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!

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Task 2: Create a quota template
There are two kinds of quotas: a hard quota or a soft quota:
• A hard quota prevents users from saving files after the space limit is reached and generates notifications when the
volume of data reaches each configured threshold.
• A soft quota does not enforce the quota limit but generates all configured notifications.
1- In Server Manager, click Tools, and then click File Server Resource Manager.
In this wizard, create custom 500 MB quota template

Lab 2: Data Deduplication
Data Deduplica%on is a role service (mechanism) of Windows Server 2016 that iden%fies and removes
duplications within data without compromising data integrity. This achieves the goals of storing more data and
using less physical disk space. This lesson explains how to implement Data Deduplica%on in Windows Server 2016
storage.
This feature added from server 2012, but its improved in server 2016
In server 2012 only support par%%on with 10 terabytes, in server 2016 support up to 64 terabyte
Support for file sizes up to 1 TB
Support only NTFS or REFS
Not available for client OS like windows 10
Task 1: Install the Data Deduplication role service
1- On FSRM01, in Server Manager, click Add roles and features.

Lab 4: Storage Pool
Collection of virtual or physical disks that enables cost-effective, high availability, scalable, and flexible storage solutions.
Configuring storage pool
Task 1: Create a storage pool
1- Add 5 virtual disk by using VMWare virtual machine seJngs
2- On FSRM01, in Server Manager, in the navigation pane, click Storage Pools.
28. Windows Server 2016 Storage step by step

Task 4: test What does the parity do when one disk fail (Disconnect one disk)
In this task, remove one disk from 5 that we add it to storage pool
after disk is removed, there is a warning message appear in our virtual parity disk, but the disk still is accessible because
parity disk work with at least 3 disks and we s%ll have 4 disks.
36. Windows Server 2016 Storage step by step

Task 5: recover disk failure with parity
1- Add a new disk with same removed disk size to the server
2- Add the new disk to parity disk group so we can replace the failed disk, as explained in below figures
37. Windows Server 2016 Storage step by step
