These 6 cloudformation lessons I have learned for life

I started working with cloudformation 4 years ago. Since then, I have broken many infrastructures, even those that were already in production. But every time I messed something up, I learned something new. Through this experience, I will share some of the most important lessons I have learned. Lesson 1: Test Your Changes Before You Deploy Them I […]

Testing will show: how to prepare for the implementation of Cisco ISE and understand what system features you need

How often do you buy something spontaneously, succumbing to cool advertising, and then this initially desired thing gathers dust in a closet, pantry or garage before the next general cleaning or moving? As a result, disappointment due to unrealistic expectations and wasted money. It is much worse when this happens with a business. Very often marketing tricks are so good that companies get […]

Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces. Part 2: Abstraction: Process (translation)

Introduction to operating systems Hi, Habr! I would like to bring to your attention a series of articles-translations of one interesting literature in my opinion - OSTEP. This material discusses quite deeply the work of unix-like operating systems, namely, work with processes, various schedulers, memory, and other similar components that make up a modern OS. You can see the original of all materials here. […]

Release of the hierarchical address book, updated Zimbra Docs and other new items in Zimbra 8.8.12

Just the other day, Zimbra Collaboration Suite 8.8.12 was released. Like any minor update, the new version of Zimbra does not contain any revolutionary changes, but it boasts innovations that can greatly improve the usability of Zimbra in enterprises.

By eliminating the delays of traditional DBMS with SAP HANA, you can greatly increase the performance of systems, transaction processing (OLTP) and business intelligence (OLAP).

Electrolux launches smart air purifier for the most polluted cities

Not so long ago, the Electrolux campus in Stockholm was filled with acrid smoke from a fire in a nearby garage. The developers and managers who were in the office felt a burning sensation in their throats. One employee had trouble breathing and took time off from work. But before leaving home, she lingered a little in the building where Andreas Larsson and colleagues tested Pure […]

6. Check Point Getting Started R80.20. Getting Started in SmartConsole

Welcome to lesson 6. Today we will finally work with the famous Check Point GUI. Something that most people love Check Point for, and some people hate. If you remember the last lesson, then there I said that security settings can be controlled either through SmartConsole, or through a special API that appeared only in the R80 version. In this lesson […]

Do not open ports to the world - you will be broken (risks)

Time and time again, after conducting an audit, in response to my recommendations to hide the ports behind a white-list, I am met with a wall of misunderstanding. Even very cool admins / DevOps ask: “Why?!?” I propose to consider risks in descending order of likelihood of occurrence and damage. Configuration error DDoS over IP Brute force Service vulnerabilities Kernel stack vulnerabilities Increased DDoS attacks Configuration error The most typical and dangerous situation. How […]

News from the bottom: IT giants began to actively build their own underwater backbone networks

We have long been accustomed to the fact that large IT companies are engaged not only in the release of products and the provision of services, but also actively participate in the development of Internet infrastructure. Google's DNS, Amazon's cloud storage and hosting, Facebook's data centers around the world - fifteen years ago it seemed too ambitious, but now it is the norm that everyone is used to. And now, the four largest […]

Server in the clouds: getting ready for launch

In a post about the regatta, we mentioned that in August a competition with prizes awaits all habrazhites. It's time to lift the veil of secrecy. Somehow we got the idea that the phrase "server in the clouds" can be taken literally. And let's really launch a working server into the sky, which can be pinged! At first the idea looked crazy, but after twisting it this way and that […]

cloud future

We are now on the threshold of a new era of cloud computing. I don’t quite understand why we call remote server computing cloud computing. Of course, it’s worth remembering ruvds, which launched a server on a balloon and Microsoft with an underwater data center, but in reality, we live “near” the servers that will soon become our main method of computing. What […]
