Synopsis:
Microservices and the one true way
When should you use microservices? Scratch that, what on earth are they? Opinions range from “it’s just SOA, move along”, to “they are just the awesome”, to “you must be insane”. In order to understand when they might be useful - what problems they solve and why - we need to at least know what they are, before semantic diffusion claims them in all it’s ignominy.
The speaker will examine the characteristics of the microservice style using examples from his experiences over the last few years. Topics covered include the reasons you might want to split an application (or not), the benefits and the drawbacks of the style based on these real world experiences. Remember though, Rule 16. Distrust all claims for "one true way”.

Synopsis:
IT and Information Security Risk analysts make certain (usually stated!) assumptions as to threat sources associated with providing a service. These form part of the process of arriving at a consensus as to how best to mitigate the risks present in the deployed technology, and its operation (ideally to the satisfaction of all stakeholders). This presentation introduces a seldom recognised form of service provision and illustrates that the threat characteristics are significantly different, requiring correspondingly different mitigations.
