That being said, here's a copy of the slide deck. :)
OpenStack Days East -- MySQL Options in OpenStackMatt Lord
In most production OpenStack installations, you want the backing metadata store to be highly available. For this, the de facto standard has become MySQL+Galera. In order to help you meet this basic use case even better, I will introduce you to the brand new native MySQL HA solution called MySQL Group Replication. This allows you to easily go from a single instance of MySQL to a MySQL service that's natively distributed and highly available, while eliminating the need for any third party library and implementations.
If you have an extremely large OpenStack installation in production, then you are likely to eventually run into write scaling issues and the metadata store itself can become a bottleneck. For this use case, MySQL NDB Cluster can allow you to linearly scale the metadata store as your needs grow. I will introduce you to the core features of MySQL NDB Cluster--which include in-memory OLTP, transparent sharding, and support for active/active multi-datacenter clusters--that will allow you to meet even the most demanding of use cases with ease.
Oracle RAC - A Safe Investment into the Future of Your ITMarkus Michalewicz
This presentation reviews the evolution of Oracle RAC, the problems that it solves and the challenges that it faced. It also includes a high level outlook of the future development of Oracle RAC for you to realize that this isn't the first time that the benefits of Oracle RAC were challenged and yet no new technology was entirely able to solve all the problems it solves, while RAC has always successfully tackled the challenges with which it was faced.

Migrate from Oracle to Aurora PostgreSQL: Best Practices, Design Patterns, & ...Amazon Web Services
In this session, we show you how to set the source Oracle database environment, the target PostgreSQL environment, and parameter group configuration. We also recommended database parameters to disable foreign keys and triggers. Finally, we discuss best practices for using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) and AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) and show you how to choose the instance type and configure AWS DMS.
What are DevOps Application Patterns on AWS…and why do I need them?DevOps.com
What are application patterns on AWS and how does DevOps play a key role in their creation? DevOps covers a diverse set of behaviors, practices, tools and topics.
This webinar will discuss DevOps as an enabler of a new approach to the AWS cloud that reduces time to deploy, lowers cost, improves workload visibility, and simplifies the cloud journey. We’ll discuss: Building applications in AWS and how DevOps engineers adjust their approach for AWS, how Application Patterns are becoming common place in DevOps teams, which Application Patterns are trending right now, how to manage Application Patterns after deployment, and we’ll introduce CXOS, a new platform for AWS that that simplifies the deployment and management of production ready Application Patterns.
This presentation is based on a real life experience migrating Oracle E-Business Suite production to AWS.
We will talk about:
- Certification basics. Overview on supported configurations.
- How to build. Recommendations based on migration and 2 year production runtime experience.
- Advanced configurations.
- R12.2.
- Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud review. Quick comparison outline of main alternative platforms. How ready is Oracle's own cloud service.
- Scaling.
This is a very client demanding topic. Many are looking into cloud migration options and how they can optimize the cost compared to the on-premise hosting, and many misunderstand the complexity of Oracle EBS stack being capable for cloud deployment.

