    With continued concerns regarding IT’s ability to meet the demands of the business in light of disruptive influences and a changing economic landscape DevOps might hold an answer.

  • A Distributed Access Control Architecture for Cloud Computing

    Cloud computing’s multitenancy and virtualization features pose unique security and access control challenges. In this article, authors discuss a distributed architecture based on the principles from security management and software engineering to address cloud computing’s security challenges.

  • Managing Security Requirements in Agile Projects

    Managing security requirements from early phases of software development is critical. Most security requirements fall under the scope of Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs). In this article, author Rohit Sethi discusses how to map NFRs to feature-driven user stories and also how to make security requirements more visible to the stakeholders.

  • An Implementer’s View of Cloud Computing Readiness Assessments

    Are Cloud Computing Readiness Assessments a red herring or a valuable tool to help management decide if the organization is ready to adopt?

  • Results from InfoQ 2012 User Survey

    In February, we launched the 2012 InfoQ User survey to gauge community interest in various topics, technologies, and practices. 2,850 people completed the survey, with thousands of respondents providing detailed feedback on their areas of interest. The following report summarizes some of our key findings, things that surprised us, and reactions/analysis from members of the InfoQ editorial team.

  • Welcome to the Future, Your PaaS has Arrived

    This Article by Lucas and Adron dives into NoOps, DevOps, and how they relate to PaaS. Then with a short context description of what led to this technology it takes a look at the premier open source solution Cloud Foundry - what makes it tick, the architecture, and a simple deployment of an application. Along the way it also steps into the core concepts behind Platform as a Service.

  • Lessons For IT From The Early Days of the FBI
