Here are five of my and their favorite articles from that update. - -## [Ansible 101 by Jeff Geerling: a YouTube streaming series][2] - -> After the incredible response I got from [making my Ansible books free for the rest of March][3] to help people learn new automation skills, I tried to think of some other things I could do to help developers who may be experiencing hardship during the coronavirus pandemic and market upheaval. - -**The impact**: Not everyone is a frontline worker in this crisis, but then not every problem it has created needs one. This is a great example of someone using their resources to help in a unique way. - -## [Open source security tools for cloud and container applications][4] - -> Open-source security tools play an important role in securing your container-based infrastructure. Tools such as Anchore can be used for strong governance capabilities, while on the other hand, Dagda can be used to perform static analysis of known vulnerabilities. Two other tools, OpenSCAP and Clair, also provide good capabilities for vulnerability scanning and compliance management. So, depending upon your business requirements and priorities, you can select the right tool to secure your container investments. - -**The impact**: Containers are Linux, and container security is open source as well. - -## [Cloud cover: Clearing up some misunderstandings about data centres][5] - -> The [carbon footprint of data][6] is becoming more and more of a concern, but there appears to be little economic interest in decreasing the amount of data flowing around the world to mitigate this. In that scenario, finding the most energy-efficient and carbon-neutral ways to run purpose-built data centres could be the only answer. - -**The impact**: I was talking to a colleague who manages a team of virtualization engineers about this very problem. He seemed optimistic about the amount of headway his team could make on improving the energy consumption of things like KVM at the kernel level; though at the moment customers aren't asking for it. I'd guess that if, for example, the price of carbon emissions were to go up for some reason, that situation would change pretty quickly. - -## [Business culture is key in OpenStack network requirements][7] - -> The main question is: What is your [culture][8]? Do you go to a vendor and say, 'Give me your design, tell me what to buy and how to support it'? Starting out, you evaluate systems. What are your options? -> -> If you have siloed folks that work on a particular model of equipment, then OpenStack is probably not for you. If you have people that function at a higher level with some fundamental understanding about the underlying architecture that makes things work, then OpenStack can be very useful for you, and you're much less restricted. - -**The impact:** Not every organization can adopt a given technology. Certainly not without a willingness to change at a fundamental level. - -_I hope you enjoyed this list and come back next week for more open source community, market, and industry trends._ - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -via: https://opensource.com/article/20/4/ansible-security-more-industry-trends - -作者：[Tim Hildred][a] -选题：[lujun9972][b] -译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) -校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) - -本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 - -[a]: https://opensource.com/users/thildred -[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 -[1]: https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/image-full-size/public/lead-images/data_metrics_analytics_desktop_laptop.png?itok=9QXd7AUr (Person standing in front of a giant computer screen with numbers, data) -[2]: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/ansible-101-jeff-geerling-youtube-streaming-series -[3]: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/you-can-get-my-devops-books-free-rest-month -[4]: http://techgenix.com/open-source-security-tools/ -[5]: https://www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/data-centres-seamus-dunne-interxion -[6]: https://www.siliconrepublic.com/machines/data-carbon-footprint -[7]: https://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/feature/Business-culture-is-key-in-OpenStack-network-requirements -[8]: https://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/corporate-culture diff --git a/sources/news/20200408 IBM taps new leaders for hybrid cloud battles ahead.md b/sources/news/20200408 IBM taps new leaders for hybrid cloud battles ahead.md deleted file mode 100644 index fbcb14b32d..0000000000 --- a/sources/news/20200408 IBM taps new leaders for hybrid cloud battles ahead.