What’s New in Docker Enterprise 3.0
Docker Enterprise 3.0 shipped recently, making it the first and only desktop-to-cloud container platform in the market that lets you build and share any application and securely run them anywhere – from hybrid cloud to the edge. At VMworld, we’ll have demos that shows how Docker Enterprise 3.0 simplifies Kubernetes with the Docker Kubernetes Service (DKS) and enables companies to more easily build modern applications with Docker Desktop Enterprise and Docker Application.Accelerating Your Journey to the Cloud

How Useful Is Social Media Networking for Job Searches
Looking for a job these days is no easy task, which is why many job seekers are using social media networking to help them find jobs that they want to be based on their education, interests, and which companies looking to hire.
According to recent findings by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 70% of all jobs are found through social media with 92% of companies using social media sometime during the hiring process to find eligible candidates that fit in with their company mission and goals, or to weed out candidates whose personal views or actions will reflect badly on the company should they be hired.
How Various Social Media Sites Can Help Job Seekers
There are a variety of social media sites that can help job seekers step up in the career of their choice. Here is a look at how some of the various social media sites can help job seekers.
LinkedIn: Recruiters use LinkedIn to look for candidates to fill positions in their company. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, you won’t come up in searches. In addition, LinkedIn allows job seekers an opportunity to research companies, recruiters, and interviewers before they send in their Continue reading
Second Meeting of the Indian Network Operators’ Group Concludes Successfully
The Indian Network Operators’ Group (INNOG) organized their second meeting ( INNOG 2) in New Delhi on 1-4 July. The event, comprised of a conference and three workshops, was attended by more than 170 local and international participants. The event was supported by ISPAI, APNIC, NIXI, Internet Society, Tata Communications, Telestra, Spectra, Amazon Web Service, Software Technology Parks of India, and COAI. The Internet Society India Delhi Chapter also supported the event.
The conference held on 1 July was inaugurated by Arnold Nipper of DE-CiX, David Huberman of ICANN, Rajesh Chharia of ISPAI, Ramesh Chandra of Reliance JIO, Shailesh Gupta of Tata Communications, and Srinivas Chendi and Anurag Bhatia of Hurricane Electric. The conference sessions covered a variety of topics including root service, routing security, FreeBSD, leveraging IPv6 for explosive growth, and the ecosystem of IXPs. David Huberman of ICANN shared latest updates on DNS and highlighted the Open Forum in which participants can network and exchange ideas.
Subsequently, from 2-4 July, three workshops were held to address the ongoing challenges faced by Indian Internet services providers. The three workshops were on IPv6 deployment, IXP deployment, and the multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) routing technique.
The workshop on IPv6 Continue reading

Reconstructing the Join Command for Kubeadm
If you’ve used kubeadm to bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster, you probably know that at the end of the kubeadm init command to bootstrap the first node in the cluster, kubeadm prints out a bunch of information: how to copy over the admin Kubeconfig file, and how to join both control plane nodes and worker nodes to the cluster you just created. But what if you didn’t write these values down after the first kubeadm init command? How does one go about reconstructing the proper kubeadm join command?
Fortunately, the values needed for a kubeadm join command are relatively easy to find or recreate. First, let’s look at the values that are needed.
Here’s the skeleton of a kubeadm join command for a control plane node:
kubeadm join <endpoint-ip-or-dns>:<port> \
--token <valid-bootstrap-token> \
--discovery-token-ca-cert-hash <ca-cert-sha256-hash> \
--control-plane \
--certificate-key <certificate-key>
And here’s the skeleton of a kubeadm join command for a worker node:
kubeadm join <endpoint-ip-or-dns>:<port> \
--token <valid-bootstrap-token> \
--discovery-token-ca-cert-hash <ca-cert-sha256-hash> \
As you can see, the information needed for the worker node is a subset of the information needed for a control plane node.
Here’s how to find or recreate all the various pieces of information you need:
- The Continue reading

Cloudflare Global Network Expands to 193 Cities
Cloudflare’s global network currently spans 193 cities across 90+ countries. With over 20 million Internet properties on our network, we increase the security, performance, and reliability of large portions of the Internet every time we add a location.
Expanding Network to New Cities
So far in 2019, we’ve added a score of new locations: Amman, Antananarivo*, Arica*, Asunción, Bengaluru, Buffalo, Casablanca, Córdoba*, Cork, Curitiba, Dakar*, Dar es Salaam, Fortaleza, Göteborg, Guatemala City, Hyderabad, Kigali, Kolkata, Male*, Maputo, Nagpur, Neuquén*, Nicosia, Nouméa, Ottawa, Port-au-Prince, Porto Alegre, Querétaro, Ramallah, and Thessaloniki.
Our Humble Beginnings
When Cloudflare launched in 2010, we focused on putting servers at the Internet’s crossroads: large data centers with key connections, like the Amsterdam Internet Exchange and Equinix Ashburn. This not only provided the most value to the most people at once but was also easier to manage by keeping our servers in the same buildings as all the local ISPs, server providers, and other people they needed to talk to streamline our services.
This is a great approach for bootstrapping a global network, but we’re obsessed with speed in general. There are over five hundred cities in the world with over one million inhabitants, but only a handful Continue reading
