By next year, five Internet of Things (IoT) devices are projected to be in use for every person on the planet.
IoT devices offer endless opportunities to improve productivity, economic growth, and quality of life. Think smart cities, self-driving cars, and the ways connected medical devices can monitor our health. The potential growth of IoT is virtually infinite.
But with opportunity comes a significant amount of risk. As much as we’d like to trust manufacturers to make sure burglars can’t watch our homes through data from an automated vacuum, many new devices lack even basic security features. And thousands of new devices are coming online each year without commitment to basic measures such as using unique passwords, encrypting our data, or updating software to address vulnerabilities.
To help people and businesses around the world prepare, a dedicated group is rising to the challenge of securing the Internet of Things though cooperation across borders and sectors.
They are government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and other organizations and experts working on IoT security joined together to form the IoT Security Policy Platform. We are proud to say the Internet Society is amongst them too. Together we’ve been discussing and sharing best practices and Continue reading
This week's IPv6 Buzz discusses getting IPv6 into enterprise wireless environments. We discuss what proper vendor support for v6 looks like, evaluate the impact of a lack of DHCPv6 support in Android, why running dual stack is more work than a clean cutover, and more. Our guest is Joe Neville, a technical consultant at HPE Aruba.
The post IPv6 Buzz 039: Bringing IPv6 Into Enterprise Wireless appeared first on Packet Pushers.
In the past, Ansible content such as roles, modules and plugins was usually consumed in two ways: the modules were part of the Ansible package, and roles could be found in Galaxy. However, as time went on the current method of content distribution had challenges with scale for both contributors and consumers of Ansible content. Dylan described this in a blog post worth reading.
Recent releases of Ansible started a journey towards better content management. In previous Ansible releases, each and every module was strictly tied to the release schedule of Ansible and community, customer, and partner feedback demonstrated that the release schedule of content needed to evolve. Ansible content collections allow our Ansible contributors to create specialized content without being tied to a specific release cycle of the Ansible product, making it easier to plan and deliver. For Ansible newcomers, the collections come “pre-packaged” with modules and playbooks around common use cases like networking and security, making it easier to get off the ground with Ansible.

With the release of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Ansible Content Collections are now fully supported. Ansible Content Collections, or collections, represent the new standard of distributing, maintaining and consuming automation. By combining multiple types of Ansible content (playbooks, roles, modules, and plugins), flexibility and scalability are greatly improved.
Everyone!
Traditionally, module creators have had to wait for their modules to be marked for inclusion in an upcoming Ansible release or had to add them to roles, which made consumption and management more difficult. By shipping modules within Ansible Content Collections along with pertinent roles and documentation, and removing the barrier to entry, creators are now able to move as fast as the demand for their creations. For a public cloud provider, this means new functionality of an existing service or a new service altogether, can be rolled out along with the ability to automate the new functionality.
For the automation consumer, this means that fresh content is continuously made available for consumption. Managing content in this manner also becomes easier as modules, plugins, roles, and docs are packaged and tagged with a collection version. Modules can be updated, renamed, improved upon; roles can be updated to Continue reading
