· Common risks to avoid when making changes to your network security devices
· How to better understand business requirements from the network security perspective
· How to accelerate change requests and ensure security and compliance using automation
Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) - 1st Workshop, Nov 5-7, 2019MichaelaIorgaPhD
Abstract:
Aligning security risk management and compliance activities with the broader adoption of cloud technology and the exponential increase in the complexity of smart systems leveraging such cloud solutions has been a challenging task to date. Additionally, the proliferation of container technology employed in cloud ecosystems for enhanced portability and security, compels organizations to leverage risk management strategies that are tightly coupled with the dynamic nature of their systems. NIST’s Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) is a standard of standards that provides a normalized expression of security requirements across standards, and machine-readable representation of security information from controls to system implementation and security assessment. This bridges the gap between antiquated approaches to IT compliance and innovative technology solutions.
Imagine a future where security documentation builds itself, and security management tools from different vendors integrate seamlessly. Security practitioners will spend less time on security documentation, assessments, and adjudication, yet the results of those activities will be more accurate and more easily monitored. OSCAL enables this and more.

Network Automation Journey, A systems engineer NetOps perspectiveWalid Shaari
Network devices play a crucial role; they are not just in the Data Center. It's the Wifi, VOIP, WAN and recently underlays and overlays. Network teams are essential for operations. It's about time we highlight to the configuration management community the importance of Network teams and include them in our discussions. This talk describes the personal experience of systems engineer on how to kickstart a network team into automation. Most importantly, how and where to start, challenges faced, and progress made. The network team in question uses multi-vendor network devices in a large traditional enterprise.
NetDevOps, we do not hear that term as frequent as we should. Every time we hear about automation, or configuration management, it is usually the application, if not, it is the systems that host the applications. How about the network systems and devices that interconnect and protects our services? This talk aims to describe the journey a systems engineer had as part of an automation assignment with the network management team. Building from lessons learned and challenges faced with system automation, how one can kickstart an automation project and gain small wins quickly. Where and how to start the journey? What to avoid? What to prioritise? How to overcome the lack of network skills for the automation engineer and lack of automation and Linux/Unix skills for network engineers. What challenges were faced and how to overcome them? What fights to give up? Where do I see network automation and configuration management as a systems engineer? What are the status quo and future expectations?

On the Application of AI for Failure Management: Problems, Solutions and Algo...Jorge Cardoso
Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) is a class of software which targets the automation of operational tasks through machine learning technologies. ML algorithms are typically used to support tasks such as anomaly detection, root-causes analysis, failure prevention, failure prediction, and system remediation. AIOps is gaining an increasing interest from the industry due to the exponential growth of IT operations and the complexity of new technology. Modern applications are assembled from hundreds of dependent microservices distributed across many cloud platforms, leading to extremely complex software systems. Studies show that cloud environments are now too complex to be managed solely by humans. This talk discusses various AIOps problems we have addressed over the years and gives a sketch of the solutions and algorithms we have implemented. Interesting problems include hypervisor anomaly detection, root-cause analysis of software service failures using application logs, multi-modal anomaly detection, root-cause analysis using distributed traces, and verification of virtual private cloud networks.

The document describes Oracle's MiniCluster S7-2 product. It is positioned as extending Oracle's SuperCluster family to smaller, mid-range workloads. Key points include that it provides 100% compatibility with SuperCluster applications and databases, but at a smaller scale and lower entry price point. It is designed to be easier to deploy, operate and manage than a full SuperCluster, with no need for specialized services. The MiniCluster features a virtual assistant for automated administration and security management to simplify operations.
Distributed intelligence using edge computing addresses challenges with centralized cloud computing like high latency and bandwidth usage. However, it introduces new security challenges with multiple providers and tenants. Solutions include encrypting all data, communications and keys; using technologies like TPM and SGX for secure execution; and reducing overhead of encryption through hardware accelerators to ensure security and performance in fog computing environments.

Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)Julian Hyde
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.

Why Apache Kafka Clusters Are Like Galaxies (And Other Cosmic Kafka Quandarie...Paul Brebner
Closing talk for the Performance Engineering track at Community Over Code EU (Bratislava, Slovakia, June 5 2024) https://eu.communityovercode.org/sessions/2024/why-apache-kafka-clusters-are-like-galaxies-and-other-cosmic-kafka-quandaries-explored/ Instaclustr (now part of NetApp) manages 100s of Apache Kafka clusters of many different sizes, for a variety of use cases and customers. For the last 7 years I’ve been focused outwardly on exploring Kafka application development challenges, but recently I decided to look inward and see what I could discover about the performance, scalability and resource characteristics of the Kafka clusters themselves. Using a suite of Performance Engineering techniques, I will reveal some surprising discoveries about cosmic Kafka mysteries in our data centres, related to: cluster sizes and distribution (using Zipf’s Law), horizontal vs. vertical scalability, and predicting Kafka performance using metrics, modelling and regression techniques. These insights are relevant to Kafka developers and operators.
