To find oneself flung from peace and tranquility into a cauldron of greed and unbridled passion can be quite disconcerting. And if you are a young man on the path of discovery and understanding of life, it could be most demotivating and even disheartening. But when you're out to take life by the horns, you obviously have to come to grips with it. So it was with Madhav. Propagating the theory of 'Karma' and displaying his faith in unconditional devotion to honest and sincere work, he fought temptation and let no ambition come in the way of his chosen path. In the process, hurdles of unsolicited romance and offers of huge monetary gains came his way but assisted by his caring wife, he earned the respect of his peers and senior colleagues. Problem situations unraveled themselves with his help and, true to his belief and conviction, he found himself amply rewarded without his ever having to struggle for it. A thought provoking story with its beginnings in the city of Delhi in the early1980s. Very contemporary inasmuch as people, especially in India where it is based, can easily relate to it.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 6th International ICST Conference, SecureComm 2010, held in Singapore in September 2010. The 28 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 112 submissions. They are organized in topical sections on malware and email security, anonymity and privacy, wireless security, systems security, network security, and security protocols.

Here's what you get in this book: - 500+ practice questions from all 14 domains, including databases (DynamoDB etc.), security, load balancing (ELB), queueing (SQS), architectural best practices and risk management - Key metrics you need to memorize, e.g. what is the default max number of SQS messages? - Compact format: easy to read, easy to carry, so you can study on-the-go Now, you finally have what you need to crush the certification exam, and land that dream job. About The Author Zack Austin has been building large scale enterprise systems for clients in the media, telecom, financial services and publishing since 2001. He is based in New York City.

This text provides a process oriented discussion of the theory, methodology and philosophy of geologic and mine modelling using two commercial software packages: Techbase, a leader for mineral exploration and modelling bedded deposits; and Lynx, for modelling geology.

TCP/IP Illustrated, an ongoing series covering the many facets of TCP/IP, brings a highly-effective visual approach to learning about this networking protocol suite. TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2 contains a thorough explanation of how TCP/IP protocols are implemented. There isn't a more practical or up-to-date bookothis volume is the only one to cover the de facto standard implementation from the 4.4BSD-Lite release, the foundation for TCP/IP implementations run daily on hundreds of thousands of systems worldwide. Combining 500 illustrations with 15,000 lines of real, working code, TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2 uses a teach-by-example approach to help you master TCP/IP implementation. You will learn about such topics as the relationship between the sockets API and the protocol suite, and the differences between a host implementation and a router. In addition, the book covers the newest features of the 4.4BSD-Lite release, including multicasting, long fat pipe support, window scale, timestamp options, and protection against wrapped sequence numbers, and many other topics. Comprehensive in scope, based on a working standard, and thoroughly illustrated, this book is an indispensable resource for anyone working with TCP/IP.

The Internet is quickly becoming the backbone for the worldwide information society of the future. Point-to-point communication dominates the network today, however, group communication--using multicast technology--will rapidly gain importance as digital, audio, and video transmission, push technology for the Web, and distribution of software updates to millions of end users become ubiquitous. Multicast Communication: Protocols and Applications explains how and why multicast technology is the key to this transition. This book provides network engineers, designers, and administrators with the underlying concepts as well as a complete and detailed description of the protocols and algorithms that comprise multicast. * Presents information on the entire range of multicast protocols, including, PIM-SM, MFTP, and PGM and explains their mechanisms, trade-offs, and solid approaches to their implementation * Provides an in-depth examination of Quality of Service concepts, including: RSVP, ST2, IntServ, and DiffServ * Discusses group address allocation and scoping * Discusses multicast implementation in ATM networks * Builds a solid understanding of the Mbone and surveys the successes and current limitations of real multicast applications on the Internet such as videoconferencing, whiteboards, and distance learning

The way developers design, build, and run software has changed significantly with the evolution of microservices and containers. These modern architectures offer new distributed primitives that require a different set of practices than many developers, tech leads, and architects are accustomed to. With this focused guide, Bilgin Ibryam and Roland Huss provide common reusable patterns and principles for designing and implementing cloud native applications on Kubernetes. Each pattern includes a description of the problem and a Kubernetes-specific solution. All patterns are backed by and demonstrated with concrete code examples. This updated edition is ideal for developers and architects familiar with basic Kubernetes concepts who want to learn how to solve common cloud native challenges with proven design patterns. You'll explore: Foundational patterns covering core principles and practices for building and running container-based cloud native applications Behavioral patterns that delve into finer-grained concepts for managing various types of container and platform interactions Structural patterns for organizing containers within a Pod for addressing specific use cases Configuration patterns that provide insight into how application configurations can be handled in Kubernetes Security patterns for hardening the access to cloud native applications running on KubernetesAdvanced patterns covering more complex topics such as operators and autoscaling
