"Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions. Configuration files describe to Terraform the components needed to run a single application or your entire datacenter. Terraform generates an execution plan describing what it will do to reach the desired state, and then executes it to build the described infrastructure. As the configuration changes, Terraform is able to determine what changed and create incremental execution plans which can be applied. The infrastructure Terraform can manage includes low-level components such as compute instances, storage, and networking, as well as high-level components such as DNS entries, SaaS features, etc. The key features of Terraform are: Infrastructure as Code: Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and treated as you would any other code. Additionally, infrastructure can be shared and re-used. Execution Plans: Terraform has a "planning" step where it generates an execution plan. The execution plan shows what Terraform will do when you call apply. This lets you avoid any surprises when Terraform manipulates infrastructure. Resource Graph: Terraform builds a graph of all your resources, and parallelizes the creation and modification of any non-dependent resources. Because of this, Terraform builds infrastructure as efficiently as possible, and operators get insight into dependencies in their infrastructure. Change Automation: Complex changesets can be applied to your infrastructure with minimal human interaction. With the previously mentioned execution plan and resource graph, you know exactly what Terraform will change and in what order, avoiding many possible human errors."

"In this post I want to summarize all resources I found about scalaz or related to scalaz that are actually approachable by beginners."

"A great resource (PDF document) about big data, originally posted on CTOvision.com."

"At Codacy we chose Scala to build our infrastructure. But not all the engineers that we hire are Scala experts. Scala isn't hard to learn, and good engineers usually pick it up very quickly. We've tried a lot of resources and here is a quick overview of what we recommend to learn Scala."

"The motivation for adding security to Apache Hadoop actually had little to do with traditional notions of security in defending against hackers since all large Hadoop clusters are behind corporate firewalls that only allow employees access. Instead, the motivation was simply that security would allow us to use Hadoop more effectively to pool resources between disjointed groups. Larger clusters are much cheaper to operate and require fewer copies of duplicated data."

"Complete and usable DNS library. All widely used Resource Records are supported, including the DNSSEC types. It follows a lean and mean philosophy. If there is stuff you should know as a DNS programmer there isn't a convenience function for it. Server side and client side programming is supported, i.e. you can build servers and resolvers with it."

Arquillian brings the test to the runtime so you don't have to manage the runtime from the test (or the build). Arquillian eliminates this burden by covering all aspects of test execution, which includes: Managing the lifecycle of the container (or containers) Bundling the test case, dependent classes and resources into a ShrinkWrap archive (or archives) Deploying the archive (or archives) to the container (or containers) Enriching the test case by providing dependency injection and other declarative services Executing the tests inside (or against) the container Capturing the results and returning them to the test runner for reporting

"A model (developed by Leonard Richardson) that breaks down the principal elements of a REST approach into three steps. These introduce resources, http verbs, and hypermedia controls."

"Clocker features: Automatically create and manage multiple Docker hosts in cloud infrastructure Intelligent container placement, providing: resilience fault tolerance easy scaling maximum resource utilisation of hosts maximum application performance Use of any public or private cloud as the underlying infrastructure for Docker Hosts Deployment of existing Brooklyn/CAMP blueprints to Docker locations, without modification."

"Buck is a build system for Android that encourages the creation of small, reusable modules consisting of code and resources. Because Android applications are predominantly written in Java, Buck also functions as a Java build system. Learn more about the strategies Buck uses to build Java code so quickly."

"OSIN is an OAuth2 server library for the Go language, as specified at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749 and http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-10. Using it, you can build your own OAuth2 authentication service. The library implements the majority of the specification, like authorization and token endpoints, and authorization code, implicit, resource owner and client credentials grant types."

"Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS) is a highly scalable, high performance container management service that supports Docker containers and allows you to easily run applications on a managed cluster of Amazon EC2 instances. Amazon ECS eliminates the need for you to install, operate, and scale your own cluster management infrastructure. With simple API calls, you can launch and stop container-enabled applications, query the complete state of your cluster, and access many familiar features like security groups, Elastic Load Balancing, EBS volumes, and IAM roles. You can use Amazon ECS to schedule the placement of containers across your cluster based on your resource needs and availability requirements. You can also integrate your own scheduler or third-party schedulers to meet business or application specific requirements."

"AngularJS service to handle Rest API Restful Resources properly and easily"

DRBL (Diskless Remote Boot in Linux) is a solution to managing the deployment of the GNU/Linux operating system across many clients. Imagine the time required to install GNU/Linux on 40, 30, or even 10 client machines individually! DRBL allows for the configuration all of your client computers by installing just one server machine. DRBL provides a diskless or systemless environment for client machines. It works on Debian, Ubuntu, Mandriva, Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS and SuSE. DRBL uses distributed hardware resources and makes it possible for clients to fully access local hardware.

"Unlike most client libraries dealing with HAL REST APIs, Hybind provides a high-level approach similar to what Object Relational Mapping (ORM) frameworks are for databases. When using Spring Data REST in the server, it is amazing how the amount of code to write is reduced to a minimum. However, a significant amount of repeated boilerplate is still required in the JavaScript client to manipulate the resources and map them to the client-side model. That's why this library exists. It enriches plain JavaScript objects with a convenient API so that performing REST requests is as easy as calling methods directly on the model objects. It is optimized for Spring Data REST, but should work with other HAL APIs following similar conventions."
