Damon Stapleton: The chess player in Brick Lane and the joy of Cannes. – Campaign Brief

July 4 2022, 2:09 pm | BY Ricki Green | No Comments A blog by Damon Stapleton, chief creative officer, The Monkeys New Zealand.

The French Riviera. A sunny place for shady people. Somerset Maughan

When it comes to Cannes and advertising, people often start with whats wrong with it. I dont want to do that after a million zoom calls over the last couple of years. I would rather write about the joy of Cannes. And the joy comes from those mad people you see fleetingly every five years or so. People.

So, if you dont mind, I would like to start in another place full of people. To be specific, Brick Lane in London.

In the middle of a mile-long market I found a beret-wearing cigar-smoking man who could have been from a variety of European countries, playing chess against all comers. He was doing it for free. He was doing it because it made him happy. He reminded me how important it is to do things simply because they are fun.

There was a small crowd that began to grow as he played a young woman who had evidently been there the weekend before. She had been practicing all week and in a beautiful twist she beat our possibly French hero. There was applause and laughter. There was clapping of hands. Grumpy Londoners were delighted to be there. There was joy.

Joy. For a few years we were trapped in our own worlds. And then we were all in the same one.

There is a beautiful line in the Lawrence Kasdan 1991 movie Grand Canyon which is, Never go to the Grand Canyon alone. Perhaps, this is what Cannes was about this year. The festival was great but being with all those crazy people you hadnt seen for years was really special. The tribe found itself. And then we carry on for another year.

Cannes is not perfect by any means. I have been going for more than a decade. It has made me very angry and very happy and probably everything else. There is work that wins that I believe shouldnt. There is work I have done that I think should have done better. And I am sure every creative in the world feels that way. With at least 30,000 entries that will never change.

Cannes has also become massive. It is now a festival that encompasses a multitude of industries and channels. I hear gaming will be introduced next year. So if you think its big now, hold onto your hats. This is of course the problem. If advertising is everything and everywhere, how do you have a finite festival for it? Where is the centre of creativity? Maybe a topic for another blog.

More than a few people have said to me its lost its centre or soul. People complain about the size of the boats, how much ros is consumed and the kind of work that wins. This kind of criticism has happened ever since I first landed on that scary runway in Nice 15 years ago. All of this may or may not be true depending on your point of view. The truth is, each time I go I either have a brilliant time or a terrible time. There is no in between. Over the years, I have come to the conclusion that it has far more to do with me and where I am at in my career than the place itself. Cannes is a strange mirror. It is always just what is happening right now. Good and bad.

So what did the mirror show me this time? It showed me that there is no substitute for being there. It showed me there is no substitute for seeing all those crazy people that make advertising fantastic. Something we should be way prouder of than we are. The people are the place.

Like that cheering crowd in Brick Lane watching chess. It didnt make sense but it made sense to us. Isnt that what living is? People were excited again. Just because we were there. It made us happy because it was fun.

I saw junior teams in Cannes who were there for the first time with wide eyes and wider smiles. They were inspired. They realised how big their universe truly was. You could see nothing was going to stop them. I dont think there is a value or price you can put on that feeling. Our industry should not take it for granted. Especially if you are trying to do difficult things.

Perhaps I, like many of us, have become a little jaded by the passing parade over the years. But this Cannes I remembered what it felt like the first time I went to the South of France. I loved the ideas. I loved the adventure of it all. I loved the people. I saw the potential.

I was a creative not a critic.

This year, after a two year winter the sun came out. I think we all needed this. It felt like normality again. It felt like life and living. The world felt open again. And that felt joyous.

My shady people had found their sunny place once again.

Chess: Malta and national champion return to world scene – Times of Malta

World Amateur Championships 2022 to be held in Malta

The details of the World Amateur Championships 2022 to be held in Malta have been announced by the World Chess Federation (FIDE).

This official world event will take place October 20 and 30 with six world championship titles in play: U2300, U2000 and U1700, each open and womens.

The top womens category offers particular potential as it allows entry ranked just below the worlds top 25 girls and roughly top 150 women. The event initially planned for April 2021 will have an increased prize fund of 15,000.

The event follows the European Small Nations Team Championship held at the end of last year, part of the official European calendar.

The last official world event to take place in Malta was the 1st World Youth U16 Olympiad in 1994, which included 12-year-old prodigies Ruslan Ponomariov and Francisco Vallejo Pons.

