This document compares different approaches for performing zero downtime upgrades of applications hosted on Microsoft Azure: Web Deploy, VIP-swap, load balanced endpoints, and Traffic Manager. Web Deploy allows automatic updates of web roles with minor changes but requires an RDP connection. VIP-swap uses DNS swapping to test upgrades on a staging environment with fast redirection. Load balanced endpoints provides easy scaling but requires manual upgrades and running multiple versions simultaneously. Traffic Manager also uses DNS for isolated testing and fast redirection between environments, but incurs additional costs.
Amazon EC2 Container Service is a highly scalable, fast, container management service that makes it easy to run, stop, and manage Docker containers on a cluster of Amazon EC2 instances. Part of ECS is Amazon EC2 Container Registry (ECR). Amazon ECR is a fully-managed Docker container registry that makes it easy for developers to store, manage, and deploy Docker container images. This session will describe how you can use ECS and ECR for your applications.

DPC 2016 - 53 Minutes or Less - Architecting For Failurebenwaine
An increasing amount of web and business applications are hosted on the cloud. It’s easy: a few clicks, api calls or a script written with your favourite IaaS provider and your application is launched and available to your consumers.
That’s the problem, it’s deceptively easy to make an application available. It’s much harder to make an application reliably available. The much touted “four nines” - 99.99% availability means your application must be consistently available for all but 53 minutes a year.
Using AWS as an example this talk covers the choices you must make when hosting an application from the network up. Choices around Regions, Availability Zones, Service Discovery, Deployment and Maintenance all have a major impact on up time.
The practice of “Chaos Engineering” made famous by Netflix is demonstrated as a way to validate the choices you’ve made and help prepare you for the worst.
Multi-master, multi-region MySQL deployment in Amazon AWSContinuent
MySQL data rules the cloud, but recent experience shows us that there's no substitute for maintaining copies of data, across availability zones and regions, when it comes to Amazon Web Services (AWS) data resilience.
In this webinar, we discuss the multi-master capabilities of Continuent Tungsten to help you build and manage systems that spread data across multiple sites. We cover important topics such as setting up large scale topologies, handling failures, and how to handle data privacy issues like removing personally identifiable information or handling privacy law restrictions on data movement. We will conclude with a live demonstration of a distributed MySQL solution with Continuent Tungsten clusters working across multiple AWS availability zones and regions.

GCPLA Meetup Workshop - Migration from a Legacy Infrastructure to the CloudSamuel Chow
Interactive Workshop on discussing the target architecture and migration plan of migrating a legacy, on-premise IT infrastructure to Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
This session, led by James Hamilton, VP and Distinguished Engineer, gives an insider view of some the innovations that help make the AWS cloud unique. He will show examples of AWS networking innovations from the interregional network backbone, through custom routers and networking protocol stack, all the way down to individual servers.

Linux Kernel vs DPDK: HTTP Performance ShowdownScyllaDB
In this session I will use a simple HTTP benchmark to compare the performance of the Linux kernel networking stack with userspace networking powered by DPDK (kernel-bypass).
It is said that kernel-bypass technologies avoid the kernel because it is "slow", but in reality, a lot of the performance advantages that they bring just come from enforcing certain constraints.
As it turns out, many of these constraints can be enforced without bypassing the kernel. If the system is tuned just right, one can achieve performance that approaches kernel-bypass speeds, while still benefiting from the kernel's battle-tested compatibility, and rich ecosystem of tools.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:

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.
