Reading Time: 2 minutesSeems that nested virtualization is becoming popular on public cloud: first with Ravello, this year also on Azure, and now Google Compute Engine supports nested virtualization in beta. This feature allows you to run one or more virtual machines inside a Compute Engine Linux virtual machine by leveraging Intel VT-x, processor virtualization instructions, to deliver better performance than what’s possible with alternative technologies like emulation.
Reading Time: 2 minutesVMware, a global leader in cloud infrastructure and business mobility, and OVH, a global hyper-scale cloud provider, have announced OVH intends to acquire VMware vCloud Air business. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. The transaction is expected close in calendar 2Q 2017. Funny that OVH group was also a big vCloud partner from VMware and it’s curious to see that now can buy the vCloud Air business (maybe the datacenters used by VMware were almost from OVH?).

Reading Time: 7 minutesPotrebbe essere giunto il momento di investire in qualche certificazione orientata al mondo del cloud computing? Probabilmente la risposta è sì (e più passa il tempo e più diventa certo che sarà sì). Ma quale certificazione? Poiché esistono diversi tipi di cloud (sia nei servizi che nel modo di consumarli), bisogna fare prima alcune distinzioni e precisazioni. Tutto quello che riguarda il private cloud in realtà è già coperto da certificazioni tradizionali dei vari vendor. In realtà per la parte di management ed integrazione si possono avere strumenti nuovi con certificazioni nuove (si pensi ad […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesChe il mondo OpenSource sia importante nessuno lo mette in dubbio: ci sono aziende che ne hanno fatto un motto e un modello di business (RedHat in primis), ma ci sono aziende che lo stanno abbracciando vedendolo più come una risorsa più che un nemico (vedasi Microsoft nell’ultimo anno).
