Priming Your Teams For Microservice Deployment to the Cloud
Priming Your Teams For Microservice Deployment to the CloudMatt Callanan You think of a great idea for a microservice and want to ship it to production as quickly as possible. Of course you'll need to create a Git repo with a codebase that reuses libraries you share with other services. And you'll want a build and a basic test suite. You'll want to deploy it to immutable servers using infrastructure as code that dev and ops can maintain. Centralised logging, monitoring, and HipChat notifications would also be great. Of course you'll want a load balancer and a CNAME that your other microservices can hit. You'd love to have blue-green deploys and the ability to deploy updates at any time through a Continuous Delivery pipeline. Phew! How long will it take to set all this up? A couple of days? A week? A month?
What if you could do all of this within 30 minutes? And with a click of a button soon be receiving production traffic?
Matt introduces "Primer", Expedia's microservice generation and deployment platform that enables rapid experimentation in the cloud, how it's caused unprecedented rates of learning, and explain tips and tricks on how to build one yourself with practical takeaways for everyone from the startup to the enterprise.

Docker Security
Docker SecurityBladE0341 Clair is a container vulnerability analysis service that scans container layers to detect known vulnerabilities without executing the container. It provides a list of vulnerabilities that threaten each container. The analyze-local-images tool allows analyzing local Docker images with Clair by copying an image ID. Logging multiple Docker containers can be automated by sending their logs to Logstash for indexing in Elasticsearch with a Kibana frontend, monitored alongside metrics from Cadvisor. SELinux applies Mandatory Access Control to Docker containers using the svirt_lxc_net_t type to improve security. It isolates processes but allows reading from most host labels.

Docker and Cloud - Enables for DevOps - by ACA-ITStijn Wijndaele DevOps is gericht op het tot stand brengen van een cultuur binnen organisaties waardoor het ontwikkelen, valideren en releasen van software sneller, meer betrouwbaar en frequenter kan verlopen. Om dit te realiseren staan het automatiseren van het 'software delivery process' en de bijhorende infrastructurele veranderingen centraal. Door de opkomst van 'Microservice Architecture' neemt het belang hiervan nog verder toe.
The free software history and communities’ journey ahead
The free software history and communities’ journey aheadRicardo Amaro "The reason why open source happened, the reason it started, was because the people who make software are artists and craftsmen. They are not just mindless drones, that show up every day and put in their hours. They spend their evenings, their weekends, unbelievable amounts of time crafting this software. And they wanna see it used by the most people, and they wanna see it used for the best purposes, typically, and they didn’t see that happening in the proprietary software world, not any of the proprietary software companies. And so they decided – because they could – to write their own world!"

Outlyer In this talk we look at the challenges of taking docker and using it as the basis for a cloud platform. We highlight the work done by one of our own Cloudsoft engineers Andrea Turli who has contributed an Apache jclouds provider for Docker and integrated this with the open source project Brooklyn.
Andrea has written about this in a recent blog post AMP for Docker and so using this as a starting point we show how we are building on this to create a lightweight dynamic Docker cloud and compare and contrast this with work we are doing with our latest partner Waratek to help them create a similar lightweight dynamic Java cloud using their Java application container technology.

Write a better FM
Write a better FMRich Bowen - The document discusses best practices for open source documentation based on the author's experience with PHP and Apache documentation.
- Key points include organizing the documentation team outside of the core development team, being welcoming to contributions, understanding your different audiences and their needs, listening to the questions users actually ask rather than assumptions, and providing thorough examples.
- The author advocates for patience, addressing the "laziness, impatience, and hubris" that can prevent good documentation, and testing all examples to ensure accuracy.
Validating Ideas Through Prototyping
Validating Ideas Through PrototypingChris Risdon This document discusses validating design ideas through prototyping. It covers why prototyping is important to fail early and cheaply before investing significant time and money. It discusses different types of prototypes including interactive prototypes to test usability and narrative prototypes to convey stories. The document provides guidance on what to prototype including risky functionality, core interactions, content organization, and application patterns. It also discusses evaluating prototypes against design principles and criteria. The key messages are that prototyping allows testing concepts and ideas early, making multiple prototypes to test different concepts, and using prototypes to gather user feedback before refining designs.

Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.
