Amazon EKS, Azure Kubernetes, and Google Kubernetes Cloud Services Compared

Container Orchestration with KubernetesThe open-source project created by Google, and now shepherded by the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation), has won the war for container orchestration dominance. Kubernetes (pronounced koo-ber-NET-eez, from the Greek word for “helmsman” or “pilot”) is the most rapidly adopted open-source project in history since its release in mid-2014. According to 451 Research, it has already moved into more than 70 percent of organizations using the wildly popular software called containers, which Kubernetes manages. Containers make it simple to encapsulate applications in a form that’s easy to run on any computing environment in companies’ data centers or in public clouds. By some estimates, enterprise adoption rate of Kubernetes will reach 90 percent by next year.

But that doesn’t mean that all of the Kubernetes offerings are the same—or equal. In this article, we’ll break down the key components of managed Kubernetes, and explore how each of the three major cloud providers—Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes, Azure Kubernetes Service, and Google Kubernetes Engine—differs in its support of the platform.

Facebook Sues New Zealand Firm For Selling Fake Likes On Instagram

F acebook has filed a lawsuit in the US against a New Zealand-based company and three individuals that it says have been selling 'fake likes' on Instagram. Through websites such as SocialEnvy.co, IGFamous.net and Likesocial.co, says Facebook, Social Media Series Limited and its directors made more than $9.4 million by selling fake engagement to Instagram users. The three directors of the company have been named locally as Arend Alexander Hubert Nollen, Leon Francis Hedges and David James Pekka Pasanen. Facebook says it sent cease-and-desist letters to two of the company's directors in July and December last year. "We previously suspended accounts associated with the defendants and formally warned them in writing that they were in violation of our Terms of Use, however their activity persisted," says Jessica Romero, Facebook's director of platform enforcement and litigation.

Laptops with Intel's 10nm Ice Lake Chips are Expected to Arrive In Stores For 2019 Holiday Shoppers

I ntel's consternation with its 10nm manufacturing process is well documented but on its Q1 earnings call yesterday, the Santa Clara chip giant painted a more positive picture on the ramp-up of its forthcoming Ice Lake processor for mobile client systems, dubbed Ice Lake-U. While many media outlets have been reporting that Intel's 10nm product wouldn't ship in meaningful volume this year, Intel CEO Bob Swan offered commentary that production output of Ice Lake has nearly doubled in the past few months. Swan noted specifically, “on the process technology front, our teams executed well in Q1 and our velocity is increasing. We remain on track to have volume client systems on shelves for the holiday selling season. And over the past 4 months, the organization drove a nearly 2X improvement in the rate at which 10nm products move through our factories.” Beyond this, I would offer that Intel is in the process of qualifying the product with major system OEMs here in Q2, with pr...

Facebook has much to cheer about. As has become increasingly clear, the public no longer seems to care about their digital privacy or security

T his week was both fantastic and terrible for Facebook. Its latest earnings report shows the company has become an unstoppable force whose user growth and profits are immune to its never-ending parade of privacy and security breaches. Even the FCC appears willing to back down from its confrontation with the company and slap it with a fine that amounts to just a tiny fraction of its quarterly profit, making even legal violations nothing more than the cost of doing business. At the same time, Facebook confronts newly emboldened regulators around the world all clamoring for their own chance to bring the world’s most powerful gatekeeper to heel. The only problem is that Facebook may already be unstoppable. Facebook has much to cheer about. As has become increasingly clear, the public no longer seems to care about their digital privacy or security. Despite breach after breach after breach after breach, users aren’t leaving and aren’t demanding any changes to the company’s business ...
