The document discusses moving biodiversity data and tools to cloud computing. It lists several public biodiversity data sets that could be hosted on the cloud, like occurrence data from GBIF and the Atlas of Living Australia. It also lists examples of open-source bioinformatics tools that could be run through cloud computing platforms, such as Maxent, MrBayes, and BlastReduce. Finally, it suggests some methodologies could be developed for analyzing biodiversity data using cloud-based resources and tools.

Building A Scalable Open Source Storage SolutionPhil Cryer
The Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), like many other projects within biodiversity informatics, maintains terabytes of data that must be safeguarded against loss. Further, a scalable and resilient infrastructure is required to enable continuous data interoperability, as BHL provides unique services to its community of users. This volume of data and associated availability requirements present significant challenges to a distributed organization like BHL, not only in funding capital equipment purchases, but also in ongoing system administration and maintenance. A new standardized system is required to bring new opportunities to collaborate on distributed services and processing across what will be geographically dispersed nodes. Such services and processing include taxon name finding, indexes or GUID/LSID services, distributed text mining, names reconciliation and other computationally intensive tasks, or tasks with high availability requirements.

CartoSet is a new Open Source framework to develop great geospatial websites. Based on the experience by Vizzuality developing highly visual geospatial websites, like protectedplanet.net, CartoSet is a Ruby on Rails framework based on CartoDB. Despite the number of existing geoportal websites none of them allow the creation of highly customized interfaces. On the other hand libraries like geoRuby provide great foundation but still it takes too much time to develop nice websites. CartoSet is a FOSS framework in the middle, allowing great customization but providing an easy building block for agile developers.

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.

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.
