MongoDB points Compass at GitHub under SSPL

Source:-devclass.comMongoDB’s CTO kicked off its London developer shindig by announcing it has open sourced its Compass GUI software to GitHub under its controversial Server Side Public License. Compass is a GUI to allow its users to “explore and manipulate” data, and has been around since MongoDB 3.2. However, the company is looking to position itself as a data platform, not just as a database company, with more analytics out of the box – amongst other things. So, presumably open sourcing

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

What is Kubernetes? Definition

Source:-sdxcentral.com Kubernetes is an open-source platform for container management and orchestration. Containers are self-contained software packages that allow programmers to package part or all of an application into a single object. Containers make it easier to employ continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI)/CD) and move applications between environments. Kubernetes helps engineers and administrators monitor, manage, and orchestrate these discrete packages within the larger environment. With Kubernetes, responding to failures, managing application configurations, and updating applications can all be automated. Originally built by engineers

Open source for hybrid cloud success: Is it an open and shut case?

Source – computerweekly.com The FOSS acronym – standing for free, open source software – has been a clarion call for many since the open source movement started, despite being nominally based on a misinterpretation of what open source is all about. A group of people got together in 1998 to examine the “free software” market, out of concern that the concept was being hijacked and perverted in political and moral terms, prompting a push to create a more commercially oriented definition

3 steps to secure, open source DevOps

Source – opensource.com Nobody really writes their own code anymore, right? We go out to GitHub, download some libraries, avoid recreating unnecessary wheels, and package those wheels together along with our own glue to create new software. Then we download a half dozen front-end frameworks to make it all pretty and responsive and we’re off the races. In my review of apps, both in my company and others, I’ve found that more than 90% of the code that makes up an

5 open source frameworks for serverless computing

Source – infoworld.com Sometimes all you need is a single function. That’s the idea behind serverless computing, where individual functions spin up on demand, perform a minimal piece of work (serve as an API endpoint, return static content, and so on), and shut down. It’s cheap, it uses minimal resources, and it has little management overhead. Most of what we currently identify as serverless computing kicked off with AWS Lambda, later joined by similar services on Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform,
