Welil, if we're going to get into labeling new implementations as old wine in new bottles, let's give credit where credit is due: virtual containers, to my knowledge, first appeared commercially on IBM mainframes. However,...

I'd be curious to know what the law says about the public display of license plates. Because if the police can keep a database of license plates, private entities can too. They may not have the backend that identifies the...

Perhaps "continuous delivery" should be called "continuous employment."

Hmm... Last I heard cloud providers were estimating a loss of what, around $13 billion in revenues due to Prism. And what is Prism again? A Built-In back door to EVERY cloud provider? So lets talk about security for a second....
In reply to: Distrust of Cloud Wanes??? Where on earth did you get that?
That's right. Dockers are a subset of true VMs. This makes them attractive for quick deploy esp. for developers with straightforward cloud apps, but they're not suitable for all VM use cases.

A lot of people didn't understand the challenge that Digital Ocean was going to pose. It was combination of SSDs as standard and the built in following of Ruby developers that first caught my eye. But I don't entirelyh agree...

It's an interesting space, add a little devops magic to a 15 year old technology and voilà, you've got instant street cred. But the realities are a bit more complicated. Among the driving factors for the use of containization...

I remember first writing about telehealth about 20 years ago or so. Of course, the technologies were much more limited and expensive, but two of the biggest hurdles were legislative and insurance. It appears insurers are...
In reply to: Telehealth: It's come a long way
In two words, "easy" and "accessible." As in, my teenager with an Andorid device can download an app and client and be cooking in a half hour or so. It's RDP for the masses. That's what's new. As for ads, well, as you...

@Alison_Diana. I do not think it is just about Google, but they are a conduit for free speech, as are the other social medias outlets. The US is a relatively young country and got to learn from many of the mistakes...

Lorna, I think it would have to be another server operating system, one with a big presence in the data center compared to Linux. That would be Windows. Microsoft may be compelled to consider containers, due to the advantage...
In reply to: Re: Only RHEL?
Charlie, Do you expect other network OSes to also support containers?
In reply to: Only RHEL?
And if that fails, we'll throw some massive new government regulations and printed money at it.

Is your organization using remote consultations with telehealth technologies? Have they been effective at lowering costs -- ideally without compromising quality?
In reply to: Using telehealth to lower costs?
Gregory396, Containers as Red Hat is using the term are specific to Unix systems and in its case, of course, Linux. I'm not sure what Citrix is doing in a similar vein with XenApp. I'd be cautious about saying hypervisor...

Airline pilots and the FAA will love it? Much more sci-fi than driverless cars.
In reply to: Flying windmills
CumuloNimbus, I guess the short answer is, yes, there's a lot new here. I don't blame you for a little skepticism and containers are an old idea. But Red Hat, in connection with Docker, is implementing them in a way that's...

Reducing the number of servers is starting to be critical due to power and heat issues. A lighter footprint on a server means a reduction in how many servers are needed.

Building a Mobile Business Mindset
The differences between mobile apps and conventional Windows clients, or even web applications, are far more than skin deep. Yes, the touch-versus-keyboard interface, APIs, and programming languages are new, but that’s arguably the easy part. There are profound differences in how the two are built, the functionality each prioritizes, the release cycles on which they’re developed — even the attitudes, values, and work styles of the developers creating them.
