Writing concurrent code that is also correct is unbelievably hard. Naturally, humanity has developed a number of approaches to handle concurrency in the code, starting from basic threads that follow the hardware way to do concurrency to higher level primitives like fibers and work-stealing solutions. But which approach is the best for you? In this session, we'll take a look at a simple concurrent problem and solve it using different ways to manage concurrency: threads, executors, actors, fibers, monadic code with completable futures. All these approaches are different from the simplicity, readability, configuration and management point of view. Some scenarios are better modelled with threads, while sometimes you're better off with actors. We'll discuss the benefits of each approach and figure out when it's worth pursuing in your project.

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.

14. Getting Started – Installation
Business as usual except …
MinRole is new: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt346114%28v=office.16%29.aspx
SharePoint Health Analyzer for MinRole enforcement
Health rule will scan each server in the farm daily
Scans all roles except for “Custom” and “Single-server Farm”
Compares Service Instances on server to expected configuration
Server role Description
Front-end
Service applications, services, and components that serve user requests belong on Front-end web
servers. These servers are optimized for low latency.
Application
Service applications, services, and components that serve backend requests (such as background
jobs or search crawl requests) belong on Application servers. These servers are optimized for high
throughput.
Distributed cache
Service applications, services, and components that are required for a distributed cache belong on
Distributed Cache servers.
Search
Service applications, services, and components that are required for searching belong on Search
servers.
Custom
Custom service applications, services, and components that do not integrate with MinRole belong on
Custom servers. The farm administrator has full control over which service instances can run on
servers assigned to the Custom role. MinRole does not control which service instances are
provisioned on this role.
Single-server farm
Service applications, services, and components required for a single machine farm belong on a
Single-Server Farm. A Single-Server Farm is meant for development, testing, and very limited
production use. A SharePoint farm with the Single-Server Farm role cannot have more than one
SharePoint server in the farm.
18. Upgrade Methods/Supported Upgrade Paths
Database Attach Upgrade
Only available method

And more
19. Upgrade Prior Versions
Upgrade to 2007
Gradual Upgrade - Not recommended
Database Attach Upgrade - Recommended
In-Place Upgrade - Not recommended
Upgrade to 2010
Database Attach Upgrade - Recommended
In-Place Upgrade - Not recommended
Upgrade to 2013
Database Attach Upgrade - Recommended
20. Upgrade Prior Versions – Tips and Tricks
Database Attach Upgrade is the fastest route to upgrade.
You can build multiple farm of each version to parallelize the upgrade process.
If you need to upgrade fast, pay careful attention to the speed of your drives (IOPS) for SQL Server.
You can also upgrade multiple content databases on the same system
When upgrading multi versions, build each farm separately. I highly recommend lots of
virtual machines.
If upgrading services, upgrade the services first.
Otherwise, build lean SharePoint servers without configured services. You don’t need them, you may
get warnings but they won’t prevent you from upgrading the content databases.
Upgrade the content databases in each environment progressively. Make sure you fix the
errors produced by the Test-SPContentDatabase. Warnings will not prevent you from moving
forward.
For SharePoint 2013, upgrade the site collections from 2010 mode to 2013 after upgrading
the content databases.
Upgrade-SPSite
On the final environment (2016 of course)
Configure the web applications, Urls, Services, AAM, etc. as final and fully functional
Deploy your solutions and features correctly
Test the services are functioning properly
Then, perform you content database upgrades
21. Upgrading Services First
Upgradable Services (in upgrade order)
Secure Store Service Application
Business Data Connectivity Service Application
Managed Metadata Service Application
User Profile Service Application
PerformancePoint Service Application
Search Service Application
Gather applicable services settings on source farm
Backup all applicable services databases from source farm
Ensure service application pools are created first
Make sure the managed account is the correct one for your security needs
Create each service application and proxy
If applicable, upgrade service database during service application creation
Pay special attention to differences in some services
Most service upgrade processes are the same, some are different though
Start service instances only after service is created with upgraded databases
22. Database Attach Upgrade - Preparation
1. [Tip] Testing your IOPS for future reference
2. Collection old farm configuration information
3. Create new service accounts for a clean cutover
4. Create Web Applications
Try to use same URLs and AAM
Add managed paths
Install solutions and other customizations
5. Ensure service instances are connected to web application
Some content database upgrades attempt to use service instances
Service unavailability should not block upgrade
Service issues during upgrade may require additional work afterwards
Finish the specific service interaction missed during upgrade
Check logs to look for issues
6. Always upgrade content database with root site collection first for each web application
7. Office Web Apps are now Office Online Server
Excel Services is now part of Office Online Server … this will affect a lot of users
23. Database Attach Upgrade
1. Place Content Databases into Read Only mode
2. Backup Content and Service Application Databases
3. Restore Content and Service Application Databases
4. Take Restored Databases out of Read Only Mode
5. Test-SPContentDatabase –Name WSS_Content_Upgrade –WebApplication
http://upgrade.contoso.com
Fix all errors, missing customizations, orphans, etc.
6. Mount-SPContentDatabase –Name WSS_Content_Upgrade –WebApplication
http://upgrade.contoso.com
Use Upgrade-SPContentDatabase to resume failed upgrades
7. Test and Validate
Workflows, forms, solutions, apps
8. Test and Validate
9. Test and Validate
10. Test and Validate
25. Tips and Tricks
Always do a full dry run before you go live
Time your upgrade process
Streamline and use parallelism as well
Upgrade multiple content databases on the same system (use multiple spindles)
Can use dev machines and laptops to speed things up
Know how fast (iops) is your On-prem farm *** THIS IS YOUR BEST CHANCE ***
Key Upgrade CmdLets
Test-SPContentDatabase
Mount-SPContentDatabase
Upgrade-SPContentDatabase
Upgrade-SPSite
Throttling
Be aware that upgrading is throttled
App pool 5 simultaneous site collections per web app
Site collections < 10 MB and < 10 webs processed by web app pool immediately
Site collections > 10 MB and > 10 webs processed by timer job Runs every 5 minutes
Both of those settings controlled by web application properties
(Get-SPWebApplication http://upgrade.contoso.com).SiteUpgradeThrottleSettings
Content databases only allow 10 simultaneous site collections to be upgraded
(Get-SPContentDatabase claims_upgrade).ConcurrentSiteUpgradeSessionLimit
26. Closing Comments
Think about you upgrade/migration strategy
Plan for Office Online
Document your new environment
IOPS, drives, procs, etc. This will help in the future when you need to test performance.
Think about the future roadmap
Will my farm solutions continue to work?
What will be the cloud strategy for my company?
InfoPath will be supported until 2023
Make sure you test your upgrade
Time your upgrade process
Communicate with Users
Clean up old servers, data, etc.
Verify Services are working properly
Leverage new features and educate your users of the benefits
