Is there such a thing as a private cloud?
Cloudscaling's Troy Angrignon participated in a panel on private cloud at Citrix Synergy 2011 in San Francisco on May 26, 2011. The conclusions:
- All three of the panelists agreed that there is such a thing as private cloud.
- Carpathia specializes in building high complexity custom private clouds.
- There are two types of clouds: legacy clouds for highly regulated, complex client/server type IT stacks and webscale clouds for less regulated, web/mobile, greenfield and simpler stacks that need to scale.
- Panel discussed how those two models (legacy cloud and webscale cloud) could be found inside (private) or outside (public).
- Key is to realize that applications should always be moved to the platform that is appropriate for the application, use case, regulatory requirement, elasticity requirement.

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).

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.

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.

5. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides a
definition:
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand
network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources
(e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be
rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or
service provider interaction.
In simple words: Flexible hosted resource pools delivered on the internet
6. On-demand Self Service – Ready to use services; minimal intervention
from provider.
Broad Network Access – Access wider network services.
Resource Pooling – Pool resources on demand like Compute, Memory,
Storage/disk etc.
Rapid Elasticity – Scale up and down, out and in with demand.
Measured Service – Metered Usage & Billing – Pay as you go and only
for the what is used; “Opex vs. Capex.”
Multi-tenant – Usually share the platforms with others; but not always.
7. Public Cloud – External premises, multi-tenant, self-provisoned public
service over the internet offered by vendor, available to all. Utility
Computing Model.
Private Cloud – Internal or external premises, single-tenant, tightly
controlled access.
Hybrid Cloud – Combination of the above – some resources private,
others public; or public during heavy load, etc.
Community Cloud – A cloud infrastructure shared by similar
organizations for mutual benefit. Popular with Universities and
Governments.

13. "Cloud Management" is a loose term that means the
abstraction of infrastructure resource pools and delivery of
those resources through a standardized design and
operational process. To the end user this means the ability
to leverage the infrastructure pool most relevant to a
project or environment rather then force fitting an
application or service into the infrastructure you already
have (or have access to)
In other words: Cloud Management means 'providing value
added services on top of users existing Cloud services, and
empowering users to do more than is possible from a single
Cloud vendor'.
14. Todays IT environment – Legacy processes and policies to tools and
management that are not cloud enabled yet?
Multi-Clouds – Too Many clouds, each one follows different architecture? API’s
differ (Different formats, resources, encodings), Abstractions and features
differ, (Network, Storage, hypervisors) .
Too Many tools – Too many management tools doing the same (or) different
things for different clouds and trying to solve the same problem “Managing the
cloud”?
Orchestration of Services – The main challenge is to cobble the best of breed
services into one unified solution.
Management Consoles – Most clouds are a set of APIs and/or a simple UI to
launch servers . These are basic building blocks, not a management system.
Not very business friendly, needs technical knowledge.
15. Automation – Legacy processes and policies to tools and management
that are not cloud enabled yet?
Cloud Ready Solutions – Too many management tools doing the same
(or) different things for different clouds and trying to solve the same
problem “Managing the cloud”?
Governance and Control – Monitoring, User Management,
Accountability and Billing
Portability – So, why just run everything in one data center.
