[Srijan Wednesday Webinars] How to Build a Cloud Native Platform for Enterpri...Srijan Technologies
Drupal has been a consistent leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management. However, enterprises leveraging Drupal have traditionally relied on PaaS providers for their hosting, scaling and lifecycle management. And that usually leads to enterprise applications being locked-in with a particular cloud or vendor.
As container and container orchestration technologies disrupt the cloud and platform landscape, there’s a clear way to avoid this state of affairs. In this webinar, we discuss why it's important to build a cloud-native Drupal platform, and exactly how to do that.
Join the webinar to understand how you can avoid vendor lock-in, and create a secure platform to manage, operate and scale your Drupal applications in a multi-cloud portable manner.
Key Takeaways:
- Why you need a cloud-native Drupal platform and how to build one
- How to craft an idiomatic development workflow
- Understanding infrastructure and cloud engineering - under the hood
- Demystifying the art and science of Docker and Kubernetes: deep dive into scaling the LAMP stack
- Exploring cost optimization and cloud governance
- Understand portability of applications
- A hands-on demo of how the platform works

Comparing three data ingestion approaches where Apache Kafka integrates with ...HostedbyConfluent
Using Kafka to stream data into TigerGraph, a distributed graph database, is a common pattern in our customers’ data architecture. We have seen the integration in three different layers around TigerGraph’s data flow architecture, and many key use case areas such as customer 360, entity resolution, fraud detection, machine learning, and recommendation engine. Firstly, TigerGraph’s internal data ingestion architecture relies on Kafka as an internal component. Secondly, TigerGraph has a builtin Kafka Loader, which can connect directly with an external Kafka cluster for data streaming. Thirdly, users can use an external Kafka cluster to connect other cloud data sources to TigerGraph cloud database solutions through the built-in Kafka Loader feature. In this session, we will present the high-level architecture in three different approaches and demo the data streaming process.

It hosted over 350 attendees, with 47 speakers holding technical talks, user stories, new features and integrations presentations and more.
In cloud computing environments, VMs require fast access to resources like storage and networking. The hardware that the VMs access is implemented in software and/or by passing through a dedicated hardware device. Software-based solutions consume extra CPU cycles, thus resulting in poor performance. Also, these require to expose a device-model to the guest, thus increasing the attack surface. Conversely, hardware passthrough provides better performance and security but can be expensive in terms of the number of physical resources, since each device is dedicated to a single VM. This talk focuses on how Vates is working on sharing hardware resources among VMs by relying on dedicated processors named Data Processing Units (DPU). More precisely, Vates work on offloading Xen hypervisor of storage emulation by relying on Kalray K200 DPU PCIe controllers, a hardware accelerator based on MPPA architecture.

Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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.

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:

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
10. A customer has contacted DIMSI to
make a global analysis of their
server compute usage.
After a move to the cloud end
2020, they lost control on budget
and are no longer able to a have
clear overview of their expenses
(iops, bandwidth, etc)
The Project
❑ There is no devops process, and
every comiter is free to define
his own methodology
❑ They still have legacy hardware
❑ They now want to get control
back on their usages and
expenses

16.
17. Step 2 : Strategy
Hybrid Strategy
• Repatriate On Premise Poc, dev environment and
non critical workload to reduce cloud hosting costs
• Keep critical workloads, such as pre-prod and production that need geo clustering,
high level of redundancy and scaling in Azure
▪ Use CloudStack for its IaaS capabilities to leverage the hardware
▪ Use same tech on cloud and on premise: Kubernetes with Azure functions / AWS Lambda
▪ Rely on the Cloudstack Kubernetes service
