Surati Tech Talks 2022 / Build reliable Svelte applications using CypressMaurice De Beijer [MVP]
Tired of having users email you that your Svelte application is broken? Turns out that building reliable applications is hard and requires a lot of testing. You can write unit tests but quite often these all pass and the application is still broken. Why? Because they test parts of the application in isolation. But for a reliable application we need more. We need to make sure that all parts, including the backend API’s, work together as intended.
Cypress is a great tool to achieve this. It will test you complete web application in the browser and use it like a real world user would. In this session Maurice will show you how to use Cypress during development and on the CI server with Svelte. He will share tips and tricks to make your tests more resilient and more like how an actual end user would behave.
Ansible is tool for Configuration Management. The big difference to Chef and Puppet is, that Ansible doesn't need a Master and doesn't need a special client on the servers. It works completely via SSH and the configuration is done in Yaml.
These slides give a short introduction & motivation for Ansible.

In this talk I outline the growth of PowerShell's ability to manage the infrastructure stack. I highlight some core challenges, and provide potential solutions for future challenges and environments at scale.
Automating the Next Generation DatacenterJosh Atwell
The datacenter is undergoing a tremendous shift. Additional abstraction layers, changes to virtualization frameworks, the rise of containers, the proliferation of policy based management, and increasing infrastructure extensibility are creating tremendous automation capabilities for datacenters of all sizes. The mission to enable the apps is the same, but the ways we do that are starting to change. In this session we'll discuss these new paradigms and the tools and methodologies that have sprung up to support them.
VMUG Melbourne - DevOps - Not Just for Open Source and UnicornsJosh Atwell
Presented at the 2017 Melbourne VMUG UserCon event:
https://www.vmug.com/Attend/VMUG-UserCon/Melbourne-VMUG-UserCon-2017
DevOps is sweeping the IT industry like no other movement since server virtualization. It's changing the way IT is operating, how it delivers value, and the economics around IT. A prevailing view is that DevOps is only happening in the most open and unique places. In this talk we will explore the variety of areas where DevOps is being applied successfully. I'll discus how the tools (VMware, PowerShell, Puppet) and frameworks that support our traditional VMware virtualized environment come to bear in this new framework. I'll dig deeper into the methodologies of DevOps and how they affect the way our virtual environments are managed and drive value. Once we reach the impressive summary slide, attendees should have a stronger view of how their skills apply in this new framework.

223: Modernization and Migrating from the ESB to ContainersTrevor Dolby
This presentation was originally presented at IBM TechCon 2021. In it, we will cover best practices when migrating your existing integration landscape to ACE v12, and talk you through practical considerations for moving to a more agile integration architecture. We will discuss deployment topologies and frequently raised concerns when deploying into containers.
“I have stopped counting how many times I’ve done this from scratch” - was one of the responses to the tweet about starting the project called Spring Cloud Pipelines. Every company sets up a pipeline to take code from your source control, through unit testing and integration testing, to production from scratch. Every company creates some sort of automation to deploy its applications to servers. Enough is enough - time to automate that and focus on delivering business value.
In this presentation we’ll go through the contents of the Spring Cloud Pipelines project. We’ll start a new project for which we’ll have a deployment pipeline set up in no time. We’ll deploy to Cloud Foundry (but we also could do it with Kubernetes) and check if our application is backwards compatible so that we can roll it back on production.

KVM High Availability Regardless of Storage - Gabriel Brascher, VP of Apache ...ShapeBlue
Having High Availability enabled for KVM Hosts can improve greatly the QoS by handling (fence/recover) a problematic Host as well as re-starting its stopped VMs on healthy hosts. However, there is a limitation on CloudStack HA for KVM; it relies mainly on NFS heartbeat script checks. This Talk illustrates how CloudStack HA works for KVM hosts and it presents a way of improving its implementation in a way that KVM HA works with any storage system pluggable on KVM, not just NFS.

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.

Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
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.

Virtual datacenters and cloud environments are growing larger and more complex.
New features and components are added.
New dependencies are created.
The responsibilities of each individual are growing.
The need to ensure consistency and eliminating human error is high.
The cost of misconfigurations in labor and business dollars is often difficult to quantify but everyone knows that it is there.
You are one person with more work and responsibilities then most of us can manage in a 40 hour work week. You can turn this around with automation. You can increase your productivity and more importantly your accuracy.
