First Look at the DockerCon San Francisco 2018 Agenda
From June 12th – 15th, San Francisco will welcome 6,000+ developers, sysadmins, architects, VP of Apps and other IT leaders to get hands-on with the latest innovations in the container ecosystem at DockerCon 2018. Today, we are excited to share a first look at the DockerCon Agenda. We’ve brought back some of your favorite from past DockerCons and are also thrilled to welcome many first time DockerCon speakers to the stage. Here is a first look at some of our favorites sessions:
Customers in Production
Use case sessions highlight how companies are using Docker to modernize their infrastructure and build, manage and secure distributed applications. These sessions are heavy on business value, ROI and production implementation advice, and learnings.

EVPN’s 4 critical benefits for digital transformation
Digital transformation demands more of everything: speed, throughput, agility and scalability. That’s why organizations are rethinking traditional layer 2 switched data center architectures and moving towards intelligent layer 3 routed network designs. With a layer 3 architecture, your data center can use proven routing protocols to simplify troubleshooting, facilitate upgrades, scale efficiently and converge traffic.
But what about the applications, storage appliances and multi-tenant environments that still require traditional layer 2 connectivity? Legacy protocols that enable layer 2 traffic to run over a layer 3 routed infrastructure have significant limitations that become serious obstacles when the data center must scale, accommodate multiple vendors’ systems or support multi-tenancy. Fortunately, there’s a scalable, simple, non-proprietary solution. Enter EVPN.
Cumulus’ unique Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) solution offers unmatched interoperability and efficiency. By adding VXLAN distributed routing, Cumulus EVPN undoes all of the complications of layer 2 connectivity and frees you from reliance on proprietary controllers. Looking for proof that EVPN delivers on that promise? We’ve got plenty of evidence, so here’s four major advantages of utilizing EVPN to meet the demands of digital transformation.
1) Accommodate growth without disruption
With Cumulus EVPN, you can quickly and Continue reading

CEO Succession at the Internet Society – Status update (Feb 2018)
This is a status update on where we are in the CEO search process. In my last note to the community, I explained that we were finishing the selection of a search firm to support us during the process and that we were planning to launch an open call for candidates in February.
After issuing an RFP and conducting a set of interviews with several firms, the CEO Search Committee selected a search firm. The selected firm is Perrett Laver.
Based on, among other things, all the community feedback we have received on the following email address (you can still send your input to that address), the CEO Search Committee has developed a draft job description:
In order to refine the job description and to make sure we gather all the input we need, the search firm is going to conduct informational interviews with the leadership of our communities. Accordingly, they are going to interview the chairs of the OMAC (Organization Advisory Council), the ChAC (Chapters Advisory Council), and the IETF (the chairs of the IAB and the IAOC will also be interviewed). ISOC’s executive team (staff) will also be interviewed. You can also talk with Continue reading
The New HPE Sheriff Lays Down The Hybrid IT Law
There is a new sheriff in town at Hewlett Packard Enterprise – that would be chief executive officer Antonio Neri – and that means a new way of looking at the books and therefore steering the business. No, we didn’t mean that the other way around.
In opening up its books for the first quarter of its fiscal 2018 year, which ended in January, we can see some important things about HPE’s business, and at the same time, we have lost some visibility about core parts of its business.
First of all, the books have been reclassified significantly in the …

Getting Started: Using New Kerberos Feature in Ansible Tower
Welcome to another post in our Getting Started series. In our previous post, we discussed how you can set up and use LDAP in your Red Hat Ansible Tower instance. In this post we are going to discuss a new feature in regard to Windows authentication with Kerberos. Before we get started, please note that these changes will not affect the current configuration you are using if you have previously used Kerberos with Ansible Tower. Your setup should function the same way as before.
Using Kerberos to Connect to Windows
Using Kerberos with Ansible and Ansible Tower to connect to your Windows hosts before the release of Ansible 2.3 required some prior scaffolding tasks be set up before you were able to fully use it. The necessary packages for Kerberos are still required to be on the machine that Ansible Tower is installed on. The documentation on the required materials and configuration changes can be found here if you are just starting out or need a refresher.
The main change that comes to using Kerberos with Ansible and Ansble Tower is how Ansible manages Kerberos “tokens” or “tickets." Ansible Tower defaults to automatically managing Kerberos tickets (as Continue reading
International Cooperation Needed to Create an “Increasingly Beneficial Internet”
New norms of behavior are needed for Internet users, and it’s time for governments, companies, other organizations, and individuals to work together to define those standards, Internet advocates say.
Even as the Internet gives more and more people new ways to express themselves and improve their standard of living, it also creates problems that demand international and multistakeholder cooperation, speakers at the Global Internet and Jurisdiction Conference 2018 in Ottawa, Canada, said Monday.
The Internet has driven forward the ideas of globalization and equal opportunity for everyone, but technological advances have also created complexity that many people weren’t prepared for, said Kathy Brown, president and CEO of Internet Society.
“We now face enormous challenges as the pace of change has accelerated faster than did our human institutions, societal and existing global agreements,” she said during the first day of the conference.
Many governments have looked toward heavy regulation and censorship as a way to deal with this complex environment, Brown added.
Governments in some countries “are doubling down on what they know how to do — shut it down, shut it off, censor users, regulate creators,” she added. “The global Internet community, itself, is in danger of splintering into predictable commercial, Continue reading
