Every technologist knows of Ray Kurzweil. He is like a modern day Galileo-
playing a major thought leadership role in the technology revolution (Ray’s
wikipedia entry does a pretty good job summarizing his background).
Google recently announced that Kurzweil will be joining them as a director of
engineering. Details were provided on Kurzweil’s blog. Here is the story:
Ray Kurzweil confirmed today that he will be joining Google to work on new
projects involving machine learning and language processing.
“I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining Google as Director of
Engineering this Monday, December 17,” said Kurzweil.
“I’ve been interested in technology, and machine learning in particular,

Wow, what a month. Two big stories to note: USCC is seeking to grow over 5x
to 4900 people, and the NYTimes (and WSJ it seems) have been hacked,
purportedly by the Chinese over their China coverage. In other news, a new
discovery of the ‘Red October’ campaign filled the headlines, although by
now these sorts of things feel standard issue. On a related note, DARPA is
getting ready to issue a BAA for their CAT program, using big data to tackle
targeted attacks.
An upcoming event to note in the DC area: Suits and Spooks, next week
(February 8 and 9).

DXWorldEXPO Digital Transformation Stories By Pat Romanski  Serveless Architectures brings the ability to independently scale, deploy and heal based on workloads and move away from monolithic designs. From the front-end, middle-ware and back-end layers, serverless workloads potentially have a larger security risk surface due to the many moving pieces. This talk will focus on key areas to consider for securing end to end, from dev to prod. We will discuss patterns for end to end TLS, session management, scaling to absorb attacks and mitigation techniques. Sep. 9, 2018 08:45 AM EDT Reads: 1,525 | By Pat Romanski  The standardization of container runtimes and images has sparked the creation of an almost overwhelming number of new open source projects that build on and otherwise work with these specifications. Of course, there's Kubernetes, which orchestrates and manages collections of containers. It was one of the first and best-known examples of projects that make containers truly useful for production use. However, more recently, the container ecosystem has truly exploded. A service mesh like Istio addr...

IDC's FutureScape for IoT report found that by 2019, 40% of IoT data will be stored, processed, analyzed and acted upon at the edge of the network where it is created. Why at the edge? Turns out that sensor data, in most cases, is perishable. Its value is realized within a narrow window after its creation. Further, analytics at the edge provides o... Sep. 2, 2018 04:00 PM EDT |

92% of enterprises are using the public cloud today. As a result, simply being in the cloud is no longer enough to remain competitive. The benefit of reduced costs has normalized while the market forces are demanding more innovation at faster release cycles. Enter Cloud Native! Cloud Native enables a microservices driven architecture. The shift from monolithic to microservices yields a lot of benefits - but if not done right - can quickly outweigh the benefits. The effort required in monitoring, tracing, circuit breakers, routing, load balancing, etc. for thousands of microservices can become overwhelming. This talk will address strategies to run & manage microservices from 0 to 60 using Istio and other tools in a cloud native world.
It's clear: serverless is here to stay. The adoption does come with some needed changes, within both application development and operations. That means serverless is also changing the way we leverage public clouds. Truth-be-told, many enterprise IT shops were so happy to get out of the management of physical servers within a data center that many limitations of the existing public IaaS clouds were forgiven. However, now that we've lived a few years with public IaaS clouds, developers and CloudOps pros are giving a huge thumbs down to the constant monitoring of servers, provisioned or not, that's required to support the workloads.
