Networking for young professionals is often thought to be the way to get started in a career, and while networking can help young professionals find their first job, there are also a number of different benefits of networking for young professionals other than just learning how to network for a job. Here is a look at some of those additional benefits of networking for young professionals.
Networking with other professionals in the same career can help you to identify the best practices in your given field. This can be extremely important to young professionals just starting out, because it can show them things to suggest to their employer that may increase production or safety. This will have the added benefit of putting you on your employer’s or manager’s radar as someone to watch when it comes to giving out future promotions.
Networking with other professionals in your field can keep you updated on changing trends in your particular business. In order to grow as a professional, you need to constantly keep up on the various trends in your business to Continue reading
2019 was a big year for Kubernetes adoption, and 2020 is sure to exceed that pace. Already, we have seen a large number of organizations migrating their workloads to Kubernetes (k8s) both in public and private clouds as they embrace a hybrid cloud strategy. With so much at stake, what are you currently using for network security inside your k8s cluster?
Let’s take a step back to a time when you were deploying applications to VMs in AWS, GCP or Azure (in the case of public clouds) or vSphere, etc. in private clouds. One of the most important tasks before provisioning infrastructure and deploying applications was to chalk out firewall considerations. These requirements were fulfilled using security group rules in the case of AWS or firewall rules in GCP. We all understand their importance. But doing the same involving Kubernetes was extremely challenging. Today, we can solve those problems for you with just a few clicks.
Most recently with the increase in k8s adoption we have seen operations and platform teams hustling to implement a plethora of monitoring tools, logging backends and CI/CD tools. While all of this is Continue reading

Docker is proud and happy to announce the donation of our cnab-to-oci library to the CNAB project 
. This project was created last year after Microsoft and Docker moved the CNAB specification to the Linux Foundation’s Joint Development Foundation. At that time, the CNAB specification repository was moved from the deislab GitHub organization to the new cnabio organization. The reference implementations – cnab-go which is the Golang library implementation of the specification and duffle which is the CLI reference implementation – were also moved.
Docker helped with the development of the CNAB specification and its reference implementations, and led the work on the cnab-to-oci library for sharing a CNAB bundle using an existing container registry. This library is now used by 3 CNAB tools, Docker App, Porter and duffle, as well as Docker Hub. It successfully demonstrated how to push, pull and share a CNAB bundle using a registry. This work will be used as a foundation for the future CNAB Registries specification.
The transfer is already in effect, so starting now please refer to github.com/cnabio/cnab-to-oci in your Golang imports.
As you may know, Continue reading

Got this question from one of ipSpace.net subscribers:
Do we really need those intelligent datacenter switches for underlay now that we have NSX in our datacenter? Now that we have taken a lot of the intelligence out of our underlying network, what must the underlying network really provide?
Reading the marketing white papers the answer would be IP connectivity… but keep in mind that building your infrastructure based on information from vendor white papers usually gives you the results your gullibility deserves.

This paper tells the story of Let’s Encrypt, from it’s early beginnings in 2012/13 all the way to becoming the world’s largest HTTPS Certificate Authority (CA) today – accounting for more currently valid certificates than all other browser-trusted CAs combined. Beyond the functionality that Let’s Encrypt provides, the story stands out to me for two key ingredients. Firstly, whereas normally we trade-off between security and ease-of-use, Let’s Encrypt made the web more secure through ease-of-use. Secondly, Let’s Encrypt managed to find a sustainable funding model for a combination of an open source project and free online service, as compared to the more normal pattern which sadly seems to involve running a small number of beneficent maintainers into the ground.
Since it’s launch in December 2015, Let’s Encrypt has steadily grown to become the largest CA in the Web PKI by certificates issued and the fourth largest known CA by Firefox Beta TLS full handshakes. As of January 21, 2019, the CA had issued a total of 538M certificates for 223M unique FQDNs… Let’s Encrypt has been responsible for significant growth in HTTPS deployment.
