Automating HR processes using Microsoft Teams, PowerApps, and Power Automate. Employee exit requests.

Hello everyone! Today I would like to share a small example of automating the process of creating requests for new employee onboarding using Microsoft SharePoint, PowerApps, Power Automate, and Teams. When implementing this process, there's no need to purchase separate user plans for PowerApps and Power Automate; an Office365 E1/E3/E5 subscription will suffice. On the SharePoint site, we will create lists and columns, PowerApps […]

Data Division. 2013. Retrospective

In 2013, IBS, which seemed to be establishing the Data Division at the time, asked me to create a brain dump (exclusively based on my experience interacting with corporate oil and gas clients) regarding the problematic area of Big Data and Data in general. I stumbled upon it after 7 years and found it amusing. Some points are obvious. Some turned out to be not entirely accurate, but… 7 […]

Launching Jupyter into LXD orbit

Have you ever experimented with code or system utilities in Linux in a way that protects the base system and avoids complete failure in case of errors in code that needs to run with root privileges? What about the need to test or launch a whole cluster of various microservices on a single machine? A hundred or even a thousand? […]

Processing network data on the fly

The translation of the article has been prepared in anticipation of the start of the course 'Pentest. Practical Penetration Testing.' Abstract Various types of security assessments, ranging from regular penetration testing and Red Team operations to hacking IoT/ICS devices and SCADA, involve working with binary network protocols, essentially intercepting and modifying network data between the client and the target. Network sniffing […]

Data Engineer and Data Scientist: skills and earnings

We are collecting and configuring our CDN.

Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are used on websites and in applications mainly to speed up the loading of static elements. This is achieved by caching files on CDN servers located in different geographical regions. When a user requests data via a CDN, they receive it from the nearest server. The principle of operation and functionality are roughly the same across all content delivery networks. Upon receiving a request to load [...]

Experience in implementing network fabrics based on EVPN VXLAN and Cisco ACI, along with a brief comparison.

Evaluate the links in the middle part of the scheme. We'll return to them below. At some point, you may encounter the fact that large, complex L2-based networks are irreparably flawed. First and foremost, this involves problems related to the processing of BUM traffic and the operation of the STP protocol. Secondly, there is a generally outdated architecture. This leads to unpleasant issues in the form of [...]

Mass Optimization of PostgreSQL Queries. Kirill Borovikov (Tensor)

The report presents some approaches that allow monitoring the performance of SQL queries when there are millions per day and hundreds of controlled PostgreSQL servers. What technical solutions enable us to effectively process such a volume of information, and how does this make life easier for the average developer? Who is interested in a breakdown of specific problems and different techniques for SQL query optimizations and solutions to typical DBA tasks in PostgreSQL […]
