Cloud Plus CV0-002: Reloaded

Creator of MEA, Artem D, helped write Cloud+ exam with 14 other #CompTIASME s

Last week I represented Heraldic at another Cloud+ workshop in CompTIA HQ. I was one of the fourteen Subject Matter Experts who wrote the questions for the new version of the exam, CVo-oo2.

CV0-002 prepares the next generation of cloud administrators for a career in the industry.

The Cloud has revolutionized how we develop applications and powers anything from blockchain to Artificial…

On April 9 2018 a German blockchain company Lisk had an inaugural meeting in Seattle, WA with the guest speaker Artem D, the CEO of Heraldic.

As Blockchain is becoming more easy to use in development, we at Heraldic identified some areas that need this revolutionary technology. So without further ado, here are, for you to swipe through, the new projects that Artem spoke about in Seattle:

Cryptocoin

We’ve seen the rise and fall of Bitcoin and altcoins. We believe the next great cryptocurrency still needs to be developed. One that is truely accepted by the masses. Mass adoption as a medium of exchange  is what will really increase the value of this crypto, not current speculations on the crypto market. But there are problems to be solved to overcome the wide adoption of digital currency:

Scalability – the longer the blockchain, the slower it is to process each transaction;

Network fees AKA miners’ compensation – with Bitcoin hitting $18,000 last December each transaction accrued a pretty hefty fee in the dollar amount.

The bubble myth – Bitcoin is not the bubble, the Dollar is.

The coming of the next-gen “Cryptocoin” is long overdue. Centralized banking is outdated and needs a replacement. Instead of greedy bankers we now have miners, and anyone can become one.

Digital currency is a way to free us as individuals from corporate greed. Once Wall Street, too-big-to-fail banks and our National debt cause an economic collapse we all are going to feel it. That’s why it’s safer to keep your long-term savings in a decentralized currency. The Blockchain limits the number of cryptos so we cannot “print” more money and thus cause inflation. So by the time the Dollar devaluates the ratio of USD to BTC will surge past a million USD per BTC!

As for the nivestors, hold on to your cryptos, guys! The world economy is close to a collapse. When that happens you will become millionaires! Remember, unlike the centralized banking currencies Bitcoin does not inflate!

Cryptostock

Take a digital currency and base its value on the value of a company – all of its assets contributing to the equity, defining the price of a cryptostock.

The motive behind this form of shares is the same as with digital currency – decentralization. A share needs not be sold by brokers for wolfy fees. With cryptostock the shareholder and the corporation are their own stock exchange!

Harnessing the power of blockchain, we will soon see the coming of the world’s first cryptocorporation!

©ryptoright

A blockchain dapp that protects intellectual property in all forms – whether it be copyright, patent or trademark – will help fight piracy and plagiarism!

Musicians will be able to distribute their tracks encrypted with their signarure, fighting those who try to resell their content without permission.

Scientists will combat plagiarism of their work.

Inventors will have a proof of their rights to an invention in addition to a national patent registry.

Ladis and gentlemen, the Cryptoright©.

True Privacy Policy

As Mise En Abyme is a VDI for the masses, it is superimportant for us to enforce our users’ privacy policy. That’s why we turn to blockchain to deliver the only privacy policy you can trust.

Big corporations claim your data is protected – but how can we actually trust that they won’t sell our data to third parties, the NSA or to Russia?

True Privacy Policy will encrypt access to your data on the blockchain, making it tamper-proof, no hacker, agency or even Heraldic Clouds will have the ability to spy on you.

Benevolent AI

Visionaries like Elon Musk have warned us about the coming of a rogue AI. We’ve long been intimidated by sci-fi scenarios involving malevolent AIs.

Skynet wiped out the humanity. The Matrix enslaved it. SHODAN from System Shock despised all organic lifeforms as insects.

What do these antagonists have in common? None of them used the blockchain!

By combining Deep Learning with the decentralized apps approach we will build a neural network that can only be trained by legitimate data. No one will bw able to hack into the AI’s backend – not the developer, not a hacker not the AI itself!

This is the service that allows developers and AI researchers to train immutible AIs – powered by the blockchain – Benevolent AI.

Last week was I took a break from building new Mise En Abyme cloud GPU servers and attended another Cloud+ exam workshop where I was invited by CompTIA. As always it was a great experience, both contributing to the test content and learning new cloud stuff I could potentially use to improve MEA. I’m back in Florida now, greatly missing my exploration of Illinois. You know this reflective bean…

Cloud Meets Food Fest #CompTIASME

Heraldic Clouds is back in Illinois helping with CompTIA’s new version of Cloud+ that is set to be released in February 2018. At CompTIA’s HQ we are coining new exam content with fueled by a generous breakfast lunch and dinner, a usual day of a CompTIA SME (Subject Matter Expert) Can’t tell you much about the details of the exam, folks. We are under an oath of an NDA. So study up and get…

The cloud hype Mise En Abyme is growing at an explosive rate since Heraldic introduced the MEA mobile app in January 2017. The cloud desktop beamed to a smartphone has now attracted the attention of the tech giants at Nvidia’s annual exhibition GPU Technology Conference.  This year, among other areas, GTC focused on Virtual Reality (with presenters like Virtual Radiology), Artificial Intelligence/Deep Learning (H20) and Driverless Cars (Intrepid Control Systems, Inc.) From booths to posters and from sessions to instructor-led labs, GTC sets the standards for the research of futuristic technologies like VR and AI. Think of GTC as an event where you get to try demos of games, software or beta tests before they go mainstream.  Hundreds of new products were revealed this May in Silicon Valley.

