Rainier” will allow customers to combine PCIe-based SSD storage inside servers into a “virtual SAN” (now there’s an original and not over-used term). QEMU, on the other hand, is needed to emulate everything else that a VM needs: networking, storage, USB, keyboard, mouse, etc. Cloud Computing/Cloud Management.

Anthony Shaw has a good comparison of Ansible, StackStorm, and Salt (with a particular view at applicability in a networking context). These viewpoints—that security via micro-segmentation is a compelling use case for NSX—is one I’ve seen repeated in numerous environments. Check out the GitHub repository.

This is a fascinating (to me, at least) paper on the implications of non-volatile storage on today’s data centers (and data center hardware). VMware open-sourced an identity and access management service called Lightwave ( project web site , GitHub repo ). A moderate security bug in OpenSSH (all releases between 5.4

Here is a comparison table of static vs dynamic code analysis: Static code analysis Dynamic code analysis Focuses on examining the code itself to identify potential issues related to logic and techniques. Analyzes the code without executing it, typically through automated tools or manual code review.
