Infrastructure Security at Google

По

January 30, 2017

Google infrastructure is designed to ensure that information is secure throughout its entire lifecycle. Security within Google infrastructure encompasses several layers and concerns the deployment of services, the storage of data, inter-process and external communications, up to operational concerns.
Physical Layer
At the physical layer, security is ensured by:
Service deployment
At the service level, Google does not assume any trust between services running on the same infrastructure. This has a number of important consequences for service identification, authorization, and data privacy and integrity, including the following:
Data storage
Google uses encryption both at the application and the drive level. Indeed, before being stored to disk, data is encrypted using a central key management service that provides audit logs, automatic key rotation, etc. Additionally hard drives and SSDs additionally use hardware encryption and are only reused after a thorough multi-step erase process.
Internet communication
Google infrastructure is isolated from the internet and only a subset of machines are exposed to external traffic. The cornerstone of Google approach is the Google Front End (GFE), which provides a registration and publication services for all internal services that are available on the internet. GFE ensures that TLS termination is handled correctly, enforces best practices, and provides Denial of Service (DOS) protection by acting as a reverse proxy. DOS protection is effectively enforced through a dedicated, central service that oversees all incoming requests at the load balancer and can instruct it to drop or throttle attack traffic.
A key step to secure internet communication is user authentication, that manifests itself through Google login page and is backed by a central identity service. As it may be widely known, Google authentication does not rely only on username and password bu challenges any login attempt for additional information such as the device that is used, its location, etc. For increased security, Google authentication also offers support for two-factor authentication.
Additional aspects of securing Google infrastructure concerns operational security, which deals with how software is created, with protecting employees’ machines and credentials, and protecting against possible threats from insiders and external actor.
A lot more of details are available on Google web site, including a list of pointers to documents covering specific areas in great detail.

Docker for AWS Now Generally Available

По

admin

January 30, 2017

Docker Inc. launched end of last year into public beta its answer to Amazon ECS : an AWS-compatible service for managing and orchestrating Docker containers. Now, Docker for AWS is generally available.
With its public beta announcement, Docker Inc. noted several new enhancements. All container logs are now shipped to AWS CloudWatch for improved aggregation, analytics, reporting and monitoring, reducing the need for using SSH to log into individual hosts. The service also comes with a diagnosis tool, which can be used to facilitate support. Furthermore, a new option allows selection of a broader range of root volumes, which means that host-local SSDs are now available. A demo of Docker for AWS is available.
When InfoQ asked Docker Inc. about how Docker for AWS compares to Amazon’s ECS, Suzanne Panoplos, director of corporate communications, explained:
Docker for AWS is built and shipped by Docker Inc. Releases are synced with regular Docker releases, so with Docker for AWS you can always get the latest and greatest Docker version.
Docker for AWS sets up a standard Docker environment with swarm mode enabled. That means you can use Docker’s built-in secure and high-performance orchestrator, without extra configuration steps. Docker with swarm-mode capabilities is available for use on any infrastructure. ECS uses its own scheduler designed for use only in an AWS environment. ECS uses different tools than what those developing with Docker are used to: e.g. to deploy apps with ECS, you cannot use `docker` or `docker-compose`, but have to use the ECS CLI which doesn’t support the same things as the open-source Docker tools.
At the time of writing, Amazon ECS supports versions of Docker up to 1.12.6 , although the latest stable release of the Docker Engine at the time of writing is 1.13.0.
Although Docker for AWS is a managed service, it provides the full breadth of the Docker CLI (via SSH). Amazon ECS may require significant effort to implement any scheduling beyond the rudimentary. To address this shortcoming, Amazon recently introduced Blox , a scheduling framework for ECS. Blox ships with two components, a daemon-scheduler, which executes a task on every container, and a cluster-state-service, which monitors an SQS queue for CloudWatch events emitted from ECS and provides convenient, current state for scheduler components through a REST API. This provides the foundation for building more complex scheduling capabilities across the cluster.
However, Docker does not plan to add support for Blox in Docker for AWS. According to Panoplos, “Docker for AWS uses Docker’s built-in swarm-mode orchestration and scheduling and has been developed based upon the feedback and requirements of our millions of users.” Instead of support for Blox, Docker has been collaborating with Amazon on decoupling its core container runtime, containerd , which it hopes will be used by Blox in the future.
Before its GA release, the public beta announcement was a follow-up to Docker’s previously announced private beta program for Docker for AWS, which integrated with AWS Elastic Load Balancing and EC2 Security Group and KeyPair security features.

