Earlier this month in Manila, the Philippines Government Department of ICT (DICT) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Internet Society (ISOC) to facilitate the development of its National ICT Ecosystem Framework (NIEF) 2022.
The NIEF 2022 – a successor to the Philippine Digital Strategy initiative from 2011-2016 – will serve as a roadmap for the management and development of national Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the country’s plans, programmes, and projects. NIEF will also serve to promote innovation and development of the ICT sector, encourage collaborative use of ICTs, and promote accessibility, security and sustainability.
Some 67 million people are connected to the Internet in the Philippines today – and a large number are prolific users. The country is a significant market for a number of multinational social media and content providers and has a strong Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry. These facts make ICTs a key area of development and critical for the future of the economy.
The multistakeholder model will help facilitate perspectives from a range of stakeholders, which in turn will help NIEF 2022 to be in tune with what would work best for the people of the Philippines. This collaborative approach encourages inclusivity Continue reading
BlueData Throws Kubernetes at Stateful Storage Challenges
Although there are other Kubernetes projects about stateful storage they lack the enterprise-level capabilities to support more robust application sets, says BlueData.
New to the INE Course Library – Building Modern Clouds: Docker, DevOps & Kubernetes
This course covers the basics of Docker and Kubernetes by showing how to build modern clouds with these technologies. By the end of this course students will be able to launch a Kubernetes cluster and deploy self-healing and scalable applications, as well as create their own continuous integration, and continuous delivery pipeline.
Why You Should Watch:
Kubernetes has quickly become the standard platform for running containerized workloads. All the major public clouds now have a Kubernetes-as-a-Service offering and popular container management tools, like Rancher, have migrated their underlying platform from in-house software, like Cattle, to Kubernetes. Even Docker themselves are now natively supporting Kubernetes.
This course is meant to teach you how to get started building modern clouds with Kubernetes and Docker, while covering the basic concepts of DevOps.
Who Should Watch:
This course is intended for anyone wanting to learn about Kubernetes and Docker. A basic familiarity with the Linux command line and the basic high-level concepts of the public cloud are recommended. The recommended public cloud platform for this course is Google Cloud Platform.

ISP Design – Building production MPLS networks with IP Infusion’s OcNOS.
Moving away from incumbent network vendors
One of the challenges service providers have faced in the last decade is lowering the cost per port or per MB while maintaining the same level of availability and service level.
And then add to that the constant pressure from subscribers to increase capacity and meet the rising demand for realtime content.
This can be an especially daunting task when routers with the feature sets ISPs need cost an absolute fortune – especially as new port speeds are released.
Whitebox, also called disaggregated networking, has started changing the rules of the game. ISPs are working to figure out how to integrate and move to production on disaggregated models to lower the cost of investing in higher speeds and feeds.
Whitebox often faces the perception problem of being more difficult to implement than traditional vendors – which is exactly why I wanted to highlight some of the work we’ve been doing at iparchitechs.com integrating whitebox into production ISP networks using IP Infusion’s OcNOS.
Things are really starting to heat up in the disaggregagted network space after the announcement by Amazon a few days ago that it intends to build and sell whitebox Continue reading

Corelight and Databricks Combine Forces for Threat Detection, Remediation, and Analytics
Both Corelight and Databricks are based on open source technologies — Corelight on Bro and Databricks on Apache Spark. While the open source technologies have been combined, this is the first time the companies' commercial versions of software will integrate.
Thoughts on Impostor Syndrome
How many times, on reading my blog, a book, or watching some video of mine over these many years (the first article I remember writing that was publicly available, many years ago, was the EIGRP white paper on Cisco Online, somewhere in 1997), have you thought—here is an engineer who has it all together, who knows technology in depth and breadth, and who symbolizes everything I think an engineer should be? And yet, how many times have you faced that feeling of self-doubt we call impostor synddome?
I am going to let you in on a little secret. I’m an impostor, too. After all these years, I still feel like I am going to be speaking in front of a crowd, explaining something at a meeting, I am going to hit publish on something, and the entire world is going to “see through the charade,” and realize I’m not all that good of an engineer. That I am an ordinary person, just doing ordinary things.
While I often think about these things, what has led me down the path of thinking about them this week is some reading I’ve been doing for a PhD seminar about human nature, work Continue reading