In The Course Of Last 30 Years We’ve Improved Microprocessor Performance By Nearly A MILLION Times. 1,000,000 Times! Nothing In Society Has Improved By A Million Times And Everything In Society Has Been Made Possible Because Of This Fundamental Advance.

The poster reads: Phase I: Free public beta. From April 2014 to August 2014 we developed a technical prototype for a Web Development class at Valencia College In April2015 we ran our first public beta test. In Fall of 2015 we started our second beta and in 2016 it became the free demo (MEA Newbie service) We used an open-sourced program Guacamole as our app server to provide remote desktop connections via a web browser. Our infrastructure uses AWS. It consists of: 1. Web server, 2. App server 3. Virtual machine running meaOS. Phase II: Personal cloud DaaS. Unlike other cloud services, with MEA you host not only your files, but computing power and the operating system. As hardware and the Internet are merging together, the dawn of Web 3.0 is inevitably coming. A semantic web is only one side of the next version of the Internet, MEA is another key modification that makes it possible to blend hardware, operating system, graphics and TCP/IP. This is made possible by the advancements in 1. GPU technology (Nvidia GRID and Elastic GPU feature of AWS) 2. Broadband/cellular Internet speed increase. Phase III: Virtual hardware as a service. We are developing an additional feature that will enhance a user’s physical device with cloud hardware. The feature will use a VPN connection between a MEA cloud desktop and a client device. Then the OS will recognize the device’s remote storage as a locally attached partition. The CPU, GPU and RAM will work seamlessly to execute software installed on the remote drive. MEAOS: In addition to being a cloud gaming DaaS, MEA features a fiber-optic gigabit internet speed and a Linux-based meaOS.

Mise En Abyme’s glass-and-mirror themed poster was the only research artwork in graphics virtualization category that was featured by Nvidia this year. Artem D, the CEO of Heraldic, revealed his research at the extravagant poster reception.

The first of the Three Phases of MEA is the free cloud desktop project. The free edition, christened Newbie, has been in production since January 2017 and has been a phenomenal success, however Heraldic planned something far greater than bringing the industry-standard DaaS service to the public. The next Phase of the project is a GPU-accelerated gaming cloud supercomputer. The new edition called Eleet (from the internet-slang “eleet hacker”) is projected for a release in late 2017. Eleet will be making use of Nvidia GRID technology (Tesla M60 GPUs) to render the virtual desktop and the apps installed on the virtual desktop. This is a dangerous path only Heraldic was brave enough to pursue. A Bring-your-own-games approach is seen as a security violation to giant corporations, but the startup Heraldic sees it an inevitable evolution if gaming. This a game changer, essentially Eleet moves your gaming rig to the cloud with the privilege to download and install any PC game, mod, trainer, SDK, even edit the game’s files, ergo creating a full sense of ownership, enabling gamers to do anything on their cloud PC that they would expect to do on a physical PC.

The predecessors of Eleet all have allowed only app virtualization and game streaming.  Nvidia GeForce Now, for instance, is great if you have a large Steam library, and LiquidSky offers many free AAA titles if you watch interactive ads. The gamer’s niche, however, is far from being conquered. Modders, old-school gamers and power gamers want the whole desktop experience.

NVIDIA GPUs are widely used in the enterprise for VDI and 3D workstations. Mise En Abyme Eleet introduced a way to utilize 3D-accellerated VDI for non-enterprise users.

But Artem sees yet another revolution of cloud GPUs. Phase III of Mise En Abyme: Virtual Hardware as a Service. Essentially VHaaS utilizes cloud GPU, CPU, RAM and networking for processing of data stored on a local physical storage medium – forwarding the hard drive to an Eleet virtual desktop and beaming back the freshly rendered image. This Cloud-in-Reverse approach is the first to offer physical possession of end-user’s data while performing all data processing on the server side.

The VHaaS feature of Mise En Abyme is hinted to be called ‘Nebula Computing’, on analogy with ‘cloud computing’ but of a more astronomical scale.

As you see Heraldic is brewing some innovative gizmo. GTC2017, in the word of Artem D, was “a life-changing experience. After attending GTC2017 we at Heraldic are going to explore new horizons, particularly cloud VR”.
