PaaS can help with microservice architectures, because PaaS often provides things like service discovery and other “glue” necessary to stitch all the various pieces together. PaaS increases efficiency. Now the discussion shifts to Docker containers. That lead to “automagically configured” web services (PaaS).

Gabriele Gerbino has a nice write-up about Cisco’s efforts with APIs ; his article includes a brief description of YANG data models and a comparison of working with network devices via SSH or via API. It’s short and light on details, but it does provide an example snippet of Python code to illustrate what can be done with Netmiko.

Naim next goes through some pricing comparisons showing how EFS is much cheaper than DIY storage solutions using EC2 instances and EBS volumes. A new feature announced last week is EFS File Sync, which is designed to get data from on-premises file systems into EFS, and is designed to operate up to 5x faster than traditional Linux copy tool.

That’s in comparison to the very controversial 30 percent that Apple charges. POSIX, which is a set of operating system standards.

I might have mentioned this before, but Ken Pepple’s OpenStack Folsom architecture post is just awesome. has posted a good hypervisor feature comparison document. in the comparison, even though RHEV 3.1 wasn’t released (was still in beta) at the time the comparison was written.

He makes comparisons among server virtualization, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and SDN, and feels that in order for SDN to really hit this market it needs to be “not a user-facing feature, but rather a means to an end” (his words). Can UCS hold on in the face of a fundamental shift like that? I don’t know.

Kubernetes seems focused on addressing the needs of container-based microservices-centric application architectures. One could make some OpenStack comparisons here (I have a separate post brewing on the future of OpenStack), but I’m not sure such a comparison would be valid.

In this respect, you could make a comparison between Consul and etcd, the distributed key/value store bundled with CoreOS Linux. Installing Consul is pretty easy, actually: Download the Consul software (binaries are provided for 32-bit Linux, 64-bit Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows). Finally, Consul is a key/value store.

We’re talking about the entire architecture of games moving to streaming. It’s got an ARM processor, and it runs Linux and we’re off to the races. Do you think that’s a fair comparison? Let me make the Netflix comparison just to have done it, just to check the box. I do, yeah. That’s quite a rise.
