Cloud computing is a pay-per-use model enabling convenient, on-demand network access to shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, services, storage, applications and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.
I work at Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source software solutions and the company ranked #23 Best Place to Work in 2014 by Glassdoor.com. I'm part of the Solution Engineering Team, responsible for developing innovative IT solutions that drive business value focusing on DevOps and Platform as a Service.
For the past 20 years, Red Hat's open source software development model has produced high-performing, cost-effective solutions. Our model mirrors the highly interconnected world we live in—where ideas and information can be shared worldwide in seconds. Today, more than 90% of Fortune 500 companies rely on Red Hat. We offer the only fully open technology stack, from operating system to middleware, storage to cloud and virtualization solutions. We also provide a variety of services, including award-winning support, consulting, and training.
Cloud Migration: Moving Data and Infrastructure to the CloudSafe Software
The movement to the cloud is accelerating across industries. This is driven by the maturing of cloud technology, and by the sudden shift to a more distributed and remote workforce.
The cloud has many strengths from no longer having to purchase and manage infrastructure to its ability to grow seamlessly and to scale up and down to meet demands.
With all these benefits, many organizations are preparing cloud migration strategies (such as on-premise to the cloud) and are finding themselves overwhelmed by the process.
There are many things to consider when planning a cloud migration but the process does not have to be complicated or costly due to private services. Join this webinar to learn how you get started with your cloud migration today!
Cloud migration is the process of transferring databases, applications, and IT processes into the cloud, or from one cloud to another. Migration in cloud computing has become quite popular among organizations as it offers anytime, anywhere access. Read this practical guide to cloud migration to know more.

Citrix unterscheidet wieder zwischen XenApp 7.5 und XenDesktop 7.5. Aber keine Angst, beide Produkte verwenden die gleiche Technologie wie in XenDesktop 7.1, die Flexcast-Management-Architektur. Also keine IMA-Dienste und Zonen-Data-Kollektoren mehr.
Neu wird es auch möglich sein, die Citrix-Lösungen in hybride oder öffentliche Clouds zu integrieren, wie zum Beispiel Amazon Web Services oder Windows Azure. Daneben werden auch andere Produkte wie AppDNA, Mobile Device Management oder die neuste Protokoll-Errungenschaft Framehawk in der kommenden Version je nach Lizenzversion integriert sein.

Session on CloudStack, intended for new users to CloudStack, provides an overview to varied audience levels information on usages, use cases, deployment and its architecture.
Edge computing has been gaining popularity as it defines a model that brings compute and storage closer to where they are consumed by the end-user. By being closer to the end-user a better experience can be provided with a reduction in overall latency, lower bandwidth requirements, lower TCO, more flexible hardware/software model, while also ensuring security and reliability. In this talk, Abhishek discusses aligning Apache CloudStack with this evolving cloud computing model and supporting Edge Zones, which can be also looked upon as lightweight zones, with minimal resources.
Abhishek Kumar is a committer of the Apache CloudStack project and has worked on the notable features such as VM ingestion, CloudStack Kubernetes Service, IPv6 support, etc. He works as a Software Engineer at ShapeBlue.

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.

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.