Before that, the 24th World Olympiad was held in the Great Ward of the then newly-inaugurated Mediterranean Conference Centre in 1980, at which event Garry Kasparov (see photo below) made his Olympiad debut as second reserve for the USSR (gold) at the record age of 17, and winning the bronze medal behind Yugoslavias Pedrag Nikoli and Maltas Andrew Borg.

Entries are strictly through the respective chess federations by September 5. More information is available on the FIDE website.

CM Timothy Mifsud returns to First Saturday IM tournaments

The July 1, 2022 FIDE rating list published last week unveiled a new king atop Malta's active hill. Well, newish.

After a long hiatus, 18th Malta champion CM Timothy Mifsud returned to the board at the June edition of the famous First Saturday IM norm tournaments held in Budapest, Hungary.

Mifsud won the national championship six times (1993-98) and the national junior championship thrice (1992-94), and still holds the record of youngest ever champion (14 years).

Facing nine titled players with an average rating of 2248, Mifsud held his own performing only slightly below his last international rating, including wins against FMs Tibor Bodi and Mark Lyell, as well as draws against GM Tibor Fogarasi, IM Sandor Farago and WIM Isha Sharma.

Bright future for libraries in the cloud – Research Information

For Tom Shaw, associate director for digital innovation and open research at Lancaster University in the UK, the cloud is 'absolutely fundamental to the way we operate as a library and has been for a number of years'.

He said that, in addition to the collections hosted on vendor platforms, with most of the librarys systems and software, the university has taken a strategic decision to use a software as a service approach. This includes using Alma as the main library system, Primo as the discovery tool and other cloud-hosted services. Only a few, more bespoke library services are hosted at the university and even these are on central university servers, not in the library.

Such an approach has become increasingly common over the past decade or so, but why has the cloud become a key part of many libraries?

'We see real advantages in terms of reducing the resourcing implications, the technical overheads of running things ourselves in-house,' Shaw explained. 'With Alma, for instance, we pay Ex Libris to run that as a service on our behalf. If it falls over that's a phone call or a ticket we raise with them, which is a much more efficient way of looking at managing risk.

'We just don't have the luxury of large numbers of staff who can do the sorts of things that need doing in a non-cloud environment such as managing hardware and servers, installing patches, upgrading software, as well as doing innovative stuff and building new systems. Cloud has enabled us to free up staffing resource to do the things where we get real impact and real value. And it is also about trying to avoid reinventing the wheel; we can buy something in that usually is better than what we would have built in house.'

Beyond technical capacity and risk, there are benefits of scale with pooling resources, as Matt Hayes, managing director, technology from SAGE (Talis & Lean Library), observed: 'When we think about libraries in the cloud at Lean Library and Talis, we think less about the storage benefits and more about improved discovery of all the library has to offer, and the ability to provide added value on the open web, outside the librarys digital or physical infrastructure.'

One example that he shared is that Lean Library aggregates open access databases on behalf of libraries and provides libraries with tools to surface relevant content from these databases when their patrons encounter paywalls online. The tools also enable the library to provide added context to such content, to support their curation and discovery missions.

'Moving library systems to the cloud would allow for greater interoperability. In that respect, it makes it easier for libraries to deliver their services or resource on third-party websites and platforms essentially, wherever their users are,' Hayes added.

Gloria Gonzalez, senior agile product owner at Zepheira, part of EBSCO, had a similar observation: '[Our] Library.Link Network is a cloud-based service that is platform agnostic so it works with any catalogue that libraries use and it transforms their data into a format called BIBFRAME, which allows library data to become decentralised and helps libraries meet their users on the web where they're searching.'

BIBFRAME is a web native standard that allows libraries to publish structured data so that their data is more visible on the web. Gonzalez explained the benefits: 'Previously to this new format being available catalogues don't show up in library searches. They're not indexed by crawlers. In this new format all of that [library] data is open on the web. Indexers can crawl that information and provide access into their search engines. Having the same standards to describe their data makes it easier for libraries to work together to make their data better.'

She added that BIBFRAME data is syndicated directly to partners like Google: 'We launched a borrow option together in 2019 and now people searching in Google, in Australia, the United States and Canada can all find library books near them from the academic and public libraries and national libraries that surround them.' This can be extended to other countries, she continued, once a specific geographical area has enough libraries that are publishing data consistently.

