Confidential computing in public clouds: isolation and remote attestation explained

In the first part of this blog series, we discussed the run-time (in)security challenge, which can leave your code and data vulnerable to attacks by both the privileged system software of the public cloud infrastructure, as well as its administrators. We also introduced the concept of trusted execution environments and confidential computing, (CC), as a paradigm to address this challenge.

The Power of IT Automation Empowers You | Puppet Enterprise

With Puppet, the power of IT automation empowers you. Learn more at puppet.com.

Accelerate IT/OT convergence in Industry 4.0 [Part II]

Welcome to Part II of this three-part mini-series on bridging the gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) in Industry 4.0. In Part I, we set the stage for the remainder of the series and gave an overview of IT and OT, the two technological layers of modern industrial factories. In this blog, we expand on that knowledge by confronting the two domains and discussing the automation pyramid concept.

How To Unlock Granular Kubernetes Cost Metrics
