Many professionals within IT organizations think that since the advent of Cloud, capacity management is no longer needed and that it’s provided by the Cloud provider. Although it’s true that Cloud providers will provide you with all the capacity you desire, it’s not the same as managing that capacity – or the resulting bill!
Migrating applications and services to the Cloud is not as straightforward as moving the workloads, databases and systems to a Cloud provider. Planning for this migration is challenging and can be very costly if not done correctly. Once in the Cloud, continued monitoring of those services is needed to not over – or under – provision, as both can be very costly to the business.
Syncsort’s Athene™ Cloud provides secure, hassle-free capacity management without the need for software and database implementation. Whether on premise, in the cloud or both – Syncsort organizes the data that powers machine learning, AI and predictive analytics. Now, getting your data to the cloud – and accessing, integrating and cleansing it – has never been easier. Add on the expertise from Syncsort Professional Services and you have a world-class managed service offering that will ensure optimization of your workloads and services. How can you go wrong?

RightScale Webinar: Operationalize Your Enterprise AWS Usage Through an IT Ve...RightScale
We’ve all seen the trend everywhere around us: customers want self-service. It offers them the agility they need and gives businesses the ability to scale and lower their costs. With cloud deployments, enterprises can experience similar benefits through the use of a self-service portal where internal customers can provision their own resources while Central IT maintains control and visibility. This saves both time and money.
In this webinar, learn how to empower your internal customers to provision the necessary cloud resources when they need them but also ensure that what get receive is well within IT approved guidelines. Beyond simple convenience, this methodology permits you to operationalize your AWS cloud usage to easily roll cloud into an overall IT strategy.
Architects from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and RightScale, an Advanced Technology Partner, will provide an overview of the key business and technical considerations for operationalizing your AWS cloud usage. In the second half of the webinar, our technical experts will answer your questions. Priority will be given to pre-submitted questions.
To help illustrate the effectiveness of this approach, our architects will walk you through real-world examples and the overall impact on their organizations.
Key Topics:
1. Create an IT Vending machine with consistent and reproducible processes.
2. Enable your end users while maintaining visibility and control.
3. Use cost planning and forecasting to fine-tune and understand cloud spend.
4. Discover reporting and auditing tools to ensure compliance.
5. Avoid downtime through proven HA/DR architectures.

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.
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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Standardization
• Cloud builds are everywhere
– Machine image & workload sprawl
– Configuration language smorgasbord
– Almost limitless cloud deployment options
• How can IT support this?
By 2016, more than 70% of large enterprises will choose a heterogeneous
IT operations management vendor (rather than an infrastructure vendor) for
their cloud management platform to unify cloud investments through a
single manager-of-managers style of management and control.
