As time goes on more OSes are getting Dom0 support, so there's a growing need to provide a platform independent set of tools from which to operate Xen. This talk will expose the different mechanisms used on NetBSD that diverge from the Linux approach, and how Xen is improving its userspace tools to provide a more platform independent support.
The talk also touches upon various features that BSD provides or plans to provide with Xen, thus presenting a coherent roadmap view of where we've come from, and what lies ahead.

Ceph Day Santa Clara: The Future of CephFS + Developing with LibradosCeph Community
Sage Weil, Creator of Ceph, Founder & CTO, Inktank
CephFS is a distributed filesystem built on RADOS, offering POSIX-semantics and a true scale-out architecture. While production deployments of CephFS do exist, it still needs lots of testing and hardening before it can be used in the most challenging (and interesting) scenarios. In this session, Sage will discuss the future of CephFS, includ- ing the areas where it still needs work and ways the community can help.
RADOS is a surprisingly flexible object store. To take advantage of its rich feature set, developers can build with its programmable library, librados. Librados is avail- able in many languages, and offers access to key/value stores, object classes, cluster health and status, and other useful RADOS internals. This session will cover how to use librados, discuss situations where librados is the right choice, and share a list of lesser-known RADOS features that developers can tap into.

Storage 101: Rook and Ceph - Open Infrastructure Denver 2019Sean Cohen
Starting from the basics, we explore the advantages of using Rook as a Storage operator to serve Ceph storage, the leading Software-Defined Storage platform in the Open Source world. Ceph automates the internal storage management, while Rook automates the user-facing operations and effectively turns a storage technology into a service transparent to the user. The combination delivers an impressive improvement in UX and provides the ideal storage platform for Kubernetes.
A comprehensive examination of use cases and open problems will complement our review of the Rook architecture. We will deep-dive into what Rook does well, what it does not do (yet), and what trade-offs using a storage operator involves operationally. With live access to a running cluster, we will showcase Rook in action as we discuss its capabilities.

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.

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.

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).

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.