Beyond Google, decentralising data on the web means libraries can be found anywhere they'd like to meet their community, whether it is faculty websites or community partner websites.

Of course, this openness can raise concerns for libraries when they are thinking about moving their services and systems to the cloud. 'Once you have your data available on the open web it can really be used for any purpose and so when libraries first approach us they ask about these solutions. They are curious to know very specific use cases because it can seem like there's too many options for what they can do,' observed Gonzalez.

Another concern that has sometimes been raised about moving to the cloud is about ensuring ongoing access to the librarys data.

'We address them through our data preservation and policy plans. So not only are we providing a host service, but we also on behalf of our customers take care of replicating that data and backing it up. So that if there ever were an issue, it could be restored,' Gonzalez noted.

Long-term sustainability of platforms is an issue that Shaw in Lancaster is also following. 'I'm conscious we might be buying something from a vendor who are cloud hosting it but it doesn't necessarily mean they own their own cloud infrastructure. Very likely they're using Amazon Web Services or something similar. It does raise some important questions about what would happen if the cloud provider fell over or decided on taking a very different approach. This is probably something that ought to be a bit more of a consideration as we kind of get deeper into the cloud environment.'

However, he added a counterpoint: 'The other thing is weighing it against the alternative. If we've got IT ourselves on premises, on our servers, you can go and look at racks with spinning disks in and say they're in this room that we've got locked but it doesn't necessarily they can't be hacked and aren't vulnerable in some way.'

Another aspect of cloud services that has come under increased scrutiny recently is environmental impact.

'Sometimes there is a tendency to think digital means we're not cutting down trees to make print books therefore it's greener. The reality is far more complicated and the carbon impact of the cloud can be quite considerable. It's not just power generation involved in the devices that people are using. There is huge amounts of power generation involved in running cloud data servers and networks. Then there is the question of where that energy comes from, what carbon footprint does it have, how sustainable or renewable are any of the sources powering those,' observed Shaw.

'Lancaster University has declared a climate emergency and across the university we're really being pushed in terms of how we're going to respond and to make that a meaningful statement. It's really pushing us to think more deeply about the impact of things like the cloud. We're going to be engaging more with our vendors and making it a much more usual part of the process to ask questions about how they power their data centres, what work they have done to understand the environmental impacts of cloud for them, and what is their roadmap for reducing the environmental impact of their activities. I'd also like to work with our procurement team to look at how that can become a much larger part of the procurement process.'

Gonzalez agreed about the challenge: 'Especially during the early adoption of cloud-based services, the environmental impact of cloud services was an issue, and it continues to be an issue. We specifically seek out data centres that are on average about three times more efficient than average data centres in the US. Our cloud provider partner is on a path to 100 using 100% renewable energy by 2025.' She added that ESBSCO also has an initiative, EBSCO Solar, which provides grants to public libraries so that they can set up solar power for their buildings.

Despite the widespread enthusiasm for cloud-based library services, adoption of them is not evenly distributed around the world. Gashaw Kebede, a freelance consultant in information, communication and knowledge management and previously an assistant professor at Addis Ababa University, highlighted the situation in his own country: 'There are no cloud-based library services implemented by the local academic and research libraries in [Ethiopia] (although some of the international organisations located in the country may have some cloud-based library services). And, to my knowledge, there is no concrete plan or public discussions to introduce a cloud-based library services and management by the institutions usually charged with coordinating such a task in the country (e.g., the Ministry of Education of Ethiopia).

'However, moving to a cloud-based library service is obviously among the top priority in the wish list of every academic library in the country. There is an increasing awareness regarding the specific advantages that moving to the cloud-based library services could bring particularly to the improvement of the services and capacity of the ever-increasing academic libraries located in the public universities of the country.'

There are several factors that he sees in this low adoption: 'In my view, moving to cloud-based library services will not be an easy option to consider by the local academic and research libraries at the moment primarily because of: (a) the poor network infrastructure on the ground to connect to the cloud, and (b) the limited digital resources and services owned by the libraries to justify moving to cloud (less than 100,000 e-books exist among the country's 50+ academic libraries). The majority of the academic and research libraries lack sufficient network connections on the ground even to participate fully in the national research and education network (introduced by the government under the name EthERNet in 2000). Adding to this is the perennial financial constraints that the libraries have to give priority to [over] moving to the cloud.'

