Thriving in the cloud: Going beyond the 12 factors

Enabling applications to really thrive (and not just survive) in cloud environments can be challenging. The original 12 factor app methodology helped to lay out some of the key characteristics needed for cloud-native applications... but... as our cloud infrastructure and tooling has progressed, so too have these factors.
In this session we'll dive into the extended and updated 15 factors needed to build cloud native applications that are able to thrive in this environment, and we'll take a look at open source technologies and tools that can help us achieve this.

Why Jakarta EE Developers are First-Class Citizens on Azure

Reza Rahman (Microsoft Corp.)

Java EE/Jakarta EE is an important technology to support on Azure. Enterprise Java is a heterogenous ecosystem with as much as a third of workloads still running on Java EE/Jakarta EE application servers such as WebLogic, WebSphere/Open Liberty, JBoss EAP, WildFly, and Payara. This is particularly true for large enterprises that need to lift and shift their existing mission-critical, largely monolithic applications to Azure. Traditionally, Azure has not focused on strong support for such workloads but that is changing now and going forward.

Jakarta EE on Azure Magic Mystery Show

Reza Rahman (Microsoft Corp.)

This fast-paced, demo-driven, entirely slide free session will show you the many ways of effectively deploying a Jakarta EE application to Azure. We will start by deploying a local Jakarta EE application to basic IaaS on Azure. We will then deploy the same application to a managed Azure PaaS. Finally we will deploy the application to Azure using Docker and Kubernetes. We will discuss the trade-offs of each approach on the way, offering guidelines for which approach might be best for your application on the cloud.

The Future of Digital In a COVID-19 Era (Sponsored by Huawei)

BRYAN CHE (Huawei)

COVID-19 has been a terrible blight upon the world. It has also greatly accelerated the adoption and transformation of digital technologies, especially around open source, cloud, and AI. Around the world, including in Europe and in China, there are also large new investments into digital technologies to spur economic recovery, such as Next Generation EU.

This presentation will discuss the future of digital technologies and the policies that will shape them in this COVID-19 era. And, it will also consider why there is good reason to hope for recovery based on these trends.

What does cloud-native mean anyway? (sponsored by IBM)

Alasdair Nottingham (IBM)

For the last few years the terms cloud-native and microservice architecture have been used interchangeably. However recently people have ceased to view microservices as the go-to solution for all problems, reflecting a growing maturity in our understanding of how to best take advantage of the benefits of cloud computing.

Pushing Semantic Digital Twins and Bots to the Edge with Kura, Kapua and RDF4J to control distributed SmartGrid systems

Alexey Ivanov (MIPT University, Laboratory of Applied Research)

Traditional IoT Gateways often serve as a proxy between devices and a Cloud where all control operations take place. It mainly requires time-series dataflow processing.

Coordination and control operations require a stateful model of the observed environment in terms of high-level business objects (“as is” and “to be”), derived from low-level sensor data. Eclipse Ditto or other Digital Twins As a Service systems could be used on the Cloud to store and query a state of devices and assets and decouple it from implementation details of drivers and protocols.

What is Low Code Development?

Yordan Pavlov (SAP SE)

Nedelcho Delchev (SAP SE)

Low-code development is a visual way of application development. Low-code allows developers with various experience levels to create web and mobile applications, using drag-and-drop to model application components.

There are two major ways for low-code development at the moment:
