The document discusses Red Hat Enterprise Linux and its growing adoption rates. It notes that 84% of organizations plan to continue or increase their use of Linux in the coming year. Many organizations are migrating applications and workloads from UNIX and Windows to Linux due to benefits like lower costs, increased flexibility and hardware choices, and community driven innovation. Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides stability and a platform for mission critical, big data, virtualization and cloud computing workloads.

Every company has legacy applications.
And every framework, language, technology will dead or will become legacy.
How to modernise them without the need to rewrite everything by hand?
Does an automatic migration of source code is realistic on large applications?
Does Eclipse technologies help for these tasks?
This talk will answer these questions through a real use case executed for a french ministry: the migration of a large scale application (5 millions of line of code) from Forte to Java.
We will explain our project process to insure 99,9999% of garanties to migrated code and how we create a custom migration factory with:
EMF to represent source code as a structured model
CDO to store several Gigabits of datas with very good performances
Agility to reverse existing source code
GMF and ATL for Software Mining and cartography
Acceleo for translating
The talk will also show demos of this migration tooling applied to other technologies and other needs of legacy analysis:
ADA to C++
VB to DotNet

Jan Kristian Nielsen, Client Architect, IBM
Businesses demand IT solutions that are relevant, reliable and faster than ever. Infrastructure and business-specific workloads proliferate as companies grow and address new market needs. The result for data centers is increased server acquisition, expanded storage, new databases, increased floor space and more power consumption.
XDF18: Heterogeneous Real-Time SoC Software Architecture - Stefano Stabellini...The Linux Foundation
Hypervisors are key to enable mixed-criticality systems: a critical workload, typically with real-time requirements, running alongside a larger operating system, such as Linux. The interrupt latency needs to be deterministic, and the boot time of the critical function only a fraction of a second. Hypervisors are also the enabling technology to securely deploy new customers apps at runtime, without affecting system safety.
This presentation will give an overview of hypervisor technologies for Xilinx platforms. It will introduce the most recent developments of the Xen hypervisor, including the "null" scheduler and dom0less, and it will explain how to make use of the new features to best configure Xen for embedded environments.

Getting to know the Grid - Goto Aarhus 2013Syed Shaaf
You can start an application with a local cache, but then you need to scale, make it distributed, so now you have a distributed cache, need an in-memory key/value NoSQL datastore, you got it! Want to use map/reduce or maybe distribute executions on this grid. This is where you would start wondering about high availability, evictions, grid network etc.
In this talk I will highlight the uses cases for the JBoss Datagrid which is based on the opensource project infinispan. I will go through some of the internals of caching and how you can effectively create an application that can scale, and once it does how you can leverage the capabilities of the gird.

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.

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.

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.
