Google: ‘EVERYTHING at Google Runs in a Container’

May 25, 2014 / / 0 Comments

Ad giant lifts curtain on how it uses virtualization’s successor TWO BILLION TIMES A WEEK Google is now running “everything” in its mammoth cloud on top of a potential open source successor to virtualization, paving the way for other companies to do the same. Should VMware be worried? Probably not, but the tech pioneered by Google is making inroads into a certain class of technically sophisticated companies. That tech is called Linux Containerization, and is the latest in a long line of innovations meant to make it easier to package up applications and sling them around data centers.

How to Get Security Updates for Windows XP Until April 2019

May 25, 2014 / / 0 Comments

Microsoft’s official support for the Windows XP operating system ended more than a month ago. While some companies and organizations are still receiving updates for the operating system, end users do not.

From Gmail to Fastmail

May 25, 2014 / / 0 Comments

Email is crucial to me, I can’t even remember the last day I didn’t check my inbox. It’s my preferred channel for communicating and interacting with other people “electronically”. Like many developers I also use emails to keep track of the activity of all the projects I contribute to.
