Kubernetes vendors target container security, operations and management

If you were kicking the tires on Kubernetes and other cloud/container services, you found may have found nirvana at this week’s KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2018 where all manner of new operational software and support from VMware, Arista and others were on display.To access the growing popularity of cloud, Kubernetes and containers, the Cloud Foundry Foundation released the results of a new survey that found among other things that 45 percent of companies are doing at least some cloud-native app development, and 40 percent are doing some re-architecting/refactoring of their legacy apps.To read this article in full, please click here

Darwinian data structure selection

Darwinian data structure selection Basios et al., FSE’18

GraphIt may have caught your attention for the success of its approach, but I suspect for many readers it’s not something you’ll be immediately applying. Darwinian Data Structures (DDSs) on the other hand looks to be of immediate interest to many Java and C++ projects (and generalises beyond those languages).

What I would have called an ADT (e.g., a List), the authors call Darwinian Data Structures. The ‘Darwinian’ part comes from the fact that ADTs have multiple concrete implementations, and Artemis, “a multi-objective, cloud-based search-based optimisation framework” finds the best implementation class (e.g. ArrayList, LinkedList) for your specific use case. It does this using the NSGA-II genetic algorithm-based optimiser in the current implementation.

In brief, Artemis finds the places in your code where you are using an ADT, and explores the possible concrete instantiation space for those ADTs using your test suite as a guide to performance. Then it outputs the transformed source. You might be wondering whether e.g. LinkedList vs ArrayList makes that big a difference in most real world projects:

Artemis achieves substantial performance improvements for every project in Continue reading

Introducing the New Docker Hub

Today, we’re excited to announce that Docker Store and Docker Cloud are now part of Docker Hub, providing a single experience for finding, storing and sharing container images. This means that:

  • Docker Certified and Verified Publisher Images are now available for discovery and download on Docker Hub
  • Docker Hub has a new user experience

 

Millions of individual users and more than a hundred thousand organizations use Docker Hub, Store and Cloud for their container content needs. We’ve designed this Docker Hub update to bring together the features that users of each product know and love the most, while addressing known Docker Hub requests around ease of use, repository and team management.

Here’s what’s new:

Repositories

  • View recently pushed tags and automated builds on your repository page
  • Pagination added to repository tags
  • Improved repository filtering when logged in on the Docker Hub home page

Organizations and Teams

  • As an organization Owner, see team permissions across all of your repositories at a glance.
  • Add existing Docker Hub users to a team via their email (if you don’t remember their of Docker ID)

Webinar: Can Consumers Trust Retailers’ Email? Findings from OTA’s Email Marketing & Unsubscribe Audit

Next Tuesday, 18 December, at 2PM ET (1900 UTC), we’ll be holding a webinar to discuss the results of the Online Trust Alliance’s 5th annual Email Marketing & Unsubscribe Audit.
Two Internet Society organization members from Yes Marketing and Endurance/Constant Contact will co-present with the Internet Society’s Jeff Wilbur, and it should be an interesting discussion that touches on various aspects of email authentication and best practices, online trust, and consumer confidence.
Please register at https://isoc.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_KQ5DzjOeTEGBF0kjNaff7A. It will be recorded if you can’t make it on Tuesday.
The fifth annual Email Marketing & Unsubscribe Audit analyzed the email marketing practices of 200 of North America’s top online retailers and offered advice on providing choice and control to their consumers as well as technical best practices for retailers and marketers to follow. You can read more about it in Kenneth Olmstead’s recap blog post or view the infographic with key findings.
As always, you can follow along with us on Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn. We also have a Facebook event for this webinar at https://www.facebook.com/events/1741572979278130/.
I hope you’ll register and join us on Tuesday, and invite you to share this with anyone you think may be Continue reading
