Accelerate Your Cloud Computing Career PathSoumya Suman
This ppt is about Cloud Computing Career Path. It will tell you about what, why, and how should you start your Cloud Computing career path. And also resources to develop Cloud Computing skills.
The Cloud is creating a “perfect storm” in the Channel business. A lot of the value Partners used to offer Customers is now available through the Cloud without them- Email, Collaboration, Storage and even Authentication!
Not only that, but the shift from traditional licenses, Cap-Ex and Maintenance revenue to Op-Ex or Subscription revenue is wreaking major havoc with profitability and cash flow. If your business is geared towards big, lumpy sales, with healthy margins, shifting to a smaller recurring income is going to disrupt the business model.
And because the technology is changing, to be less technical, with more technical detail abstracted away, the skills partners have been investing in for years are becoming obsolete. The people that provided that service aren’t needed anymore.
But I think the Channel is too quick to look to doom and gloom. They mustn’t forget their USP’s.
They’ve got great TRUST with real customers that pay them actual money.
The stuff Cloud providers CRAVE. They have in fact got a head start in the Cloud Business because the Economics of Cloud are so hard, as they’re discovering for themselves. But the reason Cloud Economics are hard is because it costs Cloud providers money to acquire customers. The Channel has the customers already. There is a perfect fit here if the channel can get to grips with the model.
So what does the Channel need to do to transform? Here is my top ten:
1. Construct a Portfolio of Cloud Services
2. Start eating their own Dog Food- using Cloud their own business
3. Sell Support for Cloud Services- It won’t fix itself
4. Add Services around Cloud- It won’t configure itself
5. Cross Sell, Up Sell- Keep that IT budget but deliver more
6. Do Due Diligence on Cloud Providers- They aren’t all the same
7. Guide Cloud in to Networks Safely- and securely
8. Start Delivering On-Ramp Cloud Services Today- because that is where demand is
9. Leverage On-Prem and Cloud for “Hybrid” Solutions- drive ROI with existing networks
10. Focus on Business Transformation- The future is less IT and more Business
As my good friend Anders Trolle-Schultz says- It’s no longer about “How IT” but “Why IT”.
The 2016 State of Cloud IT Report by BetterCloud
The Cloud Changes Everything
Work as we know it is transforming. Today, all businesses are technology enabled, regardless of size, industry, or location. But merely using technology no longer guarantees you remain competitive. As digital natives flood the global workforce, businesses are met with a decision: resist new norms or provide the latest technology to their employees.
We are in the midst of a technological shift not seen since the launch of Microsoft Office and the invention of the Internet. The world of IT is at a tipping point, and at the center are IT professionals experiencing once-in-a-career shifts in their roles and responsibilities. For years, IT has been mischaracterized as solely an internal support team; if something breaks, IT is there with the fix. In 2016, IT professionals are beginning to offload their routine work to cloud software and service providers, giving them more time to focus on strategic work.
The skills required to be a successful IT professional in the modern, cloud-first workplace are far different than they once were. Cloud IT is coming of age, and it’s going to affect every organization and IT professional in the world, much faster than you think.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
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.

We a true born in cloud business and we living the dream
We a true born in cloud business and we living the dream
More than 200 customers and 6,500 users to the Cloud in 2014 alone
And we are living the dream and boast things like having the UK’s leading Customer Immersion Experience
A showroom that demonstrates how modern business use technology
We will talk about these three things – our journey to the cloud. Forward email. Email about the client.
Number 1
If you were to start your business today, you would do it differently. And it is about where you are now, and utopia, that is what are interested in.
We plot that journey with you
Because that journey is the difference between a good company, and a leading company, and that is what we want for our clients
Because that journey is the difference between a good company, and a leading company, and that is what we want for our clients
Like most thing its starts with a plan, however most companies are focused on the end result that they cause damage
So our goal is to reduce negative impacts
That all said the most important thing to understand is that all of these ideas are great but when transformation your business you need to consider the People first, then then processes and then the technology.
You have to focus on making your users happy
This happens through consumption
We say it a lot within our business but IT is now moving a what we call Cloud Speed. IT is changing and it is changing at a rate that we have never seen before. I remember saying 20 years ago that the next generation of people coming in to commerce will change the game as they’ve grown up with IT. That time has come and we are seeing seismic changes in businesses and their requirements.
And accessing data is not just the only point, people no longer want to be tied to an office, in fact some people work better when they aren’t in the office. I personally work best when I’m in a coffee shop with my oversized headphones on and no interruptions. Our businesses need to adopt this culture and empower our staff to work whey they want. Whether that be
On a beach
At home
Or in a coffee shop
This is very important for the modern age
Compliance, Compliance, DR Plan, Faster, Win more business.
We have plotted their roadmap
With the correct cloud solution the MD saves gains over 10 hours a week.
This is one of my favourite quotes and it is never more true than when it comes to technology.
This premise is sewn in to the DNA of Cloudamour and this is our mission to help our clients achieve this . Which is why we partner with people like Concur.
Here is some more of our success stories.
And you know what the common demoninator with everything that I have spoken about is? The Cloud. The Cloud makes everything possible and this is why Cloudamour was born. And as the name suggests we don’t just have an opinion on it, we love it.
