How to Allocate and Report Cloud Costs with RightScale OptimaRightScale
Spend on cloud is increasing, but getting cloud costs allocated to the right business units can still be challenging, especially when you are using multiple clouds. You need automated tools that enable you to allocate costs from your cloud bill and report on spend to users across your organization.
Best Practices for Multi-Cloud Security and ComplianceRightScale
The last few months have seen ongoing cloud security breaches and a heightened data privacy focus due to GDPR. In today’s multi-cloud environment, enterprises are challenged to ensure security and compliance across both public and private clouds. We will help you understand best practices for multi-cloud security and compliance and how a cloud management platform (CMP) can help.
Automating Multi-Cloud Policies for AWS, Azure, Google, and MoreRightScale
With the explosion of cloud use, enterprises need to implement appropriate governance controls. Automated policies can optimize costs and ensure that operational, compliance, and security requirements are met. Using RightScale, you can create a single policy to work across all of your clouds, including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and VMware vSphere.
The 5 Stages of Cloud Management for EnterprisesRightScale
With cloud use exploding and cloud bills skyrocketing, enterprises are implementing new cloud governance processes and tools. A cloud management platform (CMP) will be a foundational technology you’ll need to get it all under control. We cover the 5 stages of cloud management that enterprises go through to fully manage their cloud use, and how a CMP helps.
Cloud storage costs are increasing and now represent a significant portion of cloud spend. As a result, cloud users need to focus on ways to reduce storage spend by selecting the best options while also finding ways to manage the rapid increase in the use of cloud storage.
Best Practices for Cloud Managed Services Providers: The Path to CMP SuccessRightScale
Managed services providers (MSPs) and other IT services providers offering managed services across multiple clouds use a cloud management platform (CMP) as a foundational technology. But what are the best practices for MSPs to leverage a CMP for success with end customers? MSPs need to implement appropriate account hierarchies, tagging strategies, cost management practices, templating and automation approaches, and DevOps processes.
Cloud Storage Comparison: AWS vs Azure vs Google vs IBMRightScale
As public cloud storage services mature, it becomes easier to make apples-to-apples comparisons. We drill down on the latest specs and features for object, block, archival, and file storage across AWS, Azure, Google, and IBM. We also compare prices for a variety of storage scenarios.
2018 Cloud Trends: RightScale State of the Cloud ReportRightScale

Enterprise Cloud Strategy: 7 Areas You Need to Re-ThinkRightScale
Companies from Fortune 1000 on down are going all-in on cloud, but your enterprise cloud strategy also needs to address the broad impact of cloud use in your company. Your strategy needs to cover implications for your technical processes, but also supporting areas including finance, governance, organization, and culture.
Orchestrating PaaS and IaaS+ with RightScaleRightScale
The lines between IaaS and PaaS are blurring. Cloud providers are offering dozens of individual IaaS+ services as an alternative to “all-in-one” PaaS options like OpenShift and Cloud Foundry. How do you handle cloud orchestration when you have a blend of IaaS, IaaS+, and PaaS? We’ll show how you can manage them all with a single pane of glass.

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.
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).

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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

8. “Serverless”: you don’t have to manage servers to deploy and
run applications
• PaaS (Platform as a Service, e.g. Google App Engine)
• BaaS (Backend as a Service, e.g. Firebase)
• FaaS (Function as a Service, e.g. AWS Lambda)
Focus on FaaS
• AWS Lambda
• Azure Functions
• Google Cloud Functions
• IBM Cloud Functions
What do you mean by Serverless?

9. ● Messaging
○ Integrate with data stream (Kinesis, Google Pub/Sub, Azure Event
Hubs and Event Grid)
○ IoT, real-time event processing
● Event Handling
○ Integrate with event sources (S3, Google Cloud Storage, DynamoDB,
Azure CosmoDB ...)
○ Real-time file processing (e.g. thumbnail creation) and analysis
● RESTful APIs
○ Integrate with API Gateway (auth, docs, routing)
○ Map endpoints to functions (e.g. one per resource)
Serverless Use Cases

12. ● No “local” persistent state
○ Use other services to store cross-request state
● Limits on execution duration and memory
○ Not suitable for long computations
● Vendor control
○ FaaS all about integration with other services
○ Amount of available compute resources not well defined (except Google)
● Can push logic to client side
○ Client responsible for orchestrating FaaS and BaaS
● Cost
○ Consider usage patterns
