Google has introduced Confidential VMs for Google Cloud Confidential Computing

At Google, we believe that cloud computing will increasingly shift towards private, encrypted services that guarantee users complete confidence in maintaining data privacy.

Now that I've partially figured it out, I'm ready to share with you. There won't be a description of installation and basic setup of Dude, as there are many detailed instructions for that. Also, I won't explain why I specifically use Dude, […]

Updated announcement of the revised intensives: Kubernetes from alpha to omega

TL;DR, dear Habr users. Autumn has come, the calendar page has turned once again, and September 3rd has finally passed. This means it's time to return to work — not only to it but also to learning. — For us, — said Alice, catching her breath, — when you run at full speed for a long time, you inevitably end up in another place.

Understanding FreePBX and integrating it with Bitrix24 and more

Integration of Asterisk and Bitrix24

There are various options for integrating the Asterisk IP PBX with Bitrix24 CRM available online, but we have decided to create our own. The functionality is quite standard: By clicking on a link with the client's phone number in Bitrix24, Asterisk connects the internal number of the user who clicked with the client's phone number. A record of the call is logged in Bitrix24, and upon completion […]

A vulnerability in TLS that allows the identification of keys for connections based on DH cipher.

Details have emerged about a new vulnerability (CVE-2020-1968) in the TLS protocol, codenamed Raccoon, which under rare circumstances allows the determination of the pre-master key that can be used to decrypt TLS connections, including HTTPS, when intercepting transit traffic (MITM). It is noted that the attack is very complex to implement in practice and is more theoretical in nature. To carry out the attack […]

Continuous Integration as a practice, not Jenkins. Andrey Alexandrov

Let's discuss why CI tools and CI are quite different. What pain points is CI aimed to solve, where did the idea originate, what are the latest confirmations that it works, and how to determine if you actually have practice rather than just a set-up Jenkins instance. The idea to give a presentation on Continuous Integration came about a year ago when I was attending interviews looking for a job. I spoke […]

How to achieve the perfect course? Do it yourself.
