Run Well-Designed Experiments to Learn Faster

I know that everyone learns in a slightly different way. Let me share the approach that usually works well for me when a tough topic I’m trying to master includes a practical (hands-on) component: running controlled experiments.

Sounds arcane and purely academic? How about a simple example?

A week ago I talked about this same concept in the Building Network Automation Solutions online course. The video is already online and you get immediate access to it (and the rest of the course) when you register for the next live session.

Looking Ahead to Intel’s Secret Exascale Architecture

There has been a lot of talk this week about what architectural direction Intel will be taking for its forthcoming exascale efforts. As we learned when the Aurora system (expected to be the first U.S. exascale system) at Argonne National Lab shifted from the planned Knights Hill course, Intel was seeking a replacement architecture—one that we understand will not be part of the Knights family at all but something entirely different.

Just how different that will be is up for debate. Some have posited that the exascale architecture will feature fully integrated hardware acceleration (no offload model needed for …

Worth Reading: Route Leaks

Route leaks are a fact of life on the Internet. According to one ISP’s observations, on any given day of the week, between 10-20% of announcements are actually leaks. Type 6 route leaks can be alleviated in part by technical and/or operational measures. For internal prefixes never meant to be routed on the Internet, one suggestion is to use origin validation to filter leaks, but this requires adoption of RPKI and only deals with two specific types of leak.– Brenden Kuerbis @ CircleID

Docker Enterprise Edition Certified as Kubernetes Conformant

Yesterday, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®) announced that Docker Enterprise Edition (Docker EE) passed the Certified Kubernetes™ conformance program. Based on the upcoming release of Docker EE that was demonstrated onstage at DockerCon Europe, this certification guarantees that all Kubernetes APIs function as specified to deliver a consistent and portable Kubernetes experience within Docker EE.

Docker EE Certified Kubernetes

In addition to a fully-conformant, unmodified  Kubernetes experience, users of Docker EE will also have access to the advanced capabilities of the Docker platform including simple and powerful clustering, a secure end-to-end supply chain, and validation to run on all major Linux distributions, Windows, IBM mainframe, and several leading public clouds. By integrating Kubernetes into Docker EE, we simplify and advance the management of Kubernetes for enterprise IT.  

Conformance Testing

Docker EE was certified against Kubernetes v1.8 by passing a test suite overseen by SIG Architecture. The test gives end users the confidence that Docker EE delivers a high level of common functionality to the main Kubernetes distribution and these results are validated by CNCF.

As a Certified Kubernetes platform, we are also promising to release new versions of Docker EE with Kubernetes to ensure that customers can take advantage of the rapid pace Continue reading