Kebede believes that, before rolling out many cloud-based services in his country, there is still work to do in strengthening local digital libraries. 'Of course, achieving these will make it easier to move to cloud-based services and other models of service provisions and resource building in the long run,' he observed.

So, what can vendors of library tools do to help address such challenges, particularly where internet access is less reliable? Gonzalez of EBSCO shared an example of one approach her company has taken with a project in a prison, where access to the wider internet is prohibited: 'We created a local version of our EBSCO Discovery service, so that people who are not connected to the Internet can access their items locally. It is important that we meet all readers, even those who don't have continuous access to the Internet.'

She also acknowledged inequality in the adoption of BIBFRAME. She noted: 'EBSCO helps that issue by making it as easy as possible for people to use this standard. The library sends us their catalogue data and we do the entire transformation and publication for them. Their staff doesn't have to learn the ins and outs of the standard before they get access.'

Observing that language can be a barrier too, she added that EBSCO is working to translate the standard documentation into other languages, working, for example, with libraries in South America and the National Library of Qatar, to translate standard documentation to Spanish and Arabic. She continued: 'Our transformation pipeline that we use to publish this data is completely script and language agnostic; if the data is in a certain language, then we preserve that when we publish the data.'

In addition, there is a need to recognise that standards have evolved differently around the world. 'The MARC standard has many different flavours around the world and so we're also expanding our services to work with all versions.'

So what does the future hold for libraries in the cloud? 'In five or 10 years time I see library catalogues and catalogue data as being completely decentralised.Libraries won't be sharing data based on record systems, but instead they will be able to share more granular pieces of data, for example descriptions of a particular person or publisher or topic. That will enable libraries to expand the power of their data sharing, to understand what they have in common and what is unique to their collections,' said Gonzalez.

The continued move to the cloud in libraries is inevitable, concluded Shaw. 'We're seeing both our university and the wider sector moving far more towards cloud. Even if we in the library said this is not the direction that we want to go in it feels like we'd just be trying to run against the tide. You can either try and turn against it or you can get involved in a way where you try to steer it in the right direction like with the environmental considerations. Embracing cloud has enabled us to think more strategically about how it best fits with the type of library we are the type of university we are and where we where we want to go.'

BranchCache – What It Is and How It Can Help Optimize Your Organization’s Bandwidth Consumption. – TechGenix

Cache on PCB

Organizations across the globe are growing in scale and branching out to serve more people in different geographical areas. Due to this, a need has come up to optimize the request-response cycles in the Wide Area Network (WAN). BranchCache can help with that!

Microsofts BranchCache is one of these enabling technologies meant to optimize organizational bandwidth utilization. In this article, youll learn more about BranchCache and its importance. Ill also talk about its different modes of operation, and show you an installation and configuration guide later on in the article. Finally, Ill discuss its association with the cloud.

For now, lets start with what BranchCache actually is in the first place!

Microsofts BranchCache is a technology that enables remote or local branch offices to cache data or information from central data sources. This allows you to distribute the load and network traffic across your organizations network.

BranchCache also helps in optimizing the WAN as it reduces hotspots surrounding the central data stores. It also helps in avoiding the need of dealing with repeated or duplicated requests to the central servers or principal data centers. After all, these duplicate requests can quickly eat up valuable bandwidth. BranchCache caches portions of data from central data stores into the remote servers or endpoints of the branch offices. In turn, this enables faster data access for the users from these remote sites.

Now that you understand what BranchCache is, lets learn more about its importance and why you need it.

When remote employees try to access corporate data, their productivity gets affected due to network bandwidth limitations and delays in the application or server response times. BranchCache can help you in this regard.

BranchCache helps you improve your bandwidth utilization while reducing the latency and increasing the responsiveness of applications and servers. It facilitates quick access to the file systems stored in a central location by caching data in remote branch offices located at a distance.

It also enables a WAN to behave and function like a LAN. This is because you can process requests locally without having to hit the central servers or data centers for every request.

When someone requests a file from a branch office for the first time, the connection gets redirected to the central data store or server which then serves the request. However, with BranchCache enabled in the background, this request gets cached. In turn, the branch office receives a copy of the accessed file.

In subsequent requests, BranchCache checks the access rights and permissions of the user accessing the resource, ensures that the accessed file/data is still valid, and processes the requests. These requests are then processed locally, resulting in a much faster request-response cycle with lower latency and efficient bandwidth utilization.

