I would say everyone should raise a glass to Microsoft for this move.

They've been doing such a good job the last year or two. Very impressive.

The focus of CORD as explained in the article is to find a solution using virtualization at a cloud level for the last mile.

I got nothing like that at all out of that article.

That's what it read like to me. They service providers need to upgrade the 'last mile' and are looking to do it with cloud type virtualization. This way they can still maintain a very wide range of supported equipment while maintaining up time.

I'll be interested to see how "truly" open this all becomes. Even though it is an open source project, SmartBear Software actually acquired/owns Swagger as of late-September. That's the same umbrella company that acquired SoapUI (open source API testing tool) a few years back. I think (and believe) they will handle it tactfully, but it's a tough balance to figure out between corporate revenue and open, community-based projects like this.

Of course UEFI comes with its own risks, as we have recently seen, so it is more imperative that you trust your hardware maker when using UEFI. Not that trusting them wasn't always essential, but their toolkits for being naughty have expanded.

NFSv4 is only for security, typically you want to avoid this in a production virtualization environment. You would want to be on NFSv3 for performance reasons.

Not good man, not good.
