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.
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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

My v mware solutions home lab
1. My VMware Solutions Home Labby Brian Drew There have been many questions from many sources asking the same thing – how can I build an economical but practical home lab to evaluate, learn and test VMware solutions? I built one that I believe, and those that know it believe, meets the requirements quite well without breaking the bank. It is detailed in this slide deck.
2. Overview Physical Components Software Components Next Steps Agenda The flow of this deck will proceed in the order above. The information in here is not meant to be an exhaustive how-to manual but rather represent what I used to build a fully-functional vSphere environment that allows for testing of many VMware solutions including View, Capacity IQ, Update Manager, and of course vSphere functions like HA, vMotion and DRS. I’ve done it using VMware Workstation with ESX/i as virtual servers as well and that works, to a degree. I discovered that for my purposes a physical, more real-world environment was best.
3. When all is done my core vSphere environment looks like this. You can see that DRS, HA, and vMotion are fully operational. If I had room for another screen shot you’d see that the cluster memory at about 50%. So will this environment do everything – no. Will it do a lot of things – absolutely. Overview
5. More detail of network and storage Physical components continued
6. ESXi 4.1 – don’t use ESX, use ESXi SQL - can use xpress but I use dedicated MS SQL 2008 on a virtual machine AD , DNS & DHCP (for View) – on Windows VM (I point NTP at pool.ntp.org so don’t need my own) vCenter Server – dedicated VM Update Manager – if using can install on vCenter server. I build dedicated VM. View 4.6 – I’m a VDI guy so built out View also. You install Composer on the vCenter server. You can see these again in the OVERVIEW slide above. Software components
7. ESXi installation - as servers didn’t come with DVD I used PXE boot, scripted option. More complex but more real-world. Once 1 ESXi server built (or do both at same time, what ever), connect directly to it with vSphere Client to create SQL server. Need SQL running before installing vCenter. Using vSphere Client, connect to ESXi host again and build vCenter server. Suck your ESXi hosts into vCenter. Software components continued
8. Configure/add storage – carve up on external disk if you have it then in vCenter create iSCSI connections and create VMFS datastores or NFS, etc. Configure networking – configure on-board ports as vMotion network and Intel add-on with virtual machine network Create cluster, add hosts, enable HA and/or DRS Start testing Next Steps
9. Let me know what questions you might have. Clearly I’ve assumed a lot of knowledge here. All of the detail is in the VMware docs on how to do what. The PXE piece is a bit dicey the first time. You’ll need DHCP and I used IIS for the binaries. You need an TFTP server too. I used Tftpd32. Here’s a screen shot of my PXE boot/scripted ESXi installation environment to help. Next steps continued
