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.
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.
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.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

TWO KEY QUESTIONS:
- WHAT IS INNOVATION ?
- WHAT IS THE SECRET ALCHEMY TO MAKE IT
HAPPEN ?
…… many different answers
all of them true BUT more then them
INNOVATION is :
12. WHIRLPOOL CORPORATION CONFIDENTIAL
A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR
YOUR CUSTOMERS
... and a new experience for your people
14. WHIRLPOOL CORPORATION CONFIDENTIAL
TO “CENTER OF COMPETENCIES”
“What is the new boss ?”
“The new is that the only thing that counts is BRAIN”
15. WHIRLPOOL CORPORATION CONFIDENTIAL
COMPETENCIES ARE A MATTER OF COLLABORATIVE
ECOSYSTEM • Experience is complex and goes
beyond products
• Competencies to drive the “new
experience” are multiple and
complex and can not be single
domain of a company
• Create collaborative ecosystems
with common objectives is crucial
to built up a “competency driven
organization”
• The role of “change agent” is crucial
to bridge the different part of the
ecosystem
• Change agent objective is to have
the ecosystem working not your
company getting better off vs.
others in the system
16. WHIRLPOOL CORPORATION CONFIDENTIAL
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE LEADERSHIP
• Create and sustain “change agents”
– MULTISECTORIAL
– EXTREMELY GOOD IN UNDERSTANDING
THE RELEVANCE BEHIND THE
CONNECTIONS
– EXTREMELY GOOD IN COMMUNICATE
• Create a WIN-WIN collaboration
– EVERYBODY HAS A POSITIVE RETURN
– EVERYBODY HAS AN INCENTIVE TO
GUARANTEE SUPPORT
– EVERYBODY WINS
From “LEADER OF A FUNCTION” to “LEADER OF AN ECOSYSTEM”
17. WHIRLPOOL CORPORATION CONFIDENTIAL
AN WHIRLPOOL EXAMPLE:
DOMESTIC FOOD WASTE REDUCTION PROGRAM
Challenge: Accomplish the 2012 EU Parliament resolution to develop strategies for
reducing food waste of 50 % by 2025
EU Food waste
• Current wastage : 89 million tonnes per year (i.e. 179 kg per capita) -> 170 Mt
CO2 per year
• Projection for 2020 (if no action is taken): 126 million tonnes (i.e. a 40%
increase)
Responsibility for food waste:
- households: 42% (60% of which is avoidable)
- manufacturers: 39%
- retailers: 5%
- catering sector: 14%
VISION: Develop a NEW EXPERIENCE with technologies able to guarantee the
traceability of food to optimize safety and quality, utilization, shelf-life and reduce
food waste with primer focus on domestic environment.

FOOD WASTE REDUCTION PROGRAM OBJECTIVE
The Whirlpool-Partner collaboration is expected to lead to radical innovation in the
way foods are designed, in preservation, preparation and consumption, and in
new types of ready-to-eat food or semi-finished food where preservation plays an
important role

For Whirlpool this would result in
the design of new home
appliances, e.g. new dedicated
sections in the refrigerator and
dedicated appliances.
For the Partner this would result in
the design of new foods that
combined with the use of new
home appliances can create new
products in existing categories or
entirely new food categories.