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,74 +0,0 @@ -[#]: collector: (lujun9972) -[#]: translator: ( ) -[#]: reviewer: ( ) -[#]: publisher: ( ) -[#]: url: ( ) -[#]: subject: (IBM taps new leaders for hybrid cloud battles ahead) -[#]: via: (https://www.networkworld.com/article/3536654/ibm-taps-new-leaders-for-hybrid-cloud-battles-ahead.html) -[#]: author: (Michael Cooney https://www.networkworld.com/author/Michael-Cooney/) - -IBM taps new leaders for hybrid cloud battles ahead -====== -IBM installs Arvind Krishna as CEO, and appoints Red Hat execs to round out new cloud-oriented team -Stephen Lawson/IDG - -Amid the business chaos COVID-19 is causing, IBM has set its course by [installing][1] Arvind Krishna as CEO and Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst as IBM president.  The company also named Red Hat veteran Paul Cormier as CEO of Red Hat. - -Krishna replaces long-time CEO Virginia Rometty, who will  retire at the end of the year, and the package of executive moves solidifies the team that will lead Big Blue into to [hybrid-cloud][2] world where it will battle Amazon, Google and Microsoft. - -[[Get regularly scheduled insights by signing up for Network World newsletters.]][3] - -Right now, though, that team must also compete in the face the COVID-19 pandemic, an issue [Krishna][4] mentioned in a [letter he posted on LinkedIn][5] on his first day on the job, April 6. - -“During this challenging time, we all need to have empathy, solidarity, and understanding for each other…If there’s one thing that this public health crisis has brought to light it is the ever essential role of IBM in the world. We are the backbone of some of the most critical systems of the world. Our technologies and services help banks run credit-card transactions, businesses run supply chains, telcos connect customers, healthcare providers improve patient care, and companies and cities tackle cyberthreats,” Krishna wrote. - -IBM has been part of the technology community that is helping address COVID-19.  For example, [IBM Research][6] has been developing cloud and AI-powered technologies that can help researchers battle against coronavirus, in part by accelerating COVID-19 drug discovery.  - -IBM is also leading the [COVID-19 High Performance Computing Consortium][7] with AWS, Google, HPE, and Microsoft as well as US National Labs, NASA, and others to bring [high-performance computing][8] systems together to help researchers run massive modeling calculations. - -While COVID-19 is a focus for now, the long term-goal is developing cloud technologies. - -[][9] - -“I believe we can make IBM the most trusted technology partner of the 21st century. For this to happen, we have to ensure that IBM continues to innovate and lead in the transformational journeys our clients are on. Hybrid cloud and AI are two dominant forces driving change for our clients and must have the maniacal focus of the entire company,” he stated. - -### Linux, Kubernetes and containers - -Krishna also wrote about IBM’s strategic cloud directions going forward. “First, we have to deepen our understanding of IBM’s two strategic battles: the journey to hybrid cloud and AI. We all need to understand and leverage IBM’s sources of competitive advantage. Namely, our open source and security leadership, our deep expertise and trust, and the fact that we enable clients to build mission-critical applications once and run them anywhere,” Krishna stated. - -IBM also has to win the battle for architecting the cloud. “There’s a unique window of opportunity for IBM and Red Hat to establish [Linux][10], containers and Kubernetes as the new standard. We can make Red Hat OpenShift the default choice for hybrid cloud in the same way that Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the default choice for the operating system,” Krishna stated. - -When IBM closed its [acquisition][11] of Red Hat last July for $34 billion it was clear it would take on the hybrid-cloud market and now, especially with the current executive team in place, that path is set more solidly. - -Krishna, 57, was a principal architect of IBM’s $34 billion acquisition of Red Hat last year and was IBM’s senior vice president of Cloud and Cognitive Software. Red Hat said Cormier drove more than 25 acquisitions at Red Hat and is credited with pioneering the subscription model that transformed Red Hat from an open-source disruptor to an enterprise-technology mainstay. - -Also as part of the new team, IBM said it tapped Bank of America telecom and cloud-technology executive Howard Boville as senior vice president of cloud platform, overseeing the IBM Cloud. - -Join the Network World communities on [Facebook][12] and [LinkedIn][13] to comment on topics that are top of mind. