Dark cloud or a cloud with a silver-lining?

Source:-deccanchronicle.com I awakened this morning to cloudy north-east monsoon skies and intermittent drizzle. My daughter was flying down from Mumbai after nearly three months. I knew the aircraft she was in would graze the dense clouds and pierce through them before touching down in the next 20 minutes. As I looked up at the sky, with anticipation and excitement of seeing her, I eavesdropped on a thought which proposed that Cloud computing might be a good idea to contemplate on

An unpatched security issue in the Kubernetes API is vulnerable to a “billion laughs” attack

Source:- hub.packtpub.com Last week, a potentially serious and unpatched security issue was revealed in the Kubernetes API server GitHub repository by StackRox. The security lapse was due to the parsing of a  Kubernetes API server deployment called YAML (Yet Another Markup Language) which is used for specifying configuration-type information. This security issue makes the cluster’s Kubernetes API service vulnerable to an attack called “billion laughs”. The billion laughs attack is a type of denial-of-service (DoS) attack. The vulnerability has got a CVE-2019-11253, however, the details

Is your AWS application built for reliability?

Source:-itproportal.com Here’s your handy guide for better understanding AWS’ best practices for application reliability. It’s a misconception that the most reliable systems can somehow sidestep all disruptions, misconfigurations, and network issues. In reality, those hiccups will happen – but reliable systems are those architected to be self-healing, resilient, and able to quickly recover from failures. While building such systems is challenging, the AWS Well-Architected Framework’s Reliability Pillar offers particularly valuable best practices and guidelines for creating architectures with strong foundations,

5 Ways to Streamline Kubernetes Alerting

Source:-it.toolbox.com The vast majority – more than 80 percent – of companies using containers now also use container orchestration software, and 32.5 percent of those companies are using Kubernetes (K8s). The growing adoption of K8s is only hindered by the fact that not everyone knows how to use it. A recent survey found that around 50 percent of users believe that they’re not skilled enough to use K8s – and that the platform is too complex for them to grasp. In order to finish

Linux Foundation exec believes edge computing will be more important than cloud computing

Source:-zdnet.comAccording to Arpit Joshipura, The Linux Foundation’s general manager of networking, edge computing will overtake cloud computing by 2025. Once upon a time, back when we all had mainframes and then servers in our offices, we had edge computing. Our compute power was literally down the hall. Then, along came the cloud, and all that changed. Computers were hundreds of miles but milliseconds away. Now, with the rise of IoT, 5G, and our never-satisfied need for speed, edge computing is coming

How to improve DevOps value with containers and microservices

Source:- techradar.com DevOps is not simply a set of tools or systems, but rather a methodology requiring stakeholder buy-in for successful execution. DevOps is based on collaboration—using operations, best practices, and organizational culture to streamline and connect development teams and IT operations. The better the system design, the better the DevOps implementation. Deriving the best value from DevOps requires agility many legacy systems can’t deliver. To maximize efficiency, DevOps must operate on a flexible system, such as one running microservices and containers
