I recently read Billion Dollar Whale ( https://www.amazon.com/Billion-Dollar-Whale-Fooled-Hollywood... ) which I enjoyed. It seemed to me to be surprisingly easy to launder money t…

The documentation for kata seems fairly straightforward for a single host install. Install the kata packages, modify docker daemon to change the run time, then use Docker the usual…

The thing that stuck out to me about the presser was the quote from the VP of Cloud and Enterprise Group, and that someone high up on Azure team is joining the Linux Foundation boa…
