With so much emphasis placed on the software in software-defined infrastructures, the hardware is often overlooked. Don’t make this mistake. It takes real work to make components behave as a system.
Google is pulling out all the stops to bring more enterprise customers to its cloud.
There are a lot of different kinds of machine learning, and some of them are not based exclusively on deep neural networks that learn from tagged text, audio, image, and video data to analyze and sometimes transpose that data into a different form. …

When full composability is achieved, data centers will be defined by the needs of applications. This will require simple, open, standards-based, and scalable solutions.
Contrail’s enterprise multi-cloud platform is integrated with Nutanix APIs to give enterprises better visibility into virtualized workloads. It also paves the way for more automation.
AirHop Communications joined the SK Telecom and TIP hosted accelerator center in Seoul to develop its self-organizing network platform for 5G NR use cases.
The application performance management (APM) platform provides native visibility into containers running on Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift, and Pivotal Cloud Foundry.
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly technology evolves. In 2007, the iPhone was released and dramatically transformed the way we communicate. Then, less than three years later, the first iPad hit consumer shelves and revolutionized personal computing. Now, Internet service providers around the world are racing to deploy the infrastructure needed to fuel our transition into smart cities of increasingly connected homes and driverless cars.
While some major U.S. cities are set to get home access to 5G broadband speeds as soon as this month, there are still many people living in rural and remote Indigenous communities across North America that struggle to open an email.
It’s time to get our priorities straight. The Internet is a powerful tool transforming virtually every aspect of our lives. But we can’t move forward if anyone is left behind. Indigenous voices must count in our digital future.
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) recently made an important step in the right direction when it released details of its $750 million Broadband Fund to improve connectivity in underserved and remote regions of Canada.
The fund makes an important commitment to ensure applicants consult with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis and Continue reading
European test lab EANTC tested several SD-WAN vendors solutions and compared their scalability and performance.
The idea behind graceful upgrades is to swap out the configuration and code of a process while it is running, without anyone noticing it. If this sounds error prone, dangerous, undesirable and in general a bad idea – I’m with you. However, sometimes you really need them. Usually this happens in an environment where there is no load balancing layer. We have these at Cloudflare, which led to us investigating and implementing various solutions to this problem.
Coincidentally, implementing graceful upgrades involves some fun low-level systems programming, which is probably why there are already a bajillion options out there. Read on to learn what trade-offs there are, and why you should really really use the Go library we are about to open source. For the impatient, the code is on github and you can read the documentation on godoc.
So what does it mean for a process to perform a graceful upgrade? Let’s use a web server as an example: we want to be able to fire HTTP requests at it, and never see an error because a graceful upgrade is happening.
We know that HTTP uses TCP under the Continue reading
Perhaps the biggest benefit of containers is that they can be managed by Kubernetes, which is a pre-defined operational model.
Containers may make life easier for developers, but they can complicate matters for the operations team. These best practices can help.
