Stack Overflow Survey Reconfirms Developer Love for Docker

The 2020 Stack Overflow Developer Survey confirms what we already knew: there’s a lot of developer love out there for Docker and it is continuing from last year.

Docker was the #1 most wanted platform and #2 most loved platform, according to the survey results published last week. We also ranked as the #3 most popular platform.

That’s no fluke. The results are based on nearly 65,000 people who code. And it’s the second year running we’ve acquitted ourselves so admirably in the annual survey. As we shared with you here last summer, developers ranked Docker as the #1 most wanted platform, #2 most loved platform and #3 most broadly used platform in the 2019 Stack Overflow Developer Survey. Those responses came from nearly 90,000 developers from around the world.

  • This year, in the most wanted platform category, nearly 25 percent of developers expressed interest in developing with Docker, ahead of AWS (20.2 percent), Kubernetes (18.5 percent) and Linux (16.6 percent).
  • In the most loved platform category, 73.6 percent of developers expressed interest in continuing to develop with Docker, trailing only first-placed Linux (76.9 percent), and leading Kubernetes (71.1 percent) and AWS (66. Continue reading

Introduction to YAML

Introduction

YAML, previously known as Yet Another Markup Language, but now YAML Ain’t Markup Language, is a human friendly data serialization standard for programming languages.

YAML and JSON, JavaScript Object Notation, are related to each other, where YAML, according to YAML 1.2 specification, is a superset of JSON.

YAML supports using scalars, sequences, and mappings. A scalar is a string, a number, or boolean, a sequence is a list, and a mapping is a key/value pair.

YAML is commonly used by configuration files in open source tools and Ansible, a network automation tool, uses YAML to run its playbooks.

When it comes to YAML syntax, be aware of the following:

  • Indentation matters!
    • Tabs aren’t allowed
    • Normally two spaces used when indenting
  • A single YAML file may contain multiple documents
    • Every document starts with three dashes
  • YAML is case sensitive

Scalars

Scalars are single values. It can be a string, number, or a boolean value. Strings don’t need to be quoted, except for some special cases:

  • The string starts with a special character
    • !#%@&*`?|>{[ or –
  • The string starts or ends with whitespace characters
  • The string contains : or # character sequences
  • The string ends with a Continue reading

Cyberattacks since the murder of George Floyd

Cyberattacks since the murder of George Floyd

As we’ve often seen in the past, real world protest and violence is usually accompanied by attacks on the Internet. This past week has been no exception. The shocking murder of George Floyd on May 25 was followed, over the weekend of May 30/31, by widespread protests and violence in the US. At the same time, Cloudflare saw a large uptick in cyberattacks, particularly cyberattacks on advocacy organizations fighting racism.

This chart shows the number of cyberattack HTTP requests blocked by Cloudflare over the last week (blue line) compared to the corresponding week in April a month before (green line). Cloudflare’s scale means that we are blocking attacks in the many 10s of billions per day, but even with that scale it’s clear that during the last week there have been even more attacks than before. And those attacks grew over the weekend.

Cyberattacks since the murder of George Floyd

Digging in a little deeper we can compare the attacks over this past weekend with a corresponding weekend a month before. Over the weekend of April 25/26, Cloudflare blocked a total of 116,317,347,341 (a little over 116 billion cyberattack HTTP requests performing DDoS or trying to break into websites, apps or APIs were blocked).

Since 116,317,347,341 can Continue reading

COVID-19 Response Must Include Massive Funding for Fiber-Optic Internet Access

By now, many of us are realizing we’ve been taking access to basic things for granted, such as social interaction, health care, on-site education, and…the Internet. While always valuable, the Internet is now a lifeline offering a fortunate few the ability to adapt and maintain a semblance of reality and connection to our employment, health services, and our family and friends. But those who don’t have access to fast, reliable broadband Internet are experiencing the pain of staying at home. Last year, an analysis by Microsoft indicated that 162.8 million Americans aren’t able to use the Internet at broadband speeds. That’s unacceptable, and while there are steps that communities continue to take to build their own networks, Congress needs to lead by taking steps to ensure that broadband access is available at an affordable price to all Americans.

While some cities and states have begun to relax orders, our return to normal life is still a long way off.

Congress took the first important step with the CARES Act, but it did not go far enough. The HEROES Act and the COVID-19 DISASTER in Indian Country Act are a more serious step toward addressing the connectivity needs of localities, and we applaud these Congressional actions. Now, it is time to move this critical legislation Continue reading

Cisco warns of Nexus switch security weakness

Cisco is telling customers of its Nexus core data-center switches to fix or work around a vulnerability that could leave the boxes open to a denial of service attack.The vulnerability, found in the Nexus NX-OS software gets a 8.6 score out of 10 on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System, making it a “High” risk problem.Cisco said the vulnerability is due to an affected device unexpectedly decapsulating and processing IP-in-IP packets that are destined to a locally configured IP address. IP in IP is a tunneling protocol that wraps an IP packet within another IP packet.To read this article in full, please click here

A tiny experimental optical chip can support downloads of 1,000 movies in a split second

An optical chip the size of a fingernail has enabled Australian researchers to set new optical data rate records on the country’s National Broadband Network (NBN).The raw data rate of 44.2Tbps over conventional optical cable is about three times the data rate for the entire NBN network and about 100 times the speed of any single device currently used on the network, the researchers say.10 of the world's fastest supercomputers While the technology is meant for metro-area networks and data centers, those bit rates would support downloads of 1,000 movies in less than a second.To read this article in full, please click here