Driving DevOps for Oracle with the orawls Puppet ModulesSimon Haslam
Administrators these days have a rich choice of tools for automating the provisioning of their Oracle platforms - and one popular choice is Puppet. However the tool only provides a framework for scripting and changing the state of a server - on top of this you need a run-time configuration that uses the framework to install specific products, such as the Oracle software and domain configuration. This is where Edwin Biemond's "orawls" modules come in.
This presentation will discuss what the orawls modules do out of the box, how to use them and the configuration layer you need to create on top to tailor the installation to your own topology. It will allow you to use this open source software to build your own FMW environments fully automatically.
First presented by Simon Haslam (eProseed) and Arturo Viveros (SYSCO) at OUG Norway conference in March 2017.
One of the key challenges for all public cloud providers, not just Oracle, is how to securely and reliably connect cloud services to their customers’ existing systems. This presentation provides an impartial view of Oracle Network Cloud’s three offerings, with a more detailed drill down into the VPN available for shared compute cloud.
First delivered by Simon Haslam on 6 December 2016 at the UKOUG Tech16 conference
SSL, more strictly called Transport Layer Security (TLS), is a means to encrypt data that is in flight between software components, whether within your data center or between that and your end users' devices. This prevents eavesdroppers seeing confidential information, such as credit card numbers or database passwords, and ensures that components are communicating with who they they think they are. So why isn't SSL/TLS used for all electronic communications? Firstly it is, almost by definition, "slightly tricky" to configure and errors are not terribly informative when things don't work (why would you help a hacker?!). Secondly there is a performance overhead for running TLS, although with modern hardware this is probably less of a concern than it used to be.
This session describes how to configure TLS at all layers within a Fusion Middleware stack - from the front-end Oracle HTTP Server, right through to communications with the database.
This platform was first given by Simon Haslam (eProseed UK) and Jacco Landlust (ING) at the OGh Fusion Middleware Experience event in February 2016.
Oracle Traffic Director - a vital part of your Oracle infrastructureSimon Haslam
Load balancing is a critical, but widely overlooked, component of a resilient Fusion Middleware platform. Oracle's premium product in this area is called Traffic Director (OTD), which is a software load balancer, something akin to BIG-IP VE or NetScaler VPX. Previously OTD has only been available on Exalogic or the Oracle Database Appliance (ODA) but, as from the Fusion Middleware 12.2.1 release last October, it is now available on conventional systems as part of the WebLogic multi-tenant license. Therefore, sooner or later, many Oracle infrastructure specialists are likely to have to configure OTD.This presentation will describe the architecture of OTD, the administration differences between 11g and 12c, how it is used on Exalogic and ODA, and how it fits into the wider WebLogic world. We will use examples for SOA, Enterprise Manager and plain WebLogic clusters to highlight OTD features.
This presentaiton was first given by Simon Haslam (eProseed UK) and Jacco Landlust (ING) at the OGh Fusion Middleware Experience event in February 2016.
Java & SOA Cloud Service for Fusion Middleware AdministratorsSimon Haslam
Oracle's lower level PaaS services offer all the power and flexibility of Oracle software but run as a managed service in the Oracle Cloud. For example, Java Cloud Service runs WebLogic, Traffic Director and Coherence for you, whereas SOA Cloud Service is the equivalent for SOA Suite, Service Bus and API Manager.
Does this mean your job as a Fusion Middleware Administrator will disappear? No, far from it - you'll be able to put your skills to far more valuable use! Instead of worrying about how much hardware you need, tracking down patches, or just keeping the systems running, with JCS and SOA CS your focus will be different: liaising with your development teams to deploy new versions of applications safely into production, shaking out and fixing performance issues, scheduling patching and planning for future growth while maintaining consistent service levels - all tasks of high value to your users.
In this session hear an administrator's view of full Java Cloud Service (i.e. not just JCS SaaS Extension) and its, recently launched, sibling SOA Cloud Service. This presentation will also include a live "under the covers" demo of SOA CS, and discuss findings of a recent survey carried out amongst the presenter's production administrator friends. Come along to find out how these Oracle Cloud Services can work for you!
This presentation was given by Simon Haslam at the UKOUG Tech15 conference in Birmingham UK on 8th December 2015.
Ten Real-World Customer Configurations on Oracle Database Appliance Simon Haslam
Oracle Database Appliance is a powerful machine, yet its name hides its versatility. Certainly, it provides a great place to run Oracle databases but given that it runs virtualization, it also offers much more for the Oracle-centric platform builder. This session presents 10 different real-world customer implementations from various database configurations, to middleware infrastructures such as Oracle WebLogic and Oracle SOA Suite, through to application deployments like Oracle’s E-Business Suite. For each example in this session the approach chosen is discussed—as well as lessons learned—to provide the audience with a clear path for moving forward with Oracle Database Appliance.
What should I do now?! JCS for WebLogic AdminsSimon Haslam

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.

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.
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.
