The internet, which hums with information that connects, informs, and entertains us, is the vitality of the twenty-first century. However, a complicated web of protocols, akin to gears operating behind the curtain, lurks under the surface of the relatively simple click-and-stream experience. Although one of these protocols, the ancient TCP, has been a good fit for us for many years, its shortcomings are becoming more noticeable as our online needs grow. Presenting QUIC, a groundbreaking new protocol that aims to usher in a new age of speed and security for the internet.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) recently announced the end of life (EOL) for HPE OneView Global Dashboard (OVGD). This news might leave some users understandably concerned about managing their HPE infrastructure. But fear not, the path forward is clear, and this post will navigate you through it.
Kubernetes is the undisputed monarch of container orchestration in the dynamic world of cloud computing. And in this domain, Canonical Kubernetes rides to the rescue with a powerful trifecta of cost-effectiveness, adaptability, and security.
Whether you’re a novice or an experienced cloud fighter, this blog post will help you grasp the power of Canonical Kubernetes. We’ll examine its fundamental ideas, examine its special advantages, and provide you with the know-how to harness its potential for your cloud-native projects.
The open-source software defined storage (SDS) colossus, Ceph, has long been praised for its versatility, scalability, and strong feature set. But creating and maintaining a Ceph cluster, especially for small-scale deployments, may be a difficult undertaking best left to storage experts and experienced system administrators. Introducing MicroCeph, an opinionated and streamlined implementation of Ceph that seeks to enable everyone to use this potent storage solution.
Imagine being able to effortlessly manage a fully functional Ceph cluster with only a few finger snaps. That is MicroCeph’s magic. It uses Snaps, a safe and independent Linux packaging standard, to provide a pre-setup, pre-optimized Ceph experience. Forget about laborious orchestration, complicated daemons, and manual configuration; MicroCeph handles everything, from deployment to continuing management.
In the modern digital world, speed is everything. Instant gratification is what users want, and applications have to deal with heavy workloads and constant traffic. Oracle databases frequently take the brunt of this performance worry because they are the foundation of many important systems. Thankfully, Oracle Database has a powerful tool in its toolbox: True Cache, a cutting-edge in-memory caching solution that can optimize database performance and boost application performance.
The Kubeflow project is dedicated to making deployments of machine learning (ML) workflows on Kubernetes simple, portable and scalable.
Inside the dynamic realm of cloud computing, virtualization is king. And the essential component of network management is at the center of this virtualized world. Then along comes OVN (Open Virtual Network), a potent open-source program that streamlines and makes virtual network development and management easier.
Kubernetes has emerged as a transformational force in cloud-native computing, revolutionizing the way applications are written, deployed, and managed. OKD, the open-source upstream of Kubernetes, is at the heart of this change, enabling developers and organizations to take advantage of the potential of Kubernetes without vendor lock-in.
Block and file storage services are offered by the software-defined infrastructure (SDI) platform Dell EMC PowerFlex. It is made to be extremely scalable, versatile, and resilient, which makes it perfect for a variety of workloads such virtual machines, databases, containers, and big data applications.
A cluster of Windows Server nodes can use the software-defined storage (SDS) solution Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) to pool their local storage drives into a single, highly available storage pool. The creation and management of virtual discs (VDisks) with different sizes and performance characteristics may then be done using this storage pool. The Datacenter and Standard editions of Windows Server 2022, 2019 and 2016 come with Storage Spaces Direct (S2D).
Dell EMC ECS (Elastic Cloud Storage) is a modern software-defined object storage platform that provides organizations with an on-premises alternative to public cloud solutions.
Distributed firewalls, a modern firewall technology, aim to safeguard contemporary data centers and cloud environments. They distinguish themselves from traditional firewalls through various characteristics, such as: dynamic and scalable rule enforcement, which allows for more efficient management and adaptability in rapidly changing network environments. Additionally, distributed firewalls incorporate advanced threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to detect and mitigate emerging threats in real-time. They also offer enhanced visibility and control, providing administrators with granular insights into network traffic and the ability to enforce policies at a more granular level. Furthermore, distributed firewalls support seamless integration with cloud orchestration platforms, enabling automated and centralized security management across multi-cloud environments. Lastly, these firewalls provide high-performance and low-latency protection, ensuring that network traffic flows smoothly without compromising security. Benefits of Distributed Firewalls They offer a number of benefits over traditional firewalls, including: Use Cases for Distributed Firewalls Can be used in a variety of use cases, including: Samples of Use Cases Here are some specific examples of how distributed firewalls can be used in real-world environments: Here are some samples of distributed firewalls that can be used in infrastructure: These are just a few examples of this type of firewall that can be...
Event driven automation is a type of automation that is triggered by events. Events can be anything from a user clicking a button to a system generating an alert. When an event occurs, the automation platform takes a predefined action.
KubeVirt is a Kubernetes-native virtualization solution that allows users to run virtual machines (VMs) and containers side-by-side on the same platform. Kubernetes has become the standard for managing containerized applications in the ever-changing field of cloud computing and containerization. Containers have revolutionized the packaging, distribution, and deployment of applications, providing unmatched flexibility and scalability. However, certain tasks cannot be confined to containers alone, requiring the use of virtual machines (VMs). To address this, the KubeVirt project has been created to seamlessly integrate VMs with containers, allowing Kubernetes to effectively handle both technologies.
