PKS: The What and How of Enterprise-Grade KubernetesVMware Tanzu
SpringOne Platform 2017
Cornelia Davis, Pivotal; Fred Melo, Pivotal
Because of its well thought out and powerful abstractions, robust and cloud-native architecture, and the vibrant community around it, the use of Kubernetes for containerized workloads has surged. And while Kubernetes is theoretically ready to run applications in production, the actual viability is highly dependent on how Kubernetes itself is managed. In this session Cornelia and Fred will cover role of the container orchestration system in your IT landscape, and they’ll dive under the covers to show how it provides the enterprise-class Kubernetes services you need to trust your most critical workloads to it. Yes, technical details revealed!

Enterprise Java on Azure: From Java EE to Spring, we have you coveredEd Burns
Ed Burns brings his seventeen years of server side Java experience to bear on the topic of Enterprise Java on Microsoft Azure. Before the advent of cloud infrastructure, the stack was the main thing. This gave rise to many entertaining platform wars, and even personality feuds among the principals. Spring or J2EE? Spring MVC or JSF (or Struts/Wicket/Tapestry/WebWork...)? Spring REST or JAX-RS? Spring DI or CDI? Spring Boot or MicroProfile? Single-vendor proprietary de-facto standard or multi-vendor community developed standard? Ed has seen these "wars" come and go, and even fought in some of them. While "wars" make for great conference talks, blog posts, and articles, at the end of the day creating business value is the whole point of enterprise Java. Ed contends that nowadays, the cloud vendor is the main thing, and the best cloud vendor is one that best supports "all of the above", from lift and shift of existing workloads, to lift and modernize, on through to turn-key PaaS solutions.
This session will briefly survey the history of enterprise Java to establish the need for an "all of the above" enterprise cloud platform, examine some ways enterprises can use the current offerings from Microsoft Azure, and give a peek into what's in store in the near future.
Pivotal Cloud Foundry 2.6: A First LookVMware Tanzu
Join Dan Baskette and Jared Ruckle for a view into Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) 2.6 capabilities with demos and expert Q&A. We’ll review the latest features for Pivotal’s flagship app platform, including:
CUSTOM SIDECAR PROCESSES (BETA)
In Pivotal Application ServiceⓇ 2.6 (PAS), developers can run custom sidecar processes in the same container as their application. This simplifies development for all kinds of “wire” use cases, including proxy forwarding, client-side load balancing, timeouts, and retries.
MULTI-CLOUD CONTINUOUS DELIVERY WITH SPINNAKER
PCF now integrates nicely with the most popular CD tool, Spinnaker. Spinnaker 1.14 now supports several advanced CD scenarios with PCF. As a result, large development teams can more easily deploy to production to improve outcomes. Use Spinnaker with PAS as well as Enterprise PKSⓇ. (This integration is backed by community support.)
NEW PERMISSIONS MODEL IN CONCOURSE FOR PCF (coming soon) Concourse for PCF 5.2 will include a powerful new permissions model to better segment access to build pipelines. The new release will add compatibility with CredHub for secrets management as well.
MULTI-DATACENTER REPLICATION CAPABILITIES FOR MySQL (coming soon) MySQL for PCF 2.7 will add multi-DC replication capabilities as a beta feature. This will offer more stability and scalability for your database apps.

Back to the Future: Containerize Legacy ApplicationsDocker, Inc.
People typically think of Docker for microservices and try to make the smallest container they can. There are tremendous benefits to a microservices model but those are not the only apps that qualify for containers. Traditional, homegrown, monolithic apps are also great candidates for Docker - why? By containerizing these apps, many of the same agility, portability, security and cost savings benefits can be applied to the hundreds (if not thousands) of apps in your datacenters. But where to begin? Attend this session to learn how to approach modernizing traditional apps (MTA), considerations, the available tools and possibilities.

Continuous Delivery: Fly the Friendly CI in Pivotal Cloud Foundry with ConcourseVMware Tanzu
Concourse is an open source continuous integration (CI) system designed for agile development teams. It supports developers that practice test-driven development and continuous delivery (CD) by automating a teams build-to-release process inclusive of all automated testing.
Concourse provides dependable results for each build run. It allows agile development teams to deliver business value at a much higher velocity. It allows teams to treat every code commit as if it’s about to be deployed to production.
In this webinar, we’ll talk about how teams’ practice agile development in relation to developing, testing and deploying apps in Cloud Foundry. We’ll also cover the role that Concourse plays in aiding high velocity delivery of applications.
Our agenda includes:
- What is CI / CD and how do these practices fit into Pivotal's development practices
- Overview of Concourse and how it differs from other CI / CD systems
- Why Pipelines are useful for continuously delivering apps to Pivotal Cloud Foundry
- Why containers are useful for continuously delivering apps to Pivotal Cloud Foundry
- Examples of how these concepts work in practice
- How to get started using Concourse to continuously deliver value

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.

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.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Automation
Platform Automation 4.0
● Goal: Continue to ensure support, as needed, for
upcoming Pivotal Platform releases.
○ Platform engineers can easily upgrade when
those versions become available.
● Version 4.0 includes a new pre-deploy-check that
validates that Ops Manager and its staged products
are configured correctly.

configurations before applying changes to a
production environment.
○ It works with Ops Manager version 2.6 and
higher.
31. Platform Recovery
Speed
Savings
● Selective backups: Platform
Operators can choose which
blobstores to backup

PASW 2012 R2 End of Availability **Sept 31, 2019**
In line with delivering the best experience for Windows workloads on
Pivotal Platform, the 2012 R2 stack is being retired. Please talk to your
customers to discuss migration and upgrade strategy.
‘-s windows2016’ is deprecated (as of PASW 2.5).
In PASW 2.8 the windows2016 stack will no longer work. Use ‘-s
windows’ instead. You may run `cf buildpacks` to verify that you have
the `windows` associated stack.
View a video on how to change the stack, here.
