Why aren’t all images super-secure, or hardned?
Here’s what I learned: container base images grew up as a developer convenience tool, not a security artifact. Installing extra packages from the command line is one of the first things any Docker tutorial teaches–Docker’s own Dockerfile guide includes apt-get install–and many of the most popular official images ship a full toolchain by default, with…

Link: Microsoft has designed an Arm Linux IoT cloud chip. Repeat, an Arm Linux IoT cloud chip
An edge device in every home, office, street corner, etc. “The way it works is like this: Microsoft makes its system-on-chip (SoC) blueprints available to chip designers, which fabricate the chipset and flog it to IoT device makers. These manufacturers slap the silicon in their products, and run Microsoft’s Linux-based Sphere OS along with their…

Link: The Platform Matters More Than Ever, The Operating System Less So
“Windows Server 2019 is a case in point, and going through the highlights shows it. Back in the day, when a new Windows Server release came out, everyone was obsessed about its scalability and reliability and how it compared to alternatives such IBM i, a slew of Unix variants (including IBM’s own AIX), and the…

The decline of Novell
I’ve been reading up on Novell’s history. So far it’s got some fascinating twists and turns. Wikipedia sums up the turning point well: The inclusion of networking as a core system component in all mainstream PC operating systems after 1995 led to a steep decline in Novell’s market share. That is, once networking become “commoditized,”…

\”M.C. Escher’s cloud\”
Always love some funny writing, eh? Since Google’s (virtualized) cloud is itself built on top of Linux containerization, this means developers will enter into the paradoxical situation of running a container-based OS on a hypervisor on top of a container. “M.C. Escher’s cloud”
