* real-time entry of market rates
* end of day rate integrity
* common errors in manual spreadsheets
* success of backup processes
* validity conditions in MS SQL databases
* routine tracking of known chronic errors

AWS re:Invent 2016: Configuration Management in the Cloud (DEV305)Amazon Web Services
To ensure that your application operates in a predictable manner in both your test and production environments, you must vigilantly maintain the configuration of your resources. By leveraging configuration management solutions, Dev and Ops engineers can define the state of their resources across their entire lifecycle. In this session, we will show you how to use AWS OpsWorks, AWS CodeDeploy, and AWS CodePipeline to build a reliable and consistent development pipeline that assures your production workloads behave in a predictable manner.

Atmosphere 2014: Really large scale systems configuration - Phil DibowitzPROIDEA
For many years, Facebook managed its systems with cfengine2. With many individual clusters over 10k nodes in size, a slew of different constantly-changing system configurations, and small teams, this system was showing its age and the complexity was steadily increasing, limiting its effectiveness and usability. It was difficult to integrate with internal systems, testing was often impractical, and it provided no isolation of configurations, among many other problems. After an extensive evaluation of the tools and paradigms in modern systems configuration management – open source, proprietary, and a potential home-grown solution – we built a system based on the open-source project Chef. The evaluation process involved understanding the direction we wanted to take in managing the next many iterations of systems, clusters, and teams. More importantly, we evaluated the various paradigms behind effective configuration management and the different kinds of scale they provide. What we ended up with is an extremely flexible system that allows a tiny team to manage an incredibly large number of systems with a variety of unique configuration needs. In this talk we will look at the paradigms behind the system we built, the software we chose and why, and the system we built using that software. Further, we will look at how the philosophies we followed can apply to anyone wanting to scale their systems infrastructure.
Phil Dibowitz - Phil Dibowitz has been working in systems engineering for 12 years and is currently a production engineer at Facebook. Initially, he worked on the traffic infrastructure team, automating load balancer configuration management, as well as designing and building the production IPv6 infrastructure. He now leads the team responsible for rebuilding the configuration management system from the ground up. Prior to Facebook, he worked at Google, where he managed the large Gmail environment, and at Ticketmaster, where he co-authored and open sourced a configuration management tool called Spine. He also contributes to, and maintains, various open source projects and has spoken at conferences and LUG’s on a variety of topics from Path MTU Discovery to X509.
Introduction to Infrastructure as Code & Automation / Introduction to ChefNathen Harvey
Your customers expect you to continuously deliver delightful experiences. This means that you’ll need to continuously deliver application and infrastructure updates. Hand-crafted servers lovingly built and maintained by a system administrator are a thing of the past. Golden images are fine for initial provisioning but will quickly fail as your configuration requirements change over time.
It’s time for you to fully automate the provisioning and management of your infrastructure components. Welcome to the world of infrastructure as code! In this new world, you’ll be able to programmatically provision and configure the components of your infrastructure.
Disposable infrastructure whose provisioning, configuration, and on-going maintenance is fully automated allow you to change the way you build and deliver applications. Move your applications and infrastructure towards continuous delivery.
In this talk, we’ll explore the ideas behind “infrastructure as code” and, specifically, look at how Chef allows you to fully automate your infrastructure. If you’re brave enough, we’ll even let you get your hands on some Chef and experience the delight of using Chef to build and deploy some infrastructure components.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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.

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.

52. Search
Search is a first class citizen
# Find all nodes in production that are tagged ‘group_d’
search(:node, “tags:group_d AND chef_environment:prod”)
# Find the mail server in this environment
search (:node, “role:mail_server AND chef_environment:corp”)
Search and Ruby are powerful allies
# Find all my nodes that run on HP hardware
nodes = search(:node, “dmi_systems_manufacturer:HP”)
# Dynamically create a config in a template
<% nodes.each do |node| -%>
server <%= node[‘hostname’] %>
<% end -%>