Lets now look at the different modes in which BranchCache operates.

You can set up and operate BranchCache in two different modes to better suit your branch office requirements. Choosing a mode depends on various factors such as your infrastructure capabilities, use cases, the clientele, and the mode of operation. Below is a detailed explanation of each of these modes.

The distributed cache mode allows you to distribute the content cache at a branch or a remote office among different client systems. In this mode, every client system hosts and maintains its own cache data. Whenever a new system joins the branch, it can request the data by sending a broadcast over the local branch network.

The hosted cache mode allows you to leverage the server systems in your branch office by hosting the content cache of the whole branch in them. If a new client joins the branch office, every request made gets redirected to the local server hosting the content cache.

Its important to note that you can only choose one of the two BranchCache modes per location. This means that if you have multiple branch offices or sites, you can deploy either the distributed cache mode or the hosted cache mode in each of these sites. You can also choose to deploy two modes in two different locations, allowing you to choose the mode depending on the available resources and requirements at each of your branches.

Next, lets look at how you can install and enable BranchCache in your Windows environment.

The Server Manager in Windows Server allows you to install either the BranchCache feature or BranchCache for Network Files role services depending on the system functionality and the location. For instance, you can install the BranchCache feature in the content servers (web and application servers) located in your main office or cloud data center. On the other hand, you can install the BranchCache for Network Files role services for a file server located in the main office or cloud data center. Alternatively, you can choose to install the BranchCache feature using its hosted cache server mode for the cache servers in the branch office.

You have many ways of implementing BranchCache, so choose the one that best suits your needs.

That said, heres a step-by-step guide on installing BranchCache:

After the installation procedure, youre going to want to know how to configure BranchCache. The next section will tell you how to do just that.

To configure BranchCache, you can use either a Configuration Manager or WSUS to configure clients as well as servers. Ill first talk about how you can configure clients.

You need to configure each client that has BranchCache installed. Typically, Microsoft allows you to make group policies to set up configurations for multiple clients together. Follow the steps below to enable BranchCache on client computers:

Next up, Ill briefly talk about how you can configure servers in BranchCache.

You have three different types of content servers on which you can deploy and install BranchCache. This includes a web-based content server, BITS (Background Intelligence Transfer Service) based application servers, and file server-based content servers. You can configure all three of these servers using WSUS and a configuration manager. If you want to find out the different requirements and configuration options for each of these servers, you can do so here.

Overall, BranchCache is an enabling technology that helps your organization scale-out. On the other hand, cloud computing is also helping companies leverage virtual resources to help them scale. Lets now look at how BranchCache affects the cloud.

Cloud computing is already revolutionizing the IT landscape with ease of setup along with reduced costs. Its also moving large workloads away from businesses, causing strong network dependencies and latency issues.

A majority of the isolated branches or remote offices use cloud technology to stay connected with the central office. They leverage cloud-based connectivity services, data access mechanisms, or even cloud-hosted virtual machines for their operations.

Implementing BranchCache can help all these companies improve their productivity and speed due to the possibility of caching the instances from central data centers locally.

Moreover, BranchCache neither requires any changes in the network topology of the enterprise nor needs any new set of installed hardware for its functioning. It enables the users of remote or branch offices to access resources in an efficient and performant manner through bandwidth optimization and reliable connectivity.

BranchCache really is great, isnt it? Lets have a quick recap.

With companies leveraging cloud technology for branching out and decentralizing the data centers and workloads, network bandwidth consumption, latency, and usability of users are taking a hit. Technologies such as BranchCache can not only reduce network consumption but can help you configure your branch offices in different modes to meet your different needs. In this article, Ive explained what BranchCache is, its importance, and two different modes that you can choose for your branch or remote offices. Ive also detailed installation and configuration guides along with BranchCaches association with the cloud that can help it grow.

Do you have any more questions about BranchCache? Check out the FAQ and Resources sections below!

A Group Policy Object is a virtual collection of multiple policies that you can use to configure one or more clients using different rules and access privileges. A Group Policy Object also serves as a centralized and easy-to-manage configuration system for devices, operating systems, applications, and users in an Active Directory Environment.

A cache server is a dedicated network server capable of acting as a server and providing cached web pages or information to the users. Cache servers can also help speed up the request-response cycle and reduce the load on the central servers. Furthermore, they can assist in dissipating requests among themselves without needing to request information from the server.

