In 2020 news of HP’s digital transformation was buried under an avalanche of dramatic headlines. Nevertheless, quiet transformation stories abound. You just need to know where to look. Here is the Dev Portal's slate of Top 10 videos that show the digital transformation in action. From Chandrakant Patel's pencil sketches of a Tesla to illustrate what he calls a "cyber-physical" world, to Maria Lohan and Florian Hihai, who show that Marketing can pull its weight with DevOps.
When the pandemic canceled their third global DevOps Summit, organizers adapted and took the event virtual. They transformed a 3-day face-to-face gathering into a series of half-day Zoom presentations spread over two weeks. Keynotes speakers from outside HP rounded out presentations by HP Software Counsel members and DevOps leaders who want to close gaps between software development (Dev) and software operations (Ops).
In order to provide a more secure access to the BIOS, HP introduced Sure Admin on commercial systems. HP Sure admin depends on a cryptographically secure infrastructure, the Secure Platform Management (SPM), previously released in the BIOS to support features such as HP Sure Run and Sure Recover.
Value of print - In a world where screen media gets all the buzz, paper can lament, "I don't get no respect." Everyone says, "Paper is going away." Yet a steady 100 million printers sell every year. What can you do with a worldwide installed base of about half a billion printers?
After 32 years in HP, Robert "Bob" Taylor, Distinguished Technogist and Systems Architect, is leaving HP. But before he turned in his laptop and accepted his Gold Badge, Bob put down his best advice for HP's success in an increasingly cloud-connected world. His insights are simple, yet insightful, pointing out that HP's hardware-oriented mindset will make things complicated for cloud-connected "cyber-physical" devices. And do we really need firmware?

Elasticsearch can store, scale, search and analyze humongous amounts of data in near real time. It is usually used in applications that have complex search features. But it can also be used to retrofit legacy apps that lack heavy duty search. You can add search to a legacy app running on a MySQL database by bringing up Elasticsearch as a secondary data store to handle the search load. The relational database remains the single source of truth while Elasticsearch rips through searches, giving a legacy database value that it never had before.
In the summer of 2019, AWS announced support for using Regex Expressions for their WAF CloudFormation Templates. However, at introduction, no one had figured it out from a solely CloudFormation solution. In this post Toul DeGuia-Cranmer explains what can (and cannot) be done through editing the CloudFormation WAF template.
At the HP Developer Program, our full-stack codemeister, Damon Kaswell, is practically a-twitter about Flutter. Though not yet a full-fledged expert, Damon has become our resident Flutter evangelist, quick to crow about a growing flock of features and ravin' about its ability to compile across platforms, though by some measures it can't outfly Swift.
Software coders of HP! Who are we? How great is our tribe? Where do we live? What is our work? Here at the Developer Program, these are not rhetorical questions. We really want to know, so we fed all of our 4,000+ registered HP users into an HR database, and this is what we discovered. If you have ever registered on our Developers Portal, you can find yourself represented in these charts.
Every developer using APIs faces “Auth” hurdles. First comes Authentication (“AuthN” in developer speak), which verifies a user’s identity. Once over the identity hurdle, the next gate to clear is Authorization (“AuthZ”). However, HP has half a dozen competing authorization systems. The Developer Program wants to make things easier for developers. The proliferation of authorization standards and system in use across HP today is one of the main hurdles we are working to remove.
“HP is trying to deal with the ever-growing complexity of who can access what, when and from where. This challenge has reached a whole new level as businesses expand and merge their boundaries and support new regions. Role-based access controls can’t keep up.” In a webcast video, the Common Web Platform (CWP) team brings HP developers up to speed on emerging authorization policies. A workshop on Oct. 9, 2019 at the HP Vancouver site will hammer out a strategy.
A team of DevOps software engineers is leading a “grassroots” effort to build a shared CI/CD pipeline service that encapsulates best practices and security tooling for all HP software teams. They named their cause HP CodeWay. CodeWay’s goal is to offer a centralized, standardized, but non-bureaucratic pipeline service that will free up those people to spend more time adding features to their products. A company-wide check uncovered almost 50 pipeline services – each with its own set of people maintaining their unique solution. CodeWay intends to free teams from having to maintain their own pipeline.
For legions of open source developers, Octocat is familiar as the mascot of GitHub, a SaaS platform for Source Code Management that lets a developer collaborate through code. To give its developers the most popular tools, HP IT licenses the corporate version of GitHub – called GitHub Enterprise (GHE). Greg Harriett invites you to join the HP GitHub community on Yammer.
I recently took on the role of Cloud Security advocate for HP's Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) team. I saw first-hand that preparing a team to be interested in security is a daunting task, especially when the team’s imperative is to deliver software fast. Here are some simple steps that you can follow to get your team engaged.
The full title of this post should have been "How to Add OWASP 10 Web Application Firewall to an Application Load Balancer for Kubernetes Clusters and EC2 Instances in Amazon Web Services." But that was a little much to take in all at once. So let's unpack it a bit to show you how to fortify your clusters and instances against the most common cyber attacks.
HP PrintOS is a cloud-based system that connects HP's Graphics devices. In this short, introductory video, Dave, our PrintOS architect, shows how device manufacturers can connect their devices to PrintOS and send real-time status.
The question of which is better – building a new software framework or utilizing an off-the-shelf one – always leads to an endless argument. Both parties will try to prove why their side of the argument is right.
Kops is a popular open source tool that makes it easier to provision and deploy Kubernetes clusters in Cloud Service Providers. However, Kops probably cannot achieve a one-size-fits-all security solution. Use of kops may vary, so you should be aware of default security choices and know how to configure the security to your needs. In this article I'll show you how to run kube-bench against a kops provisioned cluster and how to change the cluster spec to add additional security to the provisioned k8s cluster.

