Teams as a Platform”.
In this information webinar, we will help you understand the Teams platform investment as Microsoft’s modern workplace, digital transformation to cloud innovation, and show you how Microsoft is taking their own advice in building solutions to empower, and engage, employees.
With the collision of communication and collaboration, it’s time to catch up on how the World has changed and “Teams as a Platform”, with killer apps, has engaged the enterprise, business teams, and personal productivity.
In this informative webinar, you will learn the following:
Understand how Microsoft Viva fits into Teams as a Platform. See how Viva Connections provides the plumbing for next generation intranets, global navigation, and hubs.
Experience Modern Teamwork, enhanced by governance, and discovery, through the Valo Solutions Collaboration Stack and the Valo Productivity Stack.
See Viva in context, for clear examples, of employee engagement and employee experience systems.
Follow the latest Microsoft Directions and see the updated Microsoft 365 Roadmap.
See “Teams as a Platform” in action using the rich Valo Solutions to extend how you get to the places where you work and the people you work with.
Microsoft Viva. Viva is an employee experience platform that empowers people and teams to be their best, from anywhere.
Viva brings together communications, insights, knowledge, and learning within the flow of everyday work and collaboration, in Microsoft Teams.
Microsoft Teams is where most remote and hybrid work happens these days. And, Teams has become a hub where we can bring all these resources together into an integrated system of engagement – what Gartner calls a new work nucleus or digital workplace hub.
Importantly, with Microsoft 365 we already have foundational capabilities in each of these areas like Yammer, SharePoint, Stream, Workplace Analytics, Microsoft Search, LinkedIn, Glint and more.
Microsoft Viva builds on this foundation by adding innovative new services and insights focused on people development and success.
Connections is a company branded employee app in Teams. It is a gateway to your employee experience, with personalized news, communications, tasks, people and resources. It provides a single curated employee destination that can be configured for specific roles like frontline workers. So, leaders can communicate and engage their employees, and employees can get easy access to the tools and resources they need from one place.. Connections builds on existing capabilities in Microsoft 365 like SharePoint and Yammer. And it pulls your communications together into a pre-configured app in Teams, designed for both desktop and mobile workers. It also acts as a launching pad to the other 3 Viva modules
Insights brings together Workplace Analytics, MyAnalytics and Glint into a unified insights app in Teams to provide data-driven and privacy-protected insights for individuals, managers and leaders. For example, employees get personalized insights, only they can see, that help them protect their time for breaks, focused work, and learning in order to promote improved productivity and wellbeing.
Topics focuses on knowledge and expertise. Topics applies AI to identify knowledge and experts and organize them into shared topics. AI automatically creates a topic page for each topic. It’s like Wikipedia for the enterprise where AI does the first draft. And these topic pages are surfaced as Topic Cards right in the flow of work in Office and Teams.
Finally, Learning allows employees to easily discover informal and formal learning in the flow of work. It aggregates content from LinkedIn Learning, Microsoft Learn and 3rd party training content and your own organizations content – all in one place. Along with providing aggregation and recommendations, it also allows managers to assign and track training, as well as report on training within and across teams.

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.

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.

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).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

experts. Topics make it easier to
find people based on skills,
projects, and expertise. When you

of people who added the topic to
their profile.

Microsoft Viva (curated & AI –enriched experiences) built on top of and integrated with the foundational services of Microsoft 365 and extending your existing investments.
To address these issues, we’ve created Viva Topics. Topics builds on Microsoft 365 and applies AI to identify knowledge and experts from across your organization and categorise them into shared topics.
The AI not only organizes knowledge into topics, it also automatically creates topic pages for each topic. These topic pages are edited and approved by experts and then kept up to date by AI.
It’s like Wikipedia for the enterprise where AI does the first draft.
And, what’s also powerful, is that AI surfaces these topics as Topic Cards right within Teams, SharePoint and Office. So if you hover over an acronym or a project name, you get an immersive topic card that you can click on to get more details.
Because Viva Topics automatically organises content across your teams and systems to connect topics like projects, products, processes and customers, information is ready when and where you need it. Experts at the company can also help curate the information shown in Topics by sharing knowledge through simple, highly customisable web sites called Topic Pages.
Along with content from Microsoft apps & services, Topics also surfaces information from third-party services like ServiceNow. And Graph connectors make it easy to connect to even more content employees would find helpful.
Viva provides the privacy, security and compliance you expect from Microsoft 365, so you can trust that sensitive content always remains protected.
According to Forrester, conservative estimates suggest that this could save employees between 1 and 3 hours each week, just by reducing search time.

We’re bringing people and AI together in this solution.
First, topic identification uses AI to identify knowledge and people and automatically organize them into related topics
Then, we bring people, subject matter experts, specifically, to refine these topics through topic pages. AI takes in these inputs and enriches them.
Lastly, these topics are discoverable in the apps used every day through topic cards and Microsoft search. Our goal in knowledge discovery is to bring this knowledge to you, in-context to your work, just when you need it.
Viva Topics include Topic cards, Topic pages, and Topic centres features.
