This is usually synonymous with “devops” transformations as part of huge personnel problems (read: no young people want to join / stay) in most large, old companies that are facing a form of a late-life crisis that was plainly visible

AWS has Config rules and Macie to help avoid these kinds of data breaches so basically the few excuses left for these now literally come down to variations of laziness or lack of willingness to fund usage of these services (that are really

ITIL is not really known outside of specifically IT at large, bureaucratic companies that look at operations as a cost center (even in tech companies, there’s some basic internal humdrum IT after all) and it’s probably where I’ve had my low

The C5 instance only went GA a couple weeks ago, it takes a lot of lead time to get results like this up and there’s been a few slight snags users have reported with the C5 instances that may impact getting fair benchmarks written.

In some respect these offerings are a lot closer to the technical side of what companies like Clearleap and Ooyala offer companies. The language and offering types match a lot more to what traditional, non-Internet content providers want mi

Buying music is primarily supporting the distribution network that supports the artist, which has its pros and cons. I normally go to live shows and buy shirts or merchandise to support an artist because the margins on shirts, for example,

It sucks by design compared to current markets and our job functional areas. Back in the 70s it was absolutely awesome pay in a region that wasn’t terribly expensive, but when the top n% of intelligence community engineers could easily go t

From an operations standpoint while I'd certainly like to see more logging in code branches that aren't seen often or expected by the developers (I am all too familiar with patching code that a developer wrote without knowing how

One thing I learned from my experience in security is that sometimes instantly responding to a threat may be counterproductive because you may be reacting to a form of a honeypot - it is used to determine whether their newest iteration woul

To elaborate more, automatic discounts are really a big deal even at scale because it’s somewhat similar to AWS pricing schemes for reserved instances except it doesn’t require you to reprovision anything at all. For a lot of companies with

I look at SOAP failures from a different perspective of ground truths rather than the ecosystem's potential. In my experiences with SOAP and WSDLs, the code-generated java2wsdl and such wrappers were a way for many vendors to claim &qu

Last I remember newer versions of mtr include MPLS labels in their output to help avoid this confusion, but that version wasn’t included in CentOS 6 perhaps even from EPEL.

I’ve wondered why we don’t typically use algorithms that will self-adjust when we have so many VMs that can do all sorts of statistical analysis. We know that quicksort is inefficient on smaller and mostly-sorted lists so we oftentimes swit

The point of smaller images to me isn't about disk savings as much as minimizing dependencies and surface area of attacks such as for glibc, bash, and OpenSSL in the past several years. Updating container images quickly is absolutely e

One of the problems I've heard with Mesos is that it would require your application code to need to use its constructs - this may not be true or inaccurate now. For a K8s pod, you create a container and it doesn't need to be rewri
