Latest Cloud, Data, DevOps Technologies

CloudThe concept of cloud started in the early 2000s piggybacking on the Internet boom. The actual popularity stated in 2010 onwards when large scale deployments of networked servers started moving into the consumer space. Cloud computing has now become on the most exciting technologies being rapidly adopted by large enterprises across the world. Could computing traces its origins from distributed computing and distributed storage. Virtualisation technologies have provided a hug boots to cloud computing making it truly affordable at a consumer grade. Today’s server technologies are getting increasingly implemented on the cloud with physical Data Centers migrating several services to cloud based providers. Bare metal servers are increasingly being used as a collection of Virtual machines. Over the last decade Cloud services has seen amazing growth. This has been enabled by the availability of high speed broadband internet and intranet and a combination of these services has given rise to Software as services and Micro-services within large consumer facing applications. Cloud services have also seen steady evolution to address high availability, high performance and data and identity security. Cloud services had its initial hiccups for adoption both by consumers and enterprise customers. It is fascinating to see how cloud services…
DevOpsDevOps has become a hot topic over the last decade as computing has increasingly become distributed and cloud based. The traditional model of slow stages from coding to testing to build and deploy has been found to be in adequate to serve the need of rapid development across sites and across time zones. With the Agile process production level code will have to be built and deployed on multiple servers and VMs across data centres and cloud zones. The configuration management of software application code and other resources, build management and runtime environment during deployment are getting highly complex and therefore require a seamless pipeline. This pipeline needs to be automated to reduce human error and also to deploy new applications and update old ones on maybe thousands of servers and VM instances in a large cloud service. This is where the confluence of Software Development (Dev) and IP Operations (Ops) happen and this crucial function has been named DevOps. Unlike yesteryears when an application used to run on a single , sometimes proprietary tech stack, modern applications on server side and cloud services leverage multiple tech stances , libraries and runtime environments. Runtime environment creation is therefore itself automated…

Machine LearningMachine learning Machine Learning is a term that has been used in Mathematics, Statistics and Computer science for quite a few decades. It traces itself back almost for a century in Mathematics. The primary objective of Machine Learning is to make an inference about an even based on certain input values. Students of statistics could immediately relate to probabilistic determination of outcomes of events based on certain input parameters while students of Mathematics could identify this with linear algebra and matrix transformations.

Server Tech
Web ClientWhenever we are using any software application today, we would be using a client server technology in 90% o fetch cases. Your re using a client on your browser as you read this article and a server at the back end that is serving this web page. The browser client on your mobile or PC or Mac is fetching the right content page form etc server based o the URL on the address bar of your browser. This is a wonderful way to understand how a web client works – your browser itself. Traditionally web client used to serve pages that are programmed with Hyper texts which essentially means that unlike a normal text file where all written characters are displayed on the page, pages that are marked with Hyper texts (also called HTML) when displayed on a web browser will not display all text characters contained in the page. An HTML page consists of two kinds of texts : normal texts and hyper texts are essentially marked with some escape characters like “” which signify that the texts contained within such escape characters will bemused as a code to instruct your browser client what, where and how…
Mobile DevDevelopment of applications on mobile had started since the advent and adoption of smartphones. It has seen phenomenal growth as applications both on consumers and enterprise sectors have increased. While early mobile applications were stand alone on device – todays mobile phones work as connected device to the internet and therefore most mobile applications leverage cloud services and other server based technologies to access and update data. Mobile applications now cover everything from payment systems to food ordering to health , lifestyle and fitness. Mobile applications alas provide a great way to monetise your application ideas and also content. While the hardware of mobile phones are manufactured by a large number of companies, the OS of mobile phones are clearly divided into only two flavours : the iOS and Android. Both Apple and Google have their own Application repository the App Store and GooglePlay. It has therefore become imperative for Mobile application developers to develop their applications on both these OS platforms and publishing in respective applications repos. iOS applications have ben traditionally been developed using Objective C which many have found cumbersome and a difficult learning curve. Apple thereafter came up with Swift that offers an mazing developer IDE…
