"Cloud storage abstraction package for Go"

"Apache Hama is a pure BSP (Bulk Synchronous Parallel) computing framework on top of HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) for massive scientific computations such as matrix, graph and network algorithms. Today, many practical data processing applications require a more flexible programming abstraction model that is compatible to run on highly scalable and massive data systems (e.g., HDFS, HBase, etc). A message passing paradigm beyond Map-Reduce framework would increase its flexibility in its communication capability. Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) model fills the bill appropriately. Some of its significant advantages over MapReduce and MPI are: * Supports message passing paradigm style of application development * Provides a flexible, simple, and easy-to-use small APIs * Enables to perform better than MPI for communication-intensive applications * Guarantees impossibility of deadlocks or collisions in the communication mechanisms"

"Internet Routing: It's a program (well, a daemon, as you are going to discover in a moment) which works as a dynamic router in an Internet type network (that is, in a network running either the IPv4 or the IPv6 protocol). Routers are devices which forward packets between interconnected networks in order to allow hosts not connected directly to the same local area network to communicate with each other. They also communicate with the other routers in the Internet to discover the topology of the network which allows them to find optimal (in terms of some metric) rules for forwarding of packets (which are called routing tables) and to adapt themselves to the changing conditions such as outages of network links, building of new connections and so on. Most of these routers are costly dedicated devices running obscure firmware which is hard to configure and not open to any changes (on the other hand, their special hardware design allows them to keep up with lots of high-speed network interfaces, better than general-purpose computer does). Fortunately, most operating systems of the UNIX family allow an ordinary computer to act as a router and forward packets belonging to the other hosts, but only according to a statically configured table."

"Joyent Triton™ is designed from the ground up to radically simplify container deployments in production, at scale, while delivering enterprise-grade security, software-defined networking, and bare-metal performance. Deploy Triton Elastic Container Infrastructure in your datacenter or leverage the Triton Elastic Container Infrastructure Service in the Joyent Public Cloud."

"Prometheus is a capable self-hosted solution which is easier to manage than sensu. Sysdig cloud on the other hand provides us with another hosted service much like Scout and Datadog."

SequenceIQ is a new Hortonworks Technology Partner and recently achieved HDP and YARN Ready certification for Cloudbreak, the SequenceIQs Hadoop as a Service API. In this guest blog, SequenceIQ Co-founder and CTO Janos Matyas (@sequenceiq), describes provisioning and autoscaling HDP cluster with Cloudbreak. During our daily work at SequenceIQ, we are provisioning HDP clusters on different environments.

"Stackato is a secure, stable, and commercially supported Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that is built with and on top of various open source components such as Cloud Foundry and Docker."
