Deploying Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 7 on Lenovo Performance...Principled Technologies
The proof-of-concept private cloud test infrastructure matched the minimal non-high availability configuration in the Lenovo Cloud Reference Architecture for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform. Our testbed consisted of two Lenovo System x3650 M5 compute nodes, a single Lenovo System x3650 M5 Cinder node, a Lenovo System x3550 M5 OpenStack controller node, and a Lenovo System x3550 M5 Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform Director server. We used this small-scale private cloud test infrastructure to demonstrate the setup and functionality of the Lenovo OpenStack reference architecture. As it is a scale out architecture, it can grow to a significant size and can support additional VMs and workloads, simply by adding more compute and storage nodes. See the Lenovo Cloud Reference Architecture for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform for other sizing and high availability options.
Also worth noting is the validation testing performed as a part of this deployment guide. Our relational database workload was I/O intensive, which placed particular stress on the single Cinder storage node. Even so, this entry-level configuration showed it had room to support additional RAM and CPU-focused workloads beyond what was tested. A scalable cloud architecture, such as this Lenovo OpenStack reference architecture, is capable of supporting many different types of workloads, such as DevOps applications, Big Data applications (e.g. Hadoop® and Apache™ Spark), and distributed NoSQL database applications (e.g. Cassandra and MongoDB®). Given the flexibility of the Lenovo Cloud Reference Architecture for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform, if one needed additional capacity, one could simply add additional compute nodes for compute-intensive applications or add additional Cinder storage nodes for storage-intensive applications.
A private cloud infrastructure can bring your business flexibility and scalability while providing greater control over your infrastructure, applications, and data. Within this reference architecture, Lenovo’s Performance Rack Servers, Lenovo XClarity Administrator tool and Red Hat OpenStack Platform software are designed to come together to deliver a customizable private cloud solution to meet a wide variety of business workloads. As demonstrated in this guide, deploying and managing Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 7 with XClarity Administrator on your Lenovo System x3650 M5 and x3550 M5 servers is a straightforward process that can result in a scalable, flexible, and reliable private cloud infrastructure.
Dror Goldenberg from Mellanox presented this deck at the HPC Advisory Council Switzerland Conference.
“High performance computing has begun scaling beyond Petaflop performance towards the Exaflop mark. One of the major concerns throughout the development toward such performance capability is scalability – at the component level, system level, middleware and the application level. A Co-Design approach between the development of the software libraries and the underlying hardware can help to overcome those scalability issues and to enable a more efficient design approach towards the Exascale goal.”

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
"Frontline Battles with DDoS: Best practices and Lessons Learned", Igor IvaniukFwdays

Also, we will look into one of the largest DDoS attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure that happened in February 2022. We'll see, what techniques helped to keep the web resources available for Ukrainians and how AWS improved DDoS protection for all customers based on Ukraine experience
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

You retain ownership of the system and data, while we manage the ABAP 7.58 infrastructure, ensuring fixed Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and exceptional services through the SAP Fiori interface.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
