System Architecture

I am working on version 2.0 of the content API I am using as part of my work across Postman Open Technologies. It is a little meta, but I have an API for managing the content I produce and then distribute across the blog posts, videos, and books I am producing. I am using the API to help standardize and power the storytelling across my own work, but continue leveraging to do the same across my team. I’ve been using a half-baked version 1.0 of my API to guide my work for the rest of the year, but I am looking to continue adopting our internal approach to API-first at Postman as part of how I work externally as my team’s operational, demo, workshop, and community APIs. To kick off this effort I am sitting down with Bruno Pedro (@bpedro), the product manager helping lead API-first within Postman, as well as our public API strategy, and beginning to walk through his API playbook.

Machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow and heterogeneous computing libraries such as OpenCL can use GPUs as computing devices in addition or as an alternative to CPU cores. With a new klib implementing a GPU driver, you can run a Nanos unikernel in a VM instance equipped with a GPU and execute your compute-intensive workloads on the GPU.

The QEMU emulator has a sizable set of storage features, including disk-image file formats like qcow2, snapshots, incremental backup, and storage migration, which are available to virtual machines. This software-defined storage functionality that is available inside QEMU has not been easily accessible outside of it, however. Kevin Wolf and Stefano Garzarella presented at KVM Forum 2022 on the new qemu-storage-daemon program and the libblkio library that make QEMU's storage functionality available even when the goal is not to run a virtual machine (VM).
