Run PostgreSQL in Warp Speed Using NVMe/TCP in the CloudDoKC
Run PostgreSQL in Warp Speed Using NVMe/TCP in the Cloud - Sagy Volkov, Lightbits
PostgreSQL as a SQL engine can accommodate a very high-transaction rate, but as your data grows and the number of connections and queries increases, there is a challenge for the storage to keep up with the SQL engine.
To the rescue comes NVMe over TCP (or NVMe/TCP). Developed by Lightbits Labs in 2016 and donated to the Linux community, it is the next evaluation of using NVMe based storage over TCP Fabric. NVMe/TCP simplifies how you interact with remote NVMe devices (targets) and allows your PostgreSQL storage to consume fast storage very easily.
In this session I will explain the core concept of the NVMe/TCP protocol, current storage providers that can use it, how you can consume it in Kubernetes (super easy), and discuss the possibilities of using NVMe/TCP in the cloud.
The session will also include a performance comparison of a few storage that are available in AWS and even a live demo of how PostgreSQL can run super fast - warp speed fast - in AWS.
Build clouds the way some of the world’s biggest public and private clouds are built—using CloudStack. This 60-minute webinar with the Cloudstack team will help you gain a better understanding of the CloudStack architecture and feature set.
CloudStack provides versatile authentication methods to ensure secure access and identity management. This talk explores key authentication mechanisms within CloudStack, including LDAP, SAML, OAuth2, API keys, etc. LDAP integration enables centralized user authentication, while SAML facilitates single sign-on (SSO) across various services. OAuth2 ensures secure authorization for third-party applications, and API keys offer programmatic access to resources. Additionally, CloudStack supports Two-Factor Authentication for an extra layer of security, enhancing user verification through multiple verification steps.

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.

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).

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.

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.