BranchCache allows client computers to access content using LAN rather than relying on and using the slower WAN connections. Moreover, it helps reduce the WAN traffic and hotspots around the central systems and provides an easy and fast means of data access to the users.

BranchCache helps your remote devices or branch offices serve as dedicated cache servers when a user makes a request. If these requests get processed without having to hit the primary or centralized servers located in some distant location, the overall request-response cycle gets shortened. This can result in reduced network latency.

A data center is a facility that centralizes an organizations shared IT operations and resources to act as a single source of truth. A data center typically consists of a group of computers along with other associated hardware systems grouped together to store, process, and transmit the data as needed.

It also increases yields, increases throughput, decreases downtime and improves efficiency. Because of the development and rapid spread of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the rapid growth in the availability of data through linked devices and real-time intelligence, it is becoming increasingly popular.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

COVID-19 has put a lot of pressure on governments across the world. The virus has had drastic effects on the health of the populace and has led to millions of deaths. The lockdowns issued by the government to curb the spread of the virus led to industries being closed down and supply chain troubles. Since edge analytics are widely deployed in the retail sector and this was among the most heavily affected sectors due to the lockdowns, the edge analytics market was severely affected.

Market Growth Factors

Adoption Of Connected Devices And Surge In Demand For Prescriptive Analysis

Through the effective integration of data received from connected devices and networking equipment for increased real-time event analysis, organizations all over the world have focused on enhancing productivity and decreasing the maintenance of analytics systems. The market for data edge analytics solutions is expected to expand at a healthy rate throughout the forecast period, due to an increase in demand for real-time monitoring and prescriptive analytical modeling. This contributes to the growth of the edge analytics industry.

Edge Analytics Leads To Lowest Possible Latency

Edge analytics main benefit is that it reduces latency and, as a result, improves overall system performance. Furthermore, it enables users to respond to certain data points more quickly, such as shutting down an overheating jet engine, without needing to check in with a central procedure. Since data is calculated at the edge, it allows application developers to make use of local compute cycles, without incurring network latency. This allows developers to access data in real-time, rather than waiting for it to be uploaded to the cloud, for applications like predictive maintenance, machine learning, and OT management.

Market Restraining Factors

Loss Of Raw Data

The increased efficiency comes provided by edge analytics comes at a price. Only a small portion of the data will be processed and evaluated, with the results being sent via the internet. This essentially implies that raw data is eliminated, which means that some insights that could have been gained are lost. Its important to think about the sort of device and how the data will be used. A retailer may determine that improving data efficiency is more important than sacrificing theoretical data insights, but an aircraft cannot make the same decision.

What Open-Source Tool Is Best to Run VMs in Cloud-Native Environment? – ITPro Today

If you're like many IT pros today, you want to go cloud-native. But you have legacy workloads, like monoliths, that will only run on virtual machines.

You could maintain separate environments for your cloud-native workloads and your legacy ones. But wouldn't it be better if you could find a way to integrate the VMs into your cloud-native setup, so you could manage them seamlessly alongside your containers?

Related: Kubernetes Cloud Growth Continues to Expand Cloud-Native Adoption

Fortunately, there is. This article walks through four open-source solutions for running VMs in a cloud-native environment, with minimal reconfiguration or tweaking required.

Before looking at the tools, let's look at why it's important to be able to run VMs in an environment that otherwise consists of containerized, loosely coupled, cloud-native workloads.

Related: 4 Reasons Why Kubernetes Is So Popular

The main reason is simple: VMs that host legacy workloads are not going away, but maintaining separate hosting environments to run them is a burden.

Meanwhile, transforming your legacy workloads to meet cloud-native standards may not be an option. Although in a perfect world you'd have the time and engineering resources to refactor your legacy workloads so they can run natively in a cloud-native environment, that's not always possible in the real world.

So, you need tools like one of the four open-source solutions described below that let legacy VM workloads coexist peacefully with cloud-native workloads.

Probably the most popular solution for deploying virtual machines within a cloud-native environment is KubeVirt.

KubeVirt works by running virtual machines inside Kubernetes Pods. If you want to run a virtual machine alongside containers, then you simply install KubeVirt into an existing Kubernetes cluster with:

Then, you create and apply a YAML file that describes each of the virtual machines you want to run. KubeVirt executes each machine inside a container, so from Kubernetes' perspective, the VM is just a regular Pod (with a few limitations, which are discussed in the following section). However, you still get a VM image, persistent storage, and fixed CPU and memory allocations, just as you would with a conventional VM.

