It’s focused on meeting demand for its products.
It’s focused on meeting demand for its products.
It’s October in the UK and blimey charlie, it’s a bit chilly. Good news then that the OpenStack Summit is in Barcelona! In comparison to Canada or Japan, it’s on my doorstep! Spain being the home of English holiday makers, the smell of sun cream, sangria and chicken nugget dinners awaits.
It Felt Different
Needless to say, I play investigator at these summits. Whether it’s the SDN congress, OpenStack or other networking events, the cynical grump hat is donned. Before I even managed to investigate anything, I felt something different. The hype lever was set to average and this show felt almost corporate. Good news or bad news? Something I’ve struggled to quantify all week and even now as I sit on the home bound flight to Blighty, I continue to ponder.
Big bang news was lacking like previous shows. Realistic use cases, real commentary and on-stage demos made this feel different. One of the demos made me both cringe and chuckle as Mark Collier played real life chaos monkey, pulling fibres and eventually even cutting through them during an EPC demo which included OPNFV Doctor and Vitrage. This demoed OpenStack’s capability to integrate with monitoring and life cycle tooling. Continue reading

Hi folks, here’s another “pre” post. What I mean by that is that in the process of creating a demo and the surrounding article, I found I needed to create a sidebar article in order to show how configure an important component. In this case, the requirement to fulfill forward and reverse name server resolution in RHV has lead me to create a basic DNS server. In this case, “dnsmasq” is a perfect solution…
Let me be clear here: I am NOT recommending dnsmasq for production DNS. For production I would recommend deploying BIND, Red Hat IdM, or something else. I’m using dnsmasq because I need something for my home lab and I think you might benefit from the configuration I’m using in your home or test lab. I don’t have that many systems, and a lightweight service like dnsmasq will work nicely.
Background
The RHV 4 documentation is very clear about the requirement for FQDN and fully functional DNS. Simply relying on “/etc/hosts” isn’t going to cut it anymore. Dnsmasq will provide a great and simple solution for small labs. For the uninitiated, dnsmasq provides DHCP, TFTP, DNS, and DNS forwarding. We’ll really only be concerned with the DNS Continue reading
Our monthly summary of executive moves and changes.
The whole team at Docker would like to welcome Steve Singh, CEO of Concur and Member of SAP’s Executive Board to the Docker family. Steve has accepted a role on Docker’s Board of Directors, bringing his deep experience in building world-class organizations. Steve leads the SAP Business Networks & Applications Group, which brings together teams from Ariba, Fieldglass, Concur, SAP Health, Business Data Network and SMP ERP groups. We had a chance to sit down with Steve to get his thoughts on his appointment to the Docker Board.
How and why did you initially become involved with Docker?
I was certainly aware of Docker. There were also a number of groups across SAP that were using Docker. When a member of the Docker board approached me about joining the company’s Board of Directors, I learned a fair bit more about the market opportunity Docker was pursuing and could easily see the importance of the Docker suite for corporate IT and ISV’s. I was also intrigued by the opportunity to support Ben and Solomon in building an enduring business.
What led you to joining Docker’s board?
For me, there are two requirements when considering board roles. The first question I Continue reading
