Caching for Microservives - Introduction to Pivotal Cloud CacheVMware Tanzu
SpringOne Platform 2017
Pulkit Chandra, Pivotal
"One of the most important factors in a microservices architecture is that application logic is separate from the data store. This design choice makes it easier for the application to scale. Providing a caching solution inside Pivotal Cloud Foundry makes it easy for these microservices to store data which can be retrieved 100x times faster than with a regular database. Pivotal Cloud Cache not only provides such a cache but takes a “use case”-based approach which gets an application from 0 to production fast.
This session will provide insights into how to use Pivotal Cloud Cache and its performance under load. We will demo a Spring Boot app which uses Spring Data Geode to talk to a Pivotal Cloud Cache cluster."
Highly available databases are essential to organizations depending on mission-critical, 24/7 access to data. Postgres is widely recognized as an excellent open-source database, with critical maturity and features that allow organizations to scale and achieve high availability.
This webinar will explore:
- Evolution of replication in Postgres
- Streaming replication
- Logical replication
- Replication for high availability
- Important high availability parameters

This white paper describes how BlueData enables virtualization of Hadoop and Spark workloads running on Intel architecture.
Even as virtualization has spread throughout the data center, Apache Hadoop continues to be deployed almost exclusively on bare-metal physical servers. Processing overhead and I/O latency typically associated with virtualization have prevented big data architects from virtualizing Hadoop implementations.
As a result, most Hadoop initiatives have been limited in terms of agility, with infrastructure changes such as provisioning a new server for Hadoop often taking weeks or even months. This infrastructure complexity continues to slow down adoption in enterprise deployments. Apache Spark is a relatively new big data technology, but interest is growing rapidly; many of these same deployment challenges apply to on-premises Spark implementations.
The BlueData EPIC software platform addresses these limitations, enabling data center operators to accelerate Hadoop and Spark implementations on Intel architecture-based servers.

Best practices: running high-performance databases on KubernetesMariaDB plc
Databases benefit greatly from containerization in terms of performance, ease-of-deployment, and scalability. However, building a database-as-a-service (DBaaS) on Kubernetes without the right infrastructure can be a complex, time-consuming project where some database services have to be run outside of the cluster for the sake of leveraging persistent storage. This session offers up a global financial institution’s real-world account of how bare metal Kubernetes infrastructure can further enhance the performance of MariaDB’s innovative, load-balanced database services – and how the requisite persistent storage can be best provisioned, managed and backed up without service interruption or creating an additional burden for application owners and developers.

Caching for Microservices Architectures: Session IVMware Tanzu
In this 60 minute webinar, we will cover the key areas of consideration for data layer decisions in a microservices architecture, and how a caching layer, satisfies these requirements. You’ll walk away from this webinar with a better understanding of the following concepts:
- How microservices are easy to scale up and down, so both the service layer and the data layer need to support this elasticity.
- Why microservices simplify and accelerate the software delivery lifecycle by splitting up effort into smaller isolated pieces that autonomous teams can work on independently. Event-driven systems promote autonomy.
- Where microservices can be distributed across availability zones and data centers for addressing performance and availability requirements. Similarly, the data layer should support this distribution of workload.
- How microservices can be part of an evolution that includes your legacy applications. Similarly, the data layer must accommodate this graceful on-ramp to microservices.

Digital display advertising is going through a seismic change. Reaching consumers with relevant advertising is becoming increasingly difficult. New opportunities are increasingly being built around two of the most disruptive elements in advertising today – content marketing and native advertising – yet the level of insight as to how consumers are responding to them is relatively low.
For this reason Yahoo! and Facit Digital examined the way native ads work with respect to visibility, their ability to convey content, user preferences and the impact on the perception of brands.
The study was awarded the Best Practice Award 2015 of the German Society of Online Research.
Speak, wave, touch: How to do it right. User research insights about Natural ...Michael Wörmann
Just a few years ago, our common understanding of “online” was tightly linked to the notion of a yellowish desktop computer with a tube monitor, a keyboard and a wired mouse. Today, novel user interfaces and devices are rapidly entering the digital sphere. Speech recognition, gesture and touch input promise a more natural interaction between a human and a machine. These input modes pose new challenges to the UX community. Which mode is suitable for which context and task? How do user knowledge and culture interfere with gestures? Is it a good idea to steer services with natural speech? Should we eventually wave our old mice goodbye with a gesture? Michael Wörmann discussed these questions from a user perspective at UX Poland 2014, drawing on a series of recent Facit Digital studies on natural user interfaces from different industries.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

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.

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.

We have a legacy data center, SJDC. The architecture is very complex and hard to maintain. We have had many P0 incidents in the past due to the complexity, and many P0 incidents due to the manual change in order to provision service.The power & cooling capacity is another issue in SJDC. We can’t fully utilize all the rack space we have which means we need to spend more money in order to get more space.SJDC is located in bay area and has a great change of having a big earthquake in the future.