The world is awash in data. It is overflowing data centers and pooling into data lakes. There is a tendency to dump everything into the lake – device data, usage data, financial data. As homes get smarter - we may soon put everything, even the kitchen sink data, into our data repositories. A data lake can quickly become enormous, but if it is all unstructured, it isn’t a lake. It’s a swamp. Cloud Software R&D Director Gaurav Roy explains how HP is keeping its data lakes clean to enable Artificial Intelligence implementations.
Second post in the Zombieload Special series. In this post, we consider an alternate way of working with security bulletins and the HP Client Management Script Library.
This the inaugural post in a Zombieload Special series. Here's how you can leverage the HP Client Management Script Library and a little bit of your own PowerShell magic to quickly identify whether your platform needs a softpaq mentioned in a security bulletin.
Have you ever laid in bed at night and realized the garage door was wide open? HP Tech Lead C.K. Fong decided he should be able to control his garage door using Alexa for far less than the cost of commercial voice controllers. So as a software R&D engineer who likes to automate his house, he used a Wemos D1 Mini microcontroller, similar to the popular Arduino Uno, to trick Alexa into thinking the garage door was a light bulb. "Alexa...turn off the garage door."
One of the oldest axioms about innovation states, "Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door." HP developer C.K. Fong shows how he reinvented the trap by adding a remote control IP camera, a mobile app, and automatic email alerts.
Ah, the drama of pair programming! Arguing over what needs to be done. Fighting over how to do it. Bickering over coding style or test completeness. Will Hertling offers some do-it-yourself couple's counseling for paired programmers.
Humans have great difficulty reading and transcribing shortened URLs that contain a random assortment of numbers and letters in upper and lower case. To give users URLs that are easy to type and transcribe, avoid switching keyboards and types of characters more than once, use a separator character to create subgroups, and eliminate ambiguous characters. Human-friendly URLs are ideal for printed materials and anywhere shortened URLs are needed.

Docker is now all the rage in the field of containerization and as a consequence is a target for attack. Although Docker does have some security defaults set right out of the box, those defenses may not be enough to prevent attacks. This article explains how to use Docker Bench for Security to tweak Docker settings in keeping with recognized best practices.
HP Developer and science fiction writer Will Hertling has been watching how new people on his team pick up software development -- specifically Ruby/Rails. He sees two markedly different approaches, which he calls Surface Learning and Deep Learning. Both have their place.
March 8 is International Women’s Day, and HP is going the extra mile by stretching the day into an entire week of activities. Here at the HP Developers Program, we asked ourselves, “Who is our all-time favorite woman software developer?” The answer came back Margaret H. Hamilton, former NASA software lead for the Apollo space program.
Most web service are built on a microservices architecture with test-driven development. That makes sense for most large-scale, mature applications, but it may by counterproductive for rapidly evolving prototypes. Senior software engineer and science fiction writer Will Hertling explains why.
The idea that you can design an API without writing code seems somehow backwards, like putting the cart before the horse. But “full lifecycle API engineering” is an emerging field with a new set of tools that let you do just that. You don’t need to hammer nails to design a house. Neither do you need to code to initially design and document an API.
In the first week of December, thousands of teachers and volunteers around the world gave millions of student their first exposure to computer coding in Hour of Code events. But what happened after the Hour of Code events were over? A new teacher's guide provides a path forward: Computational Thinking {and Coding} for Every Student.

In his years pioneering Augmented Reality at Aurasma and now HP Reveal, Chris Burgess has watched companies struggle to measure ROI – how Augmented Reality can improve the company's Financial Reality. As with any new technology, there is confusion around what AR can and can't do. In this blog post, originally published on LinkedIn, Chris shares lessons learned and wise advice for anyone using – or thinking about using – Augmented Reality.
When Pokemon Go came onto the scene, Augmented Reality finally received the prominence early adopters like HP's Chris Burgess had been expecting. With the arrival of ARKit and ARCore, the world really went AR mad. Apple and Google unleashed their latest tech for developers to start demonstrating what they can do, and so far it seems the possibilities are endless. However, Burgess wants to see AR content generation made even easier for "non-techies."
In the world of cloud services, Kubernetes – originally designed by Google – is a portable, extensible open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services. It facilitates declarative configuration and also automation. The Kubernetes ecosystem is large and growing, but how does it compare to Docker for container orchestration? How are PrintOS and HP-ID using containers? Dave Staas, Galo Gimenez, and Cassio Berra share their knowledge of Kubernetes with our community.

Some content needs to be printed in landscape. This is fairly common when you have spreadsheets or data-filled reports. This can be tricky when printing from the browser, because it relies on the user to select landscape printing, which is rarely the default orientation. If you use PDF generation on the server, it's relatively easy to enforce landscape orientation.