Washington (CNN) Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina broke the GOP silence on Capitol Hill on Sunday to issue a scathing condemnation of President Donald Trump’s ban on travel to the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries.
The joint statement of former presidential candidates John McCain & Lindsey Graham is wrong — they are sadly weak on immigration. The two…
… Senators should focus their energies on ISIS, illegal immigration and border security instead of always looking to start World War III.

Microsoft's market value exceeds $500 billion for the first time since 2000

По

admin

January 30, 2017

Microsoft has crossed the $500 billion mark in terms of market value after having last attained it nearly 17 years ago. The company beat Wall Street’s expectations again for seven out of the last eight quarters owing to strong growth in cloud services and Office.
Previously, the Redmond company had reached the milestone back in March 2000 with a market cap of over $550 billion when the Internet was still evolving from its early stages. As it stands now, the market cap for the company stands at $510 billion with shares at an all-time high of $65.78, representing a growth of 2.1%.
This growth can be attributed to Satya Nadella, who took over the reins of the company in 2014 when its market capitalization was $315 billion. His «cloud first, mobile first» vision became a mantra for a reinvigorated Microsoft. While he has been criticized for his handling of the phone division , almost every other aspect of the company has witnessed growth with cloud leading from the front. The Surface line, brainchild of former CEO Steve Ballmer, really came into its own under Nadella and made the company exciting again. The company’s acquisition of LinkedIn also took place under Nadella’s watch, which led an analyst to predict that the firm «will be the first ever trillion dollar company».
Further bolstering Microsoft’s recent performance, RBC Capital Markets analysts wrote:
The corporation still lags its rivals in market cap — Apple ($642 billion) and Alphabet ($570), but it’s a bright outlook nonetheless with 27 of the 37 analysts covering the stock rating it «buy» or higher, two rating it «strong sell», while eight had a «hold» rating.

