It follows reports that Broadcom is planning an unsolicited bid for chipmaker Qualcomm.
Dear Internet,
I am writing some automation code in Go to create client-ssl templates on an A10 load balancer running AXAPI version 2. It’s going as swimmingly as it can with the v2 API, but one area of non-complete API coverage has led to another issue and I’m wondering if anybody has seen the same thing.
SSL access to VIPs on the A10 load balancer is controlled by means of client-ssl templates which define which certificates should be presented and the ciphers and protocols supported for the incoming connection. In this case therefore, disabling SSLv3 is accomplished in the client-ssl template (unfortunately there is no global switch to turn SSLv3 off by default). A typical template might look like this in the configuration:
slb template client-ssl mytemplate cert my_certificate key my_private_key chain-cert some_chain_cert disable-sslv3 !
As it turns out, all aspects of the client-ssl template are exposed via the API except for “disable-sslv3” which shows neither as a returned property of the template (highly annoying), nor as a property which can be set when creating a template (also annoying). Thus to replicate a template like the one above, I choose to set everything I can using the Continue reading
Converged and hyperconverged infrastructure, those tightly integrated systems that bring together compute and storage into pre-tested and pre-configured stacks, continues to be in high demand from enterprises that are looking to rework their datacenters to become private clouds that can more easily and, in the long run, more cheaply host fast-emerging technologies like analytics, mobile applications, Internet of Things telemetry, virtual and augmented reality, and various software-defined infrastructure. These CI and HCI platforms are designed to bring greater flexibility and scalability, ease deployment and management, and reduce costs in areas such as acquisition and power consumption.

Earlier this week, the Internet Society published the booklet Enabling Digital Opportunities in the Middle East. Using research created by the Internet Society, ESCWA, and Wamda, it shows what positive and practical steps can be taken to increase digital opportunity and spread its benefits to all of society. Layal Jebran is one person who’s helping to make a difference.
Layal Jebran is the type of person who can give an interview on the phone while giving directions to her friends while walking through the streets of New York City looking for Thai food. She’s the type of person who can start multiple companies while traveling the world giving motivational speeches and accepting awards. To call the 29-year-old woman, a multitasker would be an understatement. In the startup world, she’s more like a superhero.
“I started as an activist when I was 12 years old,” Jebran said. “And my first startup happened my second year in college.”
That successful startup used the Internet to connect freelance advisers to clients who needed them in the Middle East, but like many entrepreneurs, Jebran didn’t stop there. Lyl Big Designs led to other projects, and she continued developing several different ideas Continue reading
Hey, it's HighScalability time:
Luscious visualization of a neural network as a large directed graph. It's a full layout of the ResNet-50 training graph, a neural network with ~3 million nodes, and ~10 million edges, using Gephi for the graph layout, to output a 25000x25000 pixel image. (mattfyles)

Modernizing Traditional Applications or MTA was one of the themes at DockerCon EU 2017. Traditional applications are typically built a number of years ago but are critical to business operations. The developer and operational skill set to maintain the application may be hard to find. The code base can be difficult to maintain, if it is available at all. The team that wrote the original app may not even be around. The applications go into maintenance mode, which may mean they are patched regularly for vulnerabilities. Any revisions to the code can take significant number of hours to test and deploy, so updates are infrequent. It can also hold back infrastructure improvements as dependency management becomes a huge pain point.
Any modern application needs a faster delivery time that can adapt to change in the market conditions. The pipeline from pushing the code to a source code repository to the application delivery should be efficient, automated, secure and fast. The application should be able to scale to demand, typically done by horizontal scaling across multiple instances. Portability of the application across different infrastructure becomes key in that case. In case of a failure, MTTR should be short and Continue reading