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -via: https://www.networkworld.com/article/3536654/ibm-taps-new-leaders-for-hybrid-cloud-battles-ahead.html - -作者：[Michael Cooney][a] -选题：[lujun9972][b] -译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) -校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) - -本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 - -[a]: https://www.networkworld.com/author/Michael-Cooney/ -[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 -[1]: https://www.networkworld.com/article/3518795/ibms-ceo-virginia-rometty-to-be-replaced-by-its-cloud-red-hat-chiefs.html -[2]: https://www.networkworld.com/article/3233132/what-is-hybrid-cloud-computing.html -[3]: https://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/signup.html -[4]: https://www.cnbc.com/video/2020/04/06/watch-cnbcs-full-interview-with-new-ibm-ceo-arvind-krishna.html?linkId=85936703 -[5]: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/my-first-day-ceo-our-journey-together-arvind-krishna/?trackingId=SRWcJy7mSzagoHDTJX%2Br2Q%3D%3D -[6]: https://www.ibm.com/thought-leadership/covid19/ -[7]: https://www.networkworld.com/article/3533426/covid-19-tech-giants-government-agencies-add-supercomputing-to-the-fight.html -[8]: https://www.networkworld.com/article/3534725/the-ins-and-outs-of-high-performance-computing-as-a-service.html -[9]: https://www.networkworld.com/blog/itaas-and-the-corporate-storage-technology/?utm_source=IDG&utm_medium=promotions&utm_campaign=HPE22140&utm_content=sidebar (ITAAS and Corporate Storage Strategy) -[10]: https://www.networkworld.com/article/3215226/what-is-linux-uses-featres-products-operating-systems.html -[11]: https://www.networkworld.com/article/3317517/the-ibm-red-hat-deal-what-it-means-for-enterprises.html -[12]: https://www.facebook.com/NetworkWorld/ -[13]: https://www.linkedin.com/company/network-world diff --git a/sources/news/20200411 New Linux integrity checker from Microsoft, Raspberry Pi-smart TV replacement from KDE, and more open source news.md b/sources/news/20200411 New Linux integrity checker from Microsoft, Raspberry Pi-smart TV replacement from KDE, and more open source news.md deleted file mode 100644 index bdff5b8ce2..0000000000 --- a/sources/news/20200411 New Linux integrity checker from Microsoft, Raspberry Pi-smart TV replacement from KDE, and more open source news.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,73 +0,0 @@ -[#]: collector: (lujun9972) -[#]: translator: ( ) -[#]: reviewer: ( ) -[#]: publisher: ( ) -[#]: url: ( ) -[#]: subject: (New Linux integrity checker from Microsoft, Raspberry Pi smart TV replacement from KDE, and more open source news) -[#]: via: (https://opensource.com/article/20/4/news-april-11) -[#]: author: (Ben Cotton https://opensource.com/users/bcotton) - -New Linux integrity checker from Microsoft, Raspberry Pi smart TV replacement from KDE, and more open source news -====== -Catch up on the biggest open source headlines from the past two weeks. -![][1] - -In this edition of our open source news roundup, we take a look at GNOME Foundation's new contributor program, a new Linux integrity checker from Microsoft, a free software alternative to smart TVs, and more! - -### GNOME Foundation launches a new contributor program - -A key part of keeping open source communities vibrant and healthy is bringing in new contributors.

It is gaining popularity as a decentralized alternative to YouTube but LBRY is more than just a video sharing service.**_ - -### LBRY is an open source blockchain based platform for content sharing - -At the core of it, [LBRY][1] is a new protocol which is a peer to peer, decentralized file sharing and payment network secured by [blockchain][2] technology. Anyone can build apps on top of LBRY protocol that interact with digital content on the LBRY network.

LBRY is trying to encourage and reward creators who publish on LBRY first instead of YouTube. - -LBRY is in early stages but its team is working hard to become a viable alternative to YouTube. It has an open road map where they have shared an insight into all their future plans. You may [check it out yourself][13]. - -By the way, LBRY is not the only platform of this kind. [PeerTube][14] is a similar service that provides a peer to peer video sharing platform. - -_**If you are someone who doesn’t like tech giants like Google, Microsoft, Huawei ‘spying’ on your data, keeping a profile of you to serve you targeted ads, you may try platforms like PeerTube and LBRY.**_ - -What do you think of LBRY? Are you already using something like LBRY or PeerTube? If not, are you willing to give it a try? What’s your overall feeling about P2P platforms like LBRY?