Op-Ed: US became a dumping ground for the world. No more

По

admin

January 30, 2017

America ‘s shift toward bilateral trade deals shows a total loss of faith in the ability of multilateral forums (G7 … G20) and U. N. agencies (IMF, etc.) to rebalance the world economy through effective international policy coordination.
That was long time coming — a sad coda to the global economic (political) and financial order created at the Bretton Woods Conference in July 1944. It is at that time that the economic policy coordination was enshrined as one of the fundamental principles in the IMF’s Articles of Agreement, enjoining both surplus and deficit countries to balance out their external trade positions.
What followed – to this day – has been an unending comedy of errors, recriminations and hypocrisy as policy coordination and rules of a sustainable free trade were shunned in pursuit of self-serving national interests.
Predictably, surplus countries refused to adjust (i.e., to reduce their surpluses by running stronger domestic demand to boost imports), extolled their «economic virtue» and continued to live off their trade partners.
A drag on world economy
But deficit countries had no choice; they had to adjust (i.e., to reduce their deficits by shrinking their domestic demand and cutting down their imports) because they ran out of money and had to submit to foreign lenders demanding strict conditions with respect to the timing and magnitude of their trade adjustment.
And here is the world we ended up with.
Germany is currently running the world’s largest trade surplus of $300 billion. China is not very far behind with a $264 billion surplus. Japan ‘s $200 billion surplus is rapidly catching up with its large Asian neighbor, and a group of smaller export-driven East Asian countries is showing a steadily rising surplus of $300 billion.
These countries account for 40 percent of world GDP, but their combined trade surpluses of $1 trillion represent about 80 percent of the world’s total. In other words, nearly half of the world economy is a drag on the rest of the global demand, output and employment.
Do you still wonder why the world economy is stuck in a hopelessly slow lane?
With its systematic half-a-trillion dollars of quasi structural trade deficits, the U. S. accounts for 40 percent of the world’s total (trade deficits) and bears the brunt of what some would call beggar-thy-neighbor trade policies. In a more polished diplomatic «G something» language, you could also call that a «collateral damage» of uncoordinated global economic policies.
Damage it is. Over the last two years, these trade deficits have taken an entire percentage point out of America’s sluggish economic growth. Think also of the huge downward pressure on output and employment these deficits exerted, and continue to exert, in our import-competing industries.
And think of this, too. While the surplus countries keep accumulating reserves and net foreign assets by recycling the money we pay for our imports, our trade deficits got us to a huge net foreign debt of $7.8 trillion during the first three quarters of last year – a $1 trillion increase from the same period in 2015.
Stages of truth
People carping about imaginary trade wars say that this is nothing to worry about. They believe that China, Japan and the rest of «dynamic Asia» will keep lending us the money we pay for their imports, and that they will be happy to hold $2.7 trillion of our IOUs – 46 percent of the total held by foreign investors — as they did at the end of last November.
These, of course, are fairy tales. America’s trade problems are urgent and vitally important policy issues.
The irony is that the process of correcting our dangerously unsustainable foreign trade positions may also turn out to be like Schopenhauer’s three stages of truth: «First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. »
Aha, some of my European friends tell me, yes, maybe you have a trade problem (sic), but the solutions are for you to save more and to follow the German retort to President Trump: «Produce better cars. » These Europeans thought they had a winning punch-line by repeating the mantra that «protectionism and retreating from the global trading system are not the solutions. »
Ouch, I thought, the White House bruiser got the daylight scared out of them.
America has been building and leading an increasingly free multilateral trading world for the past 70 years. For all that – partly through its own negligence – it ended up holding the bag as a dumping ground and the world’s buyer of last resort.
No more. From now on, the trade free-riders will have to deal with America’s crushing bargaining power in closely monitored and promptly terminated bilateral free-trade deals. All that, I suppose, will be based on principles of reciprocity and on the WTO trade rules.
The impact of this new trade policy should be unambiguously positive for the U. S. economy. Incoming foreign direct investments are likely to rise quickly and substantially as foreign manufacturers move to protect their American market shares. Provided due attention is paid to local content provisions, these investments would boost output and employment. The expected corporate tax adjustments would also stimulate local production by both domestic and foreign companies.
World economy should also benefit. Changing the growth model in trade surplus countries from external to domestic demand would raise growth rates through higher private consumption, business investments and public spending on infrastructure, education, healthcare and social welfare services. All the large surplus countries need this sort of policy change.
Investment thoughts
America’s new emphasis on bilateral agreements will affect the direction of global trade flows, but that need not – and probably will not – lead to falling volumes of world trade.
Of all the large surplus countries, Germany will face serious trade adjustment problems owing to strong centrifugal forces within the European Union. Berlin will also find it hard to redirect its exports from the U. S. to the sanctions-alienated Russia and an increasingly competitive and difficult Chinese market.
China will have an easier time selling exports along its Belt&Road trading route, where some 50 countries are virtually captive markets for its goods, services and investments. Beijing can also use whatever excess capacity it might have in its large domestic development projects to manage massive urbanization, and to improve the livelihoods in the country’s less developed central and western regions. At any rate, China’s growth model has decisively moved away from exports to domestic demand.
Japan, for its part, will have to make adjustments in order to fully deploy the manufacturing of final products and spare parts in the U. S.
If properly managed, Washington has a unique chance to rid the world of excessive trade imbalances and beggar-thy-neighbor policies of deeply entrenched export-driven growth models.
America is poised for sustainably stronger growth, but labor market policies bear watching for any investor counting on steadily rising asset values in an environment of price stability. The manpower supply has to be raised by bringing into the labor force those 7.3 million people stuck in part-time jobs, or without a hope of finding a job, and the 1.8 million of long-term unemployed.

