How do you feel about this probably being most used by bad actors trying to screw with society and elections?

VR will change that at some point. Even in today's infancy, there are some VR apps that give you that sense of presence with all the other tools needed and then some (whiteboards, screen-sharing, projecting your desktop on a huge screen, etc...)

yeah, but your configs aren't fully portable between cloud providers when you look at things like LBs, storage, etc..

Re:Now 2.0 on Friday November 09, 2018 @01:40PM (#18416733)
Now v2 requires a fundamental change in how development happens and how the application is architected. It is too prescriptive.

VM/Containers allow people to develop and structure the app however they want, largely decoupled from deployment/infra.

I don't understand how many people have no issue being told to rewrite your apps so they fit inside lambdas...

Re:Cloud Identity on Wednesday March 21, 2018 @11:30AM (#16638906)
Google Identity is not going to be the right solution for integration with other AD/LDAP stores.

Really big companies will often have multiple AD/LDAP identity stores with enterprise grade provisioning systems (Sailpoint, Oracle Identity Manager) to keep accounts in sync.

This offering from Google is meant as a replacement for AD/Exchange(obviously) for companies that are mid-small. It also offers provisioning to other apps but only those that support SAML Just-In-Time provisioning. I did not immediately see a way to add custom apps to this (for provisioning), so might be limited to just the OOTB apps they provide (List: https://support.google.com/cloudidentity/topic/7661972)

Auth0 today offers SAML integrations and if the target system supports JIT Provisioning, it will work the same as google.

And just to clarify, Google's offering is 100% meant for internal users (employees, anyone that you'd give a Google Apps account to)

I still don't really understand the benefit of an Ingress controller versus just a Service > Nginx Deployment.
