Docker Meets Kubernetes
Kubernetes, Docker and containers are changing the world, and how companies
are deploying their software and running their infrastructure. With the shift
in how applications are built and deployed, new challenges must be solved.
In his session at @DevOpsSummit at19th Cloud Expo, Sebastian Scheele,
co-founder of Loodse, will discuss the implications of containerized
applications/infrastructures and their impact on the enterprise. In a real
world example based on Kubernetes, he will show how to migrate an existing
application to Docker and Kubernetes, and what the benefits are.

According to Larry Rosen, "One of the challenges to writing about licensing
in a book not specifically written for licensing professionals is to make a
very dull subject interesting." A Complete and Thorough BookRosen has met
that challenge in his exciting guide to the Open Source licensing zoo. As an
extra fillip he offers a set of five Open Source Principles so clear and
brief that the Open Source Initiative (OSI) would be well advised to adopt
them, plus two new licenses intended to solve not only the weaknesses of some
of the current Open Source licenses, but resolve the many problems that
revolve around the Free Software Foundation's (FSF) GNU General Public
License (GPL) and Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
This clear book spends 314 pages in detailed discussion of more legal issues
than this review can touch on. The author has the advantage of having trai... (more)
The continuously bedeviled SGI, now staking a lot of its future on pushing
Linux into the hysterically high end, said Thursday that it was going to can
10% of its staff, roughly 400 jobs, to lower costs and shift its focus to
specific growth areas to bring expenses in line with revenues.
It said the terminations are intended "to preserve customer-facing
activities, protect customer investments and accelerate a return to
profitability." Ironically Fortune magazine recently pegged SGI as one of the
"Top 100 companies to work for."
The reductions, coupled with an improvement in gross margin, are supposed to
cut quarterly expenses by $10 million starting in calendar Q3 and will reduce
the company's breakeven point. SGI will take a restructuring charge of $15
million-$20 million in the June quarter.
In a canned statement SGI CEO Bob Bishop was quoted as saying, "Despite ... (more)
"We have completely withdrawn our products from these markets and put notices
on every page of our website," protests Lindows CEO Michael Robertson in a
news release put out by Lindows, Inc. yesterday, "yet Microsoft is still
asking that the Judge fine us 100,000 euros per day because non-U.S. visitors
can view our U.S.-based website."
"Microsoft's actions," Robertson continues, "demonstrate this has nothing to
do with protecting their Dutch trademark or confusion in the marketplace, but
is simply an attempt to put us out of business."
He is referring to papers just filed against Lindows Inc. in the Netherlands
by Microsoft Corporation asking the court to fine Lindows 100,000 euros per
day for permitting its Web site to be reachable by visitors from the Benelux
countries (Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg).
"Since visitors to our website come from international ISPs... (more)
A wise man once quipped that "Prediction is very difficult, especially if
it's about the future." Matt Hartley, a contributing writer to OSWeekly.com,
discovered the truth of this first-hand - and painfully - this week when an
item that he'd written got picked up (and its content mauled) by Slashdot.
Hartley's crime was to have written a futuristic sketch that he titled "A New
Kind of OS." In it, he mused aloud about what he described as "the obvious
advantages to an operating system that actually morphed and adapted to the
needs of the users instead of the other way around." His big idea, in
summary, that one's computer might in the future be more like a "probability
engine" - operating 24x7 in "adaptive mode" and learning, from the ways we'd
used our PC or our Mac in the past, how we'd probably prefer it to behave in
the future:
Consider the obvious advantages to a... (more)
ITHACA, New York, August 20 /PRNewswire/ -- MCCI Corporation on tyytyväinen
USB Implementers Forumin päätöksestä hyväksyä Network Control Model
