Diógenes Rettori has a comparison of Istio and Linkerd as solutions for service mesh. Keybase discusses some challenges with encrypted chat applications and how their architecture avoids some of those challenges. Personally, I could’ve done without the little product advertisement at the end, but that’s just me.

Not using computing aided design (CAD) as a primary architectural tool today is just laughable. Traditional IT solutions are often architected from the viewpoint of horizontal specialists, separately focusing on compute infrastructure, storage infrastructure, datacenters and networks. Of course you wouldn’t.

An apples to apples comparison of the costs associated with running various usage patterns on-premises and with AWS requires more than a simple comparison of hardware expense versus always-on utility pricing for compute and storage. Total Cost of Ownership and the Return on Agility. By Werner Vogels on 16 August 2012 10:00 AM.

It’s a bit disappointing to see that the Surface is still using the older Ryzen chips, since much of the new generation is based on a new architecture (Zen 3, to the 4000 series’s Zen 2) that has delivered performance gains. In addition to that processor, the 15-inch Surface Laptop 4 I reviewed comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

At the recent OCP Summit, Microsoft introduced Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC). Personally, I think it’s an apples-to-oranges comparison, since Kubernetes is more than just a scheduler (think about replication controllers and services and such), but to each his own. VMware recently GA’d version 6.2 Career/Soft Skills.

Each has a differing technology approach to blade repurposing, and each differs in the type (and source) of management control software. The UCS Manager software bundled with the system provides core functionality (see diagram, right). As sophisticated as it is, in contrast to HP, this software is essentially "1.0"

I highly recommend you read the entire post, but in short the five skills Matt recommends are software skills (which includes configuration management and software development tools like Git ), Linux, deep protocol knowledge, hypervisor and container networking, and IPv6. What does this mean? Virtualization.

DCAP systems are designed to automatically identify and solve problems related to the storage and use of data. All this leads to insufficient protection of file storage and, as a result, to security incidents. DCAP systems that have software agents on all protected hosts have several advantages.
