Implementing Fast IT Deploying Applications at the Pace of Innovation Cisco DevNet
Fast innovation requires Fast IT: the new model for IT that transforms the way we deliver new business application capabilities to our clients.
Cisco IT has created solutions that enable automated provisioning of environments and fast deployment of cloud applications through “Software Development-as-a-Service”.
In this session, we’ll provide a hands-on experience of how application teams use an automated toolset to combine quality and agility, while reducing operational expense. We’ll also provide a view of the key technologies that enable this solution.
Finally, there’s a quick glimpse into what’s next: containerization and IOE Application Enablement.
Automate Your Container Deployments SecurelyDevOps.com
Operations seeking to make their apps and APIs both performant and available to their users must bake effective application security tooling into their processes and infrastructure configurations. How can development and operations teams release at increasing velocity with app protection built into their CI/CD pipeline?
A true next-generation, holistic web application and API protection platform does just that: operations teams can integrate security into their workflows and ensure new infrastructure and app code released to production is both effective and secure in any environment from cloud using containers to datacenters to a hybrid of these.
Join application security expert Aneel Dadani from Signal Sciences to learn how your team can automate, deploy at scale safely while gaining layer 7 visibility in production environments.
Attendees will learn:
What constitutes effective application security within the context of cloud adoption and an ever expanding threat landscape
How development teams can gain visibility into how their apps and APIs are being used in production and what vulnerabilities may exist that they overlooked
How DevOps teams can scale their application footprint to meet demand while securing your codebase in production
How to inspect request traffic at the API gateway or the ingress
This document discusses how NetFlow Analyzer can help with bandwidth monitoring and management challenges. It provides an overview of NetFlow Analyzer's capabilities for gaining visibility into network traffic, managing traffic across LAN, WAN and wireless networks, identifying and resolving network issues faster, controlling unnecessary bandwidth usage, and preventing security threats. Key benefits highlighted include real-time and historical traffic monitoring and reporting, troubleshooting capabilities, traffic grouping and analysis, alerting, and affordable pricing starting at $595 for 10 interfaces. A case study is also presented on how NetFlow Analyzer helped a large healthcare organization address network downtime issues and reduce bandwidth costs.
This document discusses how IT operations teams can monitor and troubleshoot hybrid cloud infrastructures using ManageEngine Applications Manager. It provides an overview of the benefits of hybrid cloud models and the management challenges they pose. It then describes how Applications Manager offers integrated monitoring of on-premises and cloud environments from a single console, supports over 100 applications out of the box, maps application dependencies, helps find issues faster with alarms and diagnostics, and automates corrective actions.
- The document discusses how Applications Manager can help optimize application performance for an e-commerce site experiencing issues during a flash sale, including slow page loads, errors, and site unavailability.
- It describes how Applications Manager can monitor site availability, end user experience, web application performance, reverse proxies, and detect website defacement using tools like HTTP monitors, real browser monitoring, APM Insight, JVM monitoring, and website content monitoring.
- The goal is to provide visibility into the user journey, transaction performance, errors, and system components to troubleshoot and optimize the application.
Smart gateways are critical to Industry 4.0. They can react locally if the network is down, add security functions, reduce latency and minimize traffic. Applications running on intelligent gateways are hard to program, since they need to interact concurrently with many other devices and interfaces, be monitored remotely, and work reliably all the time, while working autonomously
The document discusses two cloud design patterns: the Circuit Breaker pattern and the Gatekeeper pattern. The Circuit Breaker pattern provides a way to protect applications from faulty external systems by routing requests through a circuit breaker that can open, closing, or half-open the circuit. The Gatekeeper pattern decouples the code that exposes public endpoints from the code that processes requests and accesses data to minimize access to sensitive information and services.

ICS Cybersecurity: How to Protect the Proprietary Cyber Assets That Hackers C...EnergySec
Presenter: David Zahn, PAS
Industrial control systems represent the brass ring for hackers who want to disrupt plant operations and negatively impact safety and productivity. The problem for cybersecurity professionals is that plants have highly vulnerable proprietary control systems where configuration data is not visible via standard WMI or SNMP calls. Yet, it is this same configuration data, such as I/O cards, firmware, installed software, and more, that hackers work hard to attain as it aids them in gaining control over industrial systems within plants.
As the saying goes, “you can’t manage what you can’t measure.” Taking inventory of this hidden configuration data and doing so for all control assets is difficult. Plants as a result fall short of achieving centralized, automated inventory – a cybersecurity best practice and a necessary precursor to effective change management. So how do you address change management when important security data is kept locked within each vendor’s distributed control systems, programmable logic controllers, and remote terminal units?
In this session, we’ll explore the types of inventory data that comprise a best practices cyber security plan. Next, we will dive into cost effective, accurate automation opportunities for inventory discovery and maintenance of heterogeneous proprietary and non-proprietary control assets. Finally, we’ll present a case study for implementing best practices for hardening ICS cyber security and automating management of change.

