Chris Evans revisits the discussion regarding Arm processor architectures in the public cloud. And, speaking of Arm processor architectures in the public cloud, here’s another look at Amazon’s Graviton2 and Graviton3 chips, as discussed in a pair of re:Invent talks. BIOS updates without a reboot , and under Linux first?

As a side note, I am curious to know what other CPU architectures, if any, are affected. Will something like this spark a (larger) migration to ARM-based architectures? In the end, he comes up with using a general purpose programming language (via CDK in his article) to write higher-level constructs. Here we go again.

This includes cgroups (the ability to control resource allocation/utilization), which is built into the Linux kernel. LXC is a set of user-space tools that attempted to make using these constructs easier, but it hasn’t (until recently) been easy to really leverage these constructs. easier to use. Docker Making Its Move.

Alex Gurbych discusses a microservices architecture, including adapting the concepts to actual services and offerings from AWS. Via TecMint, James Kiarie explains how to use VirtualBox VMs on KVM in Linux. As always, I welcome all constructive feedback and I love hearing from readers, so feel free to reach out to me on Twitter.

The argument is that today with the expansion of n-tier distributed systems and massively parallel architectures, east-west traffic has increased exponentially. It uses a new construct they call End Point Groups (EPG). Cisco EPGs can be a physical server, a virtual machine, a Linux container, or even a mainframe. Final Thoughts.

A Quick Introduction to Docker

Docker leverages LXC (Linux Containers), which encompasses Linux features like cgroups and namespaces for strong process isolation and resource control. While Docker currently leverages LXC, the Docker architecture isn’t necessarily limited to LXC. LTS as the Linux platform. linux-headers-generic-lts-raring.

This is an awesome overview of the OpenStack Folsom architecture , courtesy of Ken Pepple. Only a true geek would be interested in this, but here’s some information on running OpenBSD in KVM on Linux. This is also why I’ve been spending time with Open vSwitch, which is a critical construct in Quantum.).
