Linux Foundation: Hyperledger Conflict and Hybrid DevOps

  • IBM and Intel’s Blockchain Tug of War

    When the governing board of Hyperledger approved a new supply chain project earlier this month, it marked a significant departure for the open-source blockchain consortium.

    Sawtooth Supply Chain, as the project is provisionally called, breaks new ground because it’s arguably the consortium’s first to really inhabit the application layer of the software stack. It’s built on top of the Sawtooth framework, which Intel contributed to Hyperledger.

    Prior to this, Hyperledger confined its work to the lower layers and eschewed the custom-design of blockchain application code with industry players in mind. That job was left to vendors to carry out in a proprietary manner – as IBM has been doing in its now-live food-tracking supply chain platform with the likes of Walmart.

  • Hyperledger Adds Alibaba Cloud, Citi, Deutsche Telekom, we.trade and 12 more New Members at Hyperledger Global Forum

    Hyperledger, an open source collaborative effort created to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies, today announced Alibaba Cloud, Citi, Deutsche Telekom, we.trade and 12 more organizations have joined the project. This news came during day one of the inaugural Hyperledger Global Forum in Basel, Switzerland.

  • Hybrid DevOps

    All three create a tight integration between the Development and Operations teams and increase the release to production. Now comes the Cloud Native approach which provides significant new power to the development group over Operations functions. This shift in power is often met with resistance from the Operations group.

    Any approach to DevOps requires a significant culture change in the development, quality assurance, and operations groups. This culture change is often the greatest barrier to successfully implementing a DevOps operating model. To address this reality, the best solution is to change the KPI’s on the development group from release to production time to the number of faults in production measured at the user’s screen. One of the biggest challenges to DevOps is that speed can be the enemy to reliability. Changing the metrics on developers greatly improves this sensitivity and therefore changing the metrics on Operations is also required. Operations can no longer blame developers for production faults if they do not tell them during development. This requires operations to be much more involved in reviewing the features and development activities than in the past.

    In the traditional “on-prem” environment, the roles and responsibilities of development teams and operations personnel do not so much change so much as combine to achieve the realization of DevOps. When this is applied to “Cloud,” it becomes more challenging due to the variety of consumption models, e.g., SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, and FaaS being used. Each type will represent a different development model and support challenge. Throw into this the Hybrid IT environment, and roles/responsibilities could become blurred. As businesses struggle to find the right fit for their workloads, IT is also struggling to align with this new paradigm. Best practices are still being defined, and configurations are being optimized, usually manually, in response to overages or worse security breaches.

    The Hybrid IT model is unique in that services can be delivered from multiple suppliers and any supplier’s service can compromise the service level. When implementing DevOps in a Hybrid IT climate, actors and roles must be aligned to the same business objectives, timelines, and concepts of Hybrid IT to fully leverage the capabilities of DevOps.

  • Hyperledger project joins forces with 12, including Citi and Alibaba Cloud

    Hyperledger, an open source blockchain consortium, has recently brought a large number of significant partners on board, including, Alibaba Cloud, Citi, Deutsche Telekom, we.trade, and 12 other members, who have joined forces with a network of companies and developers who are looking to cooperate in pushing blockchain technology forward, according to a press release.

    The news came out during the first day of the Hyperledger Global Forum in Switzerland, and according to Hyperledger’s Executive Director, ‘reflects the increasing importance of open source efforts to build enterprise blockchain technologies across industries and markets.’ While blockchain technology and crypto has made an impressive inroad into finance and business sectors, Hyperledger continues to also make progress in developing a vibrant open source software scene for the technology.

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
