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.
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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.

and high-risk areas (e.g. Côte d’Ivoire) - early stages
• Outreach and awareness raising in key markets for 3T
and gold (e.g. China, India)– ongoing, more needed
• Bi-annual meetings of the ICGLR-OECD-UN GoE Forum
on Responsible Mineral Supply Chains
8. Forward-looking Forum agenda
• Continue with implementation in 3T
and gold:
– Strengthen and support initiatives
– Understand and assess effectiveness
• Recognising that other natural
resources may be linked to conflict:
–
–
–
–
–
Precious stones and other minerals
Timber, wildlife and fisheries
Oil & Gas
Water
Etc.
9. Principles for expanding scope of
future work of the Forum
• Align with other initiatives and avoid duplication
• Seek relevant expertise
• Foster cross-learning from other initiatives and
resources
• Expansion should not come at the cost of current
implementation programme
• Any expansion in scope will require resources and time,
and must be demand driven
• Any recommendations will need to be considered by the
responsible OECD bodies
10. Future Forum meetings and priority
work areas
• Thematic vs. supply chain focus
– Option 1: One meeting per year open to all participants (Gold and 3T), and
second meeting focused on either Gold or 3T
– Option 2: One day of each meeting looking at the issues for both Gold and
3T, and spending the other 2 days on either Gold or 3T issues
• Upstream vs. downstream
– Option: One meeting per year open to all participants (Gold and 3T) full
supply chain, and second meeting focused on either upstream (Gold and
3T) or downstream (Gold and 3T) participants
• Other geographic focus
– Option: One meeting in Paris, one meeting in the African Great Lakes
region and beyond (e.g. West Africa, Latin America, Asia)
