Captains Take 5 – Nick Janetakis
Docker Captains are select members of the community that are both experts in their field and are passionate about sharing their Docker knowledge with others. “Docker Captains Take 5” is a regular blog series where we get a closer look at our Captains and ask them the same broad set of questions ranging from what their best Docker tip is to whether they prefer cats or dogs (personally, we like whales and turtles over here). Today, we’re interviewing Nick Janetakis who has been a Docker Captain since 2016. He is a freelance full stack developer / teacher and is based in New York, United States.
How/when did you first discover Docker?
I was doing freelance web development work and kept running into situations where it was painful to set up my development environment for web apps created with Ruby on Rails. Different apps had different Ruby version requirements as well as needing different PostgreSQL and Redis versions too.
I remember running a manually provisioned Linux VM on my Windows dev box and did most of my development there. I even started to use LXC directly within that Linux VM.
That wasn’t too bad after investing a lot of time to Continue reading
Does Unequal-Cost Multipathing Make Sense?
Every now and then I’m getting questions along the lines “why doesn’t X support unequal-cost multipathing (UCMP)?” for X in [ OSPF, BGP, IS-IS ].
To set the record straight: BGP does support some rudimentary form of unequal-cost multipathing with the DMZ Bandwidth community, but it only works across multiple egress points from a single autonomous system. Follow-up nerd knobs described how to use the same community over EBGP sessions; not sure whether anyone implemented that part (comments welcome).

Intel Knows It’s All In The Packaging
The package is the most compact platform to do heterogenous integration for IP that can’t be naturally integrated in silicon but steady incremental improvements versus game-changing approaches are the only foreseeable path forward. …

DeepLearning – Intro Fun
I am enjoying insights into deep learning and computer vision and how machine learning is applied on images. While Deep Learning and Nueral networks are subjects for experts in field, I wanted simply to be an end user to do some experiments on my dog and nothing more. I have to mention that I had internal resources to get training on image augmentation techniques, DLL Nueral network frameworks pretrained to be used readily but am still trying to find some way into what this technology is all about and how to implement in my AWS Deeplens.

This is a good book to get introduced into pytorch and deep learning terminology. There is a very interesting examples of doing image manipulation of a horse to zebra, and how you can transfer that learning to anything.
Below is how I used on my Dog and results, I had fun starting this and hope you will have fun too, you dont need any great programming or math to just access some of the Neural networks and do some analysis

I wrote this post to let anyone interested to know that I dint had to write any complicated coding Continue reading

The Hedge #72: Lisa Caywood and Marketectures
The open source world is not much different than the commercial world in terms of building marketectures rather than useable software—largely because open source projects still rely on sources of funding and material support to build and maintain a product. Many times, however, the focus on these marketectures get in the way of real work. Join Tom Ammon, Russ White, and Lisa Caywood as we discuss the problem of marketectures and the broader world of open source software.
Natural Remedies For Dry Mouth When Public Speaking
Are you suffering from dry mouth? Well, anyone would be worried. But, you do not need to worry anymore. The good news is that there are some extremely handy natural and home remedies that will help you overcome the problem.

Drink A Lot Of Water
The most common cause of dry mouth is dehydration. When your body does not get enough water, it tries to send you the message in its own ways. Dry mouth is also one of the ways in which your body might try to send you the message that it is not getting enough water intake. So, if you are facing this condition lately, then you should definitely increase the amount of water that you are taking daily.
Suck On Sugarless Candies
The next thing that you can do to cure the condition is to suck on sugarless candies. Although this is not the permanent solution to the problem, it Continue reading
Introducing HCX 4.0: Migration Event Details and Estimation, In-Service Upgrades, and more
VMware HCX is indeed a swiss army knife — a mobility platform with several options to streamline and optimize workload migrations between on-premises and VMC-based environments. HCX delivers secure, seamless app mobility and infrastructure hybridity across vSphere 6.0 and later versions, both on-premises and in the cloud. Thousands of customers worldwide use HCX for faster, safer, and large-scale migrations, cost-savings, and efficient operations.
Today, we are excited to announce an important milestone in this journey — HCX 4.0, a major release that introduces new functionality and enhancements. This release focuses on providing enhanced visibility, reducing service downtime during upgrades, and simplifying the reconfiguration of NSX security policies post-migration.
Let’s take a look at some of the new capabilities in HCX 4.0:
New Release Versioning and Lifecycle Policies
Starting with the HCX 4.0.0 release, HCX is switching its naming convention from ‘R’ releases to Major.Minor.Maintenance semantic versioning to align with VMware convention. VMware HCX will now use X.Y.Z.P where:
- X is a major version.
- Y is a minor version.
- Z is a maintenance version.
- P is a patch version. This is a unique bit that uses the build number.
Please also note that the VMware N-2 Lifecycle Policy will be applicable with the new convention, providing extended support and additional flexibility to customers.
Each Major or Minor release will have a minimum support duration of 12 months (*).

Day Two Cloud 086: AWS Succession – Does It Matter Who’s The Next CEO?
AWS needs a new CEO now that Andy Jassy has been tapped to run the Amazon mothership. Does the cloud giant need a high-powered, Type-A successor to drive AWS's growth, or is it now so dominant that a ham sandwich could run the company?
