The Pentagon is reconsidering how to make a massive shift to cloud computing, officials said Monday, suggesting it could scrap the so-called JEDI contract potentially worth $10 billion that was awarded to Microsoft Corp. but is mired in legal challenges. "So for all of those reasons, moving to a cloud architecture is going to be vital to how we innovate in this department and we're going to have to assess where we are with regard to the ongoing litigation around JEDI and determine what the best path forward is for the department," Hicks said April 30.
Microsoft Research's Project Freta aims to find invisible malware running on the cloud. Attackers have invested in smarter malware that can get around traditional security tooling, hiding underneath the operating system in memory, masking tell-tale signatures, and even deleting itself as soon as it detects security systems in action.
Red Hat OpenShift API Management, Red Hat OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka and Red Hat OpenShift Data Science are designed to deliver a fully-managed and streamlined user experience as organizations build, deploy, manage and scale cloud-native applications across hybrid environments. Red Hat OpenShift API Management offers full application programming interface lifecycle management to Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated and Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS. Combining managed operations with native OpenShift integration enables organizations to focus on innovation and development in building, managing and scaling API-first, microservices-based applications instead of infrastructure.
Unlike the traditional layered security approaches that place barriers between data and bad actors or standalone encryption for storage or communication, the confidential cloud delivers strong data protection that is inseparable from the data itself. Implementing a confidential cloud eliminates the potential for cloud insiders to have exposure to data, closing the data attack surface that is otherwise left exposed at the cloud provider.
Continued adoption of cloud computing could prevent the emission of more than 1 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide from 2021 through 2024, a forecast from IDC shows. The forecast uses data on server distribution and cloud and on-premises software use along with third-party information on datacenter power usage, CO2 emissions per kilowatt-hour, and emission comparisons of cloud and non-cloud datacenters.
OpenNebula 5.12 "Firework" is the seventh update release of the OpenNebula 5 series and takes a monumental leap in providing the lightest comprehensive open source management platform to build private, hybrid and edge clouds.
