The CloudMunch acquisition is the third significant purchase this year by JFrog.
Few companies have provided better insight into how they think about new hardware for large-scale deep learning than Chinese search giant, Baidu.
As we have detailed in the past, the company’s Silicon Valley Research Lab (SVAIL) in particular has been at the cutting edge of model development and hardware experimentation, some of which is evidenced in their publicly available (and open source) DeepBench deep learning benchmarking effort, which allowed users to test different kernels across various hardware devices for training.
Today, Baidu SVAIL extended DeepBench to include support for inference as well as expanded training kernels. Also of …

For #AskAnsible posts, we interview Ansible experts on IT automation topics and ask them to share their direct experiences building automation solutions.
In this post, I’ve asked Matt Davis five questions about Ansible for Windows automation.
Matt Davis is a Senior Principal Software Engineer for Ansible, focused on Ansible's Windows support. He has over 20 years experience in software engineering, architecture and operations at companies large and small. An avid musician, maker and home hacker, Matt lives with his wife and daughter in Beaverton, Oregon. You can follow him on Twitter at @mattdavispdx.
1. How is Ansible for Windows different than System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) or Powershell Desired State Configuration (DSC)?
Matt: SCCM is generally considered a legacy workstation-flavored management technology, dating from the mid 1990s (though many places use it for server management, too). It requires agents on the managed hosts, which must be installed, configured and kept up-to-date. SCCM executes many operations locally and asynchronously from the server, so it's often difficult to orchestrate interdependent changes across hosts, and to reason about the overall system state at any point in time as part of larger deployments.
DSC is a much more modern management technology, supporting both an Continue reading

Jason Wells, over on LinkedIn, has an article up about the end of MPLS; to wit—
To being—I actually work with Aryaka on occasion, and within the larger SD-WAN world more often (I am a member of the TAB over at Velocloud, for instance). This is decidedly not a post about the usefulness or future of SD-WAN solutions (though I do have opinions there, as you might have guessed). Rather, what I want to point out is that we, in the networking industry, tend to be rather sloppy about our language in ways that are not helpful.
To understand, it is useful to back up a few years and consider other technologies where our terms have become confused, and how it has impacted our Continue reading
