    Abstract: The way developers design, build, and run software has changed significantly with the evolution of microservices and containers. These modern architectures use new primitives that require a different set of practices than most developers, tech leads, and architects are accustomed to. With this focused guide, Bilgin Ibryam and Roland Huß from Red Hat provide common reusable elements, patterns, principles, and practices for designing and implementing cloud-native applications on Kubernetes. Each pattern includes a description of the problem and a proposed solution with Kubernetes specifics. Many patterns are also backed by concrete code examples. This book is ideal for developers already familiar with basic Kubernetes concepts who want to learn common cloud-native patterns. You'll learn about the following pattern categories: Foundational patterns cover the core principles and practices for building container-based cloud-native applications. Behavioral patterns explore finer-grained concepts for managing various types of container and platform interactions. Structural patterns help you organize containers within a pod, the atom of the Kubernetes platform. Configuration patterns provide insight into how application configurations can be handled in Kubernetes. Advanced patterns cover more advanced topics such as extending the platform with operators.

    Abstract: The great cloud migration is picking up steam. Companies moving all or part of their IT workloads to the public cloud for backup, email hosting, productivity apps or all of the above will generate $44 billion in costs during 2018 alone. So, the question is not if but how enterprises plan to make the move. This ebook provides a practical seven-step migration plan to prepare your company for the journey. Author Steve Francis provides a prescriptive look at the best practices needed to ensure a successful transition. You'll also learn from several IT and business leaders about their recent cloud migration experiences, including pitfalls to avoid. This seven-step plan focuses on three major benefits of the cloud: operational agility, strategic focus, and cost savings: Identify desired outcomes before you get into migration specifics Classify candidates for the cloud, including applications or workloads best suited for the move Define deployment model criteria-IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, or a private cloud Devise an iterative, agile process for transformation among your teams Get buy-in to the plan from people at the top and in the trenches Start simply with a project that's relatively risk-free-one you're likely to learn from the most Rinse and repeat by applying lessons learned to the next workload or application

    Keywords: Entrepreneurship ; Business incubators ; Creative ability in business ; Technological innovations ; Management ; Electronic books ; local ; Electronic books
    Abstract: Utilize this comprehensive guide in your organization to create a corporate incubator that protects innovative ideas from oppressive corporate processes and culture and gives those ideas the resources and environment they need to grow and have the best possible chance to thrive. Innovation is hard. Ironically, innovation in a large enterprise can be even more difficult. Policies designed for mature businesses often crush emerging businesses along with the entrepreneurial spirit of the innovators. Procedures can make it difficult, even impossible, for innovative employees to get their ideas funded, or even seen. As a result, even companies with their roots in innovation can find themselves unable to innovate, with a devastating impact on employee morale and often resulting in the exodus of the most creative employees. In Lean Intrapreneurship the authors leverage decades of personal experience innovating in large enterprises to explore the root causes of failure to innovate in established organizations, and offer a solution to the innovator's dilemma. The book includes a recipe for creating a repeatable program for innovating in large organizations, including tools, tips, and strategies developed by the authors as they created an innovative incubation program for a multi-billion-dollar technology company. It also offers a wealth of information to help aspiring intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life. What You'll Learn Discover the most common reasons that innovation fails in established organizations Explore techniques to make innovative ideas a success Follow a recipe to create a program to enable innovation across your company Understand the power of transparency inside and outside an incubator Develop employees and foster a culture of innovation across your company Who This Book Is For Anyone with an innovative idea who wants to make it real but does not know where to begin; anyone struggling to innovate inside an established company; anyone who wishes to make their existing company more lean, agile, and efficient; anyone who wishes to start a program to incubate new, innovative ideas inside an established company

