Intel, other chipmakers warn of price hikes

Major chip vendors including Intel are telling customers that they’re set to begin hiking chip prices in the fourth quarter as they deal with increasing costs and supply shortages.The rumor initially started with Intel. Now Qualcomm and Marvell Technologies have also begun informing customers of price increases, according to a report from Taiwanese publication DigiTimes.“On its Q1 earnings call, Intel indicated it would increase pricing in certain segments of its business due to inflationary pressures. The company has begun to inform customers of these changes,” an Intel spokesperson said in a statement to me.To read this article in full, please click here

Kubernetes Unpacked 005: Serverless Kubernetes In Azure

Since the inception of Kubernetes, the goal has been to make our lives as engineers easier. But with great power comes great responsibility---which in this case is the need to manage a bunch of control planes and worker nodes! Host Michael Levan catches up with Jason Haley, Microsoft MVP and independent consultant to talk about serverless Kubernetes with Azure Container Apps.

More People Using More Data Means Wrestling With Exponential Complexity

If there is one job that system architects are always doing, it is to make highly complex data and the applications that chew on it easier to use, thus making that data more accessible to more people and more applications in an ever-expanding virtuous cycle. …

Day Two Cloud 155: Terraform Stinks

Today on Day Two Cloud, we talk about why Terraform stinks. OK, maybe it doesn't stink, but just because everyone seems to love a particular tool doesn't make it right for you. We talk with Dan Moore, a developer advocate at FusionAuth, who tried to use Terraform and just couldn't get behind it. This episode is based on a presentation Dan gave at Gluecon in May 2022.

All the Things a Service Mesh Can Do

Van Phan Van is a technical product marketing manager for Consul at HashiCorp. He has been in the infrastructure space for most of his career and loves learning about new technologies and getting his hands dirty. When not staring at his computer screen, he's sharing pictures of food to his wife's dismay. Even as service mesh adoption continues to grow, some organizations are still trying to understand the full extent of what a service mesh can and can’t do. They may not realize that a service mesh is not just another single-purpose tool, but one that addresses a wide variety of networking needs. A service mesh may actually help consolidate multiple existing tools to help reduce management toil and costs. Just take a look at these two multicloud network architectures. Automating and offloading network services and security-related capabilities onto a cloud-agnostic service mesh can help simplify management in multicloud environments. Multicloud architecture using cloud-vendor-specific networking solutions: Using a cloud-agnostic service mesh: Many service mesh products include service discovery, zero trust networking and load-balancing capabilities, while some other service mesh products extend even further to provide multicloud/multiruntime connectivity, network automation and north-south traffic control. Let’s take a look at the capabilities Continue reading

EC2 Subnets in AWS Outposts

AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure to on-premise locations, reducing latency and data processing needs. EC2 subnets can be created on AWS Outposts by specifying the AWS Outpost Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the in the creation phase.

The new outpost_arn option of the ec2_vpc_subnet module allows you to do that.

- name: Create an EC2 subnet on an AWS Outpost
  amazon.aws.ec2_vpc_subnet:
    state: present
    vpc_id: vpc-123456
    cidr: 10.1.100.0/24
    outpost_arn: "{{ outpost_arn }}"

The emergence of multi-cloud networking software

Multi-cloud networking software (MCNS), which is available from industry stalwarts like Cisco and VMware, as well as a slew of startups, is designed to address the challenge of how to safely and efficiently connect networks and applications across multiple public cloud environments.Traditional approaches to network architecture and operations are untenable in today’s multi-cloud world, says Brian Casemore, vice president of research, datacenter and multi-cloud networking at IDC.And the cloud service providers have come up short in their ability to effectively integrate multiple clouds, says Ron Howell, managing enterprise network architect at IT consulting firm Capgemini Americas. He says that each public cloud service tends to focus on its own cloud as if it were the only one an enterprise would ever need, which is far from the truth or reality. "This is where multi-cloud networking software adds value," Howell says.To read this article in full, please click here
