Via the Kubernetes blog , Box announced it has open sourced a project called kube-iptables-tailer , which turns packet drops from iptables into Kubernetes events that can be logged for easier troubleshooting. AnandTech has some coverage of the latest Intel processor announcements , which totally flew by my radar. Networking.

Intel has a tutorial series on Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX). I noted that a Vagrant provider for vRealize Automation was recently released as an open source project. Operating Systems/Applications. I’m pretty clear about Kolla, Kuryr, and Magnum, but I’m not so clear about OpenStack Zun.

Open source has become so critical to so many aspects of our computing infrastructure. I recently stumbled across Ricardo Sueiras’ “AWS open source news and updates” posts. Adrian’s operational review readiness template is another great post as well. Operating Systems/Applications.

Carlos Cardenas has a great post that does a great job of explaining SAI (Switch Abstraction Interface) and switchdev , two key abstraction layers involved in building Linux-based network operating systems (NOSes). Kevin Houston has a write-up on the recent Intel “Broadwell” announcement that provides details on the latest CPU family.

This is a liveblog for the day 1 keynote at Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2014. Among the accomplishments Krzanich lists, he mentions that Intel was the #2 shipper of tablets last year. At this point Krzanich hands it off to Diane Bryant, SVP and GM of the Data Center Group at Intel. One would assume that Apple is #1.)

I’m back home in Denver after spending a few days in San Francisco at Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2013, so I thought I’d take a few minutes to sit down and share a summary of the event and my thoughts. Enhancing OpenStack with Intel Technologies for Public, Private, and Hybrid Cloud: [link].

Intel has finally started shipping silicon photonics gear, according to this report from El Reg (news coming out of IDF16). I predicted a couple of years ago that Intel SGX (Software Guard Extensions) was going to be HUGE (see here ). Pradipta Kumar Banerjee has an article on using local storage for instances in OpenStack.

News in the OpenStack space hasn’t been so good recently (Intel pulling out of OSIC, various companies laying off folks, other “pure play” companies shifting focus away from OpenStack), but here’s one architect’s perspective on what you may still want to attend the OpenStack Summit. Operating Systems/Applications.

QEMU, on the other hand, is needed to emulate everything else that a VM needs: networking, storage, USB, keyboard, mouse, etc. Apparently, “Mt.

Woods: If you think about the overall system, within which some of these devices live. There has to be storage somewhere so even sensors, end up sending their data someplace that has to be stored, and that might be in the cloud, for instance, which is increasingly a part of the Internet of Things. It's still a threat.