    Keywords: Cloud computing ; Computer architecture ; Information technology ; Management ; Electronic books ; Electronic books ; local
    Abstract: Why are so many companies embracing cloud native development? Getting new features into the hands of demanding customers requires a faster and more efficient approach than traditional development methods. The most successful organizations today use cloud native to develop innovative software products and services with speed and scalability not possible with the static waterfall development method. In this ebook, Bill Laberis explores cloud native by defining various interrelated elements of this approach. By learning terms such as DevOps, microservices, and continuous delivery, you'll understand why cloud native is much more about how applications are built and deployed than where. This ebook includes case studies of how the Financial Times, Volkswagen, ASOS, and DISH adopted cloud native. You'll examine cloud native practices and components such as: DevOps: Practices for removing barriers between development and operations Continuous delivery, continuous upgrades, and automated scalability: Practices vital to DevOps success Containers, including Docker: A method for bundling software and its dependencies into one package Kubernetes: A tool for deploying, scaling, and managing containerized applications Orchestration: Automated configuration, coordination, and management of cloud systems, resources, and software Microservices: Architecture for building applications as a collection of services or protocols

    Abstract: Despite deploying the latest security technologies, organizations still struggle to defend cloud-based web applications against sophisticated cyberattacks. Many companies have turned to the popular defense-in-depth (DiD) technique, but this multilayered approach has its shortcomings. So where is the industry headed next? This insightful ebook demonstrates a new approach to DiD that enables current security tools to operate in concert rather than independently. Stephen Gates, edge security evangelist and SME at Oracle Dyn, shows you how companies can establish integrated lines of defense similar to the way in which modern militaries operate on the battlefield. By the end of this book, CSOs, CISOs, security managers, and other professionals will understand how to implement the recommendations in this book today using the security technologies they already have in place. With this ebook, you'll examine: Why today's security technologies alone aren't enough to protect web applications How the existing approach to DiD for cybersecurity falls short of its goals An example of how the modern military uses integrated lines of defense that work in concert Eight lines of defense-including edge routers, DDoS defenses, and WAFs-that are best for protecting cloud-based web applications Ways to use automation and supervised machine learning to integrate your security approaches

    Pages: 1 online resource (1 volume)
    Keywords: Business enterprises ; Industrial management ; Electronic books ; Electronic books ; local
    Abstract: Today's successful businesses are increasingly digital and technologically astute, but how do they attract and manage employees in a world where two billion people work part-time? How do they develop a workforce when automation is advancing? And how do they serve customers and attract and retain employees when competition for both is high and trust is at an all-time low? In this O'Reilly Radar report, Josh Bersin, Tim O'Reilly, Roger Magoulas, and Mike Loukides address what business leaders, tech leaders, and decision makers can expect, how they can prepare, and what they should learn to shape the future of the business. These lessons affect much more than the bottom line. This report covers big-picture trends we expect to impact the future success of all firms, including: Trust in business is changing: customers seek firms whose values reflect their own. Employees want satisfaction and meaning, not just money and security. The shift to AI and machine learning is changing almost every job. Companies are becoming networked marketplaces that build on core competencies while outsourcing the rest. Many firms offer compensation beyond pay, including alternate work relationships, flexible workplaces, and training opportunities. Embracing diversity requires solving compensation problems, creating a safe workplace, and valuing an employee's opinions.

    Pages: 1 online resource (1 volume)
    Keywords: Database management ; Electronic data processing ; Management ; Information technology ; Management ; Electronic books ; Electronic books ; local
    Abstract: Every decade since the 1960s, researchers at companies like IBM, Amazon, and many others have introduced major new frameworks and techniques to handle rising data management problems. This concise ebook explains how these new systems helped data science evolve quickly-from hierarchical and relational databases to big data and cloud computing to streaming and graph data. Computer scientist Paco Nathan shows members of your data science team how major companies created each of these data management systems not just to deal with new data types but also to take full advantage of the opportunities the data presented. Their efforts over the years have propelled an entire industry. This report covers the historical progression of data management topics including: Hierarchical databases -1960s mainframe batch systems are still used in finance, healthcare, manufacturing, energy, and other industries. Relational databases -these enabled faster transactions, mathematical optimization, and budgeting guarantees for many businesses. Big data -this includes relatively cheap horizontal scale-out systems for collecting huge amounts of customer data. Cloud computing -large companies began managing reliable, scalable, cost-effective data centers; Amazon turned the concept into a business. Cluster schedulers -managing horizontal clusters was difficult before schedulers such as Apache Mesos appeared. Streaming data -data continuously generated by different sources requires responses in "real time"-generally milliseconds.

