Announcing the Cloudflare Apps Platform and Developer Fund

Announcing the Cloudflare Apps Platform and Developer Fund

When we started Cloudflare we had no idea if anyone would validate our core idea. Our idea was what that everyone should have the ability to be as fast and secure as the Internet giants like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. Six years later, it's incredible how far that core idea has taken us.

Today, Cloudflare runs one of the largest global networks. We have data centers in 115 cities around the world and continue to expand. We've built a core service that delivers performance, security, availability, and insight to more than 6 million users.

Democratizing the Internet

From the beginning, our goal has been to democratize the Internet. Today we're taking another step toward that goal with the launch of the Cloudflare Apps Platform and the Cloudflare Developer Fund. To understand that, you have to understand where we started.

When we started Cloudflare we needed two things: a collection of users for the service, and finances to help us fund our development. In both cases, people were taking a risk on Cloudflare. Our first users came from Project Honey Pot, which Lee Holloway and I created back in 2004. Members Continue reading

Lufthansa Systems taps Portworx for stateful containers

When Docker first (re) popularized the use of container-based infrastructure, there was a bit of discussion around the storage problems related to containers. Two startups came into being to try and resolve the issue: ClusterHQ and Portworx.While ClusterHQ flamed out, Portworx is still going strong and today announced a high-profile and interesting case study.To clarify exactly what Portworx does, users can use it to manage any database or stateful service on any infrastructure using any container scheduler, including Kubernetes, Mesosphere DC/OS and Docker Swarm. Portworx solves the five most common problems DevOps teams encounter when running containerized databases and other stateful services in production: persistence, high availability, data automation, support for multiple data stores and infrastructure, and security. As such, Portworx technology is ideally suited for solution verticals such as databases, messaging queues, continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD), big data, and content management. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

OSPF Basic configuration Step by step on Cisco Routers

Today I am going to talk about the basic configurations of OSPF on Cisco routers step by step. OSPF is one of the link state routing protocol and I already wrote some of the articles on OSPF as below:

OSPF Basics- Theory
OSPF point to Multipoint Configuration- Cisco & Juniper
OSPF States
Difference between OSPF Vs RIP routing Protocols

From the above given links, you will able to understand much more about the OSPF. This article is all about the basic configurations on router about the OSPF.

Below is the basic topology of the OSPF which has not any relevance with the configuration part. The topology is just to show you what kind of network you have in the OSPF separated in the areas but with have one process id.


Fig 1.1- Sample OSPF Topology

There is no relevance of the IP addresses uses here with any of the live networks or with any of the enterprise networks.

Lets talk step by step in OSPF

In Step 1, I am talking about how to enable the OSPF routing protocol on Cisco routers by putting the OSPF process id. Make sure you know about the process id, It is similar Continue reading

How to secure your CMS with out patching

In as little as four hours, the bad guys can reverse engineer a software patch for an open-source content management system (CMS) and build an exploit capable of turning millions of websites into spammers, malware hosts or DDoS attackers. "There's just not enough time for normal site owners to apply the updates," said David Jardin, a member of the German association CMS Garden, which promotes the use of open source CMS software including Drupal, Joomla, WordPress and others.To help ordinary users patch more quickly, CMS Garden is participating in a government-funded project, Secure Websites and Content Management Systems (Siwecos), to make the websites of SMEs more secure. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

BrandPost: What Is Driving Enterprise Interest In Managed SD-WAN Services?

In my previous blog post, I described the trends that are driving continued growth in the SD-WAN market, and the potential it presents to managed service providers. In this blog, I share insights on factors that are influencing enterprise choice of managed SD-WAN services.MANAGED SD-WAN SERVICESManaged SD-WAN services are similar to a number of existing managed services offerings (managed LAN/WAN, managed router, managed firewall, managed VPN, to list a few) that network service providers (NSPs) offer in the market today. With managed SD-WAN services, the service provider installs and manages the edge CPE devices, procures and manages access links from multiple NSPs, and manages all day-to-day network management aspects of the solution.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Qualcomm partners with Packet to offer ARM servers

Qualcomm has its first customer for the 48-core ARM server processor it currently has under development. Packet, a bare-metal cloud provider for developers, said it plans to offer customers access to Qualcomm’s Centriq 2400 later this year.Packet offers a bare-metal cloud platform for developers running Cavium's 48-core ARMv8-A ThunderX processors. A bare-metal solution means it offers no OS or any operating platform. You have to provide all of the software. It’s not a popular option; only IBM’s SoftLayer offers bare-metal in any significant way. But it’s ideal for a developer. They can load their entire development or operating environment onto Packet’s systems and have a realistic development and testing environment that matches their future deployment platform. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