Machtkampf zwischen SPÖ und ÖVP in Österreich beendet

По

admin

January 30, 2017

Der Machtkampf in Österreich ist gütig beendet. SPÖ und ÖVP wollen wieder an einem Strang ziehen. Ein Arbeits-Pakt soll die Koalition bis zum Herbst 2018 retten.
Die Regierungskrise in Österreich ist beendet. SPÖ und ÖVP haben sich nach Angaben von Vizekanzler Reinhold Mitterlehner (ÖVP) auf ein aktualisiertes Arbeitsprogramm und damit auf eine Fortsetzung der Zusammenarbeit geeinigt.
Die seit Ende 2013 regierende rot-schwarze Koalition war nach einem Ultimatum von Bundeskanzler Christian Kern (SPÖ) in der vergangenen Woche in ihre bisher tiefste Krise geschlittert.
Der Regierungschef hatte mit dem Ende der Zusammenarbeit gedroht, sollten sich die Bündnispartner nicht endlich zu einem konstruktiven Miteinander durchringen. Fünf Tage lang rangen Spitzenpolitiker von sozialdemokratischer SPÖ und konservativer ÖVP dann um einen Pakt für einen Neuanfang.
Grundlage der weiteren Zusammenarbeit für die nächsten 18 Monate bis zum regulären Wahltermin im Herbst 2018 soll ein Arbeits-Pakt mit gemeinsamen Projekten auf verschiedenen Politikfeldern sein.
Details zu dem Pakt wollte Mitterlehner zunächst nicht mitteilen. Es handle sich um ein «relativ umfangreiches und gutes Programm», hieß es lediglich. Auch die Finanzierung sei geklärt, versicherte Finanzminister Hans Jörg Schelling (ÖVP).
Die Einigung auf einen Neustart der Koalition hält die rechte FPÖ zumindest vorerst von der Macht fern. Bei Neuwahlen hätten die in Umfragen führenden Rechtspopulisten gute Chance auf den Kanzlerposten gehabt. Die Demoskopen sehen sie bei 29 bis 34 Prozent.
In den acht Monaten seit dem Amtsantritt von Kern haben die Sozialdemokraten ihr Stimmungstief verlassen und rangieren ihrerseits laut Umfragen bei 26 bis 29 Prozent.

