Feed: Neo4j Graph Database Platform. Author: Jocelyn Hoppa. Neo4j is perfect for storing and processing large amounts of connected data. For example, in web analytics, where click-paths and custom events get logged, it is easy to get that data into Neo4j. Once the data is in the graph database, complex queries may be executed that help both site administrators and site owners get a good understanding of how their users and visitors use the website or ecommerce store. Sure, the results are used to improve the predictions of recommendation engines. Gut with that knowledge, shop architects can also then optimize ... Read More

Feed: What's New. You can now specify three new docker flags as parameters in your Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) Task definition. These flags are sysctl (system controls), interactive, and tty (Pseudo terminal). You can also specify interactive and tty flags as parameters in your AWS Fargate Task definitions.The sysctl parameter allows you to have fine grained control on your application's namespaced kernel parameters. Therefore, you can optimize the kernel's behavior to your application's needs without having to configure those parameters at the host-level or worry about impacting other applications.The interactive and tty parameters, allow you to deploy containerized applications ...

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Dave Provenza. How to build the right data strategy for your cloud native applications Many organizations are making the move to cloud-native platforms as part of their strategy for digital transformation. This allows them to deliver faster, user-friendly applications with greater agility. However, the architecture of the data behind a cloud-native transformation is often ignored, mostly because very few definitive guidelines or patterns exist today. Given that data is the information currency of every organization, how do you avoid common data mistakes and gain valuable insight from your data? We recently discussed these topics during a ...

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Pui Chee Chan. Last year at Jenkins World, we announced Jenkins on Azure support for Kubernetes. We shipped the Azure Container Agent which allows you to scale out to Azure and run a Jenkins Agent on Azure Container Instances (ACI) and/or Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Using the Kubernetes Continuous Deploy or Deploy to Azure Container Services (AKS) plugins, you can deploy containers to Kubernetes. Back in April, we published a blog post in Kubernetes.io sharing with the community how to achieve Blue/Green deployment to Azure Container Services (AKS). Some questions remained to be answered though: ... Read More

Feed: DivvyCloud. Author: David Mundy; An organization that has transitioned to a cloud provider such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, or any combination thereof should immediately be thinking about the configuration of cloud services as a key element to security. Many IT leaders and professionals make the mistake of approaching security in the cloud the same way they approached security in a traditional data center. However, in the software-defined world of public cloud, there is an added wrinkle.  Without a holistic approach to security which includes a view of configuration, you can easily open yourself up ...

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Tony Hirst. Over the last couple of days, I’ve been fettling the build scripts for the TM351 VM, which typically uses vagrant to build a VirtualBox VM from a set of shell scripts, so they can be used to build a single Docker container that runs all the TM351 services, specifically Jupyter notebooks, OpenRefine, PostgreSQL and MongoDB. Docker containers are typically constructed to a run a single service, with compositions of containers wired together using Docker Compose to create applications that deliver, or rely on, more than one running service. For example, in a previous post (Setting up ... Read More
