I dati al giorno d’oggi sono un elemento di estrema importanza e d’intrinseco valore per ogni entità. Per questo quando parliamo di Oracle Database facciamo riferimento al capitale della nostra azienda, sia essa pubblica che privata. Per poter sfruttare al massimo le potenzialità del database Oracle è però necessario avere a disposizione un’infrastruttura in grado di facilitarne l’accesso, di semplificarne la gestione, di proporzionare il livello di performance necessario al fine di garantire la scalabilità utile a mantenere queste condizioni nel tempo. Il costante cambiamento della società spinge le imprese ad aggiornarsi e, con il passare del tempo, questo processo comporta una crescita dei dati immagazzinati nei nostri Database con conseguente aumento della criticità degli stessi. Oracle Database Appliance è il sistema ingegnerizzato creato da Oracle per gestire in modo efficiente i propri Database, minimizzando lo sforzo necessario per il loro mantenimento e permettendo così di focalizzare i propri sforzi in attività direttamente relazionate con il core business. Durante la webinar analizzeremo use case pratici che dimostreranno come al giorno d’oggi sia possibile approfittare dei vantaggi offerti dall’Oracle Database Appliance per rispondere alle differenti necessità che la gestione di una complessa e performante infrastruttura IT possa richiedere.

AskTom: How to Make and Test Your Application "Oracle RAC Ready"?Markus Michalewicz
Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) is the preferred availability and scalability solution for Oracle Databases, as most applications can benefit from its capabilities without making any changes. This mini session explains the secrets behind Oracle RAC’s horizontal scaling algorithm, Cache Fusion, and how you can test and ensure that your application is “Oracle RAC ready.”
This deck was first presented in OOW19 as an AskTom theater / mini session and will be presented as a full version in other conferences going forward at which time I will provide an updated version of the deck.
Oracle Database Availability & Scalability Across Versions & EditionsMarkus Michalewicz
The Oracle Database provides a comprehensive set of availability and scalability features. The availability of those features, however, differs between versions and database editions (e.g. Standard and Enterprise Edition). This presentation reviews and discusses some of these capabilities across different versions and editions, on-premises and in the Oracle Cloud, including the recent change in support for Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) in the Oracle Standard Edition (SE)2.
Oracle RAC 19c - the Basis for the Autonomous DatabaseMarkus Michalewicz
Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) has been Oracle's premier database availability and scalability solution for more than two decades as it provides near linear horizontal scalability without the need to change the application code. This session explains why Oracle RAC 19c is the basis for Oracle's Autonomous Database by introducing some of its latest features, some of which were specifically designed for ATP-D, as well as by taking a peek under the hood of the dedicated Autonomous Database Service (ATP-D).
From HA to Maximum Availability - A Holistic Historical DiscussionMarkus Michalewicz
Keynote - first presented in course of the DOAG HA Day in Hamburg in September 2018. This deck discusses the Maximum Availability Architecture approach against the background of "Four More Often Than Not Disregarded HA Fundamentals" and also shares HA thoughts that eventually will lead to “Continuous Availability” rather than (just) “High Availability”.
This presentation addresses and tries to provide a reasonable answer to the rather common question: "Why should we still use an Oracle Database?", which more often than not is raised by management, but in the presence of more and more "alternative solutions", also by non-Oracle database administrators who are looking to solve a particular problem.
This is the first presentation of my "Oracle Fundamentals" presentation series.
Note that slide 35 (of 38) is outdated and should not have been included. Unfortunately, SlideShare does not allow for re-uploads anymore and hence, I will leave it in for now.
Presented the "A Cloud Journey - Move to the Oracle Cloud" on behalf of Ricardo Gonzalez during Bulgarian Oracle User Group Spring Conference 2019.

Oracle MAA Best Practices - Applications ConsiderationsMarkus Michalewicz
Providing the highest levels of availability is the main goal of Oracle's Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA), which has been available for more than two decades. This presentation looks at Oracle MAA from a slightly different angle, as MAA should really be considered by the DBA as well as by developers and even by non-Oracle customers.
The ever-changing IT industry requires DBA's to keep their skills up-to-date. This presentation discusses skills that any DBA should have, but also those that any DBA should obtain and nurture regardless of which new technology is entering the hype cycle.

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.
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).

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.
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.