    Abstract: Leverage your Arduino skills in the Raspberry Pi world and see how to cross the two platforms into sophisticated programs. The Arduino and Raspberry Pi communities overlap more than you might think. Arduinos can be expanded to have network capabilities with a variety of "shields," all of which increase the cost and complexity of the system. By contrast, Raspberry Pis all run Linux, which is a very network-competent platform. The newest Pi, the Raspberry Pi Zero W, is WiFi and Bluetooth capable, and costs around $10 U.S. For network enabled gadgets, it makes far more sense to cross to the Raspberry PI platform, if only someone would make it easy to do. That's what this book is about. You'll learn some survival level Linux system administration, so you know how to set the machine up and how to establish at least minimal security for your gadget. You''ll set up and learn the Geany IDE on your Pi, which is fairly similar to the Arduino IDE. Where the two platforms overlap the most is the GPIO system. You'll see that several projects use and explain the WiringPi system. This is is deliberately similar to the Arduino's 'Wiring' functionality, which is how sketches interact with GPIO pins. You'll learn the differences between the GPIO pins of the two devices, and how the Pi has some limitations on those pins that the Arduino does not. As a final project, in an effort to escape some of those limitations, you'll attach an AtMEGA 328P to the Raspberry Pi and configure it as a real, 8MHz Arduino with the Arduino IDE running on the Pi, and learn how to have the two platforms communicate, giving you the best of both worlds. What You'll Learn Establish security with Linux system administration Set up the Apache webserver Write CGI programs so other computers can connect to your Pi and pull data in from it. Use C/C++ from Arduino sketches to write programs for the Pi Who This Book Is For The Arduino user who's been through all the tutorials and is comfortable writing sketches and connecting hardware to their Arduino.

This book presents the opportunities in the homespace that will come from understanding the history and multiple players that have contributed to the development of the home in general. You'll start by breaking down the historical, societal and political context for the changes in focus of that 'smartness' from affordability, efficiency, convenience to recently experimentation. The second half of the book then reviews what current developments tell us about what our homes will look like in the next 10 years through the lens of spaces, services, appliances and behaviours in our homes. Over the past 100 years, the home has been a battleground for ideas of future living. Fueled by the electrification of cities, the move from the country to cities, post-war recovery and the development of the internet, the way we live at home (alone or with others) has changed beyond recognition. Science fiction writing, the entertainment industry, art, and modern interior design and architecture movements have also contributed to defining our aspirations around a future and now more present and possible 'smart' home. Smarter Homes looks at the many new and innovative products that are being developed in the consumer and industrial spaces with a copy-paste mindset based on following larger businesses, such as Amazon, Google and Apple.

    Abstract: Develop and use bots in video gaming to automate game processes and see possible ways to avoid this kind of automation. This book explains how bots can be very helpful in games such as multiplayer online games, both for training your character and for automating repetitious game processes in order to start a competition with human opponents much faster. Some players might use bots for cheating or avoiding game rules to gain an advantage over opponents - a sophisticated form of hacking that includes some elements of artificial intelligence (AI). However, while Practical Video Game Bots considers these topics, it is not a cheater's guide. Rather, this book is an attempt to overcome the information vacuum regarding bot development in video game applications. Through the use of three case study game examples, it covers most methods and technologies that are used by bot developers, and the details of anti-cheating systems. This book provides answers and useful advice for topics such as process automation, reverse engineering, and network applications. Modern bot applications use technologies from all these domains. You will also consider the work mechanisms of different kinds of bots and will write simple prototypes. What You Will Learn Discover bots and apply them to game applications Use clicker bots with OS-level embedding data, output-device capture, and more Develop in-game bots, with process memory analysis and access Work with out-game bots, with network interception and embedding data Deal with input device emulation and OS-level interception data Who This Book Is For Those with some prior experience in game development and coding experience in Python, C++, and Windows APIs.

