Practical Linux DevOps: Building a Linux Lab for Modern Software Development
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1484283171 | 339 Pages | PDF EPUB | 8 MB
Having a home or work-based Linux lab is indispensable to anyone looking to experiment with the ever-evolving landscape of new software and DevOps. With open-source tools and readily available hardware, readers will end up with a lab they can use to try virtually any modern software, including Chef, Docker, Kubernetes and stalwarts like DNS, Dovecot and Postfix for email. Readers will focus on discrete projects that help them learn through doing and, as a result, acquire the skills they need to become better informed, more marketable engineers and developers, and better able to take on a wide array of software projects with confidence.

Klaus Leopold, "Practical Kanban: From Team Focus to Creating Value"
English | ISBN: 3903205001 | 2017 | 353 pages | AZW3 | 9 MB
The Kanban board is constructed, the swim lanes are drawn and the blockade stickers are positioned. Now what? Kanban is not able to reach its full potential in many companies. Often, the meaning behind the individual practices, such as WIP limits, is not correctly understood. All hope is placed in a method instead of actions. Kanban helps uncover the weak points in a work system, and as a result, reveals how to better generate value for the customer. This book can help in tweaking an existing Kanban system, as well as expand your own repertoire of solutions. Klaus Leopold describes in detail the principles and functionality of Kanban, which are not always intuitive. He discusses typical problems that he has observed in his work with real-world Kanban systems. Klaus illustrates the possibilities that exist when the entire value creation chain of a company is taken into account and how tools such as Cost of Delay and forecasting can become strategic aids. Thus, it should become clear that Kanban is not a team method, but rather a method for improvement that considers the entire value creation chain of a company.

Practical Cloud Native Security with Falco: Risk and Threat Detection for Containers, Kubernetes, and Cloud
English | 2022 | ISBN: 109811857X | 250 Pages | EPUB | 3 MB
As more and more organizations migrate their applications to the cloud, cloud native computing has become the dominant way to approach software development and execution. In the meantime, security threats are growing more sophisticated and widespread every day. Protecting your applications from these threats requires the ability to defend them at runtime, when they're most vulnerable to attacks. This practical guide introduces you to Falco, the open source standard for continuous risk and threat detection across Kubernetes, containers, and the cloud. Falco creator Loris Degioanni and core maintainer Leonardo Grasso bring you up to speed on cloud native threat detection basics and show you how to get Falco up and running. You'll then dive into advanced topics such as deploying Falco in production and writing your own security rules. You'll learn how to: Leverage runtime security in cloud native environments Detect configuration changes and unexpected behavior in the cloud Protect containers, Kubernetes, and cloud applications using Falco Run, deploy, and customize Falco using advanced concepts Deploy, configure, and maintain Falco in a production environment Improve your organization's ability to pass compliance audits Implement threat detection for containers, Kubernetes, and cloud apps

Posthuman Personhood By Daryl J. Wennemann
2013 | 170 Pages | ISBN: 0761861033 | PDF | 2 MB
Posthuman Personhood takes up the ethical challenge posed by Francis Fukuyama's work, Our Posthuman Future. Daryl J. Wennemann argues that the traditional concept of personhood may be fruitfully applied to the ethical challenge we face in a posthuman age. He draws upon Wilfrid Sellars' treatment of the concept of a person within "the manifest image of man in the world." Sellars proposed that we develop a stereoscopic view of reality that includes both a scientific understanding of the world and a meaningful place for persons living and acting in the world. Following Mary Anne Warren, Wennemann develops a distinction between two meanings of the term "human," a biological meaning and a moral meaning, and maintains that all (biologically) humanbeings are persons. But, it is not necessarily the case that all persons must be (biologically) human. After drawing on a contemporary version of Kant's distinction between a theoretical possibility and a real possibility, the book posits that biologically non-human persons like robots, computers, or aliens are a theoretical possibility but that we do not know if they are a real possibility. Finally, Wennemann describes an ethic of self-limitation for the posthuman age.

Post Offices of Europe 18th - 21st Century: A Comparative History (Histoire de la Poste et des Communications / History of the Post Offices and Communications) By Muriel Le Roux (editor), Sébastien Richez (editor)
2014 | 571 Pages | ISBN: 2875741780 | PDF | 12 MB
The cursus publicus, established by the Roman Empire to connect all its conquered territories, may be considered to be the ancestor of all modern post offices. Therefore, mail service networks are part of an organization, dating from Antiquity, which is common to the entire European community. From the 18th century onwards, the French mail service network may be divided into three successive phases. First, the consolidation of the transportation system that was being set up. Second, the development of the system's ability to deal with increasing traffic (through broader human resources). Thirdly, the diversification of its operations and the development of its technical modernisation. What was the situation in other European countries? Are there similarities and differences in how their networks were set up and organized? Finally, how did European Post Offices cooperate with each other in spite of their differences?
