Practical approaches to Cloud-Native Security

Image
Technology and its very omnipresence have brought around a lot of changes in our lives which makes it exemplary and revolutionary. Even the smallest of things can now be better transpired with the help of technology. Volumes of information flow on the internet every day which makes our modus operandi easier but going there we also have various level of security threats to this information that are broadcasted on some or the other level in multiple platforms. This information runs the threat of getting construed in a negative manner which may bring in bad experiences and consequences. Eavesdropping from suspected cybercriminals can cause havoc in your life, and better infrastructure should be put in place to tackle this. There have been some security patches in place for the various architectures that are being deployed nowadays to improve the protection. To talk of these kinds of protection, most of them are of the traditional types which will lack in some of the ne...

Istio Service Mesh: The Step by Step Guide

Image
What is Istio Service Mesh? Istio service mesh provides several capabilities for traffic monitoring, access control, discovery, security, resiliency, and other useful things to a bundle of services. It delivers all that and strikingly does not require any changes to the code of any of those services. To make this possible, Istio deploys an Istio proxy (called an Istio sidecar) next to each service. All of the traffic meant for assistance is directed to the proxy, which uses policies to decide how, when, or if that traffic should be deployed to the service. It also enables sophisticated techniques such as canary deployments, fault injections, and circuit breakers. How Istio Works with Containers and Kubernetes Istio service mesh, as suggested, uses a sidecar  container implementation  of the features and functions required mainly for microservices. Developed and announced in 2017, it was built on the Istio envoy framework, and has since then sunk its teeth into are...

Role of Python in Artificial Intelligence

Image
Python and Artificial Intelligence(AI) — How do they relate? Python is one of the most popular programming languages used by developers today. Guido Van Rossum created it in 1991 and ever since its inception has been one of the most widely used languages along with C++, Java, etc. In our endeavour to identify what is the best programming language for AI and neural network, Python has taken a big lead. Let us look at why  Artificial Intelligence  with Python is one of the best ideas under the sun. Features and Advantages of Python Python is an Interpreted language which in lay man’s terms means that it does not need to be compiled into machine language instruction before execution and can be used by the developer directly to run the program. This makes it comprehensive enough for the language to be interpreted by an emulator or a virtual machine on top of the native machine language which is what the hardware understands. It is a  High-Level Program...
