Cloud Data Management at Australia's Largest Software Company -Session Sponso...Amazon Web Services
AWS Cloud services are known to scale automatically and easily, though managing the data sets created by the applications using these services don't. In fact, distributed and disparate types of production, test, development and customer data in volume regularly create operational friction and escalate costs at scale. Learn how Australia's largest software company overcame these challenges, and leveraged an advanced cloud data management platform to maximise control over data placement, performance and privacy, as well as create a better experience for their SaaS customers.

Creating a Culture of Cost Management in Your OrganizationAmazon Web Services
As your organization increases its AWS usage, budget owners and users demand new levels of cost visibility. This session explains how scaled organizations control and optimize their AWS spending as usage increases across multiple product teams. Attendees walk away with a strategy for driving cost effective behavior across the entire organization, from engineering to finance. Topics include: - Maintaining cost oversight while giving autonomy to individual teams - Allocating costs across dozens or hundreds of accounts or applications - Creating accountability around spending habits and waste - Tying cloud spending to the bottom line

The Evolution of OpenStack – From Infancy to EnterpriseRackspace
As OpenStack turns 5 this year, we thought it would be a good time to take a look back at the evolution of OpenStack. We start with a quick overview of what OpenStack is, how OpenStack came to be and describe the OpenStack Foundation. Next we describe the problem that OpenStack helps to solve, the components of OpenStack and the timeline for when these components came to be. Last, we outline the current features and benefits that make OpenStack ready for the enterprise with supporting Enterprise use case examples. Blog can be found here (

Data is being generated at a feverish pace and forward thinking companies are integrating big data and analytics as part of their core strategy from day one. However, it is often hard to sift through the hype around big data and many companies start with only a small subset of data. Can smaller companies benefit from big data efforts? We will discuss several use cases and examples of how startups are using data to optimize their operations, connect with their users, and expand their market.

Outsourcing IT Projects to Managed Hosting of the CloudRackspace
Is your organization looking to cut costs, reduce deployment time, or gain new capabilities that you find challenging to implement with traditional on-premises infrastructure? Then outsourcing IT may be right for you.
Nearly every IT leader these days is wresting with Shadow IT – the dynamic in which end users obtain IT solutions from cloud service providers without informing corporate IT.
Some IT initiatives, such as disaster recovery, are natural fits for cloud computing. Yet it can be challenging to know exactly where to begin when it comes to configuring self-managed recovery plans and replicating virtual machines (VMs) from on-premises to a cloud service provider.
Migrating Traditional Apps from On-Premises to the Hybrid CloudRackspace

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.

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.
