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? […]
The translation of the article has been prepared in anticipation of the start of the course 'Pentest. Practical Penetration Testing.'
