Status of Kubernetes federation v2 - kubernetes

Does anyone know the status of Kubernetes federation v2? I mean which of the goals specified in the "Cluster Federation v2 API Structure and Workflow
" document are already addressed and which are not? In particular, I would like to know if policy-based resource placement is already supported?
Thanks

It's still pretty much a WIP. I believe you can find most of the information in their community page
I would strongly suggest going through their meeting notes and their recordings. Also, if you have any specific questions feel free to join the meetings.
Update: There are newer projects addressing the same problem. For example:
Karmada

What is the easiest way to get AB-testing with Marathon & Mesos?

What is the easiest way to get AB-testing with Marathon & Mesos?
We're currently investigating an enterprise solution called vamp, but if there are any good open source solutions, that'd be great to know.
DISCLAIMER : I work for Mesosphere so my answer might not be most unbiased
DC/OS is an open-source solution that comes with Mesos/Marathon and much more out of the box :
https://github.com/dcos/
https://docs.mesosphere.com/1.11/installing/
There is a Mailing list and Slack Comuunity to help you get started
Mesosphere also has an Enterprise solution which comes with a bunch of closed source security features and support. But DC/OS is an "open core" product. Feature Comparison between OSS and Enterprise

Postgresql on Swisscom cloud

I think Postgresql is part of the CloudFoundry services but I could not find it in the list of services for the Swisscom Cloud.
I would love to know if it will be added in the future ?
Thanks
The Cloud Foundry Open Source developer, user and engineering community loves PostgreSQL. For example our CI/CD pipeline doesn't support MariaDB. There are a lot of PostgreSQL fans working for the cloud project, but also some guys prefer MariaDB for non-technical reasons.
The official answer is something like this:
Your inquiry concerns a feature that is not currently available in our
platform. We do not comment on the availability of any new features.
We announce them when we are ready. Your request as well as you
e-mail address were transferred to the Application Cloud Product
Management team. They may try to contact you regarding the feature
you requested. We have aggressive road map for next few months and we
plan brining many exciting features for our customers. We can only
say that much that Postgres is defiantly on our radar. Follow our
announcements on twitter channel or on developer.swisscom.com. Our
newsletter also provides frequent updates updates of the Application
Cloud.
Sorry for the management type answer.

Where can I find bluemix programmer(s) for contract work?

I have some work I need completed on the bluemix platform and need contractors to complete it? I will have a constant flow flow of work. Any advice/recommendations greatly appreciated.
Look on StackOverflow careers!!!
http://careers.stackoverflow.com/
They have a database full of awesome programmer... If you don't like it, you can look for programmers who specialize in certain fields (such as BlueMix API usage) in sites such as:
Freelancer - https://www.freelancer.com/
Elance - https://mobile.elance.com/m/
And any other freelancing sites

Accessing Onedrive For Business Files via REST api in something other than a .NET application?

