Session Title: VMware Tanzu Application Service as an Integration Platform
Speakers: Manoj Thekumpurath, Sr. Manager at Deloitte; Siddharth Mehrotra, Senior Manager at Deloitte
The Linux operating system accounts for 90% of all servers provisioned in the cloud, thus its security becomes of the utmost importance. Proactively securing Linux becomes especially critical in order to protect against expanding cybersecurity threats. However, most Linux patching is traditionally disruptive and requires planning and downtime.
Oracle Cloud offers a number of services to help manage operating system security at a large scale: OS Management Service (to monitor and manage patching), Oracle Ksplice (for non-disruptive patching), Oracle Autonomous Linux (self-managed Linux operating system), and the Vulnerability Scanning Service (to scan hosts and containers).
This presentation starts with general operating system security concepts, as well as a brief overview of CVEs and zero-day vulnerabilities, and walks through each of the Oracle Cloud operating system security offerings. Multiple live demos will be accompanied during the presentation.
Infrastructure-as-Code, or IaC, has gained momentum in the past several years with the explosion of cloud computing. IaC helps automate and manage infrastructure provisioning of your cloud resources. Even small infrastructure footprints can benefit from IaC. It can become difficult to manage and maintain hundreds, if not thousands, of individual configuration settings in your infrastructure. Enter Terraform, an open-source IaC software tool created in 2014.
This presentation walks through the fundamentals of Terraform, and where and how it can benefit you in your cloud infrastructure provisioning. A live demo will showcase the provisioning of an entire Oracle Cloud infrastructure from scratch, in a matter of minutes, including compartments, networking, compute, and database, for both a development and production environments.
APIs are one of the main elements of cloud services. All major cloud service providers expose REST APIs to allow you to programmatically access their services and capabilities. SOAP and REST are the two most common ways of exposing APIs, whether to external, partner, cloud, or internal developers.
The concept of API management is to publish these web APIs for consumption, and includes capabilities such as monitoring, security, and documentation.
This presentation introduces basic concepts of APIs, API management, cloud REST services, and a brief walkthrough of WSO2 API Manager and the Oracle API Gateway to see how you can centrally publish, expose, and secure APIs, essentially virtualizing your backend services.
Automating Cloud Operations: Everything You Wanted to Know about cURL and RESTRevelation Technologies
All cloud service providers support seamless cloud automation and management through a REST API architecture allowing for single tasks or complex multi-step orchestrations to be created. REST has become the de facto standard for these cloud interfaces because of its ease of us, communication over HTTP, and wide support of nearly all programming languages and operating systems.
Where do you start? How do you decipher the API documentation? Where do you authenticate? And how do you create cloud resources programmatically?
This presentation walks through the fundamentals of REST, how its invoked through cURL, as well as a live demonstration of the automated provisioning of Oracle Cloud services through cURL/REST.

Introducing the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Best Practices FrameworkRevelation Technologies
As AWS became a viable cloud service provider with wide adoption, Amazon introduced back in 2015 the "AWS Well-Architected Framework" which provides architectural best practices across five pillars. Similarly, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) introduced their own "OCI Best Practices Framework." This framework covers best practices for four "business goals" that include: security and compliance, reliability and resiliency, performance and cost optimization, and operational efficiency. Learning about and adopting these recommended best practices help you design and operate cloud topologies that deliver maximum business value.
These best practices are the result of years of experience with thousands of cloud customers creating architectures that are meant to be secure, highly performant, resilient, and efficient. While not overly complex this framework can be intimidating for those newly embarking on their cloud journey; this presentation introduces the framework, walks through the business goals, and highlights some of the elements and strategies to give you a stronger idea of how this framework can benefit you.

Compute Cloud Performance Showdown: 18 Months Later (OCI, AWS, IBM Cloud, GCP...Revelation Technologies
In January 2019, our team conducted and published results of performance tests against leading compute cloud providers that included Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and IBM Cloud. Host, application server, and database performance were compared. Nothing alarming in the results were found; more powerful CPUs yielded better performance with the exception of Azure which generally underperformed. However, other non-performance related factors were found to affect the overall experience and cloud selection recommendations.
Now, 18 months later, we have ran the same series of tests against the same cloud service providers. In this presentation, we compare how each cloud provider has evolved in the past year and a half and share our findings and observations.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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:

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.
