Microsoft veröffentlichte vor kurzem das jüngste Update für System Center Configuration Manager - System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager. Viele der neuen Updates sind so gut, dass jeder das Upgrade so schnell wie möglich haben möchte. Wally Mead, Microsoft MVP, präsentierte in dieser Preäsentation die neuen Features von Configuration Manager 2012 R2.
System Center Operations Manager is a big deal.
On April 24th, Erik Gilreath discussed SCOM and uncovered: why SCOM is so rarely installed, why that's a mistake, easy steps to install, what you should be doing with it, and what it can do that other people's products can't.
Using SCCM 2012 r2 to Patch Linux, UNIX and MacsLumension
Today, everything has to be patched. From desktop and laptop to server and every operating system in between. With compliance, what we have to pay attention to is what’s actually out there on our network – not just what you wish were there.
Servers (Windows, UNIX and Linux)Even Windows-centric environments have at least a few UNIX or Linux servers that need to be secure and patched. Linux and UNIX servers often fulfill critical functions with few and short maintenance windows. These can be a real pain point for admins who specialize in Windows or are managed by an entirely different admin.
Desktops (Windows and Macs)Maybe you are responsible for desktops instead of servers. Again it’s not just a Windows story any more. More and more people are opting for Macs instead of Windows. Watch the vulnerability lists and you’ll see that Macs need patching too.
The kicker though is the 80/20 rule. If at least 80% of the computers on your network are Windows and the remaining 20% are everything else – it’s a safe bet, given the maturity and ease of WSUS, that 20% of your patching effort goes to Windows but 80% of your effort is consumed with patching all the different flavors of UNIX, Linux and your Mac computers. We need one system to manage all our patches and one pane of glass to prove compliance from data center to desktop.
Believe it or not System Center 2012 R2 provides the infrastructure to do just that – it just needs a little help. Last time we showed you how you can patch 3rd party apps on Windows through System Center Update Manager. This time we’ll show you how you can patch non-Windows systems using the new System Center clients for UNIX, Linux and Mac.

Rise of the machines: Continuous Delivery at SEEK - YOW! Night Summary SlidesDiUS
The virtues of continuous delivery are widely understood and accepted by organisations which value fast feedback cycles, reduced risk through incremental delivery of smaller changes and the ability to respond quickly to external factors. Furthermore if microservices are part of your architecture, then the ability to rapidly deploy multiple components of a system become increasingly important.
The foundations of scripting, automation and more recently containers made *nix-based systems the first target for automated deployments and subsequently continuous delivery. With the advent of some new tooling and a bit of courage these principles can now be applied to more heterogeneous environments including those from Redmond.
Using their backgrounds in automating large-scale ruby and java-based deployments, Warner and Matt embarked on a journey with SEEK to increase their agility by enabling continuous delivery – typically multiple times per day. This is their story.
Strategies for developing and deploying your embedded applications and imagesMender.io
We will delve into multiple strategies you can use for developing and deploying code to embedded devices. We will compare and contrast the following:
– Lightweight package managers: ipkg/opkg
– Desktop package managers: rpm/deb
– Configuration Management Tools
– Smart Package Manager
– Yocto Runtime Package Management
– PXE boot
– OTA updaters: Mender
As with any decision, it is rarely black-and-white and we will cover some of the benefits and the limitations of all the different methods mentioned, to make sure you have the most critical information needed to decide for yourself whether a given strategy would be a good fit for your embedded application development.
This talk will cover how different mechanisms are implemented in the real world and how choosing the right strategy, understanding its benefits and drawbacks, can speed up and improve the whole development process.

Software Update Mechanisms: Selecting the Best Solutin for Your Embedded Linu...ICS
Updating device software has always been a complicated process. Today, widespread use of connected IoT device fleets, along with escalating concern over cybersecurity, has made that process even more complex. Fortunately, there are a number of well-established open source solutions to help you address software update needs. But, with so many options, how do you determine which solution is right for your device?
This webinar will provide the foundation you need to make an informed decision. We’ll examine several different industry approaches, including A/B updates with a dual-redundant scheme, delta updates, container-based updates and combined strategies, as well as the leading technologies that support these approaches. Open source technologies such as Mender, RAUC and libostree-based solutions implement these strategies and provide tools to manage updates of multiple devices.
We’ll also review a variety of open source Linux software update technologies, and offer practical examples for integrating them using the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded. In order to help you better understand the strengths and weaknesses of each technology, we’ll deep dive into various real-world use cases, including leveraging CAAM (Cryptographic Accelerator and Assurance Module) hardware on Freescale i.MX6 hardware for encrypted and signed updates and using Microsoft Azure IoT to host software updates from the cloud.

The ultimate guide to software updates on embedded linux devicesMender.io
Slides from my talk at NDC Techtown 2019.
Abstract:
Software updates has for a long time been a mess, consisting of “homegrown” solutions specific to a certain project and there was very little re-usage between projects and very little collaboration in our community to solve these complex problems. Luckily for us that time is over and the community around this topic has grown over last couple years and still is growing as the demand increases with the growth of IoT and OTA firmware updates (which introduces even more complexity).
There are now well established open-source solutions that have been “battle tested” that we can collaborate on to make the complexity of software updates manageable. We are heading for a time where a quality Board Support Package should provide an software update implementation because it really should be solved at this level instead of handing this over to application developers which have limited knowledge of low lever architecture on a embedded device.
In this talk Mirza will present some of the challenges of doing software updates on embedded system. He will also present the available open-source projects that can be used to solving these challenges. Projects such as mender.io, SWupdate, RAUC and more.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
