Katpro Technology, a IT solutions company, announced it has been selected by Microsoft Co-corporations as a windows Azure Circle Partner.The Partnership will provide katpro with the ability to service customers needs in the area of cloud, training and support material provided by Microsoft.
This is a fusion talk I presented at the devopsdays conference heled in Galway in 2018.
In it I share some of the misuses of the cloud I have seen and then focus on the five essential characteristics of cloud with the aim of imparting the importance of adopting these characteristics to improve performance.
Application Darwinism: Why Most Enterprise Apps Will Move to the Cloud (SVC20...Amazon Web Services
(Presented by Skytap) Complex multi-tier enterprise applications that have been under development for decades assume reliable hardware and typically have dependencies on underlying operating systems, hardware configurations, and network topologies. The boundary between one application or service and another is often fuzzy, with many interdependencies. These traits make some enterprise applications difficult to refactor and move to a public cloud. Even the teams that manage these applications can be unfamiliar with cloud terminology and concepts. In this session for enterprise IT architects and developers, Brad Schick, CTO of Skytap and Skytap customers Fulcrum, DataXu and F5 will share their insights into why the evolution of enterprise applications will lead to hybrid applications that opportunistically take advantage of cloud-based services. Brad will then demonstrate Skytap Cloud with Amazon Web Services and discuss how enterprises can easily achieve this integration today for application development and testing.
Simply, Cloud Computing is storing and accessing programs and data over the internet instead of a computer hard drive.
The cloud is another name of the internet but nothing to do with the hard drive.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
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.

Cloud computing has emerged as a new rung on the evolutionary ladder that gave us virtualization, grid computing, autonomics and service oriented architecture, or SOA.
Well, for software testing a number of technical tools are needed and these include test and acceptance environments and test tooling. However both test and acceptance environments and test tools are expensive to buy and, more importantly, to maintain. In addition, test and acceptance environments impose a large demand on the servicing of the infrastructure.
To create test infrastructure in the cloud there is a need for virtualization. When test infrastructure is created in the cloud they need to be virtualized parts of that environment. This not only makes the implementation easier, but also the execution of the different instances in the cloud. The virtualized environments can be added or removed from the cloud when needed. Creating a flexible option to create test environments (including the needed configuration) whenever a test project starts. Almost all types of services and systems can be virtualized, even some legacy systems. But 5-10% of all systems cannot be virtualized, and most of these are legacy systems. With using an interface with these legacy systems this risk can be reduced. When using a VPN connection between the cloud and the clients own servers a connection is created between the legacy systems and the cloud systems. This can also be done for security reasons
Rational Team Concert running in 5 minutes on the IBM Cloud
Always important is to know how much does it cost a client. When calculating the numbers ROI is reached after 18 months. With Sogeti ’ s discount for IBM Rational tools ROI is reached after 14 months. However, as noted earlier, we keep it to 9 months! Put in (Maintenance) and (Break Even Point) money
The available quality management tools with TTaaS are: RQM RPT AppScan RFT RST
In the long term Cloud will become a new business model in Testing Cloud can help current testing problems around costs, flexibility and compliance Cloud-Enabled Testing Service offer flexibility and on demand test tooling, infrastructure and STaaS
Why are testing environments so expensive to maintain? First you have program number 1. It needs the environment most in the beginning and a little bit after the second half of the year. But there are use laps in the demand vs. the availability. Program number 2 starts of high and demands even more at the end of the year. And program 4 has the highest demand in the start of the years. In most test environments I ’ ve seen they planned for this [second red line from above]. That lets you miss out on this peak [4 column from the right] and have a hole in the middle. There are environments that can facilitate almost all of the testing ’ s demand on the infrastructure. But you don ’ t need that availability the whole year. So you pay for maximum need all year round, but you don ’ t have the need for it! Having development, test and acceptance environments in the cloud can help with that.
Common attributes of cloud computing include: Flexible pricing Elastic scaling Rapid provisioning Advanced virtualization … all resulting in a better user experience.
No web commerce face to face only.
An extra benefit of cloud infrastricture is added flexibility. Rapid deployment of testing tools is enabled by: Modularized testing infrastructure, because they are hosted in the cloud. Standard set of tools in the cloud ‘ toolkit ’ Tools pre-installed, configured in virtual images, available for download from the cloud Rapid provisioning of server hardware & images in the IBM Cloud Like in this example the RQM server is provisioned in 8 minutes!
