Kubernetes as Orchestrator for A10 Lightning ControllerAkshay Mathur
A10 Lightning Application Delivery System (ADS) supports hybrid environments by providing secure application services and advanced analytics across the entire deployment – from traditional on-premise data centers, to public and/or private clouds, or any combination thereof. A10 Lightning employs a controller-based architecture that can self-managed on-premise or in a private cloud, or utilized as a SaaS offering managed by A10, to enable management of heterogeneous workloads across physical hardware-based environments, as well as public, private, and hybrid clouds.
This presentation talks about our journey from a VM based Controller to a Kubernetes based Controller
Common considerations on Serverless architecture, AWS Lambda (including Serverless Framework) and ECS. Also introduces Guanyu, an open-sourced wrapper to Sophos-AV Free edition, as example to demonstrate patterns and tradeoffs in architecture.
Big Data Day LA 2015 - Lessons learned from scaling Big Data in the Cloud by...Data Con LA
Companies analyzing big data help achieve important business objectives such as customer retention, real-time in-context marketing, omni-channel marketing productivity, campaign productivity and operational efficiencies. Cloud-based big data architectures create lower risk, lower startup costs and faster time-to-market. This session will examine the key advantages from deploying big data in the cloud, such as the flexibility to auto scale and the ability to experiment with on-demand and hybrid nodes. We will also discuss lessons learned from big data in the cloud, such as how to avoid bottlenecks by building caches or how to design instances to leverage spotting.
In this presentation I will show you how to setup Laravel and Elasticsearch to quickly build a search engine. This was given at a local meetup in Groningen (Netherlands).
Kafka for Microservices – You absolutely need Avro Schemas! | Gerardo Gutierr...HostedbyConfluent
Whether you are deploying a new application in Microservices or transitioning from a monolithic database application to a cloud-ready architecture, you will inevitably face the decision of either creating a service mesh of API’s – or – using an event bus for better durability, reliability and extensibility of your application. If you choose to go the event bus route, Kafka is an excellent choice for several reasons. One key technology not to overlook is Avro Schemas. They provide a definition for your event payload, just like an API, to ensure all of the event consumers can reliably consume the events. They also handle schema evolution as requirements change and much, much more.
In this talk we will discuss all the nuances and considerations around using Avro Schemas for your JSON event payloads. From developer tools, to DevOps approaches, versioning, governance and some “gotchas” we found when working with Avro Schemas and the Confluent Schema Registry.
Real-time Inverted Search in the Cloud Using Lucene and Stormlucenerevolution
Building real-time notification systems is often limited to basic filtering and pattern matching against incoming records. Allowing users to query incoming documents using Solr's full range of capabilities is much more powerful. In our environment we needed a way to allow for tens of thousands of such query subscriptions, meaning we needed to find a way to distribute the query processing in the cloud. By creating in-memory Lucene indices from our Solr configuration, we were able to parallelize our queries across our cluster. To achieve this distribution, we wrapped the processing in a Storm topology to provide a flexible way to scale and manage our infrastructure. This presentation will describe our experiences creating this distributed, real-time inverted search notification framework.
Implementing Powerful IT Search on the CloudRightScale

Presented by Roberto Masiero, Vice President ADP Innovation Lab, ADP
In this presentation we will cover ADP's Semantic Search strategy and implementation. From the use cases to the design to support semantic searches on a vast set of data, to crawling data from hundreds of data sources. We will also cover our architecture to scale the search service on a multi-tenant SaaS environment.
Enterprise search can grow big, really big! And growing. Tens, yes hundreds of servers may be involved, locally or in the cloud. Managing this has been complex and time consuming - until now :)
SolrCloud to the rescue
Using the world's most popular Open Source search engine, Apache Solr™, we will show you how the new upcoming version 4.0 makes scaling search in the cloud really simple and robust. A new feature called SolrCloud adds centralized configuration, distributed indexing & searching, automatic failover, recovery and leader election. Scaling is now as simple as adding a new server to your cluster and it will find its role where it is most needed and start serving searches.

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.

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.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. 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.
