The third edition of the India School on Internet Governance (inSIG) took place from 13–15 October 2018 at the India International Centre in New Delhi in partnership with the Internet Society Indian Chapters: Delhi, Trivandrum, Mumbai, and Kolkata. It was supported by the Beyond the Net Funding Programme with the participation of Olaf Kolkman, the Internet Society’s Chief Internet Technology Officer.
Ninety participants joined a three day activity event which included workshops, role play exercises and discussions. The event focused on educating emerging leaders from India and other South Asian countries, such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka on their role in the global Internet Governance ecosystem.
On 12 October 2018, two events were co-hosted: Firstly, The Internet Infrastructure Security Day, a workshop to learn more on pen Internet standards and sharing good practices as part of the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE) – and secondly, India’s first Youth Internet Governance Forum (YIGF), which conducted multiple sessions on topics of relevance to young Internet users, particularly those in secondary school, college, and early employment. Both events were live streamed and viewed by over 1,500 participants.
A range of several industry experts offered insight into India’s Continue reading
Over 72% of all network traffic is encrypted, and that figure is expected to grow. Unfortunately, very few security devices can inspect encrypted data without severely impacting network performance.
December will start with three on-site events:
On the webinar front, December will be a storage month:

If you tackled Monday’s paper on BEAT you deserve something a little easier to digest today, and ‘Towards usable checksums’ fits the bill nicely! There’s some great data-driven product management going on here as the authors set out to quantify current attitudes and behaviours regarding downloading files from the Internet, design a solution to improve security and ease-of-use, and then test their solution to gather feedback and prepare for a more widely deployed beta version.
When I was growing up we were all taught “Don’t talk to strangers”, and “Never get in a stranger’s car”. As has been well noted by others, so much for that advice! Perhaps the modern equivalent is “Don’t download unknown files from the Internet!” This paper specifically looks at applications made directly available from developer websites (vs downloads made through app stores).
A popular and convenient way to download programs is to use official app stores such as Apple’s Mac App Store and Microsoft’s Windows Store. Such platforms, however, have several drawbacks for developers, including long review and validation times, technical restrictions (e.g., sandboxing), Continue reading
The company announced AWS Ground Station to ingest and process data from satellites and send it to the AWS cloud.
The open source platform acts as a next-generation hypervisor targeted at modern architectures and already powers AWS' Lambda and Fargate services.

Problem Statement – Have a list of VMWare Instances and wanted to quickly iterate and see what VMs are powered on, this has nothing to do with Vmware or ESXI, look at the below image, programmatically I want to pick two specific rows and perform dictionary operations on them.

for someone like me who is partly into programming and mostly into networking, anything effective is easy, I could have gone with the other way of doing this but since Pandas are effective i would text parsing with them.
I only want two sections which are of interest to me, in a normal way maybe I should have pasted this in excel and Do a text to the column and do a manual data extraction, but wanted to do it with Pandas and they are powerful.
First things first
Let’s see how this proceeds
Pandas make it so powerful to just pick Columns out of the fly, in this case, I wanted Continue reading
HPC and the cloud have an uneasy, lukewarm relationship. Some corporations running HPC environments take the view that they have the infrastructure and software capabilities they need to run their own often massive workloads and taking on the networking costs, security concerns and management hassles of running applications and keep data in the cloud doesn’t make sense to them. …

It tends to get overlooked in favor of GPU acceleration but scaling deep learning on existing CPU-based HPC infrastructure is not just possible, but with the right level of optimization and fine-tuning, the performance and efficiency results can be comparable. …

The simplest way to describe HammerSpace is that they are an abstraction layer between data and metadata. David Flynn, CEO described it like this. “We have introduced an abstraction which separates the data consumer side and the storage infrastructure side. And that’s really what’s necessary before we can manage data in the cloud.”