    Abstract: Learn the basics of reactive programming and how it makes apps more responsive. This book shows you how to incorporate reactive programming into existing development products and cycles using RXSwift and RXCocoa on iOS and Mac. As we move away from the traditional paradigm of typing or touching one step at a time to interact with programs, users expect apps to adapt and not need constant hand-holding. People today expect their devices to do much more than just follow commands. They expect devices to react and adapt. Reactive programming, a new term for asynchronous processing, requires new app architectures, and you'll learn how these are already built into iOS and macOS in many places. As part of this more complex environment, you'll move beyond Cocoa and Cocoa Touch to incorporate data from Amazon Web Services (AWS), JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), and other formats, and standards. Together with the concepts of reactive programming and RxSwift, these tools help you build more powerful and useful apps that have wide appeal and use. What You'll Learn Work with tools such as Darwin microkernel, RxSwift, and RxCocoa Use Git repositiories and other resoucrces to get into coding Create apps that adapt to gestures and UI interaction as well as what's happening in and around the environment of the app itself. Who This Book Is For This book is for Swift programmers interested in learning to create reactive apps with RxSwift.

    Keywords: Processing (Computer program language) ; Computer programming ; Programming languages (Electronic computers) ; Electronic books ; local ; Electronic books
    Abstract: Understand the importance of programming, even if you've never programmed before! This book will teach you the basics of programming using the Processing programming language. You will create your own Processing sketches, using personal images, themes, or hobbies that you enjoy. The chapters in the book will demonstrate the process of programming, starting with formulating an idea, planning, building on past projects, and refining the work, similar to writing an essay or composing a song. This approach will guide you to make use of logic and mathematics to produce beautiful effects. The term for program in Processing is sketch , though the sketches featured in this book are far more than static drawings; they incorporate interaction, animation, video, audio, and accessing files on the local computer and on the Web. Technical features are introduced and explained in the context of complete examples: games (Snake, Hangman, jigsaw, slingshot), making a collage of family images and video clips, preparing directions for folding an origami model, rotating objects in 3D, and others. Programming is a fun, creative, expressive pursuit. It requires attention to details and can be frustrating, but there is very little that compares to the satisfaction of building a program out of nothing and making it work (or taking an existing program and fixing a problem, or adding a feature and making it better). Programming 101 is your gateway to making this happen. What You Will Learn Gain basic programming skills Build fun and creative programs Use files for making a holiday card Combine videos, images, and graphics in a Processing sketch Who This Book Is For Anyone who has been thinking about trying programming, or has tried, but needs more motivation; anyone who wants to learn about the Processing language.

    Business case analysis with R : simulation tutorials to support complex business decisions (2018)
    [Place of publication not identified] : Apress
    Details
    ISBN: 9781484234952
    Language: English
    Pages: 1 online resource (1 volume) , illustrations
    Keywords: R (Computer program language) ; Decision making ; Data processing ; Electronic books ; local ; Electronic books
    Abstract: This tutorial teaches you how to use the statistical programming language R to develop a business case simulation and analysis. It presents a methodology for conducting business case analysis that minimizes decision delay by focusing stakeholders on what matters most and suggests pathways for minimizing the risk in strategic and capital allocation decisions. Business case analysis, often conducted in spreadsheets, exposes decision makers to additional risks that arise just from the use of the spreadsheet environment. R has become one of the most widely used tools for reproducible quantitative analysis, and analysts fluent in this language are in high demand. The R language, traditionally used for statistical analysis, provides a more explicit, flexible, and extensible environment than spreadsheets for conducting business case analysis. The main tutorial follows the case in which a chemical manufacturing company considers constructing a chemical reactor and production facility to bring a new compound to market. There are numerous uncertainties and risks involved, including the possibility that a competitor brings a similar product online. The company must determine the value of making the decision to move forward and where they might prioritize their attention to make a more informed and robust decision. While the example used is a chemical company, the analysis structure it presents can be applied to just about any business decision, from IT projects to new product development to commercial real estate. The supporting tutorials include the perspective of the founder of a professional service firm who wants to grow his business and a member of a strategic planning group in a biomedical device company who wants to know how much to budget in order to refine the quality of information about critical uncertainties that might affect the value of a chosen product development pathway. What You'll Learn Set up a business case abstraction in an influence diagram to communicate the essence of the problem to other stakeholders Model the inherent uncertainties in the problem with Monte Carlo simulation using the R language Communicate the results graphically Draw appropriate insights from the results Develop creative decision strategies for thorough opportunity cost analysis Calculate the value of information on critical uncertainties between competing decision strategies to set the budget for deeper data analysis Construct appropriate information to sati...