What this means is that KubeVirt requires essentially no changes to your VM. All you have to do is install KubeVirt and create deployments for your VMs to make them operate as Pods.

If you want to become really committed to treating VMs as Pods, you might like Virtlet, an open-source tool from Mirantis.

Virtlet is similar to KubeVirt in that Virtlet also lets you run VMs inside Kubernetes Pods. However, the key differences between these two tools is that Virtlet provides even deeper integration of VMs into the Kubernetes Pod specification. This means that you can do things with Virtlet like manage VMs as part of DaemonSets or ReplicaSets, which you can't do natively using KubeVirt. (KubeVirt has equivalent features, but they are add-ons rather than native parts of Kubernetes.)

Mirantis also says that Virtlet usually offers better networking performance than KubeVirt, although it's hard to know definitively because there are so many variables involved in network configuration.

What if you don't want to manage your VMs as if they were containers? What if you want to treat them like VMs, while still allowing them to integrate easily with microservices?

Probably the best solution is to connect your VMs to Istio, the open-source service mesh. Under this approach, you can deploy and manage VMs using standard VM tooling while still managing networking, balancing loads, and so on via Istio.

Unfortunately, the process for connecting VMs to Istio is relatively tedious, and it is currently difficult to automate. It boils down to installing Istio on each of the VMs you want to connect, configuring a namespace for them, and then connecting each VM to Istio. For a full rundown of the Istio-VM integration process, check out the documentation.

The techniques we've looked at so far involve taking cloud-native platforms like Kubernetes or Istio and adding VM support to them.

An alternative approach is to take a non-cloud-native platform that lets you run VMs, then graft cloud-native tooling onto it.

That's what you get if you run VMs and containers together on OpenStack. OpenStack was originally designed as a way to deploy VMs (among other types of resources) to build a private cloud. But OpenStack can now also host Kubernetes.

So, you could use OpenStack to deploy and manage VMs, while simultaneously running cloud-native, containerized workloads on OpenStack via Kubernetes. You'd end up with two orchestration layers the underlying OpenStack installation and then the Kubernetes environment so this approach is more complex from an administrative perspective.

Its main benefit, however, is that you'd have the ability to keep your VMs and containers relatively separate from each other because the VMs would not be part of Kubernetes. Nor would you be limited to Kubernetes tooling for managing the VMs. You can treat your VMs as standard VMs, while treating containers as standard containers.

The open-source ecosystem offers a number of approaches for helping VMs coexist with cloud-native workloads. The best solution for you depends on whether you want to take a Kubernetes-centric approach (in which case KubeVirt or Virtlet is the way to go), or you want to allow your VMs to exist alongside containers without being tightly integrated with them (in which case OpenStack makes most sense). And if you just want integration at the network level but not the orchestration level, consider connecting VMs to an Istio service mesh.

Cloud hiring levels in the mining industry rose in June 2022 – Mining Technology

The proportion of mining industry operations and technologies companies hiring for cloud-related positions rose significantly in June 2022 compared with the equivalent month last year, with 46.8% of the companies included in our analysis recruiting for at least one such position.

This latest figure was higher than the 29.8% of companies that were hiring for cloud-related jobs a year ago and an increase compared to the figure of 37.5% in May 2022.

When it came to the rate of all job openings that were linked to cloud, related job postings rose in June 2022 from May 2022, with 5.7% of newly posted job advertisements being linked to the topic.

This latest figure was the highest monthly figure recorded in the past year and is an increase compared to the 3.3% of newly advertised jobs that were linked to cloud in the equivalent month a year ago.

Cloud is one of the topics that GlobalData, from which our data for this article is taken, has identified as being a key disruptive force facing companies in the coming years. Companies that excel and invest in these areas now are thought to be better prepared for the future business landscape and better equipped to survive unforeseen challenges.

Our analysis of the data shows that mining industry operations and technologies companies are currently hiring for cloud jobs at a rate lower than the average for all companies within GlobalData's job analytics database. The average among all companies stood at 6.3% in June 2022.

GlobalData's job analytics database tracks the daily hiring patterns of thousands of companies across the world, drawing in jobs as they're posted and tagging them with additional layers of data on everything from the seniority of each position to whether a job is linked to wider industry trends.
