Size matters: how Fedora approaches minimization
As part of a modern IT environment, Linux distributions can look to optimizing their size to be better suited for container use. One of the ways this improvement can happen is through reducing the size of a distribution, a process known as minimization. A new tool is...
Red Hat and NVIDIA bring scalable, efficient edge computing to smart cities
Teams from Red Hat and NVIDIA have collaborated on creating a scalable hybrid cloud application that could revolutionize smart city initiatives such as traffic-flow monitoring and transportation management around the world. By working together, the two companies are...
UKL: A Unikernel Based on Linux
Unikernels are customized, single address space bootable images composed of an application and the required bare-minimum kernel functionality. Today’s unikernels have demonstrated substantial performance and security advantages over monolithic and microkernels, but...
Bringing Intelligence to the Edge with IoT Gateway
In the previous blog, my colleague David Bericat discussed why Internet of Things (IoT) architecture should be built with open source. One of the core components of end-to-end IoT architecture listed in that article was an intelligent IoT gateway that can process data...
Building an Open End-to-End Internet of Things Architecture
Designing, implementing, securely operating, managing and maintaining IoT projects is complex. In fact, there are entire organizations whose sole mission is solving a specific problem within an IoT architecture. The problems that can be found within such architectures...
How Computers Became More Specialized Again
Computing styles ebb and flow. The centralized mainframe in the glass room largely ebbed in favor of the PC revolution that itself gave way, at least in part, to the web and the cloud. Today, we have a complex mix of massive datacenters, Internet-of-Things (IoT)...
