Concordium Brings 26 Years of Volvo and Geely Finance Leadership Onto Its Board

Who signs when the car pays? For a century the answer was obvious, because a vehicle could no more settle a bill than a kettle could and every transaction that touched it ran through a driver's card, a fleet manager's account or a dealer's ledger. That assumption is now ending in the same decade that software agents are being given wallets, which is why the Concordium Foundation, a Swiss foundation running a blockchain with identity built into the protocol, has appointed a car company's chief executive to its board.

Per Ansgar, chief executive of Geely Sweden Holdings AB, joins a board chaired by founder Lars Seier Christensen alongside Ueli Maurer, professor of cryptography at ETH Zurich, Swiss commercial lawyer Simone Monnerat and digital executive Nibras Stiebar-Bang. He arrives with 26 years at Volvo Cars, including as Deputy CFO and as Chief Financial Officer of Volvo...

GKE CPU 起動ブースト: オーバープロビジョニングなしでアプリの起動を高速化

※この投稿は米国時間 2026 年 10 月 3 日に、Google Cloud blog に投稿されたものの抄訳です。トラフィックの急増に対応してマイクロサービスを起動する場合でも、新しいソフトウェアリリースをデプロイする場合でも、アプリケーションレプリカをスケールアップする場合でも、Google Kubernetes Engine（GKE）で実行されるアプリケーションの高速で応答性の高いユーザーエクスペリエンスを維持するには、Pod の起動時間が重要ですしかし、プラットフォームエンジニアと開発者は、アプリケーションが起動時に定常状態の運用時よりも大幅に多くの CPU パワーを必要とすることが多いという、根強いジレンマに直面しています。通常の定常状態の使用量に合わせて CPU リクエストをサイジングすると、起動時に CPU スロットリングが発生し、コールドスタートの遅延や、readiness プローブのタイムアウトにつながる可能性があります。逆に、短時間の起動バーストに対応するためにベースライン CPU リクエストをオーバープロビジョニングすると、貴重なコンピューテ
