Brian Krebs Fan Creates New Cryptocurrency Miner for Linux Devices [Ed: Catalin Cimpanu should clarify this works only in machines that are already compromised]

This new trojan — detected by Dr.Web under the name Linux.BTCMine.26 (BTCMine in the rest of this article) — mines for the Monero cryptocurrency and targets only the x86-64 and ARM hardware architectures. [...] To mine Bitcoin efficiently, users need specially optimized hardware rigs.

Bare Metal Kubernetes: More Containers, Less Overhead

Earlier this month, I spoke at ContainerDays, part of the excellent DevOpsDays series of conferences -- this one in lovely Portland, Oregon. I gave a live demo of Kubernetes running directly on bare metal.  I was running it on an 11-node Ubuntu Orange Box -- but I used the exact same tools Canonical's world class consulting team uses to deploy Kubernetes onto racks of physical machines.
