Steve Singh Joins Docker’s Board of Directors
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

Security and Delegation with Ansible Tower, Part 1
This is part of a series of posts about how Ansible and Ansible Tower enable you to manage your infrastructure simply, securely, and efficiently.
When we talk about Tower, we often talk in terms of control, knowledge, and delegation. But what does that mean? In previous posts in this series, we've talked about the concept of 'control', as it relates to both managing your infrastructure and managing your automation. Today we're going to explain delegation, and the security aspects that go into that.
DELEGATION - THE BASICS
Ansible Playbooks, out of the box, are pretty simple - you run Ansible as a particular user, you pass it whatever inventory you want to manage, and it uses whatever credentials the executing user happens to have on hand. This is great for getting automating quickly, but what if you want to delegate automation to someone else to run as needed? You need to provide an inventory file for Ansible and Playbook to them (hopefully they don't edit them), and give them credentials (hopefully they won't use them for something else).That's where the control, knowledge, and delegation features of Ansible Tower come into play.
STEP 1: CREDENTIALS
Ansible Tower securely stores credentials for Continue readingAdvances in In Situ Processing Tie to Exascale Targets
Waiting for a simulation to complete before visualizing the results is often an unappealing prospect for researchers.
Verifying that output matches expectations early in a run helps prevent wasted computation time, which is particularly important on systems in high demand or when a limited allocation is availableIn addition, the growth in the ability to perform computation continues to outpace the growth in the ability to performantly store the results. The ability to analyze simulation output while it is still resident in memory, known as in situ processing, is appealing and sometimes necessary for researchers running large-scale simulations.
