    ABOUT THE HEARTBLEED BUG

    Have you checked your heart lately? Good.
    How about your OpenSSL library? No? Well, you should.

Briefly, all services that employ HTTPS and use the buggy OpenSSL library are exposed to sensitive information leaks.

    When it comes to pushing the boundaries of speed, one has to rethink the basic concepts of the backend storage technology. And if we want to talk about cloud elasticity, one has to wonder:

    How can I spawn a VM with 100GB System Disk in seconds?
    Or a cluster of 100 VMs in a few minutes?
