DevOps is dead. Long live DevOps.
In the world of agile processes and continuous deployment, managed services are moving into the mainstream. Are reports of the death of DevOps greatly exaggerated?
The Open Container Initiative (OCI) takes another step toward standardization.
The OCI unites players in the container industry to formulate a standards-based approach for container technologies. Their latest project? Creating an open image format specification.
Is this the year when bots take over the tech world?
For Phil Libin, 2016 may mark the point when a host of new technologies like machine learning, computer vision, and serverless computing will converge – and change our daily lives.
RESOURCES
Microservices vs. service-oriented architecture (SOA) – what's right for you?
What are the key differences between microservices and the traditional service-oriented architecture? This primer defines each and gives an overview of their pros and cons to help you determine the right architecture for your system.
DIY machine learning: train your own Inception image classifier with TensorFlow.
Can you distinguish between a spotted salamander and a fire salamander with high confidence? Inception can. Learn to build your own image classifier.
BigShift: turning the tables from Redshift to BigQuery.
Moving tables from AWS Redshift into BigQuery can be a labor-intensive process. BigShift, built by Chief Architect at Burt, Theo Hultberg, handles each step of the process for you.
Play with publicly available datasets on BigQuery – for free.
Publicly available datasets are a playground for data hounds. Query 1TB for free each month, like the complete text of 3.5 million books, 89 years of climate data, or every word spoken in 740,000 news broadcasts.
PLATFORM UPDATES
TensorFlow adds distributed computing.
TensorFlow gets its most requested feature. Now anyone can use hundreds of GPUs in parallel to train machine learning models in hours instead of weeks.
Cloud Vision API generally available.
Give your apps the ability to analyze the content of images and detect, search, and react to elements within those images. New features include expanded logo detection and updated OCR capabilities.
Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN) now in beta.
Enabled with a single click, Cloud CDN's 50 globally distributed edge caches bring content closer to users. Lower latency means faster content delivery – and reduced server costs.
Load balancing UI now generally available.
Use a single interface to manage and distribute traffic among your configured backends. To see how load balancing offers users greater speed and availability, check out this quick tutorial.
