5 Popular Choices for NoSQL on a Microsoft Platform - All Things Open - Octob...Matthew Groves
If you are thinking of trying out a NoSQL document database, there are many good options available to Microsoft-oriented developers. In this session, we’ll compare some of the more popular databases, including: CosmosDb, Couchbase, MongoDb, CouchDb, and RavenDb. We’ll look at the strengths and weaknesses of each system. Querying, scaling, usability, speed, deployment, support and flexibility will all be covered. This session will include a discussion about when NoSQL is right for your project and give you an idea of which technology to pursue for your use case.
I gave this presentation on 5/17 to the New Mexico VMUG in Santa Fe. The presentation provides an overview of OpenStack, what it is (and isn't), and some things you might learn to get started with OpenStack.

With the rise of micro-services, REST communication is more popular than ever. But the communication between the different parts must also be performed in a secure way.
First, we need to know if the user or system is allowed to call the JAX-RS endpoint. For this authentication part, self-contained tokens are the best option to not overload any of our services in the system. JWT which contains the authentication but also can contain the authorization info is ideal for this use-case.
And secondly, we need guarantees that the message isn't altered, that we can have message integrity. For that part, we can use signatures as specified in the HTTP signature draft specification.

In an increasingly competitive marketplace, speed and business agility are paramount. And integration between customer-facing systems and back-end applications is more crucial than ever.
At this event, you'll learn how open source software built by communities, like Apache Camel, Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift Origin, and Fabric8, can help organizations integrate services and establish effective continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.
.Net Microservices with Event Sourcing, CQRS, Docker and... Windows Server 20...Javier García Magna
Good technical practices you can follow with (micro)services but can be applied to almost anything: discovery (microphone/consul), security, resilience (polly), composition, ssecurity (jwt/oauth2)... And then an example with a CQRS application, and how docker can be used in Windows 2016. Lastly a brief summary of what Service Fabric is and its programming models.
Using apache camel for microservices and integration then deploying and managing on Docker and Kubernetes. When we need to make changes to our app, we can use Fabric8 continuous delivery built on top of Kubernetes and OpenShift.
Modern software architectures - PHP UK Conference 2015Ricard Clau
The web has changed. Users demand responsive, real-time interactive applications and companies need to store and analyze tons of data. Some years ago, monolithic code bases with a basic LAMP stack, some caching and perhaps a search engine were enough. These days everybody is talking about micro-services architectures, SOA, Erlang, Golang, message passing, queue systems and many more. PHP seems to not be cool anymore but... is this true? Should we all forget everything we know and just learn these new technologies? Do we really need all these things?

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

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.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

12. Points from Dr. Matt Wood
• 30-70% divide
• IT infrastructure friction
• Focus on your core competences
• Focus on delivering value
• http://www.slideshare.net/FDIHdk/ahead-in-
the-cloud-matt-wood-amazon
13. Amazon EC2
• Amazon EC2 however does not get us
there - no matter how much elasticity it
provides
• http://aws.amazon.com/
14. Ruby/Perl in the cloud?
• @ActiveState introduces #stackato
based on phenona and Cloud
Foundry
• http://www.activestate.com/stackato
• http://www.cloudfoundry.com/
15. Stackato
• A micro-cloud
• current version 1.0.6
• out of beta, released 2012.02.29
• Platform as a Service (PaaS) private and
public
• Supporting several languages, their
frameworks and commonly-used services
21. operating
• start, start a service
• stop, stop a service
• restart, restart a service
• this is about it, for what I can provide for
now, I have no experience with long time
operation of a Stackato deployed service
• Oh there is one more thing...
25. updating
• update, when an application has been
pushed (deployed) this is the command you
will use
26. All the little things
• binding DNS, going beyond mDNS
• binding services (databases et al.)
• resource allocation, memory, instances etc.
• logging (more on this later...)
• now for some architecture...
27.

cooperative
29. Open Source Examples
• @ActiveState examples on Github
• my own fork is on Github
• Github is nice!
30. Stackato is not
• Open Source? - it is closed and proprietary
• @ActiveState is however dedicated to
keeping the micro-cloud solution free
32. Targets!
• Multiple targets
• development / test / production
• Targets make sense in SCM context
• trunk / branches / tags (releases)
• You could just go for the micro-cloud, but
you would loose some of the benefits

driver distribution issue)
• Cryptographic components (export of PPMs, Perl packages)
• Deployment of custom components
• Service integration (PostgreSQL)
• Full blown examples (Mojolicious over Mojolicious::Lite etc.)
• mDNS and dynamic DNS (might be .local)
• Central logging (syslog)
37. Conclusion
• The Stackato cloud is awesome
• @ActiveState mean serious business
• I am going to present and propose Stackato
as a part of our future infrastructure
38. Benefits
• Easy and controlled access to platform,
runtimes and frameworks
• The least possible gap between development,
test and production and minimal differences
between deployed code and the code in the
editor depending on your cloud deployment
• reproducibility for transparency since the
amount of magic is kept at a minimum
