When development first begins, it's often unclear which packages will actually go into the target rootfs. In other words, it's too early to grab onto LFS, buildroot, or yocto (or anything else), but you need to start already. For those with ample resources (I have 4GB eMMC on the pilot samples), there is a solution to provide developers with a distribution that will quickly deliver whatever is missing in this […]
We will use Gitlab CI and manual GitOps to implement and utilize Canary deployment in Kubernetes. Articles in this series: (this article) Canary Deployment using ArgoCI, Canary Deployment using Istio, Canary Deployment using Jenkins-X, Istio Flagger. We will perform Canary deployment manually through GitOps and create/modify core Kubernetes resources. This article is intended for the first […]
Cisco StealthWatch is a security analytics solution that provides comprehensive threat monitoring across a distributed network.

The malicious insertion was found in the test code 05_rcx.t, which has been included since 2011. Notably, concerns about loading suspicious code were raised on Stackoverflow as early as 2016. The malicious activity involves attempts to load and execute code from external […]

The main goal of Patroni is to provide High Availability for PostgreSQL. However, Patroni is just a template, not a ready-made tool (as stated in the documentation). At first glance, configuring Patroni in a test lab shows what a wonderful tool it is and how easily it handles our attempts to break the cluster. However, in practice, in a production environment […]

Our situation is quite unique: we install and support our software as […]
