For many years, major software companies like Microsoft and Oracle made previously
unfathomable profits by selling enterprise software that companies would buy and
operate in their own data centers. In the last 20 years, we have seen a gradual transition
to a wide variety of software and services models – SaaS, IaaS, PaaS...

For many years the RHCE from Red Hat has been based on managing
services on a single Red Hat host. The big question is: how many RHCEs
manage just a single host? With that in mind, Red Hat has updated the
exam and training to support Ansible, allowing you to learn to manage
many hosts.
The mid-twentieth century saw a change in paradigms of art history: iconology. The main claim of this novel trend in art history was that renowned Renaissance artists (such as Botticelli, Leonardo, or Michelangelo) created imaginative syntheses between their art and contemporary cosmology, philosophy, theology, and...
Harness the untapped potential of combining a decentralized Internet of Things (IoT) with the ability to make predictions on real-world fuzzy data. This book covers the theory behind machine learning models and shows you how to program and assemble a voice-controlled security.
Go beyond the basics of Rust and build web and serverless cloud applications. The applications explained in this practical book include web sites, RESTful APIs, a real-time web chat application, and frontend application with WebAssembly. Each chapter is organized in the following format: what this kind of application looks...
The advent of the Internet has allowed for many services and applications, most
notably in communications between users, servers, and devices. Unfortunately,
this has led to many security challenges and problems. Recent examples include
password leakage on large social network sites and defacement of websites. It is,
therefore,...
This first chapter is a primer on how virtualization is used to
create a software-defined data center (an SDDC) . One of the
central pillars of the software-defined data center is the use of
software defined networking (SDN). To better understand
NSX-T (VMware’s SDN solution), it is best to first understand
the...
This book introduces you to the world of data science. It reveals the proper way to do data science. It covers essential statistical and programming techniques to help you understand data science from a broad perspective. Not only that, but it provides a theoretical, technical, and mathematical foundation for problem-solving using data...
Philosophical questions, when first encountered by the uninitiated, often
seem either silly or meaningless. Why is there something rather than
nothing? Do physical objects continue to exist when nobody is perceiv-
ing them? Does it make sense to say “this sentence is false”? What is
beauty? This book boldly adds a new...
