3 Customer Stories You Don’t Want to Miss at DockerCon Barcelona 2018
One of the great things about DockerCon is the opportunity to learn from your peers and find out what they’re doing. We’re pleased to announce several of the sessions in our Customer Stories track. In the track, you’ll hear from your peers who are using Docker Enterprise to modernize legacy applications, build new services and products, and transform the customer experience.
These are just a few of the sessions in the catalog today. You can browse the full list of sessions here. We also have a few more we’ll announce over the coming weeks (some customers just like to keep things under wraps for a little longer).

Figuring Out AWS Networking
One of my friends reviewing the material of my AWS Networking webinar sent me this remark:
I'm always interested in hearing more about how AWS network works under the hood – it’s difficult to gain that knowledge.
As always, it’s almost impossible to find out the behind-the-scenes details, and whatever Amazon is telling you at their re:Invent conference should be taken with a truckload of salt… but it’s relatively easy to figure out a lot of things just by observing them and performing controlled experiments.

Sometimes during exploration or projects, I want to take a YANG model and convert it along with related dependencies to a Swagger format (think OpenAPI if you’re not familiar with this) so I can create a REST or RESTConf API interface. OpenDayLight does something very similar for it’s Swagger based North Bound Interface (NBI), more information here and just being able to look at the model this way is sometimes helpful. If you’re wondering how helpful this could be, think about developing a client. Using this approach, it’s possible to create stub client and server code for a software implementation, leaving just the logic of what to do when a POST is made or a GET is requested etc.
You may be familiar enough with YANG to know that YANG is a modeling language with its own extensible type system. These YANG models are mostly used for modeling how a programmatic interface to control a feature should be on routers and switches. More recently thanks to the wave of automation sweeping across the globe, YANG models are now used for modeling services, which in turn are rendered over one or more nodes by something else. We’re not going to cover Continue reading
Oracle Curates CNCF Projects
The move provides enterprises that are overwhelmed by available options with the choice of tested, open source tools that can be used to construct cloud-native-based applications.
Some notes for journalists about cybersecurity
Journalism is about telling the truth, not a close approximation of the truth, but the true truth. They don't do a good job at this in cybersecurity.
Take, for example, a recent incident where the Associated Press fired a reporter for photoshopping his shadow out of a photo. The AP took a scorched-earth approach, not simply firing the photographer, but removing all his photographs from their library.
That's because there is a difference between truth and near truth.
Now consider Bloomberg's story, such as a photograph of a tiny chip. Is that a photograph of the actual chip the Chinese inserted into the motherboard? Or is it another chip, representing the size of the real chip? Is it truth or near truth?
Or consider the technical details in Bloomberg's story. They are garbled, as this discussion shows. Something like what Bloomberg describes is certainly plausible, something exactly what Bloomberg describes is impossible. Again there is the question of truth vs. near truth.
There are other near truths involved. For example, we know that supply chains often replace high-quality expensive components with cheaper, Continue reading
Harmonic Offers a Container Version of Its CableOS
The CableOS software core can be deployed on common-off-the-shelf servers.
Why CUPS Is a Critical Tool in the 5G Toolbox
Separating the control plane and the user plane in wireless networks will allow network operators more flexibility with different types of traffic.
Pulumi Code Dev Platform Adds Premium Team Tier, Scores $15M Series A
The firm's SaaS platform acts as a translation layer between the language a developer is using to write code and where that code is being sent.
Reaction: The Importance of Open APIs
Over at CIMI, Tom Nolle Considers whether the open API is a revolution, or a cynical trap. The line of argument primarily relates to accessing functions in a Virtual Network Function (VNF), which is then related to Network Function Virtualization (NFV). The broader point is made in this line:
This is true—if you design the API first, it will necessarily impose information flow between the different system components, and even determine, at least to some degree, the structure of the software modules on either side of the API. For instance, if you decide to deploy a single network appliance vendor, then your flow of building packet filters will be similar across all devices. However, if you add a second vendor into the mix, you might find the way packet filters are described and deployed are completely different, requiring a per-device module that moves from intent to implementation.
While this problem will always Continue reading
Interview with Juniper Networks Ambassador Jeff Fry
