The field of confidential computing is still in its infancy, to the point where it lacks a clear, agreed, and established problem description. Elena Reshetova and Andi Kleen from Intel recently started the conversation by sharing their view of a potential threat model in the form of this document, which is specific to the Intel Trust Domain Extension (TDX) on Linux, but which is intended to be applicable to other confidential-computing solutions as well. The resulting conversation showed that there is some ground to be covered to achieve a consensus on the model in the community.

We tackle some of the unique challenges of scaling multimodal machine learning models that operate on media assets (video, audio, and text).

This article provides an in-depth explanation of the OSI Reference Model in computer networks, with a focus on the seven layers and their functions.

Nowadays, the focus of new software should be on software APIs. This requires the developers and architects to rethink their perspectives

Okay, maybe not everything you know about latency is wrong. But now that I have your attention, we can talk about why the tools and methodologies you use to measure and reason about latency are lik…

It was only a matter of time before somebody tried to bring BPF to the kernel's CPU scheduler. At the end of January, Tejun Heo posted the second revision of a 30-part patch series, co-written with David Vernet, Josh Don, and Barret Rhoden, that does just that. There are clearly interesting things that could be done by deferring scheduling decisions to a BPF program, but it may take some work to sell this idea to the development community as a whole.

It ensures that in the complex mesh of services comprising your API, every party handles requests securely and performs informed authorization decisions.

Human knowledge has naturally for centuries been captured in human friendly formats such as books, intended to be consumed by, you guessed it, humans. But our world has changed dramatically and we now live in a space where this needs to be shared with computers. Machine driven processing, learning, or intelligence requires access to human knowledge in digital formats. We have more or less completed the transition from paper into formats such a PDF, Word, Excel, HTML, but these are unstructured and not easily consumable or understandable by software. We need to take this one step further and transition into machine friendly JSON, XML, or RDF formats, whose structured can be well described by standard specifications, schemas, and models. This is often perceived as a monumental task, but can AIs such a ChatGTP help?

The Gherkin syntax helps you think through the process of a transaction with technology and then helps you write it down in a form that translates into programmer logic.

Multi-tenant architecture explained in simple words

The short answer is: yes it is. But since that answer doesn’t constitute a “real” article, let me expand on that a bit.

Let's take a look at one of Twitter alternatives: Mastodon. Will it scale?

OpenZiti is dedicated to make the challenge of secure connectivity simple and accessible by replacing infrastructure with software. The world is software, your secure network needs to be software.

A next-generation sharing platform built on top of OpenZiti, a programmable zero-trust network overlay.

API monetization is quite complicated, and although there are multiple ways to meet the challenges, some are more efficient and scalable than others.
