The document discusses multi-enterprise business applications (MEBAs) that enable business processes across organizations. MEBAs require geographically distributed participants, high availability, security, and compliance. They are used in industries like supply chain management, commerce, and medical records exchange. The document outlines challenges with current technologies and proposes a reference architecture for MEBAs on Microsoft's Azure platform that provides services for integration, databases, and building consumer applications.
OpenText Live: Modeling your business processes to new ways of workingOpenText Portfolio
Â
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted workplaces and workforces globally, effecting production, distribution, delivery and sales. It has transformed the way we work, forcing business to evaluate, explore and hopefully improve its business processes. OpenText ProVision is an end-to-end solution for enterprise and business architecture and business process analysis that enables the transformation and improvement of business processes, by allowing you to translate business strategy and operational objectives into successful enterprise change.
Join this webinar to learn how to model your business process to new ways of working, and learn how to communicate process changes and plans by leveraging a single source of truth within your organization, allowing for collective decision making. Understand how process modeling can turn ideas into action by quickly collaborating on changes and projections of working environments.

What if you could build an application that could rapidly scale on-demand to meet high-volume traffic or spikes? What if you could do this without ever having to provision or manage a server, update an operating system, or worry about availability? With serverless computing, developers can focus on building great applications and services in a cost-effective manner without the operational overhead of traditional application development and deployment. Come learn how you can use AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, and other services to build the serverless applications of the future.

We need to focus on our core business, not on our support processes
We need agile, yet well governed support processes, but can’t do it ourselves
We need to clean up our procurement, contracting and asset management
We need sustainable working deliverables from procurement, contracting and projects in general
We need to scale / expand geographically
We need more capacity and to ramp up in response to a market need or project resource constraint
Benefits:
Focus on the right stuff- generating revenue through great service and products – not just great support services
Get cost efficient and optimised support or shared services
Fully auditable, transparent procurement, contracting, asset management and delivery assurance
Governance without fuss, delay or constraint
Scalable
Geographically unbound
Leading practice currency including agile and lean practices
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is a set of principles, practices, and organizational constructs that seek to balance the reliability of a service with the need to continually deliver new features. An error budget is the primary construct used to help balance these seemingly competing goals.
This is an introduction to error budgets and their components: service level indicators (SLIs) and service level objectives (SLOs). We will discuss the art of creating and implementing SLOs.
Attendees will be able to:
• Describe the key concepts, namely, Error Budget, Service Level Indicator (SLIs), and Service Level Objectives (SLOs)
• Recommend actions to take when the error budget is over consumed
• Recommend actions to take when excess error budget remains
In the spirit of DevOps, Error Budgets and SLOs work best when they are agreed to in collaboration with many different constituents across the business. As such, this presentation is appropriate for:
• Product Owners and Product Managers
• Business decision makers
• Developers
• Operators
• And anyone else interested in building and operating services that deliver business and customer value.

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