Container Security
epub | 3.67 MB | English | Liz Rice | 2020
Description: Many organizations now run applications in cloud native environments, using containers and orchestration to facilitate scalability and resilience. But how do you know whether your deployment is secure? To fully grasp the security implications of containers and their operation, you'll need an understanding of what they are and how they work. In this excerpt from her forthcoming book Container Security, author Liz Rice takes you through the mechanisms that isolate and protect your applications within each container.
This book as a whole looks at the building blocks and security boundaries commonly used in container-based systems and how they're constructed in the Linux operating system. In the featured chapter, "Container Isolation," you'll learn how namespaces limit the set of files and directories that particular container processes can see, functionally isolating them from other operations.
Learn how a container is actually a Linux process with a restricted view of the machine it's running onExplore the different namespaces typically used to create Linux containersExamine how containerized processes are isolated from the host and other containerized processes

Gilbert Szlumper and Leo Amery of the Southern Railway The Diaries of a General Manager and a Director
epub | 6.66 MB | English | John King
Description: Very few diaries of directors and senior managers of the Big Four railways have survived to enter the public domain. There are, however, two notable Southern Railway diarists whose records have been available in archives for some years, but have been largely ignored by historians; Southern Railway General Manager Gilbert Szlumper and Director Leopold Amery. Their remarkable diaries are addressed in this insightful book, which gives a slightly different view of the company in contrast to the almost sanitized histories by some writers.
The surviving diaries of Szlumper are far from complete. They begin in 1936 and continue into the war years, but there are several gaps. Throughout, Szlumper comments on individuals and developments, revealing little-known facts and the circumstances that meant he could never truly achieve his potential. Formally retiring in 1942, he died in 1969, after which his diaries entered the public domain.
Leopold Amery was director of the Southern...

K2 THE SAVAGE MOUNTAIN THE CLASSIC TRUE
epub | 1.78 MB | English | Charles Houston, Robert H. Bates
Description: When eleven climbers died on K2 on August 1, 2008, it was a stark reminder that the world's second-highest mountain has, for more than a century, been regarded as the most difficult and dangerous of all-for every four people who reach the top, one dies in the attempt. K2, The Savage Mountain tells the dramatic story of the 1953 American expedition, led by Charles S. Houston, when a combination of terrible storms and illness stopped the team short of the 28,251-foot summit. Then on the descent, tragedy struck, and how the climbers made it back to safety is renowned in the annals of climbing. K2, The Savage Mountain captures this sensational tale with an unmatched power that has earned this book its place as one of the classics of mountaineering literature.

Description: The Man in the High Castle meets Pacific Rim in this action-packed alternate history novel from the award-winning author of United States of Japan and Mecha Samurai Empire .
NO ONE SURVIVES AN ALLIANCE WITH THE NAZIS. NOT WITHOUT USE OF FORCE.
Seattle, 2019. After a severe injury, ace mecha designer and pilot Reiko Morikawa is recruited to a secret organization plotting a revolt against the corrupt governor (and Nazi sympathizer) of the United States of Japan. When their plan to save the USJ from itself goes awry, the mission is only saved from failure because the governor is killed by an assassin known as Bloody Mary. But the assassin isn't satisfied with just the governor.
Bishop Wakana used to be a cop. Now he's an agent of the Tokko, the secret security officer. Following the trail of a Nazi scientist, Bishop discovers a web of weapons smuggling, black market mecha parts--and a mysterious assassin. This killer once hunted Nazis but now seems to be targeting the USJ itself. As the leaders of the United States of Japan come to realize the devil's bargain they made in their uneasy alliance with the Nazis, Bishop and Reiko are hot on the trail of Bloody Mary, trying to stop her before it's too late. **
