ESI Language Specification 1.0. W3C Note 04 August 2001 This version: Latest version: Authors:

ESI Language Specification 1.0

Open Virtualization Format. Open Virtualization Format (OVF) is an open standard for packaging and distributing virtual appliances or more generally software to be run in virtual machines.

Open Virtualization Format

The standard describes an "open, secure, portable, efficient and extensible format for the packaging and distribution of software to be run in virtual machines". The OVF standard is not tied to any particular hypervisor or processor architecture. The unit of packaging and distribution is a so-called OVF Package which may contain one or more virtual systems each of which can be deployed to a virtual machine. Tiered service. Tiered service structures allow users to select from a small set of tiers at progressively increasing price points to receive the product or products best suited to their needs.

Tiered service

Such systems are frequently seen in the telecommunications field, specifically when it comes to wireless service, digital and cable television options, and broadband internet access.[1] When a wireless company, for example, charges customers different amounts based on the number of voice minutes, text messages, and other features they desire, the company is utilizing the principle of tiered service.

This is also seen in charging different prices for services such as the speed of one's internet connection and the number of cable television channels one has access to. Tiered pricing allows customers access to these services who may not otherwise due to financial constraints, ultimately reflecting the diversity of consumer needs and resources.

Software-defined storage (SDS) is a term for computer data storage technologies which separate storage hardware from the software that manages the storage infrastructure.

Software defined storage

The software enabling a software-defined storage environment provides policy management for feature options such as deduplication, replication, thin provisioning, snapshots and backup. By definition,[1] SDS software is separate from hardware it is managing. That hardware may or may not have abstraction, pooling, or automation software embedded. This philosophical span has made it difficult to categorize. Software-Defined Datacenter for Cloud Computing & Big Data. RemoteStorage-2011.10 - Unhosted Web Community Group. Introduction Adding WebFinger, OAuth and Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) to an online storage makes it usable as per-user storage for web apps.

RemoteStorage-2011.10 - Unhosted Web Community Group

This specification describes a common interface for such a per-user online data storage. To make use of a remoteStorage-compatible online storage account, the user visits an HTML application that runs in her browser, or user-agent: 1. Cross-Origin WebFinger lets the user-agent discover the user's remoteStorage. 2. This spec is for engineers who provide online storage to users of the web. Keyword "MUST" used as in rcf2119. $TEMPLATE - a template for the web address (URL) of the storage, containing the string '{category}' (see the section on Storage), $API - which exact HTTP API is exposed (see the section on APIs), $AUTH - the OAuth end-point for obtaining $TOKEN (see the section on OAuth), $CATEGORY - a string that corresponds to one independent key-value store, e.g. WebFinger $TEMPLATE: " $API: "CouchDB" $AUTH: "

Edge Side Includes. Edge Side Includes or ESI is a small markup language for edge level dynamic web content assembly.

Edge Side Includes

The purpose of ESI is to tackle the problem of web infrastructure scaling.[1] It is an application of edge computing. ESI Language Specification 1.0 was submitted to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for approval in August 2001. The W3C has acknowledged receipt, but has not accepted the proposal.[1] The End Of "Cloud Computing?" If you think Larry Ellison's re-definition of cloud computing was confusing, get ready for a compete replacement of the term.

The End Of "Cloud Computing?"

If some companies get their way, "cloud computing" may be dissipating rapidly. Of course, it's not like the phrase has a close connection with the public to start with. Even prominent members of the technology community have issues with it, if Ellison's marketing-spiel is any indication. Webinos - Secure Web Operating System Application Delivery Environment.

Redis. Redis. Supported languages[edit] Data models[edit] The type of a value determines what operations (called commands) are available for the value itself. Redis supports high-level, atomic, server-side operations like intersection, union, and difference between sets and sorting of lists, sets and sorted sets. Persistence[edit] By default, Redis syncs data to the disk at least every 2 seconds, with more or less robust options available if needed. Replication[edit] Redis supports master-slave replication. Cloud Data Management Interface. The Cloud Data Management Interface--better known as CDMI--is a SNIA standard that specifies a protocol for self-provisioning, administering and accessing cloud storage.[1] Capabilities[edit] Compliant implementations must provide access to a set of configuration parameters known as capabilities.

Cloud Data Management Interface

These are either boolean values that represent whether or not a system supports things such as queues, export via other protocols, path-based storage and so on, or numeric values expressing system limits, such as how much metadata may be placed on an object. As a minimal compliant implementation can be quite small, with few features, clients need to check the cloud storage system for a capability before attempting to use the functionality it represents.

This is a guest post by Stephen Nelson-Smith (@lordcope) Puppet, Chef, Fabric, Capistrano, Ruby, Python, Github, EC2, Heroku – the list goes on. These are just some of the disruptive forces that have revolutionised what it means to manage systems in the twenty first century. One of the most interesting and important trends to emerge from this paradigm shift is the desire and willingness to treat Infrastructure as Code.

Although not synonymous with Devops, its methods and objectives are both supportive and complementary. I think it’s fair to say that if you’re doing Devops today, you’re probably treating your infrastructure as code. “Enable the reconstruction of the business from nothing but a source code repository, an application data backup, and bare metal resources” In practice this means rethinking the way we design, build and manage our systems. Cloud computing. In common usage, the term "the cloud" is essentially a metaphor for the Internet.[1] Marketers have further popularized the phrase "in the cloud" to refer to software, platforms and infrastructure that are sold "as a service", i.e. remotely through the Internet. Typically, the seller has actual energy-consuming servers which host products and services from a remote location, so end-users don't have to; they can simply log on to the network without installing anything.

The major models of cloud computing service are known as software as a service, platform as a service, and infrastructure as a service. These cloud services may be offered in a public, private or hybrid network.[2] Google, Amazon, IBM, Oracle Cloud, Salesforce, Zoho and Microsoft Azure are some well-known cloud vendors.[3] Advantages[edit] The cloud also focuses on maximizing the effectiveness of the shared resources.

PaaS. DevOps. NaaS. DaaS. LAMP (software bundle) The acronym LAMP refers to first letters of the four components of a solution stack, composed entirely of free and open-source software, suitable for building high-availability heavy-duty dynamic web sites, and capable of serving tens of thousands of requests simultaneously. The meaning of the LAMP acronym depends on which specific components are used as part of the actual bundle: The exact combination of the software included in a LAMP stack is prone to variation, for example Apache web server can be replaced by some other web server software.

Though the original authors of these programs did not design them to work as a component of the LAMP stack, the development philosophy and tool sets are shared and were developed in close conjunction, so they work and scale very well together. Due to the nature of free and open-source software and the ubiquity of its components, each component of the LAMP stack is very well tested regarding performance and security. MAMP. Any open source Web platform made up of these software programs and built upon Mac OS X is a MAMP. Though originally only Apache was integrated into Mac OS X, the combination has become popular because of its low cost and because of the ubiquity of its components, and Mac OS X 10.5 and above ships with PHP and is MySQL-ready.

When used in combination they represent a solution stack of technologies that support application servers. MAMP may also be used with popular CMS programs like Drupal for setting up a local development environment. [1][2] Variants and equivalents on other platforms[edit] WAMP.
