Gremlin Chaos Engineering Now Attacks Docker Containers
The software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform recreates common Docker container failures across three categories: resource, network, and state.

Networking professionals no longer can only have a limited scope of skills. The addition of other certifications will mean more career growth and more pay.
It is intuitively obvious that most enterprises are want to embrace the public cloud, and they do not want to have a sole source of their cloudy compute, storage, and networking. …

The Internet Engineering Task Force has reached a significant milestone in the process of evolving its own administrative structure to best suit the current requirements of its work. After nearly two years of discussion about various options, the IETF community has created the IETF Administrative LLC (IETF LLC), a new legal entity. Both the Internet Society’s CEO & President Kathy Brown and the Internet Society’s Board of Trustees Chair Gonzalo Camarillo have expressed strong support for the process that has led to this point, and for the direction the IETF has decided to take. Continuing its long-standing positions, the Internet Society also made financial commitments to support the process, and to the IETF going forward.
All of us at the Internet Society who work closely with the IETF believe this new administrative structure strengthens the the foundation for an Internet built on open standards. The new structure will not change any aspect of the IETF’s technical work or the Internet standards process, and clarifies the relationship between ISOC and the IETF. Importantly, the IETF and ISOC continue to be strongly aligned on key principles. ISOC initiatives related to the IETF, such as the Technical Fellows to the IETF and the Continue reading
Making money from sand is not as easy as making money from oil, and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, which has been assembling the GlobalFoundries chip making giant for the past decade is finding that out the hard way and as a consequence, the company is backing off on its development of 7 nanometer manufacturing techniques, which included a double whammy of traditional immersion lithography techniques as well as a move towards bleeding-edge extreme ultraviolet (EUV) technology. …

Last year, the Internet Society unveiled the 2017 Global Internet Report: Paths to Our Digital Future. The interactive report identifies the drivers affecting tomorrow’s Internet and their impact on Media & Society, Digital Divides, and Personal Rights & Freedoms. We interviewed Chris Riley to hear his perspective on the forces shaping the Internet’s future.
Chris Riley is Director, Public Policy at Mozilla, working to advance the open Internet through public policy analysis and advocacy, strategic planning, coalition building, and community engagement. Chris manages the global Mozilla public policy team and works on all things Internet policy, motivated by the belief that an open, disruptive Internet delivers tremendous socioeconomic benefits, and that if we as a global society don’t work to protect and preserve the Internet’s core features, those benefits will go away. Prior to joining Mozilla, Chris worked as a program manager at the U.S. Department of State on Internet freedom, a policy counsel with the nonprofit public interest organization Free Press, and an attorney-advisor at the Federal Communications Commission.
The Internet Society: Why is there a need for promoting a better understanding of technology amongst policy wonks, and of policy among technologists?

Application security requires collaboration between developers and security ops. Organizations need to align expectations of the two groups and shift security to the left, into the development pipeline.
As promised, here’s the second part of my Benefits of Network Automation interview with Christoph Jaggi published in German on Inside-IT last Friday (part 1 is here).
The biggest challenge everyone faces when starting the network automation is the snowflake nature of most enterprise networks and the million one-off exceptions we had to make in the past to cope with badly-designed applications or unrealistic user requirements. Remember: you cannot automate what you cannot describe in enough details.

For the last couple of posts we’ve been looking at Snorkel and BabbleLabble which both depend on data programming – the ability to intelligently combine the outputs of a set of labelling functions. The core of data programming is developed in two papers, ‘Data programming: creating large training sets, quickly’ (Ratner 2016) and today’s paper choice, ‘Learning the structure of generative models without labeled data’ (Bach 2017).
The original data programming paper works explicitly with input pairs (x,y) (e.g. the chemical and disease word pairs we saw from the disease task in Snorkel) which (for me at least) confuses the presentation a little compared to the latter ICML paper which just assumes inputs (which could of course have pair structure, but we don’t care about that at this level of detail). Also in the original paper dependencies between labelling functions are explicitly specified by end users (as one of four types: similar, fixing, reinforcing, and exclusive) and built into a factor graph. In the ICML paper dependencies are learned. So I’m going to work mostly from ‘Learning the structure of generative Continue reading
The new Dell EMC VxRail G560 will be the first and only HCI appliance jointly developed with VMware to provide integrations that seamlessly work with VMware Cloud Services.
“Proprietary is not a word in our dictionary,” said Andy Bechtolsheim, founder, chief development officer, and chairman at Arista.
The project is housed in the Linux Foundation and is a standardized way for managing the flow of metadata between different big data technologies and vendor platforms.
