Segmentation and Isolation on Kubernetes for Enterprise Teams
Enterprises are adopting Kubernetes to accelerate the development and the
delivery of cloud-native applications. However, sharing a Kubernetes cluster
between members of the same team can be challenging. And, sharing clusters
across multiple teams is even harder.
Kubernetes offers several constructs to help implement segmentation and
isolation. However, these primitives can be complex to understand and apply.
As a result, it's becoming common for enterprises to end up with several
clusters. This leads to a waste of cloud resources and increased operational
overhead.

What's disruptive innovation, and why does it matter to leaders in the
C-suite? It's how the savvy non-conformist will target market opportunities.
How does this happen, when established companies seem to have the advantage?
Creative software developers can quickly apply new technologies and digital
business models to capture untapped demand.
Moreover, the most disruptive new companies will eventually reshape entire
industries, swiftly pushing aside the legacy incumbent players -- it's a form
of Digital Darwinism. The global networked economy will blossom, thanks to
the pervasive Internet, while the adaptive entities will survive and prosper.
Over the next five years, global digital transformation will continue to have
a significant impact on the demands and requirements of Internet Protocol
(IP) networks, according to key findings from the latest Cisco Visual

Internet of Blockchains: How Networks of Distributed Ledgers Will Enable
Scalability and Cross-Chain Value Exchange
A few years ago – in the early days of Blockchain – a lot of people were
taken with the idea of a multifunctional chain on which all transactions
could be handled.
After Ethereum was launched in 2014, its advocates were talking themselves
hoarse about the transformative opportunities the platform introduced.
Decentralized applications, they predicted, along with all sorts of value
transfers would be executed exclusively on Ethereum from that point on, and
no other networks would ever be needed.
However, that belief didn’t last long: experts saw major networks facing
scalability issues when trying to increase their user bases and, also, they
saw the frequent hacking.
After a while, there were but a few people left who supported the concept of

Quick quiz!
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the following
phrases?
Artificial grass Artificial sweeteners Artificial flavors Artificial plants
Artificial flowers Artificial diamonds and jewelry Artificial (fake) news
These phrases probably evoke thoughts such as “fake,” “not real,” or
even “shabby.” Artificial is such a harsh adjective. The word
“artificial” is defined as “imitation; simulated; sham” with synonyms
such as fake, false, mock, counterfeit, bogus, phony and factitious.
The word “artificial” may not be the right term to use to describe
“Artificial Intelligence,” because “artificial intelligence” is
anything but fake, false, phony, or a sham. Maybe a better term is
“Augmented Human Intelligence,” or a phrase that highlights both the
importance of augmenting the human’s intelligence as well as to alleviate
the fears that AI means ... (more)
CloudExpo | DXWorldEXPO have announced the conference tracks for Cloud Expo
2018, introducing DXWorldEXPO.
DXWordEXPO, colocated with Cloud Expo will be held June 5-7, 2018, at the
Javits Center in New York City, and November 6-8, 2018, at the Santa Clara
Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA.
Digital Transformation (DX) is a major focus with the introduction of DXWorld
Expo within the program. Successful transformation requires a laser focus on
being data-driven and on using all the tools available that enable
transformation if they plan to survive over the long term.
A total of 88% of Fortune 500 companies from a generation ago are now out of
business. Only 12% still survive. Similar percentages are found throughout
enterprises of all sizes.

The rise of the market for No-Code platforms and tools has given rise to a
burgeoning population of ‘citizen developers’ – non-technical business
personnel who can use these platforms to build an increasingly powerful set
of business applications without writing a line of code.
As this market matures, different platforms focus on different challenges. As
a result, a wider range of ‘citizen’ roles also evolve, such as citizen
process creators and citizen data analysts.
High on this list: the new role of citizen integrator.
A citizen integrator is a non-technical business user who uses a No-Code
integration tool to perform either application integration or data
integration tasks – as well as tasks that combine these two integration
modes.
Integration has always been a difficult technical task that has heretofore

Digital Transformation and the Modern Enterprise
Digital Transformation (DX) is not a "one-size-fits all" strategy. Each
organization needs to develop its own unique, long-term DX plan. It must do
so by realizing that we now live in a data-driven age, and that technologies
such as Cloud Computing, Big Data, the IoT, Cognitive Computing, and
Blockchain are only tools.
View General Session: ▸ Here
In her general session at 21st Cloud Expo, Rebecca Wanta explained how the
strategy must focus on DX and include a commitment from top management to
create great IT jobs, monitor progress, and never forget that their
enterprise is in a day-to-day battle for survival.

So data warehousing may not be cool anymore, you say? It’s yesterday’s
technology (or 1990’s technology if you’re as old as me) that served
yesterday’s business needs. And while it’s true that recent big data and
data science technologies, architectures and methodologies seems to have
rendered data warehousing to the back burner, it is entirely false that there
is not a critical role for the data warehouse and Business Intelligence in
digitally transformed organizations.
Maybe the best way to understand today’s role of the data warehouse is with
a bit of history. And please excuse us if we take a bit of liberty with
history (since we were there for most of this!).

What GDPR Is and How to Comply with It: A Brief Guide
As you have probably heard, the EU commission signed the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) back in April 2016. The legislation is designed
to help companies handle efficiently the data challenges of the 21st century
and give strict guidelines as to how to work with massive flows of digital
information. It is set to protect web users (data subjects) from malicious
use and loss of their personal info and, also, to give people greater control
over how their records are processed.
GDPR is to take effect on May 25, 2018.
Company runners still have time enough to modify organizational processes to
comply fully with new security rules, and today we will explain how they
should start.
What Exactly Is GDPR About?
First off, it outlines how companies that work with EU personal data should

Instead, I think this is the year that we will see the role of the CIO transformed into something altogether different.

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) have been the subject of much discourse in the last several years. They were widely anticipated in the gaming and entertainment industries, but in marketing and corporate settings, the benefits were murky at best. Today, these technologies are becoming more of a reality in all areas of business.
For example, the new IKEA® shopping app leverages augmented reality to help shoppers determine how certain popular items will look in their homes – no trip to a crowded megastore necessary. Marriott® deployed virtual reality for customers to see its hot...
The word polymorphism is used in various contexts and describes situations in which something occurs in several different forms. In computer science, it describes the concept that objects of different types can be accessed through the same interface. Each type can provide its own, independent implementation of this interface. It is one of the core concepts of object-oriented programming (OOP).
Every year about this time, we gaze into crystal balls to divine the future of our industry – or at least where it’s headed over the next 365 days. The result is often a triumph of incrementalism: we predict that we will get more of what we already have. The truth is, technology isn’t as revolutionary as we often think – and commenting on incremental changes alone may not help us understand what lies ahead.
Along with a few near-term predictions – so hard to resist – I’d also like to make some predictions not just about technology per se, but about related changes to organizations, processes,...
For many of us laboring in the fields of digital transformation, 2017 was a year of high-intensity work and high-reward achievement. So we’re looking forward to a little breather over the end-of-year holiday season.

We’re seeing an emerging trend in the cloud computing world. I’ve been referring to it as cloud fatigue, but it’s more commonly known as repatriation, or moving workloads from the cloud back to on-prem locations. According to a recent 451 Research report, over 21 percent of organizations have plans to pull back from the cloud and return to an on-prem infrastructure in 2017. Considering the vast growth of cloud adoption over the last several years, what’s behind this trend?
