I've been in and around Open Source since around 1997, and have been running (GNU) Linux as my main desktop at home and work since then: not always easy...  I'm a security bod and architect, co-founder of the Enarx project, and am currently CEO of a start-up in the Confidential Computing space.  I have a blog - "Alice, Eve & Bob" - where I write (sometimes rather parenthetically) about security.  I live in the UK and like single malts.

Tomut - developers do focus on more common OSes for their apps, so we need to make Linux more common! I have no idea about trading, I'm afraid - but a quick search found this: http://www.junauza.com/2011/10/best-stock-market-software-for-linux.html. Hopefully you'll find something that works for you there. If not, start writing something, or asking around!

Jamesh -

So - although micro services _can_, like any other security component, pose a security threat, the main thrust of the article as that they can actually be a security _benefit_.