Wirtschaft: GESAMT- Trump verteidigt Einreiseverbote — weltweit Sorge

По

admin

January 30, 2017

WASHINGTON/BERLIN (dpa-AFX) — US-Präsident Donald Trump hat sein Einreiseverbot für viele Muslime verteidigt — trotz internationaler Besorgnis und einer bremsenden Gerichtsentscheidung. Auch sein Stabschef Reince Priebus betonte, es gebe nichts, wofür man sich entschuldigen müsse. Dagegen hält auch Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel (CDU) den Bann, der massiv vor allem Flüchtlinge trifft, für falsch.
Kritik kam ebenfalls aus Trumps eigenen republikanischen Reihen: Die prominenten US-Senatoren John McCain und Lindsey Graham warnten, dass Trumps Erlass eher Terroristen neue Munition liefern könne statt die USA sicherer zu machen. In vielen US-Städten protestierten auch am Sonntag wieder Tausende Menschen gegen Trumps Dekret, so in New York, Washington, Boston und Los Angeles.
Trumps Verfügung hatte Hunderte Menschen in Verzweiflung gestürzt und zu chaotischen Szenen auf zahlreichen Flughäfen geführt. Bürgerrechtsorganisationen erreichten in der Nacht zum Sonntag aber einen wichtigen Teilsieg vor einem Bundesgericht. Demnach dürfen nach der Trump-Verfügung vom Freitag auf US-Flughäfen gestoppte und festgehaltene Menschen zumindest vorerst nicht in ihre Heimatländer zurückgeschickt werden. Dieser Spruch einer New Yorker Richterin legt nahe, dass der Erlass zumindest in Teilen gegen die US-Verfassung verstoßen könnte.
Mit unserem Rechner finden Sie schnell die aktuellen Heizölpreise. Zum Rechner
Trump twitterte am Sonntag: «Unser Land braucht starke Grenzen und extreme Kontrollen, JETZT. Schaut euch an, was in Europa und der Welt passiert — ein entsetzliches Chaos! «. Sein Sprecher Sean Spicer sagte dem Sender ABC, mit dem Trump-Erlass solle sichergestellt werden, dass einreisende Menschen den USA keinen Schaden zufügten. Das Dekret sei der erste Schritt auf dem Weg zu schärferen Kontrollen, die der Präsident im Wahlkampf versprochen habe.
Sowohl Spicer als auch Priebus sprachen von insgesamt 109 Menschen, die nach dem Erlass bei ihrer Ankunft auf US-Flughäfen festgehalten worden seien. Schätzungen von US-Medien lagen etwa doppelt so hoch. Priebus erklärte, dass Dutzende der Ausländer mittlerweile freigelassen worden seien und weitere noch im Laufe des Sonntags «herausgelassen» würden. Genauere Zahlenangaben dazu machte er nicht.
Regierungssprecher Steffen Seibert erklärte am Sonntag in Berlin, die Kanzlerin habe ihr Bedauern über Trumps Entscheidung am Samstag in einem 45-minütigen Telefonat mit dem neuen Amtsinhaber im Weißen Haus ausgedrückt. «Sie ist überzeugt, dass auch der notwendige entschlossene Kampf gegen den Terrorismus es nicht rechtfertigt, Menschen einer bestimmten Herkunft oder eines bestimmten Glaubens unter Generalverdacht zu stellen. »
Kritik kam auch vom neuen Außenminister Sigmar Gabriel. «Es ist nicht unsere Politik in Europa, Menschen aufgrund ihrer Herkunft oder Religionszugehörigkeit zu stigmatisieren. Darüber hinaus ist der Schutz von Flüchtlingen, wie in der Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention festgelegt, ein völkerrechtlich bindendes Gebot, das nicht zur Disposition gestellt werden darf», heißt es in einer am Sonntag veröffentlichten Erklärung Gabriels und seines niederländischen Kollegen Bert Koenders.
Trump hatte als ein Kernstück seines Anti-Terror-Kampfes einen 90-tägigen Einreisestopp für Menschen aus den mehrheitlich muslimischen Ländern Syrien, dem Iran, dem Irak, dem Sudan, Somalia, Libyen und dem Jemen verfügt. Flüchtlinge aus aller Welt sind für 120 Tage ausgesperrt, jene aus Syrien sogar auf unbestimmte Zeit. Trump will die Verbote erst dann wieder aufheben, wenn «angemessene» Überprüfungsmechanismen sicherstellten, dass keine «radikalen islamischen Terroristen» in die USA gelangten.
Die Verfügung löste Schock, Verzweiflung und Verwirrung auf internationalen Flughäfen aus. Vielfach wurden Menschen trotz gültiger Visa kurz vor ihrer Abreise oder bei Zwischenaufenthalten auf dem Weg in die USA gestoppt. Andere strandeten nach ihrer Ankunft in den Vereinigten Staaten: Sie waren zum Zeitpunkt von Trumps Dekret am Freitagnachmittag (Ortszeit) schon auf dem Weg in die USA und wurden bei ihrer Ankunft in Gewahrsam genommen.
Sie dürfen nach dem New Yorker Gerichtsspruch nun zunächst nicht zurückgeschickt werden, sofern sie im Besitz eines gültigen Visums oder einer Greencard sind, den Schutzstatus des Flüchtlingsprogramms der USA genießen oder eine andere offizielle Einreisegenehmigung haben.
Der New Yorker Richterspruch gilt landesweit. Es war zunächst nicht klar, ob alle Festgehaltenen auf freien Fuß gesetzt werden müssen. Bürgerrechtsorganisationen bereiten Klage zur grundsätzlichen Anfechtung des Dekrets vor. Am Ende dürfte der Rechtsstreit vom höchsten US-Gericht entschieden werden — eine vermutlich langwierige Prozedur.
Das US-Heimatschutzministerium kündigte an, den Vorgaben von Richterin Ann M. Donnelly zu folgen. Zugleich betonte die Behörde aber, dass der Einreisestopp grundsätzlich weiterbestehe. Die US-Regierung behalte sich das Recht vor, Visa jederzeit zu annullieren, wenn dies zur Aufrechterhaltung der nationalen Sicherheit notwendig sei.
Weltweit äußerten sich Menschenrechtler empört über Trumps Verfügung. Es gab auch erste politische Konsequenzen: Der Iran lässt nach eigenen Angaben nun selbst keine US-Bürger mehr einreisen. Außenminister Mohammed Dschawad Sarif betonte jedoch via Twitter, alle Amerikaner mit gültigem Visum seien weiter herzlich willkommen.
Regierungssprecher Seibert sagte in Berlin, die Bundesregierung werde «prüfen, welche Folgen die Maßnahme der US-Regierung für deutsche Staatsbürger mit doppelter Staatsangehörigkeit hat, und deren Interessen gegebenenfalls gegenüber unseren amerikanischen Partnern vertreten».
