Arsenal Emergent →
Detailing the use of internetworked F-35 Lightning II fighter aircraft and a newly converted B-52 ordinance 'truck' (I do prefer the old-school moniker of B-52 Stratofortress). Proof that there is nothing new under the sun; and potentially flawed, (unless the 'arsenal truck' is unmanned, stealthy (which the B-52 is not and in LEO), even then, still vulnerable from killer satellite and missile attack). Outstanding, nonetheless.

Astonishing.

"the Art of Secure Application Deployment" →
In my opinion, there is absolutely no 'art' in securely deployed applications...
Not withstanding this, the subject of this post is the well engineered conversational interview over at Linux.com, with Tim Mackey, an evangelist at Black Duck Software; in which the two participants in the conversation hold forth in 'DevOps and the Art of Secure Application Deployment' (scribed by Amber Ankerholz). Worth the read.