I apologize for my fundamental lack of knowledge in regards to these technologies in advance. I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the whole Azure AD/Authentication process in general, and I don't feel that Microsoft's support documents adequately describe much of the process.
I appears to me that the REST requests themselves are quite simple, and the following page seems to detail them quite well. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/office365/api/files-rest-operations
However, what I fail to understand is the authentication process.
My goal here is to determine if what I'd like to do is even possible, so I will begin with that. What I need to be able to do is to be able to make REST API calls from a JSP or potentially a PHP script to access a link to a file located on a user's Onedrive for Business account. To put it simply, I would just like to be able to quickly get a publicly accessible link to a user's file. From the perspective of having access to the REST API, that seems to be a simple task, my challenge is understanding and implementing the capability to do so.
Correct me if I am wrong, but my current understanding of the process goes something like so.
Create an application in Azure AD, you need to define a location for signing on. I'm not certain how this works at all, does the defined location need to be making a request to sign on somehow? Does it need to exist on the same domain? I honestly have no idea the nature of how you actually go about signing in, but it requires some authentication of the application as well.
Once you have signed in, you have access to a 'security token' that has information about the application and what it can access. how is this token stored? A server session, browser cookies?
Somehow you pass this token along with your REST request and it is determined that you have access to the information you are requesting.
I have used pre-made JavaScript file pickers in the past to facilitate the selection of user files for things such as Google Drive and Dropbox, but it doesn't appear as though any such tools exist for Onedrive for Business, so I will need to become familiar with the authentication process myself. Looking into the Microsoft documentation has only served to confuse myself more, and unfortunately all of the examples are for .NET projects as far as I can tell. I am afraid that this means that is it only possible to access this information from a .NET project, but please correct me if this is not the case.
I realize that this question appears extremely ignorant, and that's likely because it is. Moving from JavaScript file pickers to something like this appears to be a significant leap in required technical prowess, and I'm still rather new, so please forgive my inexperience. Most importantly I'd like to know if what I'm looking to do is possible at all, and secondly if there are any readily available resources that are a little more focused than the Microsoft documentation.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
There are some great resources available for coding for Office 365 and not just those on MSDN.
The best place to start is http://dev.office.com. This is the destination for information on O365 development. You can get to the documentation, training materials and code samples. The code samples have a filter so you can search on a number of properties including language and product. There are samples of course for .net, but also for iOS, Android and PHP, which is what you mention you want to use for your project.
http://dev.office.com/code-samples-detail/2138
This sample connects to the calendar, but the important part is understanding the authentication process for your application to Azure AD. Once you get the authentication working, you can call the other O365 services by getting the resource url to the appropriate resource from the Discovery Service.
If you need more samples, http://github.com/officedev is the place to look. These samples are from Microsoft, the community as well as the code used in Microsoft and community training events and presentations.
If you prefer, some great training courses exist on Microsoft Virtual Academy for Office 365 development. These are online videos that are broken into chapters and sections so you can easily find what you need. They often have labs associated with them as well. I recommend the Intro to Office 365 Development - Section 5 to get a quick overview of the Office 365 APIs and then look at the Deep Dive: Integrate Office 365 APIs in Your Web Apps.
If you still have questions, this is the place to post them. Hope this helps. Reply if you have any questions.

Can you extend Google Identity Toolkit to include facebook/twitter/etc?

I decided to look into using Google Identity Toolkit. I knew I liked the UI, and the idea of using a "federated" login system. I'm now having my doubts, as while my site works well with gmail/ymail/hotmail etc, it doesn't seem to support any of the social platforms.
Essentially, I just need an email address from people to be registered with the site, so I thought GITKit was the perfect solution.
Should I have gone down a custom route (like stackoverflow?), or have I missed some of the GITKit documentation?
Any help would be much appreciated.
I did do a fair amount of googling prior to posting that question. However, I have come accross some answers. Rather than delete my post - I guess I should share the information. If others thought the information was clear, please delete this thread!
Firstly, there is a page identifying how to add custom IDP's: https://sites.google.com/site/gitooldocs/customidps
There is also a sample site (http://www.openidsamplestore.com/localmapping/) which uses facebook.
How does the advanced demo work for identity providers who are not
E-mail providers, such as social networks?
The hardest part about
designing the advanced site was to find a way to handle all the
edge-cases that can happen with these types of identity providers.
Google previously published a summary of best-practices for
account-linking that describes why these types of identity providers
are so much harder to support. However this demo provides a user
self-service mechanism for all the tricky cases to avoid the costs
that a website might otherwise occur if those users contact a customer
support representative.
Finally, a best practices run-down is available here:
https://sites.google.com/site/oauthgoog/UXFedLogin/loginlogic
EDIT 1 :
If that identity provider asserts email addresses that it does not
host, we suggest you also implement additional account linking logic.
A future version of GITKit will add support for these type of
identity providers, such as social networks, which will avoid the need
to implement that logic
Perhaps GITKit is the future after-all... Would be nice to have an idea of the time-frame in which this support will be added though...
EDIT 2 :
Direct from the horses mouth (Eric Sachs # Google - Source Link):
That feature is not expected to be generally available in 2011. We
are shooting for Q1 2012
Looks like someone got it working back in Dec 2011 but there is still an outstanding issue with mapping the id returned to an email address. It was probably resolved:

Here is the documentation for the sample store including brief info on basic, mobile and advanced mode (using facebook):

An out-of-the-box IDP for facebook and twitter has not yet been released.
