Kickstarting Your Azure Pipeline with Templates Wouter Ligtenberg, a GEWIS alumnus, will talk on behalf of ING! Azure pipeline templates are a powerful way of scaling your CI/CD pipelines throughout your organization. When combining it with software engineering practices it becomes a powerful tool in speeding up the build and release work done by DevOps teams. Templates facilitate the creation of scalable, parameterized pipelines that can be unit tested and ensure pipeline immutability while remaining a consistent and transparent single source of truth. The ING DevOps engineering team has created a way to build and deploy JVM applications in the cloud to be consumed by multiple teams from the entire tribe and more by using templates developed in Azure DevOps with the goal to automate a pipeline end to end, from code to runtime. To achieve this, they wrote code to automate everything and also created a system to manage these pipelines. Some other objectives they set for themselves were: maintenance of the pipeline must be low the pipeline must have a versioning in place as to not break consumers pipelines when we update it it must be flexible, for different languages and applications any of their colleagues should be able to contribute, using an open source model In this talk, you'll learn: How Azure pipeline templates can scale your CI/CD pipelines organization-wide How Azure pipeline templates can help speed up your DevOps team's build and release cycle How ING are utilizing and managing their DevOps pipelines You can join the Teams meeting through this link.

Project TITAN - An In-Memory High Performance Calculation Engine Anago is a Dutch software company founded in 1999 and is specialised in smart planning solutions. We have developed our own no-code development environment for modelling planning applications. We work for large organisations such as AirFrance KLM, Heineken, UWV, IND and the Ministry of Social Affairs. Examples of planning systems are the long-term planning of a customer contact centre, the scheduling of engine services at KLM and the planning of the asylum seekers chain. Anago Planning applications are modelled using high level building blocks such as data cubes, calculation engines, integrations and views. The result of the application model is a fully working cloud solution. Typically, the planning calculations involve mathematics such as aggregation and allocation, statistical forecasting, various optimisation algorithms and a free model language. Currently, Anago is relying on a multi-dimensional database system that is becoming a bottleneck. We want to replace this technology by developing a new In-Memory High Performance Calculation Engine. The new calculation should support the following: Automatic Parallel (multithreaded) calculations Sparse data handling Efficient Matrix calculations Lazy (on the fly) calculations Language parsing and compiling We are researching the best ways of handling these challenges. During the lunch lecture we want to introduce you to our world of developing a modelling environment such as Anago and the concepts behind our In-Memory calculation engine. You will learn how a low-code or no-code platform is set up and can be used to create state-of-the-art cloud solutions. The lecture will be given by Fraser Wilson, Software Architect at Anago and Thomas de Nooij, Founder of Anago. Note that we can not guarantee at this moment that we can host this lecture on campus. For the on campus lecture that are only 30 spots available, for which a draw will be held. If you would like to attend on campus, please subscribe Thursday before the lecture takes place.

To register for the first year excursion, you can go to the Colloquium Canvas page and click on People, then go to Groups. Here you can set your first and second preference for an excursion. Make sure you register your preference before March 15th. Double bachelor students only have to register once in one colloquium page. In the week after the 15th of March you will receive an email stating which program(s) you may attend and the exact details for transportation or the invites for the Microsoft Teams Meetings. Online morning program IBM You might know IBM as the company who brought the very first computer to the market, and even in 2021 IBM is leading in the hardware and software department. During their morning program, you will get to know IBM in an interactive way with a Kahoot, a virtual tour through their office in Amsterdam and a small business case! This program is accessible for both Computer Science and Mathematics studenten. Shell During the Shell morning program, they will talk about all different Mathematics and Computer Science applications at the Pernis refinery (close to Rotterdam) and there will be an online tour through the refinery.
