A Framework to Measure and Maximize Cloud ROIRightScale
While the agility, efficiency, and flexibility of cloud are easy to understand, calculating the ROI of cloud can be tricky. Yet nailing down ROI can be critical in helping enterprises to determine the right pace of cloud adoption. We’ll provide a framework to help you understand and quantify both cloud benefits and costs plus share real-world customer examples.
We know moving to the cloud may seem more costly than expected. Around 56% of IT decision-makers are facing challenges in maximizing long-term cloud cost savings (according to a Capita survey).
We described 6 issues to consider that may have an impact on your cloud migration project budget.
Scalability is one of the most popular and beneficial features of cloud computing.
When you move scaling into the cloud, you experience an enormous amount of flexibility that saves both money and time. When demand changes based on season, projects or growth, it’s easy to accommodate the new load. As things level out again, you can scale down accordingly.
Learn about the different types of scaling in the cloud.
Transforming Business for the Digital Age (Presented by Microsoft)Cloudera, Inc.
Digital transformation is not simply about technology—it requires business and government leaders to re-envision existing business models and embrace a different way of bringing together people, data, and processes to create value for their customers. The challenges facing businesses today are very familiar: engaging customers, empowering employees, optimizing operations, and transforming products.
What has changed is the unique convergence of increasing volumes of data from the digitization of our lives, the advancements in analytics and machine intelligence and the ubiquity of cloud computing which has shifted customer expectations and offers businesses opportunities to surpass those expectations and reinvent the value they offer.
This presentation explores the journey Microsoft is on with various different organisations from around the world as they Digitally Transform.

Everyone is talking about cloud computing and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) these days. Almost every technology vendor has announced a cloud strategy – even the traditional software zealots. But what do cloud computing and SaaS mean for product managers? The impacts are more significant than you may think. From pricing and profitability measurement to sales and marketing, cloud is having a noteworthy influence on the day-to-day activities of product managers.
The cloud platform is getting more and more attractive to the computing world. Azure is a new cloud system from Microsoft that allows applications to run from a remote connected system, hosted in a Microsoft data center, and store data in the cloud. The platform consists of three main parts – Development runtime, Azure runtime and Applications like SQL Azure. In this business focused session you will see the main business overview of this cloud platform.
Even as enterprise IT shops are deploying private clouds to increase agility and reduce costs, they are also increasing the number of workloads being run in public clouds in order to meet the dynamic needs of the business. This means that the role of “cloud broker” is now part of the CIO’s strategic posture as a partner with the business.

Cloud services are a reality for SMBs and they have specific needs when accessing the cloud. SMBs want to control their workspace, choose which applications to use; bring their own device (BYOD) and they require technology that enable their staff to work anywhere at any time.
The SMB working environment is becoming more productive and this has brought the need for improvements to flexibility, mobility and usability; SMBs are looking for enrichment of their cloud experience and prefer to purchase cloud applications from a single trusted vendor.
Currently cloud control panels are difficult to manage and lack focus on the end-user, not providing an enhanced user experience. These requirements are met with cloud applications and LuxCloud has the perfect solution to provision these services, automated and fast. When it comes to consuming cloud applications LuxCloud now has a unique product: Gateway4Cloud.

Maybe you can already recite the sales pitch for cloud computing in your sleep—how it’s faster, more flexible, and economical than amassing your own servers on site. But, as Joe Weinman argues in “Rethinking the Benefits of Cloud,” that’s just scratching the surface. In this exclusive white paper, Weinman, author of Cloudonomics: The Business Value of Cloud Computing, explores some of the overlooked—and more nuanced—business benefits of moving workloads to the cloud, such as faster innovation, global expansion, and customer satisfaction.

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.
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. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

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.
