Those who are concerned with their application code are often not all that concerned with the platform it's running in. They just want to run their code. Containers mixes the concerns. We now ask those concerned with application code t

I just used Heroku as an example to show the architecture. FWIW, it looks like Heroku is using Kubernetes these days. It's a platform built on a platform. If you want open platforms we can talk about cloud foundry. If a base image or b

I think it was Kelsey Hightower who said that Kubernetes is a platform for building platforms. Unfortunately, we've gotten very caught up with the boring infra parts (the containers and the orchestration of k8s). We too often forget ab

This issue isn't a case of what is technologically feasible. This is about what's profitable and within legal policies of a country they are operating in. Where data is stored is sometimes an issue of jurisdiction policy (laws). T

Just knowing why people believe the things doesn't stop people from believing lies or the damage it can do to them and those around them.

Child porn is. In this case the issue is one dealing with children. To understand this case we need to keep it in context.

If FB is unaware of the illegal sedition they have plausible deniability. In this case, MasterCard no longer has plausible deniability. This increases their liability. Imagine someone at a liquor store sells beer to someone. Then, they lear

If one is unaware of a customer performing illegal activities it's one thing. That may even be a legal defense that works. But, if you are aware of a customer using your service to perform illegal activities you can't claim plausi

There is a subtle element here... US lawmakers have control over what is legal and illegal. US VISA won't process activities that are illegal in the particular country. It's not that religious conservatives have power over the cre

Sexual assault of children is illegal. Sedition is only illegal in rare circumstances. In the US anyway.

There certainly is age discrimination out there. One of the reasons we see fewer older developers is that software development wasn't a major career in the 80's and even early 90's. Nothing like it is today in terms of number

It's worth noticing some subtly in this. Those companies tend to be OK with the GPLv2 but not the GPLv3. A question to ask and that'll help understand all of this is... why do big corp lawyers not like GPLv3 when they were fine wi

Docker did a nice blog post on this a few years ago. Docker uses containerd for running containers. It just does things on top of it that you don't need with Kubernetes. There's a nice diagram in the post, too. https://

For a runtime in your Kubernetes cluster there are containerd and cri-o. These are good for Docker / Open Container Initiative images. There are others... some for non-Docker image support. There are people running other things than ju

There are ways to combat that. For example, some clear processes and documentation. This will help many other issues in organizations as well. Someone can have security as part of their KPI. That will put a focus on it.

Security isn't a binary state. It's more layered like an onion. There are a lot of layers that even a small startup can do... that many don't.
