Yahoo plans to tap listings and reviews from Yelp as part of an effort to improve local search results. According to numerous sources inside the company, CEO Marissa Mayer confirmed the deal to employees at its weekly all-hands meeting on Friday. She told the group that Yahoo had closed a deep content licensing deal with the San Francisco recommendations site, similar to ones it has previously struck with Apple and Microsoft. Yahoo product exec Anand Chandrasekaran, who was a key player in the Yelp partnership, took to the stage to show how integration would look, a partnership that he said would be announced soon. The tie-up was also reported earlier on Saturday by the Wall Street Journal. Mayer has long been interested in Yelp, including trying to convince Google to buy it when she was an exec there. The acquisition never happened for a number of reasons, although it got very close. But Mayer has clearly never lost her interest in the company.

The tools that you currently use to manage the software and hardware outside the cloud aren’t always the best tools to efficiently grow into the cloud. All of the major configuration management tools have cloud orchestration plugins that can be leveraged, but there are also cloud-native tools that can dramatically improve the efficiency of managing your application lifecycle.

Traditional on-premises data centers have long been the domain of modern data platforms like Apache Hadoop, meaning companies who build their business on public cloud were challenged to run Big Data processing and analytics at scale. But recent advancements in Hadoop performance, security, and most importantly cloud-native integrations, are giving organizations the ability to truly gain value from all their data.

When building large, cloud-based applications that operate at a high scale, it's important to maintain a high availability and resilience to failures. In order to do that, you must be tolerant of failures, even in light of failures in other areas of your application. "Fly two mistakes high" is an old adage in the radio control airplane hobby. It means, fly high enough so that if you make a mistake, you can continue flying with room to still make mistakes.
