A group of researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have developed a tool that can cross-train standard convolutional neural networks (CNN) to a spiking neural model that can be used on neuromorphic processors. …

VMware has had front row seats to the digital transformation that has touched virtually every organization. We’ve been there (and helped drive!) the journey from monolithic applications hosted on a single server, to distributed apps running in VMs, to further decentralization in the form of cloud-native apps composed of microservices. Now, we’re watching the proliferation of public clouds, the up and coming space of serverless and the adoption of functions as a service as ways to build and deploy applications faster than ever.
It’s this vantage point that also gives us clear line of sight to one of the biggest cyber security challenges that modern enterprises face: as their applications become more distributed, an organization’s attack surface significantly increases. Despite all of the advancements and innovation in the way applications are built, we have not seen the same rate of progress with respect to the way applications are secured. Adopting a zero-trust network security model in an enterprise environment remains incredibly hard to achieve. How do you know what security policies to create? How do you enforce those policies consistently across on-premises physical and virtual environments, let alone the public cloud? How do you enforce them across different Continue reading

A month ago Josef Fuchs described the process he uses to merge existing Cisco IOS device configuration with configuration snippets generated by his network automation solution.
In the second part of his article he dived deep into implementation details, described Ansible playbook and Jinja2 templates he’s using, how he optimized the solution with a custom Jinja2 filter, and the caveats he encountered.

While we tend to focus on work/life balance, perhaps the better question is: how effective are we at using the time we use for work? From a recent study (which you may have already seen):
This is odd—we are starting work earlier, finishing later, and working over weekends, but we still only “work” less than three hours a day.
The first question must be: is this right? How are they measuring productive versus unproductive device time? What is “work time,” really? I know I don’t keep any sort of recognizable “office hours,’ so it seems like it would be hard to measure how much time I spend Continue reading

How is software developed at Amazon? Get a couple of prime pizzas delivered and watch this excellent interview with Ken Exner, GM of AWS Developer Tools. It's notable Ken is from the tools group, because progress in an industry is almost always made possible by the development of better tools.
The key themes from the talk: decomposition, automation, and organize around the customer.
The key idea:
Scaling is by mitosis. Teams split apart into smaller teams that completely own a service. EC2 started as one two pizza team.
This quote nicely embodies all three of the themes and is the key reason AWS keeps on winning the public cloud. Bottom up, Amazon adaptively grows their entire organization in response to customer inputs.
And here's a short gloss of the talk...