Technologies You Need to Safely Use the CloudCloudPassage
There are three main types of cloud services discussed in the document:
1) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) requires technologies to verify workload integrity, alert to unauthorized changes, and track incidents as the provider cannot do this. Point solutions and broader providers offer these controls.
2) Software as a Service (SaaS) presents risks if providers mishandle sensitive data or have authentication/application weaknesses exploited. Users should control access and encrypt data.
3) Governance is needed to track cloud service use, as without it companies lack visibility into how data is used and exposed. Technologies help monitor usage and set policies to mitigate risks and protect data.

Serverless/Frugal Architecture describes the benefits of serverless computing including continuous scaling, developer productivity, and fully managed operations. It discusses AWS Lambda's programming model of handlers, contexts, events, and asynchronous exceptions. Lambda supports various languages and has resource limits. Serverless computing is gaining adoption with Amazon Lambda as the pioneer, and other cloud providers like IBM, Microsoft, and Google developing their own serverless offerings. Challenges of serverless include testing, state management, and lack of observability. Open source projects are also emerging in this space like OpenWhisk.
Serverless computing is an emerging cloud computing model where the cloud provider manages resources and scales applications automatically in response to demand. With serverless, developers focus on writing code for independent, stateless functions rather than worrying about servers. Serverless platforms support automatic scaling, pay-per-use pricing, and event-driven computing using functions as the basic unit. While serverless offers benefits like reduced costs and management overhead, it also presents drawbacks like vendor lock-in and lack of debugging access.

Scaling FME Flow on Demand with Kubernetes: A Case Study At Cadac Group SaaS ...Safe Software
In today’s data-driven world, efficiency is key. For Cadac, a Dutch leading provider of SaaS solutions and Autodesk Platinum partner, ensuring that customers can process data on demand is crucial to delivering a seamless experience. However, with fluctuating user demand, a challenge emerged: How do we scale FME Flow to meet on-the-fly processing needs without over-investing in infrastructure? Enter Kubernetes and KEDA (Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling). In this presentation, we will explore how these cutting-edge technologies helped dynamically scale FME Flow engines based on real-time demand, without wasting resources. Instead of relying on the standard Kubernetes autoscaling based on CPU and RAM metrics, which can lead to ineffective scaling, KEDA can integrate directly with the FME Flow REST API. This allowed autoscaling based on the actual number and type of jobs in the queue. Now, whenever demand spikes, Kubernetes automatically spins up additional machines tailored to the type of workload—whether it’s CPU-intensive tasks or memory-heavy processes—ensuring optimal performance and cost-efficiency. While afterwards also autoscaling to zero, to reduce costs. Join us as we dive into how this approach helped Cadac scale on demand, reduce infrastructure costs, and provide a better experience for their customers. This session will feature both a technical walkthrough and insights on the real-world impact and value this solution has delivered to their platform and client.

Integrating Survey123 and R&H Data Using FMESafe Software
West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) actively engages in several field data collection initiatives using Collector and Survey 123. A critical component for effective asset management and enhanced analytical capabilities is the integration of Geographic Information System (GIS) data with Linear Referencing System (LRS) data. Currently, RouteID and Measures are not captured in Survey 123. However, we can bridge this gap through FME Flow automation. When a survey is submitted through Survey 123 for ArcGIS Portal (10.8.1), it triggers FME Flow automation. This process uses a customized workbench that interacts with a modified version of Esri's Geometry to Measure API. The result is a JSON response that includes RouteID and Measures, which are then applied to the feature service record.

Eliminate the complexities of Event-Driven Architecture with Domain-Driven De...SheenBrisals
The distributed nature of modern applications and their architectures brings a great level of complexity to engineering teams. Though API contracts, asynchronous communication patterns, and event-driven architecture offer assistance, not all enterprise teams fully utilize them. While adopting cloud and modern technologies, teams are often hurried to produce outcomes without spending time in upfront thinking. This leads to building tangled applications and distributed monoliths. For those organizations, it is hard to recover from such costly mistakes.
In this talk, Sheen will explain how enterprises should decompose by starting at the organizational level, applying Domain-Driven Design, and distilling to a level where teams can operate within a boundary, ownership, and autonomy. He will provide organizational, team, and design patterns and practices to make the best use of event-driven architecture by understanding the types of events, event structure, and design choices to keep the domain model pure by guarding against corruption and complexity.

