Web services emerged from developments in structured programming, object-oriented programming, distributed computing, and the World Wide Web. While HP proposed the concept in 1999, Microsoft introduced the term "web services" in 2000 and made web services a strategic priority. Web services use open standards including XML, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI. They provide advantages like open standards, modularity, and lower implementation costs. Real-world examples of web services include UC-Berkeley unifying communications and Eastman Chemical providing real-time product access to distributors. Security standards for web services include WS-Security, WS-Policy, WS-Trust, and others.
Service oriented architecture (SOA) deserves service oriented dataShahid Shah
Centralized, monolithic databases primarily built using relational approaches have ruled for decades; they’ve given us tremendous advances such as vertically scaled business-critical transactional systems and web applications. The next generation of microapps, microservices, and web widgets demand a scale that vertical scale application-centric relational databases are having difficulty with so we need to move to a more service-oriented database approach in which even small services like those that service patients in a patient portal or specific modules of EHRs can and should have their own databases.
This talk encourages the idea of service-focused databases and how they differ from application-centric databases; using this new approach allows faster delivery of applications, less coupling, and better scalability. Healthcare and biomedical databases are notoriously complex and no single database technology can serve its needs so we need a more service-oriented approach to database design.
You’ll learn how to choose the right database technology for each service, how to model service-oriented databases differently than application-oriented ones, and how to keep service databases running smoothly.

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.

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:
Bob Boule

2. History
• Structured programming
• Object-oriented programming
• Distributed computing
• Electronic data interchange
• World Wide Web
• Web services
3. Who Was First?
• What company first proposed the web
services concept?
– Hewlett-Packard's e-Speak in 1999
– was an enabler for e-services
– Microsoft introduced the name "web services" in
June 2000
– MS "bet the company" on its web services
strategy
– now every major vendor is a player
4. Open, Standard Technologies
• XML – tagging data such that it can be
exchanged between applications and
platforms
• SOAP – messaging protocol for transporting
information and instructions between
applications (uses XML)
5. Open, Standard Technologies
• WSDL – a standard method of describing web
services and their specific capabilities (XML)
• UDDI – defines XML-based rules for building
directories in which companies advertise
themselves and their web services
6. Advantages
• Open, text-based standards
• Modular approach
• Inexpensive to implement (relatively)
• Reduce the cost of enterprise application
integration
• Incremental implementation
7. Real Web Services
• UC-Berkeley
– Unified Communications Technical Project
– unify email, voice, and fax into in-boxes accessible
from cell phones, PDAs, or e-mail clients
• Eastman Chemical Company
– distributors access chemical catalog in real-time
and push info to customers
8. Real Web Services
• Accenture
– Live Information Models
– stock traders access real-time information from a
single terminal
• Dollar Rent-a-Car + Southwest Airlines
– Southwest runs Unix
– Dollar runs MS Windows
– Dollar turned its system into a web service

– web service interoperability organization (WS-I);
promote interoperability among services created
in different languages and platforms; white
papers, news, FAQs
14. The Big Picture
Client
UDDI Registry
WSDL
Document
Web Service Code
Client queries registry to locate service
Registry refers client to WSDL document
Client accesses WSDL document
WSDL provides data to interact with web service
Client sends SOAP-message request
Web service returns SOAP-message response
15. XML
• Developed from Standard Generalized
Markup Method (SGML)
• XML widely supported by W3C
• Essential characteristic is the separation of
content from presentation
• XML describes only data
• Any application that understands XML can
exchange data
16. XML
• XML parser checks syntax
• If syntax is good the document is well-formed
• XML document can optionally reference a
Document Type Definition (DTD), also called a
Schema
• If an XML document adheres to the structure
of the schema it is valid
17. SOAP
• SOAP enables between distributed systems
• SOAP message has three parts
– envelope – wraps entire message and contains
header and body
– header – optional element with additional info
such as security or routing
– body – application-specific data being
commuicated
18. WSDL
• Web services are self-describing
• Description is written in WSDL, an XML-based
language through which a web service
conveys to applications the methods that the
service provides and how those methods are
accessed
• WSDL is meant to be read by applications (not
humans)
19. UDDI
• UDDI defines an XML-based format that
describes electronic capabilities and business
processes
• Entries are stored in a UDDI registry
• UDDI Business Registry (UBR)
– "white pages" – contact info, description
– "yellow pages" – classification info, details
– "green pages" – technical data
– uddi.microsoft.com
20. OASIS
• Not competition to W3C
• Ensure that businesses acquire e-business
tools that meet their needs
• United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation
and Electronic Business produced Electronic
Business XML (ebXML)
