Influencer: Medienanstalten empfehlen #Werbung

“#Sponsored” oder “#ad” reicht nicht, stattdessen sollte etwa unter Bildern oder Videos ausdrücklich “#Werbung” stehen: Die Medienanstalten der Länder haben ihren Leitfaden für Youtuber und andere Influencer überarbeitet. (Soziales Netz, Onlinewerbung)

Accelerate websites with Azure CDN using Dynamic Site Acceleration

Users expect fast, reliable, and personalized web experiences independent of their browser, location, device, or network. However, the very innovations, such as rich interactive content and applications, that make these experiences so engaging also slow page downloads and put the quality of the consumer experience at risk. Standard CDN capability includes the ability to cache files closer to the end users to speed up delivery of static files. However, this does not help to improve the loading speed of dynamic web applications and APIs, which return unique data to each user along with request that cannot be cached. With Azure CDN Dynamic Site Acceleration (DSA), the performance of web pages with dynamic content is significantly improved.

DSA includes a variety of techniques that benefit the latency and performance of dynamic content.

Route / network optimizations: The fastest and most reliable path to your origin to retrieve and deliver dynamic content is constantly evaluated. Content is delivered using optimized network protocols and by using the optimal network delivery path to ensure Internet congestion points and unnecessarily long routes are avoided.

TCP optimization: Internet communications over TCP are not optimized for performance. With DSA, a number of TCP optimizations are applied to improve the performance of the delivery, such as keeping connections open longer and reusing them for additional requests. These optimizations accelerate connection setup, increase the packet transmission rate, and reduce packet loss.

Resource prefetching (Akamai only): Based on user behavior and access patterns, the CDN learns which assets are required by the application and preemptively fetches content from origin and brings it closer to the user so it can be delivered faster.

Adaptive Image Compression (Akamai only): Continuously monitor internet conditions to identify slower network connections, to automaticaly compress and resize JPEG images to deliver the most optimal image based on connection speed.

To learn how to use this feature and for more details, please visit the documentation page.

DSA is available today as an optimization on top of an Azure CDN from Akamai. This feature will be coming to Verizon standard and premium profiles in the near future. Note that there are additional fees associated with the DSA optimization type, unlike the media and large file optimization types which are available without additional cost.

Introducing IBM Cloud Automation Starter Library

Some IT operators have trouble keeping up with increasing demand for more capabilities and higher efficiency. Many lack access to the skilled resources needed to automate all the tasks necessary to keep up with the faster pace.
There is no standardized set of automation instructions that fits every cloud platform. Creating end-to-end automation that can deploy and manage workloads can be difficult to do with existing tools. It can get complicated and expensive—and you might face the risk of losing control of workloads. How can IT operators handle these challenges?
Introducing the IBM Cloud Automation Starter Library. The starter library contains automation building locks that help IT operators deploy a select set of cloud-native payloads. This library is delivered as a service at no cost through IBM Cloud Automation Manager.
The automation building blocks deploy components on any cloud supported IBM Cloud Automation Manager. They can be further customized using IBM-recommended tooling and guidelines. Users can receive library updates by synchronizing their repositories with Cloud Automation Manager Hub.
Some of the automated deployments you can perform include:

MEAN stack
LAMP stack
Kubernetes cluster with NGINX
Three-tier Strongloop

You can take back control of your multicloud environment, save time, and always stay up-to-date. Our starter library will help you accelerate your cloud-native workload deployments. Get started at no cost today. Learn more about IBM Cloud Automation Libraries on our website.
If you’d like to go behind-the-scenes for a deeper look at what Cloud Automation Manager can do for your business, check out this blog post.