Invited Talk at RAISE 2025: Requirements engineering for AI-powered SoftwarE Workshop co-located with ICSE, the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering.
Abstract: Foundation Models (FMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in various natural language tasks. However, their ability to accurately capture stakeholder requirements remains a significant challenge for using FMs for software development. This paper introduces a novel approach that leverages an FM-powered multi-agent system called AlignMind to address this issue. By having a cognitive architecture that enhances FMs with Theory-of-Mind capabilities, our approach considers the mental states and perspectives of software makers. This allows our solution to iteratively clarify the beliefs, desires, and intentions of stakeholders, translating these into a set of refined requirements and a corresponding actionable natural language workflow in the often-overlooked requirements refinement phase of software engineering, which is crucial after initial elicitation. Through a multifaceted evaluation covering 150 diverse use cases, we demonstrate that our approach can accurately capture the intents and requirements of stakeholders, articulating them as both specifications and a step-by-step plan of action. Our findings suggest that the potential for significant improvements in the software development process justifies these investments. Our work lays the groundwork for future innovation in building intent-first development environments, where software makers can seamlessly collaborate with AIs to create software that truly meets their needs.

4. Adopt the lean startup methodology:
Business Hypothesis needs to be validated
Only invest time and money on non-risky projects
If you fail, fail fast. Then learn and retry.
We need less overhead in our development
Focus on building the product:
Remove the boring and hard part around managing
your infrastructure
Timing is a major key of success
4/18
5. Internet based systems where application process rely on:
1. A combination of 3rd party services: Backend As A Service
2. Remote procedure calls: Function As A Service
3. Rich client-side logic
Basically, write scalable code without having to think about
details of the container, operating system or infrastructure that
run the program
Only pay for what you use
Connecting APIs to avoid hosting and managing servers

A Function
Stateless:
Running in an
ephemeral
containers
Pricing Model:
Pay per execution
count and length
Scaling & High
Availability:
Automatic
Execute code, without managing servers, based on direct
invocations or events
Use your own language
Zip and upload.
Choose the amount of
memory you need.
RAM, Disk and
Processes are not
persistent.
Do not count on them!
Usually, pay per 100ms.
Direct consequences of
running optimised code
Each vendor has its own
limits. However, there is
no SLA guaranteed (yet).

9. Standard Web App,
All the logic is on the servers
Serverless: More logic in the
client. Use of multiple services.
Implies the need to manage
monitoring and security on each
component.
Web Application Pattern
AWS API Gateway /
Google Cloud Endpoints:
Gateway/Proxy for HTTP Calls.
Manage authentication, caching,
monitoring, throttling.
Update requests on the fly

10. Recurring Jobs:
Log analysis, SSL Checks, Backups…
Use of a scheduler / source of trigger
Multiple notifications channels, log file
Automations
Event Driven:
Processing files upload,
Reacting to database key change,
New created user…
10/18
11. Presenting the Fan Out Pattern
Batch Processing
Process huge volume of data on a regular basis
Non-interactive background job
Apply the MapReduce programming model to serverless
Speed depends on the number of invoked concurrent functions
Save state in any storage / database depending on your data structure
11/18
12. Stream Processing
Process non-interrupted stream of data in near real-time
Handle spiky traffic and message ordering
Use of Kinesis or a Message Queueing Service to store data
Beware of poisoning messages & be prepared for Lambda failures (DLQ)
Then process those data subsets by calling functions concurrently
Tune your functions capacities and concurrent calls to keep up with ingest rate
12/18
13. Demo
Write and deploy your entire serverless infrastructure using only
configuration files and functions
Handle multiple vendors
Serverless Framework

15. Custom OAuth Authentication
Typical use case where 2 functions make you avoid provisioning a server, setting up the system and the
development environment, its security, installing a reverse proxy, monitoring it and managing it over time…
15/18
16. Overall Benefits and Drawbacks
Benefits
Costs: Don’t pay for idle, overall less Ops work
Scale: Managed by the vendor, no over-provisioning anymore
High-Availability: automatic availability zones redundancy
Ops: Easy to maintain and deploy
Time: focus on code only
Greener: shared environment
Drawbacks
Beware of Vendor lock-in: migrations won’t be easy
Multi tenancy problems: security, robustness, performances
More front-end development required
Stateless changes the way to code, might require additional component
Startup latency and network dependencies
Debugging, Versioning, Testing and Monitoring can be tricky: need more tools
16/18
17. Conclusion
Serverless is not a correct approach for every problem
since it still has major drawbacks: latency, vendor lock-in…
But it is awesome when applied to lean methodology: deliver
fast, get feedbacks quickly.
Easy to get started: take advantage of the “free tier”
plan provided by vendors.
Bring huge opportunities for engineers with both
infrastructure and development skills.
