The rise of containers sparks #GIFEE and changes the world
This may sound a bit like an older technology called virtualization, but tools like DC/OS and Kubernetes takes things much further. For one, they can run massive quantities of software far more efficiently than virtualization ever could. “The magic of the container world is that the computational overhead is far less than full virtualization,” says Mike Stoppelman, the senior vice president of engineering at Yelp, which now runs its operation at DC/OS. “Even today, moving around a 20 megabyte container is so much easier than moving a 100 megabyte virtual image … and the network traffic created by this stuff is an order of magnitude less.”

Good article that covers the basics of the new containerized world and serves as an introduction to the concept of “Google infrastructure for everyone else” #GIFEE. I think this is the future.

Flaws detected in the Owncloud encryption module
First it is important to understand what this encryption module is actually supposed to do and understand the threat scenario. The encryption provides no security against a malicious server operator, because the encryption happens on the server. The only scenario where this encryption helps is if one has a trusted server that is using an untrusted storage space.

A good read, but also worth noting that encrypting data at rest on a server is rarely bullet proof anyway. If an attacker can get access to the server they can decrypt the data. I wouldn’t even bother encrypting the data store for something like Owncloud anyway since the data is at the end of a long chain where significant security is needed. For example, is the local copy of the data encrypted? Is the web component using HTTPS? Are Owncloud accounts secure with long passwords and 2FA? Is access to the sever running Owncloud properly secure with very limited access? Encrypting data at rest in Owncloud is the least of my worries.
