The OVHcloud Bastion - Part 2

The OVHcloud SSH Bastion – Part 2: delegation dizziness

This is the second part of a blog series, here is part one. We’ve previously found that the bastion is not your usual SSH jumphost (in fact, we found it is not a jumphost at all) and we discussed how the delegation was one of the core features we’d originally needed. So, let’s dive into

A journey through the wondrous land of Machine Learning or "Can I really buy a palace in Paris for 100,000€?" (Part 2)

A journey through the wondrous land of Machine Learning or “Can I really buy a palace in Paris for 100,000€?” (Part 2)

Spoiler alert, no you can’t. A few months ago, I explained how to use Dataiku – a well-known interactive AI studio – and how to use data, made available by the French government, to build a Machine Learning model predicting the market value of real estate. Sadly, it failed miserably: when I tried it on

Declarative integration tests in a microservice environment

Declarative integration tests in a microservice environment

At OVHcloud, the Domain Names team currently manages a total of 5 millions domain names. To handle this volume, and anticipate future growth, we have been migrating our information system from a monolith to a microservice-inspired architecture. Although this ongoing migration presents lots of advantages over the monolithic approach (scalability being the most obvious), a

Do you need to process your data? Try the new OVHcloud Data Processing cloud service!

Do you need to process your data? Try the new OVHcloud Data Processing service!

One of the data services of OVHcloud is called OVHcloud Data Processing (ODP). It is a service that allows you to submit a processing job without caring about the cluster behind it. You just have to specify the ressources you want to use for your job, and the service will abstract the cluster creation, and destroy it for you as soon as your job is finished. In other words, you don’t have to think about clusters any more. Decide how much resources you need to process your data in the most efficient way for you and let OVHcloud Data Processing do the rest.

How PCI-Express works and why you should care? #GPU

What is PCI-Express ? Everyone, and I mean everyone, should pay attention when they do intensive Machine Learning / Deep Learning Training. As I explained in a previous blog post, GPUs have accelerated Artificial Intelligence evolution massively. However, building a GPUs server is not that easy. And failing to create an appropriate infrastructure can have
