It should come as no surprise how much emphasis organizations place on security today. Threats are becoming more and more sophisticated and the number of threats grow to uncontrollable rates every day.
One of the biggest downsides is that the rising cost of data breaches in 2019 alone, a global average of $3.92 million as reported by the Ponemon Institute and IBM Security July 2019 report, is enough to cause organizations to rethink or increase emphasis on their security strategies and how they can help secure their most important assets by improving the cyber hygiene in their organizations.
Cyber hygiene refers to what an organization can do to improve their security postures around physical hardware, software, and applications. If you’ve seen Pat Gelsinger’s keynote from 2017, he goes into the 5 pillars of good cyber hygiene and what organizations can do to improve basic and fundamental security for their business.
Over the last several years, VMware has been focusing on helping organizations move to Software-Defined Data Centers (SDDC) to improve their agility and meet the speed of business. As more organizations adopted the SDDC model, VMware found itself in a unique position Continue reading
I was in London last week for CCDE Training. During the training, there was a discussion on Financial network design and one of the students explained how they designed their financial world-wide network. We recorded the discussion and I think you will get great benefit if you want to understand how financial networks are designed, …

TL&DR: You automate the whole process. What else do you expect?
During the Tech Field Day Extra @ Cisco Live Europe 2019 we were taken on a behind-the-stage tour that included a chat with people who built the Cisco Live network, and of course I had to ask how they automated the whole thing. They said “well, we have the guy that wrote the whole system onsite and he’ll be able to tell you more”. Turns out the guy was my good friend Andrew Yourtchenko who graciously showed the system they built and explained the behind-the-scenes details.

You might have seen selected write-ups from The Morning Paper appearing in ACM Queue. The editorial board there are also kind enough to send me paper recommendations when they come across something that sparks their interest. So this week things are going to get a little bit circular as we’ll be looking at three papers originally highlighted to me by the ACM Queue board!
‘Invisible Mask’ looks at the very topical subject of face authentication systems. We’ve looked at adversarial attacks on machine learning systems before, including those that can be deployed in the wild, such as decorating stop signs. Most adversarial attacks against image recognition systems require you to have pixel-level control over the input image though. Invisible Mask is different, it’s a practical attack in that the techniques described in this paper could be used to subvert face authentication systems deployed in the wild, without there being any obvious visual difference (e.g. specially printed glass frames) in the face of the attacker to a casual observer. That’s the invisible part: to the face recognition system it’s as if you are wearing a mask, Continue reading
We’re continuing our celebration of Women in Tech Week into this week with another profile of one of many of the amazing women who make a tremendous impact at Docker – this week, and every week – helping developers build modern apps.
Product Designer.
11 months.
The designer part, yes. But the software product part, not necessarily. My background is in architecture and industrial design and I imagined I would do physical product design. But I enjoy UX; the speed at which you can iterate is great for design.
To embrace discomfort. I don’t mean that in a bad way. A mentor once told me that the only time your brain is actually growing is when you’re uncomfortable. It has something to do with the dendrites being forced to grow because you’re forced to learn new things.
Hybrid cloud is gaining traction as organizations seek to realize the flexibility and scale of a joint public and on-premises model of IT provisioning while also changing the way their compute and storage infrastructure is funded, transferring costs from a capital expense (capex) to an operating expense (opex). …
Automation And Policy Drive Optimal Hybrid Cloud Spending was written by Timothy Prickett Morgan at The Next Platform.
The establishment of Pu‘uhonua o Waimānalo in 1994 was a significant milestone in the native Hawaiian movement to regain independence from the United States, which overthrew its kingdom in 1893. The United States formally acknowledged its role in the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii in a law adopted by Congress in 1993 known as the Apology Resolution. A quarter of a century later, the Nation of Hawai’i is levelling up with a new effort in the push for sovereignty: community-led Internet access.
The Nation of Hawai’i is excitedly gearing up for the upcoming build and launch of Hawai’i’s first independent community broadband network in our village of Pu`uhonua O Waimanalo on the island of O’ahu.
As an early adopter of the Internet, the Nation of Hawai’i quickly recognized its potential to support sovereignty and self-determination efforts.
In 1995, the Nation of Hawai’i launched hawaii-nation.org as a way to share its history and updates about current initiatives with the world. The website housed extensive primary-source historical documents, including the constitutions and treaties of the Hawaiian Kingdom. It hoped that by providing access to lesser known parts of history, Hawaiians and supporters around the world could learn and make up Continue reading

Kubernetes is a powerful container orchestrator and has been establishing itself as IT architects’ container orchestrator of choice. But Kubernetes’ power comes at a price; jumping into the cockpit of a state-of-the-art jet puts a lot of power under you, but knowing how to actually fly it is not so simple. That complexity can overwhelm a lot of people approaching the system for the first time.
I wrote a blog series recently where I walk you through the basics of architecting an application for Kubernetes, with a tactical focus on the actual Kubernetes objects you’re going to need. The posts go into quite a bit of detail, so I’ve provided an abbreviated version here, with links to the original posts.
With a machine as powerful as Kubernetes, I like to identify the absolute minimum set of things we’ll need to understand in order to be successful; there’ll be time to learn about all the other bells and whistles another day, after we master the core ideas. No matter where your application runs, in Kubernetes or anywhere else, there are four concerns we are going to have to address:
