Roma meets A Gentleman in Moscow in this vivid portrait of the
twentieth century, witnessed by one boy from his self-imposed
refuge in Mexico City. Galo has not left his home on Amsterdam
Street, not since the day in 1938 when a shocking act of violence
split his family apart. His hermitage is made easier by the
peculiar design of the street. It is shaped like an ellipse - if
you walk it, you will find yourself returning to the same place
again and again. Playing host to Jewish refugees, Spanish exiles,
and Latin American revolutionaries, his home becomes the school at
which Galo learns about a world he never sees, and the ideals and
terrors that shape history. He begins to realize that Amsterdam
Street, the site of endless returns, may be the true centre of the
world. Appointing himself the street's guardian, Galo witnesses the
decades pass, knowing that everyone who walks away must one day
come back. A novel of rare humanity and grace, The Guardian of
Amsterdam Street is a stunning portrait of a neighbourhood where
the whole of the twentieth century comes alive and a moving inquiry
into how we shape the world, and how it transforms us in turn.
Understand how to use K3s and k3OS for different use cases and
discover best practices for building an edge computing system Key
Features A guide to implementing an edge computing environment
Reduce latency and costs for real-time applications running at the
edge Find stable and relevant cloud native open source software to
complement your edge environments Book DescriptionEdge computing is
a way of processing information near the source of data instead of
processing it on data centers in the cloud. In this way, edge
computing can reduce latency when data is processed, improving the
user experience on real-time data visualization for your
applications. Using K3s, a light-weight Kubernetes and k3OS, a
K3s-based Linux distribution along with other open source cloud
native technologies, you can build reliable edge computing systems
without spending a lot of money. In this book, you will learn how
to design edge computing systems with containers and edge devices
using sensors, GPS modules, WiFi, LoRa communication and so on. You
will also get to grips with different use cases and examples
covered in this book, how to solve common use cases for edge
computing such as updating your applications using GitOps, reading
data from sensors and storing it on SQL and NoSQL databases. Later
chapters will show you how to connect hardware to your edge
clusters, predict using machine learning, and analyze images with
computer vision. All the examples and use cases in this book are
designed to run on devices using 64-bit ARM processors, using
Raspberry Pi devices as an example. By the end of this book, you
will be able to use the content of these chapters as small pieces
to create your own edge computing system. What you will learn
Configure k3OS and K3s for development and production scenarios
Package applications into K3s for shipped-node scenarios Deploy in
occasionally connected scenarios, from one node to one million
nodes Manage GitOps for applications across different locations Use
open source cloud native software to complement your edge computing
systems Implement observability event-driven and serverless edge
applications Collect and process data from sensors at the edge and
visualize it into the cloud Who this book is forThis book is for
engineers (developers and/or operators) seeking to bring the cloud
native benefits of GitOps and Kubernetes to the edge. Anyone with
basic knowledge of Linux and containers looking to learn Kubernetes
using examples applied to edge computing and hardware systems will
benefit from this book.
This thorough discussion of the idea of "democracies without
citizenship" in Latin America considers overcoming political
violence and discrimination and analyzes various avenues to
institutional judicial reform. The (Un)Rule of Law and the
Underprivileged in Latin America, as the fourth part of Project
Latin America 2000 from the Helen Kellogg Institute, enlarges the
understanding of significant political, economic, and social issues
facing Latin America at the threshold of a new century.
The contributors develop arguments around the Latin American
system of law which only punishes the poor and marginalized. In
addressing lawless violence, the contributors argue that it is no
longer the democratic state that directly commits the abuses.
Instead, it fails to control arbitrary practices of its own agents
and to challenge those who flaunt disregard for the law. The
collection demonstrates that it is impossible to separate judicial
reform from human rights and argues that justice must be made
accessible to the poor and that governments make a serious and
comprehensive commitment to social reform.
