Docker Donates the cnab-to-oci Library to cnab.io

Docker is proud and happy to announce the donation of our cnab-to-oci library to the CNAB project ?. This project was created last year after Microsoft and Docker moved the CNAB specification to the Linux Foundation’s Joint Development Foundation. At that time, the CNAB specification repository was moved from the deislab GitHub organization to the new cnabio organization. The reference implementations – cnab-go which is the Golang library implementation of the specification and duffle which is the CLI reference implementation – were also moved.

What is cnab-to-oci for?

Docker helped with the development of the CNAB specification and its reference implementations, and led the work on the cnab-to-oci library for sharing a CNAB bundle using an existing container registry. This library is now used by 3 CNAB tools, Docker App, Porter and duffle, as well as Docker Hub. It successfully demonstrated how to push, pull and share a CNAB bundle using a registry. This work will be used as a foundation for the future CNAB Registries specification.

The transfer is already in effect, so starting now please refer to github.com/cnabio/cnab-to-oci in your Golang imports.

How does cnab-to-oci store a CNAB bundle into a registry?

Cisco Previews Managed HyperFlex Application Platform for Kubernetes

AppDynamics Customer Journey Map, HyperFlex Application Platform for Kubernetes, and it has said that all three are expected to be generally available sometime within the next few months. The first two products are meant to provide insight into and optimization of application performance, and even target business metrics such as cost. The HyperFlex Application Platform for Kubernetes, meanwhile, is Cisco’s new managed Kubernetes product, which will not only provide a “turnkey” Kubernetes platform, but also a number of other managed services, including container networking, container storage, ingress and L7 load balancer, logging, monitoring, a container registry, and service mesh.

Do We Need Complex Data Center Switches for VMware NSX Underlay

Got this question from one of ipSpace.net subscribers:

Do we really need those intelligent datacenter switches for underlay now that we have NSX in our datacenter? Now that we have taken a lot of the intelligence out of our underlying network, what must the underlying network really provide?

Reading the marketing white papers the answer would be IP connectivity… but keep in mind that building your infrastructure based on information from vendor white papers usually gives you the results your gullibility deserves.

Let’s Encrypt: an automated certificate authority to encrypt the entire web

Let’s encrypt: an automated certificate authority to encrypt the entire web, Aas et al., CCS’19

This paper tells the story of Let’s Encrypt, from it’s early beginnings in 2012/13 all the way to becoming the world’s largest HTTPS Certificate Authority (CA) today – accounting for more currently valid certificates than all other browser-trusted CAs combined. Beyond the functionality that Let’s Encrypt provides, the story stands out to me for two key ingredients. Firstly, whereas normally we trade-off between security and ease-of-use, Let’s Encrypt made the web more secure through ease-of-use. Secondly, Let’s Encrypt managed to find a sustainable funding model for a combination of an open source project and free online service, as compared to the more normal pattern which sadly seems to involve running a small number of beneficent maintainers into the ground.

Since it’s launch in December 2015, Let’s Encrypt has steadily grown to become the largest CA in the Web PKI by certificates issued and the fourth largest known CA by Firefox Beta TLS full handshakes. As of January 21, 2019, the CA had issued a total of 538M certificates for 223M unique FQDNs… Let’s Encrypt has been responsible for significant growth in HTTPS deployment.

The NFL knows a lot about deploying high-capacity WiFi networks

Everyone watching Super Bowl 2020 witnessed the excitement that filled Hard Rock Stadium, as the Kansas City Chiefs became this year’s champions. (I was cheering hard for the 49ers but want to offer hearty congratulations to the new champs.) What wasn’t visible to the public—yet was omnipresent throughout the venue—was Wi-Fi connectivity that gave fans an enhanced experience during the game.Whether it’s in a hospital, an office building, a university auditorium or a stadium, Wi-Fi scale matters. In hospitals, gameday is every day, and healthcare wireless networks play a vital role. Stadiums don’t always have gameday, but when they do, the WiFi has to work without a glitch.To read this article in full, please click here
