Event Description

Introduction To Platform as a Service
 
Java based Platform as a Service (PaaS) can transform your development, governance, and service level management activities.  PaaS can serve as a solid foundation for running IT as a business, increasing agility, optimizing budgets, and reducing time to market.  IT professionals require a clear adoption roadmap and evaluation framework, which maximizes Cloud characteristics, adds architecture components, enhances infrastructure capabilities, and improves IT practices. 
 
Chris Haddad will explain cloud characteristics, cloud architecture, and Platform as a Service (PaaS) capabilities.  He will describe:
How to evaluate Java Platform as a Service offerings
How to establish a roadmap guiding PaaS projects
How to quickly deliver a proof of concept demonstrating Platform as a Service benefits

Cloudflare’s Post-Quantum GeoKey Manager Enters Closed Beta Without Attribute-Based Encryption

Cloudflare has moved a post-quantum rebuild of GeoKey Manager into closed beta, guarding geo-fenced keys with hybrid ML-KEM-768 and X25519 instead of the attribute-based encryption used since 2022. Keys live only in kernel memory on verified regional servers, and any failed check rejects the request, a fail-closed choice practitioners ask could cause a regional outage. GA is planned for Q1 2027.

LocalStack for Azure Enters Public Preview with Security Settings Stored but Not Enforced

LocalStack has opened its Azure emulator to a free public preview, running Azure services locally and accepting existing ARM, Bicep, and Terraform without rewrites. Its own documentation reports partial operation coverage per service and a consistent pattern: configuration is stored and returned, while enforcement of access restrictions, TLS, and network rules is not implemented.
