Of course, we should create new containers. But, how many containers should we have at the same time? How many servers should be involved? Who will monitor all nodes to balance loading and redirect queries to less loaded nodes? Also, how can we update our app without stopping? The answer is Kubernetes. What is Kubernetes? Kubernetes is an open-source container-orchestration system for automating application deployment, scaling, and management. It ... Read More

Feed: AWS Government, Education, & Nonprofits Blog. Author: Professor Rainer Schmidt. Social information systems – how we share information – use both public systems such as social media and private systems internal to organizations such as internal blogs and wikis. These systems increasingly influence opinion-forming processes in societies and organizations, and supplement and sometimes replace traditional media such as newspapers, radio, and TV. The strength of social information systems lies in their ability to present previously unestablished opinions and viewpoints as fact, and can be used to disseminate false information, leading to polarization. The Munich University of Applied Science (MUAS) ... Read More

And yet, many institutions have not started on their digital journey because they lack a workforce with the advanced skills they need to drive transformational change. In recent months, I have had the opportunity to meet with a diverse collection ... Read More

Feed: Actian. Author: Jack Mardack. It feels like only yesterday that “Machine Learning” and “Artificial Intelligence” were equated with science fiction by most regular folks outside of tech. As a movie-going culture, we have a long history of associating these concepts with self-aware robots or rogue computer programs that could escape the laboratories where they were created and threaten all humanity. But in 2020, ML and AI have been considerably demystified. And yet, even if it seems less likely now that the Singularity will be triggered by the reckless ambition of some tech startup, consumers have new reasons to be concerned. Yes, ML and AI are going mainstream, and it’s not just disruption-minded startups that are leveraging these technologies. Enterprises in a wide range of established industries are finding solid business reasons ... Read More