    Keywords: New business enterprises ; Entrepreneurship ; Electronic books ; local ; Electronic books
    Abstract: This book offers a comprehensive model for explaining the success and failure of cities in nurturing startups, presents detailed case studies of how participants in that model help or hinder startup activity, and shows how to apply these lessons to boost local startup activity. Startup Cities explains the factors that determine local startup success based on a detailed comparison of regional startup cities-pairing the most successful and less successful cities within regions along with insights and implications from case studies of each of the model's elements. The book compares local city pairs, highlighting factors that distinguish successful from less successful cities and presents implications for stakeholders that arise from these principles. Peter Cohan is a lecturer of Strategy at Babson College and one of the world's leading authorities on regional startup ecosystems. Starting in 2012, he created and led Startup Strategy courses that explore four regional startup ecosystems-Hong Kong/Singapore, Israel, Paris, and Spain/Portugal. These courses are based on an original framework for evaluating why a few cities host most startup creation and the rest fail to do so. In running these courses, Peter has built a network of local policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs, and professors from which he draws practical insights for what distinguishes successful Startup Commons from their peers. The book provides vital benefits to these stakeholders. What You'll Learn Local policymakers will know how to build a local team to set objectives for their local Startup Commons and develop a comprehensive strategy to realize those goals Entrepreneurs will know how to choose where to locate their startups based on factors such as the supply and quality of talent-from chief marketing and technology officers to coders and sales people; quality of life, access to capital, customers, and mentors; and costs such as salary and real estate expense University administrators and faculty will know how to take research out of their labs and house it in companies that can commercialize that research, create academic programs that will encourage more entrepreneurship among their students, and connect with local policymakers and capital providers to spur local startup activity Capital providers will know how to scout out emerging startup cities where they can get access to the best investment opportunities at more favorable valuations and have greater influence on ho...

    Abstract: Build an effective vulnerability management strategy to protect your organization's assets, applications, and data. Today's network environments are dynamic, requiring multiple defenses to mitigate vulnerabilities and stop data breaches. In the modern enterprise, everything connected to the network is a target. Attack surfaces are rapidly expanding to include not only traditional servers and desktops, but also routers, printers, cameras, and other IOT devices. It doesn't matter whether an organization uses LAN, WAN, wireless, or even a modern PAN-savvy criminals have more potential entry points than ever before. To stay ahead of these threats, IT and security leaders must be aware of exposures and understand their potential impact. Asset Attack Vectors will help you build a vulnerability management program designed to work in the modern threat environment. Drawing on years of combined experience, the authors detail the latest techniques for threat analysis, risk measurement, and regulatory reporting. They also outline practical service level agreements (SLAs) for vulnerability management and patch management. Vulnerability management needs to be more than a compliance check box; it should be the foundation of your organization's cybersecurity strategy. Read Asset Attack Vectors to get ahead of threats and protect your organization with an effective asset protection strategy. What You'll Learn Create comprehensive assessment and risk identification policies and procedures Implement a complete vulnerability management workflow in nine easy steps Understand the implications of active, dormant, and carrier vulnerability states Develop, deploy, and maintain custom and commercial vulnerability management programs Discover the best strategies for vulnerability remediation, mitigation, and removal Automate credentialed scans that leverage least-privilege access principles Read real-world case studies that share successful strategies and reveal potential pitfalls Who This Book Is For New and intermediate security management professionals, auditors, and information technology staff looking to build an effective vulnerability management program and defend against asset based cyberattacks
