Using Terraform with Confidence
Filip Chyla
You deployed your infrastructure, and a week later, you get a request to adjust it, based on security findings. Thus the game of ping pong with your security team begins, and they can take a lot of your time and energy. This session aims to provide you with ideas and possible solutions to minimize the number of rounds you need to play with your security team. I will share my ideas on setting up a Terraform pipeline on Github with checks and short feedback loops and deploying it into Google Cloud with confidence.

Cloud Security – It ain’t rocketscience, a variety perspective.
Edzo Botjes
Is a secure cloud possible or an neverending rat-race? We know the debate around “The Cloud Is Just Someone Else's Computer.” The cloud is an technology ecosystem that provided us so much more options than time-share mainframe, multi-user unix systems or patterns as CORBA and RPC could provide us. I'll introduce you into the concept of Variety known from Requise Variety. One of the key attributes of an antifragile IT systems. This concept will help you in design decision on the risk mitigation in the cloud.

08:15Workshop Delta Lake Sharing – Databricks – Nov 4
Kris Geusebroek , Robert Rodger
In May of this year, Databricks released Delta Sharing, an open protocol for the secure exchange of massive datasets. Through the generation of pre-signed, short-lived URLs pointing directly at requested data, and their distribution to authenticated data consumers, Delta Sharing facilitates real-time, platform-agnostic access to an organization’s information. This makes Delta Sharing well-suited as a means to inter-domain dataset distribution in the Data Mesh. Data Mesh is an architectural paradigm that erupted into the public consciousness at around the same time. This code breakfast consists of two parts.
