26 JULY 2018 Hello, cloud developers! We added some new patterns and tutorials this month about object storage on the cloud, AI and serverless tech, and running deep learning frameworks as a service on Kubernetes. I'd also like to introduce myself as the new editor for developerWorks Cloud Computing. My past developerWorks experience is with hybrid cloud and middleware products, including process automation and API management. John Swanson is moving on to focus specifically on blockchain, and I look forward to working with developers who share knowledge and innovation in areas like serverless technology, platform as a service, and options for cloud object storage. How many of us have experienced a natural disaster either where we or our loved ones live? In 2013, my town of Lyons, Colorado, was hit with devastating flooding. Nearly five years have passed since that disaster, but I still think about the various phases of evacuation, displacement, rebuilding, long-term recovery, and ways the town wants to be more resilient for future events -- especially when I see other communities struggle after disasters, whether in Puerto Rico, Texas, Nepal, South Carolina, India, the Gulf Coast, Mexico, Japan, Oklahoma. I'm excited to be working with a team that is encouraging developers to commit to making things better with Call for Code: How 22M Developers Take on Disaster Preparedness - Planning for the Worst, Coding for the Best. What's inspiring about the Call for Code is that all of us have the potential to be users. User experience is crucial to software design and development, and creating a solution gives you the opportunity to design it how you would like you, your family, and your broader community to use it.

Store, manage, and access your data through a self-service portal and RESTful APIs. Connect applications directly to object storage and integrate IBM Cloud services. Train a convolutional neural network model on a fashion dataset Get a code pattern for using Tensorflow and the Fabric for Deep Learning platform to train and deploy a model that uses Fashion MNIST (a Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology dataset of 70,000 28x28 labeled fashion images) on Kubernetes. The web app is designed to take uploaded images, display them on the web page, and show the names of the classes with the top three confidences. There is an accompanying word cloud, where the size of the word is correlated to the frequency of the class being the top choice for a picture. Integrate adversarial attacks into a neural network model training pipeline This code pattern uses a Jupyter Notebook with Python and Bash shell magic to launch training jobs on Fabric for Deep Learning- and the Adversarial Robustness Toolbox to detect neural network model vulnerabilities. Fabric for Deep Learning provides a consistent way to run deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Caffe, and Keras as a service on Kubernetes, hiding a lot of the complexities of setting up distributed deep learning training environments.
