Serverless Design Patterns - a quick overview of 3 very common design patterns with Azure Functions
From PowerShell Function to Serverless code with Azure FunctionsJaap Brasser
A practical session on how we can move our existing code to the Cloud. What can be re-used? Which code should we leave in our existing silos?
These questions will be answered in this session focussed on what Serverless means for our PowerShell code. The approach we will take is as follows: we will take our existing code and transfer into Serverless code using Azure Functions; we evaluate changes or optimizations to take into account and how can we maximize the benefits of using Serverless.
Join us and find out!
Azure contains an ever growing suite of products, what tools or products do we have available to remove repetitive tasks from our daily grind. This session is viewed from the perspective of a Cloud/IT Professional, our vision is to automate anything we can using whichever tools we have available.
In this session we will dive into Azure Automation, Microsoft Flow, Azure Functions, Event Grid and more. What are they, how do they relate to each other and what are the pros and cons for using each product. By looking at and understanding how we can leverage the Cloud Automation tools that are available to us today we will be able to work less tomorrow! Warning: Contains code.
Azure Functions are a great new addition to the Azure stack that allow us to repeatedly automate tasks in a cheap and efficient manner. In this session we will go into what Azure Functions are, what features and functionality and the different ways of applying them in real-world scenarios.
Microsoft Flow and PowerShell combined to automate everythingJaap Brasser
Microsoft Flow is a great workflow automation tool, but most likely PowerShell is not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Flow. In this session I will show how to integrate Microsoft Flow in PowerShell scripts and vice-versa and to highlight the benefits that this provide. This demo-heavy session will feature a lot of PowerShell code and live demos.¬¬¬ At the end of the talk we will have time for Q&A, so if you have any questions in regards to automation with Microsoft Flow or PowerShell be sure to have your questions ready.
The signs are on the wall, scripting and coding is becoming increasingly important for any role in IT. PowerShell is a crucial component in your toolkit and in this session we will cover the basics of PowerShell and how you can get started and be successful, how we can secure systems running PowerShell and what benefits can it bring.
In this session Jaap will talk about what PowerShell is, the language, the console, the editors and how PowerShell came to be. Recently PowerShell has been made open source and multi-platform. We will look at what the implications are and what benefits this brings along.
As security is increasingly a more important consideration for every company, we will take a look at what capabilities PowerShell has and how we can use these tools to create a more secure scripting environment.
This session contains multiple real-world examples and applications of this technology. There will be time for questions during the session and if you have any specific PowerShell related questions that are not answered in the presentation Jaap will be available for questions all day.

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.

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).
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.

Evolution of “software” over time
Happening across two main axis:
Hardware abstraction: with HW virtualization, moving HW to the cloud, reducing HW operations with PaaS and Serverless. HW abstraction focuses on reducing the cost (time) of setting up and long term HW management. Basically, it takes about a minute to setup a VM that someone else manages, HW, for you.
Software architecture: from Monolithic, to N-Tier, to Micro-Services (SOA), to Functions (Serverless). I will argue, that the main advances in Application Software architecture focuses on reducing the long term cost of maintaining complex software system. Everyone agrees that monolithic architecture approach, is supper inefficient over the long run because it is hard to test and verify changes and it just doesn't’t scale- Not from engineering or management. The move to smaller and smaller chunks of code that are self-contained is happening. The latest buz word such as MicroServices and Functions are a good example.
If you think about it, Serverless is the first time we can actually use a single word, “Serverless”, to describe both the HW and Software improvments
On one hand, everyone understands Serverless mean a fully managed, self-contained ; system that abstract the use of servers
On the other hand, Everyone agree Serverless is event-based programing model

Hardware abstraction: with HW virtualization, moving HW to the cloud, reducing HW operations with PaaS and Serverless. HW abstraction focuses on reducing the cost (time) of setting up and long term HW management. Basically, it takes about a minute to setup a VM that someone else manages, HW, for you.HW abstraction also increases desnsity, which drives a lot of the cost benefits …
Software architecture: from Monolithic, to N-Tier, to Micro-Services (SOA), to Functions (Serverless). I will argue, that the main advances in Application Software architecture focuses on reducing the long term cost of maintaining complex software system. Everyone agrees that monolithic architecture approach, is supper inefficient over the long run because it is hard to test and verify changes and it just doesn't’t scale- Not from engineering or management. The move to smaller and smaller chunks of code that are self-contained is happening. The latest buz word such as MicroServices and Functions are a good example.
If you think about it, Serverless is the first time we can actually use a single word, “Serverless”, to describe both the HW and Software improvments
On one hand, everyone understands Serverless mean a fully managed, self-contained ; system that abstract the use of servers
On the other hand, Everyone agree Serverless is event-based programing model
We are at the beginning of the “Serverless-area”.
Serverless is a very good improvement of Platform as a Service. Serverless builds on top of PaaS to further reduce Dev Ops from developers.
however, because we are at the early stages of the Serverless-Area and revolution, there still growing pains and lack of clarity. Fundamentally, with Functional Programing Model, the we are dealing with
Stateless distributed system
Scale by design, if you follow some basic rules and properly design your solution to fit FaaS
Offers an application model
But the thing is, with Serverless, we are getting a LOT of Functions!
There are a lot of Functions – even with a basic “CRUD” as single functions, you can very easily end up with many Functions. 50 to 200 functions are “standard” number of Functions in a given small-to-medium application.
Beyond the management nightmare, there are some software architecture ‘issues’
Expressed over many different functions:
With no an easy way to ‘group’ (cluster) them into logical building blocks.
Functions can’t “easily talk” to each other, so we end up using queues, SNS, etc… which can lead to spaghetti code
Visualizing the big picture is difficult – often I hear developers complaining it is hard to see/ understand the entire system. which raises the interesting questions, whether you even care to see / understand the entire system
A Function is not aware of other Functions… how do you handle errors across multiple functions that represent a given business process?
There are no ‘clear’ guidelines, best practices, only few patterns with focus on dev-ops
There are no ‘formal’ patterns
With that in mind, one of this session goals is to just highlight the fact we need to build and foster common usage patterns and start building repository of common Serverless ‘design’ patterns

With that opening in mind and somewhat general understanding of what we are trying to prove here
Now that we understand some of the pain points with having big application with many functions.
It is important to take a moment to review some basic best practices for Functions:
Functions should do one thing
Functions should finish as quickly as possible
Functions should be stateless
Functions should be idempotent
Why breakup a function?
Let’s imagine a simple solution – the new “Functions” hello world
Func1 – is a webhook for Twilio
Func2 - sentiment analysis + phrase analysis
Func3 – check if this number already called me – if yes… another call to a database
Func4 – store data in DocDB + send twilio reply
Amazon SQS requires you to implement your own application-level tracking, especially if your application uses multiple queues

Both allow you to orchestrate functions and create a ‘workflow’
Help with the issues of:
No visualization to show relationship between functions.
Queues (SQQ/ SNS) are an implementation detail.
