The main emissions are produced by burning fossil fuels for energy generation, transportation and industrial production. Another big source of […]

Patterns III – How to start

After discussing the theoretical background why patterns are useful in common IT-architectures in our first post and discussing the various levels of utilizing patterns in section two, we will now dive a little deeper and look how a pattern can be applied for a practical business problem. Requirements Let us assume we have an application […]

Patterns II – The Approach

ˈpætɚns Image source https://vecteezy.com/ Recap In the first article, we discussed the need for patterns as an architectural paradigm, in order to achieve re-usability across complex environments such as Hybrid Cloud scenarios. We identified the benefits of a pattern based approach. We talked about automation, Hybrid Cloud, and about organizational aspects We’ve learned that patterns […]

Patterns – A Path Towards Hybrid Cloud

ˈpætɚns Probably almost every time we are starting to understand and to solve a general problem, we will ask ourselves, am I the first one who is facing that problem, or have there been others who in the end either failed or succeeded. This is particularly true, if I am highly uncertain whether my own […]

Security aspects with OpenShift – an overview

Today more than ever availability and performance depend on resilience against increasingly frequent and powerful attacks on the confidentiality, availability and integrity of information and IT systems. It is not just that our systems are being threatened with continuous automated attacks, but also with highly sophisticated approaches, such as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), Ransomware, Side […]
